The post Shimga (2019) – Marathi Movie appeared first on MarathiStars.

In such a rich history of Marathi cinema very few times, we have seen the culture of Maharashtra’s very own paradise ‘Konkan’ being represented & explored! The ‘Shimga’ festival in Konkan is of utmost importance & there are countless religious & cultural activities that take place during it. Now finally we have a Marathi film titled ‘Shimga’ that is set in Konkan & where the festivals seem to be an important backdrop to the story.

The teaser of the film that stars Bhushan Pradhan, Rajesh Shringarpure & Kamlesh Sawant has truly captured the essence of the festival & also seems to have incorporated ”drama’ into it. It would be interesting to see what exactly is the plot of the film.

The beautiful locales of Konkan, the iconic ‘Konkan Railway’ all have found a place in the teaser. From the times of ‘Gomu Maherla Jaate ho Nakhwa” to the recent “Gaaz Yeta Go” there have been iconic songs set in the Konkan backdrop. So again there will be hopes from Shimga’s music which is composed by popular music director Pankaj Padghan.

Review: Nashibvaan
Cast: Bhau Kadam, Mithali Jagtap, Neha Joshi, Atul Aaglavey, Jaywant Wadkar, Yatin Karyekar & Rajesh Shringarpure
Director: Amol Gole
Original Story: Uday Prakash (Based on ‘Dilli Ki Deewar’)

Quick Viewpoint: ‘Nashibvaan’ is a film that loses it’s a charm because of not being clear about what it wants to be & where it wants to belong? It starts like a non-commercial festival suited film but later throughout feels more in the commercial zone, in both types it succeeds to average extent.

What Works? 

• Bhau Kadam! For the major part of the film! He plays a man who starts off being the usual innocent Bhau we are familiar with but later he has been presented in grey shades in a non-judgemental way, where his evolution over the course of time (however there’s a big issue with ‘the course of time’) does feel believable! In fact, almost every character in the film can be looked as grey characters.
• The first half of the film even after being slightly repetitive manages to keep us invested completely. The refreshing aspect here is how ‘Nashibvaan’ has portrayed poverty! It isn’t melodramatic as it is mostly seen in other recent Marathi films.
• The film isn’t bothered to give a moral lecture about anything. Though it also means the film had to work harder on what exactly it wishes to say.

What Fails? 

• ‘The course of time’ has a major logical issue. Though the change of Bhau’s character is believable the period in which it happens doesn’t make sense. Beyond his character, even the transition that takes place in his house & their family’s lifestyle in so much less time just doesn’t make sense. The time period is the issue (it is of about three weeks, where it could have been of at least 6 months) not the plot point that changes their life!
• Bhau Kadam being the principal protagonist of the film, doesn’t get any defining moment by the end of the film. It feels the film only uses him for the sake of the plot & then leaves him with its consequences without making a definite closure for him in terms of what it wishes to say through the consequences.
• As said about Bhau’s lack of closure, the overall film too lacks the same. It’s not compulsory for every film to say anything specific but then those films are throughout constructed in the same way. ‘Nashibvaan’ is never an escapist or artistically dominant film, it is about the humans it deals with & hence a definite conclusion was essential.
• The film could have been much more sharply edited! At many occasions, scenes are repetitive & don’t contribute in taking the narrative forward. In fact, even within the scenes, there are countless shots that make us wonder why are they there? Maybe the filmmaker wished to capture the realism of that scenario but then as said earlier it is inconsistent in being a festival suited film.
• While Bhau Kadam’s performance might not be different from his usual style of acting, it works well. But Mithali Jagtap who is a National award-winning actress ends up giving an inconsistent performance. In her loud emotional outbursts she feels to be very typical & fake but in the silent moments, she is effective.

Final Verdict: Amol Gole has been around as a cinematographer & even as a producer for a while, so certainly there were expectations from this film. But ‘Nashibvaan‘ doesn’t quite reward us in a way it could have, had it been more specific & confident about the things it wanted to say.

Rating: 2.5/5

Very few honest actors work hard for their roles to such extent that it becomes effective on the screen. One such example is Bhau Kadam’s efforts for his upcoming film ‘Nashibvaan’. Bhau plays the roles of a sweeper in this film. To put life into the character Bhau in real picked up waste & cleaned just like a real sweeper!

The director of the film Amol Gole, didn’t want any adjustments & hence he made Bhau clean the actual garbage that a sweeper cleans. Bhau even cleaned public toilets! The majority of this film has been shot in Mulund, Mumbai.

Bhau Kadam says, “While playing this role I understood all the problems that sweepers & cleaners face. The diseases they tackle, the way society treats them & all of that. I started hating myself for all of this! Because it’s for us that these sweepers pick up garbage & keep our city clean. They do great work! They are real heroes for me! And now I have immense respect from them from the bottom of my heart.”

Presented by Vidhi Kasliwal of ‘Landmark Films’, & produced by Naresh Patil, Vinod Manohar Gaikwad & Mahendra Gangadhar Patil, ‘Nashibvaan’ releases in theatres on 11^th January 2019!

Bhau Kadam starrer ‘Nashibvaan’ is all set for the release. Vidhi Kasliwal of ‘Landmarc Films’ is presenting the film. Directed by cinematographer turned director Amol Vasant Gole, the first song of the film was recently revealed online! And since then the song has gone viral. Sung by popular singer Anand Shinde & also starring him in the video of the film.

The song has been penned by Shivkumar Dhale & the dance choreography has been done by Vitthal Patil. The unique thing about the song is that this song has been shot in a real dance bar. The bar was available for the shooting only for 1 day & the ‘Nashibvaan’ team had to shoot the song in that 1 day itself.

The song has a rocking chemistry between Bhau Kadam & Anand Shinde. Never before have the Marathi audiences got the opportunity to enjoy this chemistry between two of our favorite popular icons. Based on Uday Prakash’s Hindi story ‘Dilli Ki Deewar’, ‘Nashibvaan’ releases in theatres on 11^th January.
