Review:

Lai Bhaari last year marked the first time a Tamil/Telugu kind of a larger than life film becoming successful in marathi cinema. It was only a matter of time that the success of Lai Bhaari would be tried to be replicated. So, here comes Guru – a film with all the essential elements of a commercial potboiler a le south style.

Guru (Ankush Chaudhary), is a swindler who is in the ‘business of spare parts’ in Mumbai. Once while being chased by the police he witnesses a murder and the influential people involved in the murder force him to leave to his native place where his older brother, an upright man, still resides with his family. The villagers of his native place are under the threat of being forcefully evicted to make way for a ‘Mega City’ being planned on their land. A local advocate, along with Guru’s brother, vehemently oppose this project and firmly stand in the way of it. The advocate is bumped off and Guru’s brother attacked. Needless to mention, Guru comes to the rescue of the village and his brother, and what follows is anybody’s guess.

Ankush Chaudhary in the lead role is the best part about the film. He plays Guru with an undeniable charm and the role seems tailor made for him. Be it the actions scenes or the comic punches, Ankush adds his own flavor to it all. Murli Sharma as the menacing local politician hell bent grabbing the land of the villagers for the ‘mega city’ is also impressive. However, apart from these two you will be hard pressed to find anything appreciable about the film. The film might be sound on the technical side but the action scenes; the humour; the typical village belle who falls in love with the hero; all of it is so done to death that you struggle to find any originality in the film. Most of the punch lines like ‘Ghai hi vinashachi aai’ are lame and fall flat.

And what is with the ear deafening background score? My ears were buzzing with the extremely loud background score long after I was done with the screening. Many times the loud background score kills the tension that is being built in the scene. The effort to give Guru a particular garish look works, but the same cannot be said of the female lead played by Urmila Kanitkar; her make-up is so bright that it literally blinds us and we are left incapable of appreciating any other aspect of her performance.

Overall:

Guru is not much different than the many South films and their Hindi remakes that we have been subjected to in the last decade or so. Ankush Chaudhary in the lead role is what makes the film watchable.

Star Pravah is presenting a new show ‘Arre Vedya Mana’, a romantic journey of two young lovers Madhuri and Swapnil, scheduled to go on air on 20th April at 7 pm.

The promotional campaign of the show has received stupendous response on social media. It is currently trending on digital platforms with #FirstLove St .Madhuri, like today’s young Maharashtrian girl, is pampered and free-spirited. She believes in enjoying every moment of her life to the fullest. Being her parents’ only child, every stated wish is fulfilled and she is never burdened with any responsibilities. She is modern day girl who lives her life as per her own whims, and certainly not thinking of getting married soon.

Madhuri’s fun-filled care-free life changes when a Mumbai boy Swapnil falls in love with her at first sight. His love is unconditional, as he is ready to accept her the way she is. But they are poles apart as their families have brought them up very differently. Swapnil hails from a typical middle class joint family and imbibes that value system. He is a handsome young man and a fitness freak. He is matured but an introvert.

An engineer by qualification, he is very loyal and devoted to his work. He always strives to keep his family happy and united.In this soul stirring story, viewers will get to see whether ‘opposites attract’ is true. Will Madhuri ever fall in love with Swapnil? Will she be able to summit an Everest of expectations and relationships? Will these two individuals so different from each other end up together? All these queries will be put to rest from 20th of April onwards at 7 pm on Star Pravah.

• Review :  Rama Madhav (2014)
• Producer : Shivam – Jemin Entreprise Pvt Ltd
• Directer : Mrinal Kulkarni
• StarCast : Parna Pethe, Alok Rajwade, Mrinal Kulkarni, Sonalee Kulkarni, Ravindra Mankani, Prasad Oak, Dr. Amol Kolhe, Shruti Marathe, Aditi Rao Hydari

• Music : Anand Modak
• Review By : Keyur Seta

Rating : * * *

Story Outline :

A bubbly and naughty Rama (Shruti Kalselar and later Parna Pethe) hailing from a middle-class background is married to Madhavrao Peshwa (Alok Rajwade), the prince of the royal Peshwa dynasty, during her childhood. As the two grow up, the political scenario lands the couple in some serious challenges that also affect their personal life. Madhavrao’s evil and scheming uncle Raghunathrao (Prasad Oak) makes things worse.

Review :

The mention of the word ‘Peshwa’ instantly brings to our mind the glory of the Maratha Empire and the fearless battles of honor the Peshwas fought and won with style. But amidst such acts of bravery and fearlessness, the era also saw an episode of pure selfless love that is successfully portrayed in Mrinal Kulkarni’s Rama Madhav.

The film takes the viewer back to the bygone era very successfully through some convincing set and costume designing (Poornima Oak) and finely sketched characters. But, obviously, the bigger reason why the film works is the honest approach while presenting a lesser known story.

This happens due to two reasons. Firstly, to see the spirit of the Peshwas in terms of the administration of the state and bravery in wars is sheer delight! Secondly, the love track between Rama and Madhav is smartly interwoven in between various political issues. The writers have also made sure the proceedings don’t become depressing even during tragic situations.

The only big problem here is the length of 147 minutes. There are times in the second half when the narrative loses the grip it had provided earlier. It is also unlikely for people of today’s era to accept the regressive-ness of that era, especially during the starting moments.

Rajiv Jain’s excellent camerawork adds more delight. You just can’t fail to notice the artistic touch in almost every frame, mostly during the scenes inside Shanwar Wada. Anand Modak, who passed away earlier this year, composed tunes are melodious and they go well with the genre. The Ganpati aarti song, ‘Loot Liyo’ and ‘Swapnihi Navhte Disle’ stand out.

Such a film needs to score high in performances and that is exactly what is provided by the actors. Parna Pethe is thoroughly convincing as the elder Rama. Shruti Kalsekar, as the younger one, is super cute. She displays great acting skills too. Alok Rajwade, as Madhavrao, shines with a thoroughly dedicated act.

Prasad Oak gets into the skin of the antagonist Raghunathrao with ease. Mrinal Kulkarni displays her utmost mature skills while playing Gopikabai. Ravindra Mankani and Dr. Amol Kolhe make sure they perfectly suit Nanasaheb and Sadashivrao. Sonalee Kulkarni and Shruti Marathe provide decent support as Anandibai and Parvatibai.

Overall:

Rama Madhav is an honest effort that deserves to be seen. The film needs rapid word-of-mouth to have a big impact at the box office.
