‘विकून टाक‘ मध्ये उडणार ‘दादाच्या लग्नाचा’ बार

उत्तुंग हितेंद्र ठाकूर निर्मित ‘विकून टाक’ हा सिनेमा येत्या ३१ जानेवारीला प्रदर्शित होत आहे. तत्पूर्वी या चित्रपटातील ‘माझ्या दादाचे लगीन’ हे धमाकेदार गाणे प्रदर्शित झाले आहे. सगळ्यांच्याच नवीन वर्षाची वाजतगाजत,जल्लोषात सुरुवात करण्यासाठी ‘विकून टाक’ सिनेमाची टीम सज्ज झाली आहे. रोजच्या वापरातील साध्या शब्दांना कल्पकतेने गुंफून गुरु ठाकूर यांनी हे गीत लिहले आहे. लग्न म्हटले की मौजमजा, नाचगाणे ओघाने येतेच. त्यात जर लग्न खेड्यात असेल तर तिथली मजा काही औरच. मुकुंदाच्या म्हणजेच शिवराजच्या लग्नातले हे गाणे अतिशय सुंदर आहे. बहिणीपासून ते काकापर्यंत प्रत्येक जण मुकुंद सोबत असलेले आपले नाते सांगत त्याच्या लग्नाचा आनंद व्यक्त करत आहेत. अमितराज यांनी संगीतबद्ध केलेल्या या गाण्याला नंदेश उमप यांच्या भारदस्त आवाजाने चारचाँद लागले आहे. या गाण्याचे नृत्यदिग्दर्शन वृषाली चव्हाण यांनी केले आहे.

या गाण्याचा जन्म कसा झाला, याबद्दलचा एक किस्सा संगीतकार अमितराज यांनी सांगितला, ”आम्हाला एक हळदीचे गाणे बनवायचे होते. अनेक दिवस त्याच्यावर काम सुरु होते, मात्र काही जुळून येत नव्हते. एकदा आमच्या टीममधला एक सहकारी माझ्या ‘भावाचे लगीन’ आहे म्हणून लवकर जायचे सांगून निघाला. त्या क्षणी आमच्या डोक्यात एक कल्पना सुचली, प्रत्येक नात्याचा वापर करून आपण गाण्याची जुळवाजुळव केली तर? आणि त्या दृष्टीने गाणे बनवायचा प्रयत्न आमच्या संपूर्ण टीमने केला. त्यातूनच मग ‘माझ्या दादाचे लगीन’ गाण्याचा जन्म झाला. ज्यावेळी आम्ही हा प्रयोग केला तेव्हा वाटलेही नव्हते, की हे गाणे इतके धमाकेदार होईल.”
विवा इनएन प्रॉडक्शन आणि उत्तुंग हितेंद्र ठाकूर निर्मित ‘विकून टाक’ ह्या सिनेमाचे दिग्दर्शन समीर पाटील यांनी केले असून, क्रिएटिव्ह कन्सल्टंट म्हणून राजेंद्र वनमाळी यांनी काम पहिले आहे. या सिनेमात शिवराज वायचळ, रोहित माने, राधा सागर, ऋतुजा देशमुख, समीर चौगुले, हृषीकेश जोशी, रोहित माने, वर्षा दांदळे, जयवंत वाडकर यांच्या मुख्य भूमिका असणार आहेत.
तर मग २०२० ची लगीनघाईने सुरुवात करण्यासाठी सज्ज राहा.

Review: Dokyala Shot
Cast: Suvrat Joshi, Prajakta Mali, Ganesh Pandit, Omkar Govardhan, Rohit Haldikar & Sameer Choughule
Director: Shivkumar Parthasarathy

Viewpoint: ‘Dokyala Shot’ has a certain sense of novelty to it, because of it’s overall tone of comedy which mixes situational humor & slapstick humor together but the convenient turns it takes in the narrative are totally devoid of logic. Even if it’s intentional it keeps bothering us as more work on the script could have easily made the film lot more interesting.

What Works?

• The film’s lead cast is of four friends out of whom one (Suvrat Joshi) is suffering from retrograde amnesia (temporary memory loss). His friends played by Ganesh Pandit, Rohit Haldikar & Omkar Govardhan are somehow responsible for this condition and are now trying to make him alright. And all of this has happened just before two days of his wedding! The first half is full of sublime performances of all the four actors. The chemistry between them is instantly believable.
• The dialogue writing compliments the performances which makes many little moments (especially in the first half) uniquely hilarious.
• There’s one quality of a good situational comedy that the characters in the situation are actually very serious & the situation itself is a serious situation for them, but for the audiences those situations are presented such that they become funny. Here too this seriousness part is very effective. We understand that for the characters this isn’t all fun & games!
• There’s an undertone of a slight psychological suspense drama in the first half that is well included in the film through it’s treatment.

What Fails? 

• The second half is extremely overstretched & that too in situations that are lesser important in the narrative.
• There’s a certain style of repetitive humor in the film, which is fine, & it even works well a couple of times but the film keeps overdoing it. Then it becomes a drag & the title of the film becomes our condition!
• As said earlier the narrative is conveniently designed just to makes certain situations happen, it is totally devoid of logic. We do understand that for a comedy of this kind logic can’t be a criteria to judge but still there’s a limit to the liberty one can take in this department.
• This film is an official remake of a Tamil film, while we are not sure if the original film had something to say through the film, but here we surely saw a possibility. It definitely isn’t a rule that a film should have something to say but when the film falters as an ‘entertainer’ we do look for a message or a statement & especially when the film is said to be based on a real incident!

Final Verdict: ‘Dokyala Shot’ surely deserves one watch as this is a fresh kind of humor for the Marathi audiences. While this film isn’t totally a great film the debutante director of the film Shivkumar Parthasarathy has shown a glimpse of his talent, which makes us anticipate for the movies he might come up with in the future.

Rating: 2.5/5

Synopsis : This is a Marathi feature film titled ‘Barayan’. 

As the title suggests it is a story or rather ‘Ramayan’ that revolves around the year Baravi (12th Standard).

Most of us in our school life are threatened by this number i.e. 12th standard board examination. The social surrounding of our society these days has given lot of importance to the board examination thereby resulting in unnecessary burden on the student and putting performance pressure on him/her. Parent’s knowingly or unknowingly go with the flow and expect the same from their children putting unrealistic burden on the student. The overall education scenario has become very commercial. If the student does not perform in his 12th than he cannot do anything good with his/her life is a general perception of parents in particular and the society in general. 12th has become a turning point year. If one does not perform in this year than that’s the end of his/her career. Traditional mindset of the society is that Medical or Engineering are the only two major options. The film has subtly but in an ‘entertaining manner’ tried to highlight this aspect of our educational system and how we are becoming part of this. 

The story of the film revolves around incidents based on this one year in the life of our protagonist and his journey to engineering college after that. A story that unfolds various experiences of our protagonist, his learning during the process of him seeking education and identifying his ultimate interest. How his social surrounding is enabling him to grow as a person. The protagonist of the film represents today’s student and the challenges faced by him to understand his passion. 

The story of the film is set in a serene and calm town of Konkan, surrounded by mesmerizing seashore and beautiful fort. It is purely a family drama.

Lot of Marathi films have been made in recent times involving a teenager as the main protagonist. But most of the times these films have been love stories. Other films which do involve the scenario of exam pressure where not dealing with this subject with a serious perspective. But ‘Barayan’ looks distinct from all those films. The trailer itself projects the serious perspective towards 12^th Board exams & the confusion towards choosing a stream after the exams.

But the serious subject seems to be given a perfectly relatable treatment by the makers. The film seems like a complete entertainer. ‘Barayan’ stars many seasoned actors like Sanjay Mone, Nandu Madhav, Pratiksha Lonkar, Om Bhutkar, Vandana Gupte & in the lead a familiar child artist Anurag Worlikar.

Marathi cinema at this stage need films like ‘Barayan’ which can mix & match commercial cinema with socially relevant subjects. The film releases on 12^th January all over Maharashtra & should not be missed!
