The post स्वप्नांच्या रेशीमधाग्यांनी विणलेला ‘गोष्ट एका पैठणीची”चा टीझर प्रेक्षकांच्या भेटीला! appeared first on MarathiStars.

मराठी चित्रपटसृष्टीत होत असलेल्या वैविध्यपूर्ण व कल्पक प्रयोगांना मराठी प्रेक्षकांनी भरभरून प्रतिसाद दिला आहे. मायबाप प्रेक्षकांनी असाच प्रतिसाद नवीन चित्रपटांनाही द्यावा, यासाठी नेहमीच वेगवेगळ्या क्लृप्त्या अवलंबल्या जातात. सोमवारी पुणे येथील फर्ग्युसन महाविद्यलयाजवळ अभिनेत्री आणि दिग्दर्शिका मृण्मयी देशपांडे, सुव्रत जोशी, सायली संजीव या कलाकारांनी हातात फलक घेवून रस्त्यावर उतरत जेव्हा रसिकांना चित्रपटगृहाकडे यायचे आवाहन केले, तेव्हा सर्वांच्याच भुवया उंचावल्या.

मराठी अस्मिता जागी व्हावी, मराठी भाषेच्या संवर्धनासाठी मराठी प्रेक्षकांनी या भाषेतील कलाकृतींना पाठबळ द्यावे, अशी अपेक्षा सर्वत्र व्यक्त होत असताना या होतकरू कलाकारांनी उचलेल्या पावलाची सर्वत्र जोरदार चर्चा आहे.

सोमवारी २ मार्च २०२० रोजी दुपारी १२ वाजता ही मंडळी गुडलक हॉटेल, फर्ग्युसन महाविद्यालय मार्ग, गुडलक चौकाजवळ, डेक्कन जिमखाना येथे चक्क फलक घेवून उभे असलेले पाहायला मिळाले. त्यांच्या हातात अत्यंत कल्पक व लक्ष वेधून घेणारे फलक होते. “आमच्या सिनेमाच्या प्रमोशनसाठी आम्ही तुमच्याकडे आलोय, तुम्ही थिएटरमध्ये तरी या…”, “आमचा सिनेमा तुम्ही आई-बाबा, मित्र-मैत्रिणी, प्रियकर-प्रेयसी ते अगदी तुमच्या ‘एक्स’सोबतही पाहू शकता”, “मराठी लोकांनी थिएटरमध्ये जाऊन सिनेमा पहिलाच नाही तर मराठी सिनेमा चालणार कसा?’’, असे फलक घेऊन हे कलाकार हमरस्त्यात उभे होते. लोकही त्यांच्याकडे कुतूहलाने पाहत होते आणि चित्रपटासाठी येण्याचे आश्वासनही या कलाकारांना देत होते. मृण्मयी देशपांडे दिग्दर्शित आणि सुव्रत जोशी, सायली संजीव अंजली पाटील आणि अंकित मोहन यांच्या प्रमुख भूमिका असलेला ‘मन फकिरा’ येत्या ६ मार्च रोजी प्रदर्शित होत आहे.

The post Mann Fakiraa (2020) – Marathi Movie appeared first on MarathiStars.

They met, they fell in love and now they are married to each other! While this story is applicable to every couple, in case of Suvrat Joshi & Sakhi Gokhale this journey was throughout witnessed by their fans & audiences! They first worked together in the path-breaking Zee Marathi serial ‘Dil Dosti Duniyadari‘.

While the whole team of ‘3D’ had great chemistry together Suvrat’s & Sakhi’s chemistry traveled from reel to the real world! After the super success of their serial, they topped it up with another path-breaking work, this time on the stage of Marathi theatre with ‘Amar Photo Studio’. Recently we saw that Parna Pethe replaced Sakhi Gokhale in this play, but in the real life, no one could replace Sakhi in Suvrat’s life as they recently tied the wedding knot in a secret ceremony away from the limelight!
We are sure fans of both Suvrat & Sakhi would be glad to hear this news & would be hoping to see them together in films, serials, plays, etc. in the near future. We wish Suvrat & Sakhi a happy married life & lots of success in their professional careers!

Suvrat Joshi &Sakhee Gokhale Marriage- Wedding Photos

The post Suvrat Joshi & Sakhi Gokhale Marriage Photos appeared first on MarathiStars.

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

The post Dokyala Shot Review: A Nonsensical Laugh Riot that Both Hits & Misses! appeared first on MarathiStars.

The Pu La Deshpande biopic ‘Bhaai – Vyakti Kee Valli’ released in theatres in the first week of the year & is got a great response from audiences as well as critics. In Diwali, we witnessed the amazing life of ‘Dr. Kashinath Ghanekar’ in the Subodh Bhave starrer biopic! And now biopic of Balasaheb Thackeray has released in both Hindi & Marathi! In this completely biopic dominant atmosphere, we would like to propose 5 more biopics that should be made in Marathi cinema in the near future!

1. Sant Gadge Baba 

Unlike countless pseudo Babas of today’s times, Sant Gadge Baba had nothing to do with religion or blind faith! Rather Gadge Baba inspired people to think rationally & question every belief that is been thrust upon them. Gadge Baba was also a firm believer in cleanliness so much so that he is forever considered as the icon of many cleanliness programmes that are undertaken even now! Interestingly a film was even made on Gadge Baba starring Mohan Joshi as ‘Gadge Baba’. But unfortunately, it never released in theatres & was stuck in the post-production!

Whom would we like to play Gadge Baba? 

Of course Mohan Joshi! We wish that film releases at least now or whenever a new film is made we would again want Mohan Joshi to play Gadge Baba!

2. Neelimkumar Khaire 

Not a hugely popular name, but an incredibly great man who has dedicated his life to the world of snakes & different animals & our environment! Neelimkumar Khaire is an Environmentalist and Herpetologist who has an unbelievable record of spending 72 hours with 72 highly poisonous snakes in an 8 feet by 8 feet glass chamber! Not even a single snake bite him & survived the challenge! After that, he spent all his life working for the welfare of snakes & other animals! He even lost one hand during his journey, but he says his hand was not lost because of snake’s poison but because of the carelessness of the doctors who treated him! Know more about him & his inspiring, thrilling journey in this interview.

Interview Credits: Maharashtra1 TV

Whom would we like to play Neelimkumar Khaire?

Since this great man’s journey starts from his young age, we would name three actors to play him at different stages of his life! The younger role should be played by Suvrat Joshi, the middle-aged by Girish Kulkarni & the older one by Dr. Mohan Agashe!

3. Nikhil Wagle 

If you’ve seen the above interview, well we wish to know more about the interviewer himself! Nikhil Wagle is a senior reporter who has worked on many different channels & newspapers, magazines. No matter where he worked he has always voiced his opinion clearly & openly! Many hate him, many idolize him but none can ignore him! He has been an eye witness of the changing Maharashtra & India in the time period of over 3 decades! His life story certainly deserves to be told on screen!

Whom would we like to play Nikhil Wagle? 

This is quite a simple choice! Our beloved Jitendra Joshi is tailor-made to play Nikhil Wagle!

4. Dr. Narendra Dabholkar 

Do we even need a justification here? A man who was killed just because he was helping people become aware of the blind faith happening around them. He was never against any religion yet he had to become a martyr. His life is inspiring in every way. His selfless act of eradicating blind faith from our country brought together many like-minded young & old individuals & even today after 5 years of his assassination, these inspired people are still doing their work of eradicating blind faith!

Whom would we like to play Dr. Dabholkar?

While this is a really difficult choice but we believe we have one great actor who can pull off any difficult role, & he is the extremely versatile Dilip Prabhawalkar!

5. Nilu Phule

The obvious choice isn’t this! There isn’t a bigger iconic Marathi actor in the history of Marathi cinema than our beloved Nilu Bhau! While he was more popular for negative roles in films, he did play all kinds of character in different films & even plays! But more importantly, Nilu Bhau was known as a gold-hearted human being! He lived his life with utter simplicity & always participated in social work. He gave back much more than what he got from society!

Whom would we like to play Nilu Phule?

The supremely talented Sagar Karande would be our choice!

Party Review (Marathi Movie):

The overall takeaway from Sachin Darekar directorial ‘Party’ is pleasant in a way that you feel after a long time Marathi cinema has somehow come closer to the aura of ‘Duniyadari’, though a heavily flawed film ‘Duniyadari’ had created an aura around it & a group of dedicated fans. ‘Party’ too has the potential to become a cult among young film audiences who have loved recent youth centric entertainers too.

But when looked from an analytical point of view, Party has quite a few major problems. The first & foremost is the conflict in the second half. Somehow it works as a personal tragedy of a character but it doesn’t serve the purpose of the larger point the film wanted to make. This association of a personal tragedy to the larger point of the film worked better in ‘Duniyadari’, here it is weaker. The humor in the first half is too forceful at times, unnecessarily using many stereotypical characters like a ‘bhabhi’ & a clown like local goon-politician. In fact, the whole deliberate effort by the film to become funny affects the film adversely. Had it not been bothered to make people laugh, it would have turned a better film.

Out of the ensemble cast, Suvrat Joshi is surprisingly both the strongest & the weakest suit of the film! The story has two timelines, the present & the flashback. Suvrat Joshi is the strongest in the flashback but appears just unsuitable in the ‘devdas-mode’ of the present. There’s an underlying character development that the film doesn’t justify (well it doesn’t need to as 18 years have passed by in the lives of those characters). But the idea of an unserious guy turning responsible & the smarter guy losing everything has an inherent power in it. The film could have explored it better, but it stays faintly in the background.

One of the friends, played by debutant Stavan Shinde is shown as a Cricketer who plays for India (in the present), but not even once do we see any crowd wanting a selfie or an autograph from him! Secondly, the film keeps stressing that friends need to look after each other even when one of our friends is drowning himself wasting his life. The other friends seem to regret that didn’t look after him, but at the same time in a major montage sequence, we can clearly notice that those friends have looked after him many a time in different scenarios! By the end ‘Party’ wishes to become a thought-provoking tragedy, but it hardly scratches the surface.

The actors have done their parts well, but most of them are few notes loud especially in supposedly humorous scenes. For example when Chakrya (Akshay Tanksale) & Manya’s (Rohit Haldikar) father & mother (respectively) hit them a couple of times. The backdrop of a chawl seems realistic but the enactment of many such moments is loud & plastic. None of the performances really make a long-lasting impact on us. The music is good though, but again not quite that great as say ‘Duniyadari’.

Had ‘Party’ been written & executed to express than to forcefully impress, it had the potential to become a better film. A film that could deal with the growing away of friends in a more specific way & how time changes people.

Overall:

Having said all that, ‘Party’ is a film that can still entertain most of the audiences who don’t mind a certain tone-deaf humor & the whole idea of friends being there for each other. And it does succeed in creating that bond among the characters.

The post Party Review: An Effective Entertainer for the Youth appeared first on MarathiStars.

After being a successful writer in Marathi films & television, Sachin Darekar has made his directing debut with the upcoming youth-centric entertainer ‘Party’. Party is all set to hit the theatres on 7^th September & we had the team of the film that includes stars like Suvrat Joshi, Prajakta Mali & Akshay Tanksale open up about the film & on their experience doing this film.

Tell us about your experience of being a part of this ‘Party’!

Suvrat Joshi: I think our whole life is a ‘Party’! There’s a dialogue in the film that life is a ‘Party’ given by the almighty! And we were enjoying every moment of this party while shooting ‘Party’! This film will remind you of those golden memories of your childhood days when we collected one rupee each & enjoyed the party with our friends! It will remind you of those old days of the 1990s when things were simpler. Our favourite heroes & heroines of Hindi films used to walk in slow motion & all. This film is definitely about friendship but it’s also about those times that will make us all nostalgic!

Prajakta Mali: My experience too was really fun. The moment I knew that this film is directed by (Sachin Darekar) the writer of ‘Zenda’ film, I definitely wanted to be a part of this ‘Party’. I am very glad to say if there is any phase in my life that I have enjoyed the most it would be the 10-15 days of the workshop for ‘Party’ with the entire team! We had loads of fun during that time & during the shoot. While I have never had so many friends in real life, but this film made me wish that I had such a gang of friends.

Rohit Haldikar: When Sachin Sir (Director) called me for the first time & asked me to meet him, I was at the Borivali National Park. Sachin Sir told me to meet him right now! And coincidently he lived right next to the National Park! Then he narrated the story & told me about my character. I instantly connected with the character, as we all know there’s always this one guy in the group who is always going through a ‘Kadki’. Well, I play that guy! This guy though is scolded by his friends for this habit but he is also treated with equal love like other friends in the group. Like Prajakta said, the workshops were very fun & useful for me to get my character right.

Akshay Tanksale tell us about your ‘relation based’ image made through your songs! First ‘Kaka’ & now ‘Bhavdya’!

Akshay Tanksale: Haha. I guess after Kaka & Bhavdya the next song would be on my sister! In my real life ‘Party’ happens every other day in my life because I have a huge group of friends & many groups too. Yet I feel the party I had while doing this film is something else! I don’t think a party of this kind would ever come back in my life! I remember when I first met Sachin Sir, when I heard his voice on the phone I felt this guy is very strict! In person though that wasn’t the case! We connected instantly. When I got out of his house, there I met Amitraj Sir (Music director) & I thought this is something fun & I have to surely do this film!

Being a newcomer in this team tell us about your journey Stavan Shinde.

Stavan Shinde: When I was selected for this role I didn’t even need a script! I had trust on Sachin Sir as I have loved his previous works. So I am very thankful to him for selecting me. Later when I read the script I loved it & related with it. But I was worried if my parents would connect with it, so I narrated the script to my father. And I am telling you honestly that day me & my father for the first time we had drinks together like friends! That was the magic of ‘Party’ which I think the audience would relate too as well, both young audiences & family audiences.

This is your first film too Manjiri Pupala!

Manjiri Pupala: Everyone has a heard this fairy tale somewhere, that I simple girl was doing her usual work & a director notices her out of nowhere & offers her a role in his film! Even I had heard a story of this kind, but I never believed in it much. So I was about to start my work for a TV show, & Sachin Darekar sir was connected with it. It was the first day of the workshop for that show. The workshop ended & I came down, I was standing on the footpath & I was looking for an Auto. Suddenly Sachin sir came there saying he wants to talk to me. He told me he is righting something of this sort & would want me to work in it. And I said why not, surely. He told me that he will contact me later. Many days passed by I forgot about it, & suddenly after around 6 months, I got a call from him saying I am really doing this project! I am very thankful to Sachin Sir, this is my first film & that too on such a big scale & with such fantastic team!

(To the Director) What do you think would the audiences take back with them after watching ‘Party’?

I think they will surely be entertained by the film. But I feel more importantly they would be reminded of their friends & their friends circle. I think beyond the box office success & all If my film would manage to make even a small section of the audiences to make a phone call to their forgotten friends asking them about their whereabouts & how they are, I think all our efforts to make this film will be rewarded!

The post Party Team Interview: “Our Whole Life is a Party” appeared first on MarathiStars.

‘Party‘ releasing on 7th of September is a film about friendship! Set in the less complicated world of 1990s, the new song from the film ‘Kaljat Ghanti Vajte’ explores the feeling of first love & lust at the same time. Many a times we have seen ‘lust’ showcased in films in a very typical sleazy way.

Here the character of Rohit Haldikar who is attracted to an older married woman is not showcased in that age old way. In a way this song celebrates both feelings of love and lust. Lyrics penned by Guru Thakur are very catchy & surely today’s youth will keep singing this lines all the time. Composed by Amitraj & sung by Nihira Joshi & Amitraj himself this song has a very distinct flavor to it.

The film stars Suvrat Joshi, Akshay Tanksale, Prajakta Mali, Stavan Shinde, Rohit Haldikar & Manjiri Pupala in the lead and it captures the love & drama between friends. It also tells the story of friendship in more depth as it also focuses on what happens to friends over a period of time & how their priorities change once they get a job, get married, & have kids.
