2017 has been a different year! Different because the whole Film industry has seen extreme peak points with success of Bahubali 2 & Dangal! The other film industries with ease proved that their films are full proof from all kinds of social political changes that are happening in our country. Sadly that’s not the case with Marathi cinema. Our films have been affected by these changes for sure. Apart from a few exceptions our films haven’t really worked on the box office. But the better news is that our audiences have still backed few good works that came out in 2017 so far, in the first half.

5. Braveheart

Though Braveheart was not technically perfect, it had a powerful soul in it’s story. The real life inspiring story of Nikhil Karkhanis who fights a deadly disease without losing hope or losing his love for life! The strongest aspect of Braveheart was Sangram Samel’s performance as Nikhil & the chemistry he shared with his father portrayed by Arun Nalawade.

4. Chi Va Chi Sau Ka

Romcom as a genre has been lately been explored too often by Marathi cinema. But Paresh Mokashi and co-writer Madhugandha Kulkarni give this love story a fresh spin by incorporating a unique twist in the tale. Lalit Prabahakar and Mrunmayee Godbole share a warm chemistry that makes their characters and performances even more relatable.

3. Ti Saddhya Kay Karte

Satish Rajwade’s Ti Saddhya Kay Karte gave a solid beginning to 2017 for Marathi cinema. A unique rom com that didn’t follow any set pattern. Ankush Chaudhari’s performance both as an actor & narrator lifted the whole calibre of the film. Though debutants Aarya Ambekar & Abhinay Berde could have been better the film still entertained us thoroughly. Not to forget a refreshing performance by Tejashri Pradhan.

2. Muramba

Another fantastic take on the Rom Com genre. But debutant director Varun Narvekar’s Muramba was beyond just that. It was a family drama set in today’s time, today’s sensibilities. Varun proved that a good script, systematic approach to the craft & using the aesthetics of cinema visually & through music is enough for the audiences to love your film. A huge budget is not a necessity. The film relied equally on the shoulders of the cast Amey Wagh, Mithila Palkar, Sachin Khedekar & Chinmayee Sumeet who gave literally perfect performances.

1. Ringan

The best Marathi film of 2017 so far & probably the best Marathi film in recent years of Marathi cinema. Ringan’s strongest aspect was it’s simplicity. In the plot, in the treatment & in the performances. Shashank Shende & the little Sahil Joshi as father & son showed heartfelt chemistry. Director Makarand Mane’s clarity of his intentions can also be credited in the success of Ringan. The holy city of Pandharpur has a connect with us & Ringan reinstated our belief in it & strengthened the positivity within us.

Ankush Chaudhari, Tejashri Pradhan, Abhinay Berde & Aarya Ambekar starrer ‘Ti Saddhya Kay Karte’ has become the first big Marathi blockbuster of 2017. A rare combination of beautiful story, brilliant performances & mesmerising music has contributed to the success of the film. One of the composers, Nilesh Mohrir’s ‘Parikatha’ song has been loved & appreciated on social media. This song is sung by Kaushik Deshpande. Kaushik has been in the top 7 of singing competitions like ‘Saregamapa Hindi’, ‘Indian Idol’ & ‘Saregamapa Marathi’.

Kaushik has been blessed with a musical background in his family. His mother – Pranita Deshpande used to sing in the popular orchestra ‘Mehendichya Panavar’ & his father – Eknath Deshpande was a musician who played alongside Bollywood stalwarts Shankar Jaikishan, Mohammad Rafi & Manna Dey. Kaushik himself worked as a music arranger for over four years alongside Bollywood composers ‘Pritam’ & ‘Aadesh Shrivastava’.

Kaushik was working on ‘Shortcut’ Marathi film as a music arranger. At one point for the time being, ‘Makhmali’ song was recorded in Kaushik’s voice as a scratch version. But later composer Nilesh Mohrir loved Kaushik’s voice & went ahead with Kaushik as the singer for that song. This is how Kaushik’s career as a playback singer kicked off. And now with ‘Parikatha’ Kaushik Deshpande has made it big! Soon we can listen to more of his hit songs in near future.

Zee Studios’ ‘Ti Saddhya Kay Karte’ has turned out to be 2017’s first big success story for Marathi cinema. The magical romance in this Satish Rajwade directorial seems to have casted it’s spell on the audiences of Maharashtra!

In simply 3 days i.e 6th Jan to 8th Jan ‘Ti Saddhya Kay Karte’ has captured the box office & has collected over 6 crores! This film is a fine case study for filmmakers & producers all around India that if you give good content & promote it efficiently the audience will respond.

Last year Ankush Chaudhari gave us a well-made hit film like ‘Double Seat’. Since then Ankush is consciously making those choices which are both artistically good & appealable to the audience. This film also became popular for two debutants Abhinay Berde & Arya Ambekar, but the audiences have equally loved the little Hruditya & Nirmohee. Tejashri Pradhan was also refreshingly pleasing in this film & we want her do more films now!

The music of ‘Ti Saddhya..’ is making the audience fall in love all over again. The title of this film was considered unusual at first but it started a viral trend on social media where everyone was asking only one question ‘Ti Saddhya Kay Karte’ & now we have the answer!

Satish Rajwade is one of the new breed of Marathi directors who is known for his hit films like ‘Mumbai Pune Mumbai-1 and 2’, etc and now his most eagerly awaited film ‘Ti Sadhya Kaay Karte’ is up for release and we spoke to him about this film and this is what he has to tell us.

How did you get the subject of ‘Ti Sadhya Kaay Karte’?
Some of it is based on my own experiences and some what I have observed from other people like my friends and other sources and this is how I wrote the story of the film and it is very real and without anything filmy.

What is the film all about?
It is about love that happens to us in all stages of life, be it in childhood or adolescence or adulthood but the fact is that we can’t leave our childhood love behind and we always remember it or cherish it and there is always a curiosity factor about our childhood love which always lingers on. . The film also depicts what really goes out at the end when the two lead actors separate the two and the way events transpires between the two.

You are introducing Laxmikant Berde’s son Akshay in the film?
Yes. But I have not cast him for he being just Laxmikant Berde’s son but also because after he gave an audition , I thought he fitted the bill for the role and he agreed to do my film and he has suited the role like a glove. Also Ankush Chodhari has been just right for the character in the film and also singing star Aarya Ambekar is also perfect for her character in the film. Tejashri Pradhan also plays an important role in the film.

Where have you shot the film?
The film has been shot entirely in Mumbai and Pune locales.

What about the promotions of the film?
Zee Talkies and Nikhil Sane and producer Arvind Jog are looking about the promotions of the film.

And the music?
It has a wonderful score by Nilesh Mohrir and Vishwajeet Joshi.

Ti Sadhya Kay Karte Marathi Movie Review :

First things first, ‘Ti Saddhya Kay Karte’ is to Marathi Cinema what ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ was to Hollywood! Confused? Well it’s about using voice-over narrations! It’s not the first time that a Marathi film is using voice-over narration from the lead character, but it never made so much sense & added so much to the film! ‘Anurag’ voiced & played by the smashing Ankush Chaudhari justifies why this film is unusually titled ‘Ti Saddhya Kay Karte’. Yes this film is all about the “guy” & avoids perspectives from any other character in the film.

The first 15-20 minutes that are based on Anurag’s childhood are simply magical. Rajwade lingers on the little details which other films in Marathi before never paid heed to. Especially 90s kids will experience a euphoric wave of nostalgia in these 15-20 minutes. What was it like to fall in love? What was it like to compete for it? & what was it like to feel possessive about it & finally taking it for granted! Comparatively the rest of the film never matches this terrific start.

The weakest link of ‘Ti Saddhya..’ are both the debutants Arya Ambekar & Abhinay Berde. From overall body language to dialogue delivery they struggle, especially the singer-turned-actress. However the director doesn’t let them spoil the film except for one important scene. That important scene is supposedly the only scene in the film that creates a conflict. The rest of the film doesn’t really aspire for any conflict of sort but manages to please us. Yes the patent ‘light-hearted’ feel is ever present in this Rajwade film too.

Another flaw that hurts the film a bit is the stark differences in Anurag’s & Tanvi’s characters. Both these characters are portrayed by three different actors respectively representing three different stages of their lives. Unfortunately nothing in the way they react or behave or even look suggest us that they are the same person. The overall look of these actors too stays superficial & daily-soap like, a flaw that is ever present in almost all of Rajwade’s films. But the overall point that it makes & the content of this film makes us ignore most of these flaws.

This film provides a refreshing take on lost love. Like many Bollywood films it equates friendship with love, but in a rather complex way. There is no big suspense as such but we prefer not to talk about the ‘twist’ in this film. Ankush is smooth & extremely comfortable playing ‘Anurag’, his voiceover is beautifully crisp & adds flavor to otherwise average scenes, but the voiceover is masterfully avoided in some scenes too! Lengthwise Tejashri Pradhan has a smaller role but it’s her best performance on the silver screen by a distance. Her deliberate restrained approach to her performance makes sense & adds depth to her character. The little kids Hruditya & Nirmohee are perfectly casted & have given beautiful performances, much better than their teenage versions! The music is in safe hands & is hummable.

The best thing about ‘Ti Saddhya..’ is its uncertain nature. There is no formula to this film. It has its own little journey of sorts. For some audience this can be a turn-off as they could not relate it to their definition of ‘romance’ or ‘entertainment’. But for those who are patient & receptive this film will have a soothing effect. The final little conversation between ‘Anurag’ & ‘Tanvi’ simplifies many aspects about love, friendship & the idea of togetherness. We know it, it’s called cinematic liberty! It might not happen in real life, but that’s one of the reasons why films are made!

Along with Satish Rajwade this film also reflects the vision of Manaswini Lata Ravindra, the screenplay & dialogue writer. She deserves a fair share of credit for this film. We want her to write in the mainstream more regularly now!

Overall:

Watching ‘Ti Saddhya Kay Karte’ is a beautiful way to start your new year! Watch it with your loved ones. You might share few sweet memories about each other post the film!

Directed by Satish Rajwade & starring an exciting cast of Ankush Chaudhari, Tejashri Pradhan & debutants Abhinay Berde & Arya Ambekar. The songs & theater of ‘Ti Saddhya Kay Karte’ suggested us that this is going to be a beautiful refreshing romantic film about first love.

But now after watching the trailer of this film, we feel it’s more than just that. There’s an exciting touch of realism to the grown up characters of Anurag & Tanvi! They seem to represent today’s generation without any filmy filter. We are also hinted through this trailer that these characters have a complex history together when they were teenagers.

At the end of the trailer we are treated by another exciting surprise! Urmila Kanitkar-Kothare makes an appearance as supposedly Ankush’s better half in this film! So this isn’t just a simple love story now it has depth to it & we are even more excited to explore this twist in the cinema halls now, aren’t we?

‘Ti Saddhya Kay Karte?’ is a question a person ends up asking one of his old friends who knew her/him! Yes that’s how personal this film promises to be. At some point all of us have fallen in love during our childhood days. And after a point we grew up, but we could never forget that special person. We are always intrigued about that person & their whereabouts now!

Zee Studios alongside Asankhya Productions brings to us the first big Marathi release of 2017! ‘Ti Saddhya Kay Karte’ directed by Satish Rajwade & written by Manswini Lata Ravindra starring a brigade of exciting actors from Ankush Chaudhari & Tejashri Pradhan to debutants Abhinay Berde & singer turned actress Arya Ambekar! The film also stars Sukanya Mone, Sanjay Mone, Tushar Dalvi & child artists Hruditya Rajwade & Nirmohi Agnihotri!

It’s a love story that is designed in three stages! The first is the childhood phase, the second: teenage & the third belonging to grown-ups. So we will experience three stages of life of these two main characters; Anurag & Tanvi! Anurag is played by Hruditya (child), Abhinay (teenage) & Ankush (adult) whereas Nirmohi (child), Arya (teenage) & Tejashri (adult) together will portray Tanvi! This whole idea of a three stage love story is so refreshing & unique.

The songs of ‘Ti Saddhya Kay Karte’ have already garnered lot of love from the audience & they are composed by Nilesh Moharair, Avinash-Vishwajit & Mandar Apte. Singers like Rohit Raut, Hrishikesh Ranade, Hrudit Patankar & Arya Ambekar herself have sung these songs. ‘Ti Saddhya Kay Karte’ releases on 6th Jan 2017 & it’s all set to be the first musical hit blockbuster for Marathi cinema in 2017!
