After seeing the stories of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj & Sambhaji Maharaj over the years in different serials, plays & films we are now finally getting a chance to know more about the one great mother who created these kings & made them brave from their childhoods! Jijamata! We have seen actresses like Mrunal Kulkarni & Prateeksha Lonkar play her role in different films and shows before but now a brand new serial is all set to commence on Sony Marathi titled ‘Swarajya Janani Jijamata’!

Audiences and the whole entertainment industry is all excited for this new serial & are eager to know which actress will be playing Jijamata in this serial! These are the 5 actresses out of which we think one would be starring in this serial!

Mukta Barve 

Mukta Barve has always proved her credibility as an actress over the years through her diverse performances. For an actress of her calibre returning back to T.V. has to be very special & hence we believe she would be perfect in the role of a strong yet soft hearted Jijamata!

Urmila Kanitkar Kothare

Another solid actress who has taken a break from acting for some time now & hence we feel this would be the right role for her to be back in audience’s eyes!

Sai Tamhankar

A true blue modern day female star! But as we are aware of, Sai’s acting abilities can help her transform into any character that comes her way. And she has a habit of giving her 100% for every character!

Girija Oak Godbole

One of the most underrated actresses working in the Marathi industry. We believe Jijamata’s role could be that one role that would finally give her talent the well deserved due!

Amruta Subhash

From Shwas to Gully Boy this Marathi actress has come a long way! But she first became popular among the audiences through the small screen. We wish she would return to the small screen some day & believe that ‘Swarajya Janani Jijamata’ could just be the right vehicle for that to happen!

Who among these actresses you think would be or should be playing Jijamata’s role in the upcoming Sony Marathi serial? Or do you have any other actresses in mind! Whatever the case let us know through your comments!

Many a times we tend to underrate a song which is popular & became a hugely loved dance number. Avdhoot Gupte’s first big hit song ‘Aika Dajiba’ was one such song. Though it’s a fabulous dance number, but there’s more to it.

In Zee Yuva’s ‘Sargam’ Avdhoot presented the more soothing, deeper version of his hit song ‘Aika Dajiba’. This unplugged version as Avdhoot describes has pathos & an emotion of sadness. And the rendition did express all that. Avdhoot revealed how the lyrics tolled a different story. This song could well be a story of a bar-dancer, Tamasha artist or any girl who wishes to marry.

The first episode went on air 29th March 9pm & the second is slated for 30th March. Don’t miss this episode as Avdhoot will continue presenting his soulful songs. Avdhhoot also revealed his first experience of composing music for a film & how it gave him goosebumps. The film was Bharat Jadhav, Jitendra Joshi & Amruta Khanwilkar starrer ‘Golmaal’ then on Avdhoot became more passionate for composing film music.

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!
