A sports film is a very rare genre in Marathi cinema & even more rare is ‘athletics’ in our films. Actor turned director Milind Shinde directorial ‘Re Raya..Kar Dhava’ is that very rare film releasing in theatres from 20^th July. Presented by ‘Radhe Motion Pictures’ & produced by Ajay Sukheja this film stars Bhushan Pradhan, Sanskruti Balgude, Uday Tikekar, Prakash Dhotre, Vivek Chabukswar & Hansraj Jagtap.

This film tells the story of the journey of rural kids who aspire to be athletes. Actor Bhushan Pradhan plays their coach. Director Milind Shinde believes there’s a natural physical strength in kids born in rural areas they just need the right guidance to achieve their dreams. He also believes that the ‘sports’ genre is difficult to deal with but he has made a very realistic sports film.

Milind Shinde who has also been a well-known actor, says while directing the film, the actor within him was distant from him. He thought of the film from a director’s point of view throughout. He didn’t show his actors how to act by doing it himself. He instead let every actor explore their character on their own & hence their performances turned out very natural & organic, believes Shinde.

Story Outline:

In a picturesque village in Maharashtra lives Raghunath aka Raghya (Vivek Chabukswar), studying in seventh standard. His father (Girish Kulkarni) works with Mumbai police as a constable; he visits his family in between. Shankar aka Sada (Abhishek Bharate) is Raghya’s classmate and close friend. His father is an officer with the Indian Army.

Sada believes his father’s profession is more prestigious than Raghya’s father while Raghya feels vice-versa. Once, their school teacher (Kishore Kadam) hands over a voluntary task of collecting funds for a noble cause to the students. This exercise becomes the turning point in the friendship of Raghya and Sada.

Review:

Kiran Yadnyopavit’s Taryanche Bait was about an obsessive desire of a child and his relation with his father. Although the storyline of his latest offering Salaam is entirely different, it also focuses on a fixated longing of a kid and his relation with someone, this time a friend. The similarities don’t end here as Salaam, just like Taryanche Bait, turns out to be a delightfully moving experience.

The film doesn’t follow a conventional storytelling method. Through the experiences and routine lives of the character, a plot emerges in the background. But this doesn’t test your patience whatsoever. Instead, you are treated to a series of pleasurable moments as the characters go about their business. The beautiful and utterly peaceful locations add to the delight. The effort to pay tribute to army officer and policemen in between is also laudable.

In the latter part of the second half, however, there comes a point when not only is your patience is tested but you are also left a bit confused by the turn of events. Thankfully, all your doubts are cleared by a soul-stirring climax that pleases you no ends! The simple manner in which Yadnyopavit has presented a pleasing message by just using the visual medium proves he is here to stay for long.

The scenic locations appear more beautiful through cinematographer Abhijit Abde’s lens. From Rahul Ranade’s music, the song ‘Timbacktoo’ is worth mentioning. His background score too goes well with the proceedings. But repeating a particular background tune too many times could have been avoided.

The performances of two kids play a large role in creating an impact. Vivek Chabukswar is excellent as Raghya! It is incredible how he can display such varied emotions at such a young age. Abhishek Bharate, as Sada, isn’t far behind either in a supporting role. Girish Kulkarni leaves a mark in a lovable cameo. Kishore Kadam too deserves a similar praise.

Atisha Naik, as Raghya’s mother, and Jyoti Chandekar, as his grandmother, also chip in with good performances. There are some well-enacted cameos also from Pravin Tarde, Shashank Shende, Savita Prabhune, Suhas Shirsat, Sanjay Khapre and few others.

Overall :

Salaam is a gem of a film that deserves a salaam. But it is sad to see such lack of proper hype for such a good effort. Hence, it will struggle at the box office.
