Ever since Ravi Jadhav’s ‘Rampaat‘ was announced the audiences where eagerly awaiting to know more about the film. Like many times before Ravi Jadhav has again collaborated with Zee Studios for this film. After giving countless hits like the ‘Timepass series, Balak Palak, & Natrang Ravi Jadhav & Zee have again come together to entertain us.

The teaser of the film is out now and the film feels like a total masala entertainer which is about dance! And of course there also seems to be a love angle! The actors who are playing these characters have been kept a secret in this teaser as we can only see their backside! The song used in the teaser is like a rap song which too is new for Marathi cinema!

Ravi Jadhav has both kinds of films, one which are extremely socially relevant & have moral statement to make like ‘Nude‘ & ‘Mitra’ while he as also made pure entertainers & sometimes he has married both the styles in films like ‘Balak Palak’ & ‘Natrang’! With ‘Rampaat‘ it would be interesting to see which side does Ravi Jadhav turn to! No matter where he turns we are sure he would succeed in it!

Zee Studio has further solidified its reputation as a studio that not only belts out one massive hit film after another but also supports meaningful and artistic ventures like its latest movie Nude. The Ravi Jadhav film, which has already won high praise in India, has now even bagged top honors at the prestigious New York Indian Film Festival by bagging the Best Film and Best Actress (Kalyanee Mulay) there.

Kalyanee Mulay’s performance as the mother who poses as a nude model for students of an art college, to fund her son’s education has been universally acclaimed. Critics have also praised the film’s message of giving dignity to the profession of nude modeling. The breathtaking visuals, mellifluous background score and performances by the rest of the cast are the other aspects for which the film received applause. And to top it all, Nude is also a success at the box office.

On this occasion, a rather pleased and satisfied business head of Zee Studios, Mangesh Kulkarni, said,“We are ecstatic with the kind of response our film Nude got to post it’s screening at NYIFF and especially proud for it to have bagged both Best Film and Best Actress awards. The award does not belong only to Nude but to everyone who dares to tell extraordinary stories through cinema”.

Director Ravi Jadhav, who was elated on winning the two big awards, said, “The film has always stood tall against all odds and there is a remarkably rugged renaissance across Marathi cinema. It is a triumph of an art”.

Ravi Jadhav is one of the most influential personalities in Marathi cinema in recent times. He has achieved both critical & commercial success. With ‘Banjo’ Ravi Jadhav made his debut in Hindi cinema. However, he hasn’t stopped making Marathi films! ‘Nude’ is a film that has been hugely awaited which is also directed by Ravi Jadhav.

But this Diwali Ravi Jadhav gave us a huge surprise by revealing the logo & title of his upcoming Marathi film ‘Rampaat’. Moreover, this film is Ravi’s (Athaansh Communications) joint venture with Zee Studios.

After giving us ‘BP’, ‘TP’ & ‘TP 2’, Rampaat seems like another blockbuster entertainer by Ravi Jadhav. Another important aspect of Ravi Jadhav’s films is the marketing strategy, which also includes little things like logos, posters, teasers, etc. It would be exciting to see what exactly is ‘Rampat’ & what will be the star cast of the film.

Chi Ka Va Sau Ka Marathi Movie Review :

After narrating stories of human triumph in Harishchandrachi Factory and Elizabeth Ekadashi, director Paresh Mokashi attempts a rather quirky love story with his latest Chi. Ka Va Sou. Ka.

Savitri a.k.a Savi (Mrunmayee Godbole), a veterinary doctor and a staunch vegetarian (or ‘vegan’ as she calls herself in the film) and Satyaprakash a.ka. Satya(Lalit Prabhakar), an electrical engineer and an obsessed water conservationist are forced to marry each other by their parents. However, Savitri and Satyaprakash (a nod to the mythical pair of Satyawan and Savitri) are apprehensive about the same and unanimously take a decision, which leads to chaos among their families.

Romcom as a genre has been lately been explored too often by Marathi cinema. Be it adolescent love stories or tales that deal with Gen Y couples, many recent films have dealt with the same. Paresh Mokashi and co-writer Madhugandha Kulkarni give this love story a fresh spin by incorporating a unique twist in the tale. The twist comes in form of the condition put forth by Savi before she gives her to marrying Satya and is best left to be discovered by audiences.

The quirks of the lead characters and the apprehensions of their parents towards their terms help to add some interesting twists to the story. Mokashi and Kulkarni also use these quirks to take the story forward. Satya is omnipresent on social media but an introvert in real life. Savi is an individual striving for a cause and unable to bear any harm towards animals. Satyaprakash thrives on non vegetarian food, while Savitri despises those who consume it.  

The makers waste no time in setting up the story and introducing us to the family members and friends of the lead actors who are equally loony. Among these, the characters that deserve a mention are Satyaprakash’s grandmom (Jyoti Subhash) who is going around with her next door neighbour (Satish Alekar), Savitri’s heavily pregnant sister (Sharmishtha Raut) who is understandably impatient and her overactive younger brother (Pushkar Lonarkar)adding to the chaos. And there’s also the marriage registrar employee (Bharat Ganeshpure) who doubles up as the narrator of the film.

The initial meeting between Satya and Savi’s families, the latter’s announcement of the dumbfounding condition to test their compatibility are much in sync with the film’s quirky tone. Yet these moments keep you glued to the seats thanks to the various laugh out loud moments. A standout scene is the one in which Satyaprakash and Savitri’s parents bond and pray for the alliance to not fruition. It works as a complete contrast to the usual matchmaking process where parents hope and do their best to make the twain meet.

A relationship can be successful when the partners accept each other’s weaknesses and help to overcome it. Mokashi dwells on this aspect as the lead characters help each other to fight the obstacles prevailing in their respective lives. Savi helps Satya to get the much needed for his solar project, while he helps her to raise funds for her hospital through social media.

But there are times when one gets the impression that the makers are trying too hard to be funny and quirky. Subsequently, certain scenes come across as loud and so do the characters that are a part of it. The conflict between Satyaprakash and Savitri lacks heft and could have been handled in a better way.

Lalit Prabahakar and Mrunmayee Godbole share a warm chemistry that makes their characters and performances even more relatable. The rest of the cast members also do a fine job though they appear loud at certain places

Despite its shortcomings, Chi Ka Va Sau Ka has several enjoyable and laugh out loud moments. If you are in the mood for some laughs and need to get over your everyday blues, then do give it a try.

Mrinmayee Godble was earlier seen in critically acclaimed Vees Mhanje Vees and Rajwade and Sons. Her next film “Chi va Chi Sau Ka” will be releasing this Friday. The Paresh Mokashi directed light hearted film has already created buzz as it marks the debut of Television heart-throb Lalit Prabhakar.

Tell us about your experience of working with Lalit?

We didn’t know each other before we started working for this film. As I am not an ardent fan of Marathi serials, I haven’t followed his work on the television. But I knew that he is a very popular household name due to his TV series. We both belong to theatre basically and we are passionate about acting.  Though this is Lalit’s first film, he is more experienced than me in front of camera. Because of his day today shooting for a TV serial he has great camera presence and understanding of the medium. This made very easy for him to adjust on the sets. Lalit motivated me and encouraged me for better work. A costar has to be very supportive, as I believe acting is not just saying your line and be done with it, but it is primarily reacting to what person in front of you is saying.

Tell us about your role and also how did you prepare for it.

This is a romcom- a comedy with a romantic angle. I am playing role of Savitri, she is a veterinary doctor and this is not just a profession for her. By nature, she is an animal lover and Lalit plays role of an environmentalist. Both of our characters have very strong principles which will create some unimaginable situations for us as well as for our families.

Interestingly, I and Lalit both are Kung Fu players in the film. Lalit has been learning this type of martial arts since sometime. But I have to learn Kung Fu for this film. As I was a national level basket ballplayer and also done Kalaripayettu ( Kerali martial Arts) so it became very easy for me to follow. Lalit and I had taken out Kung Fu sessions together where Paresh (director) and Madhugandha (writer) also joined us. This it worked as an ice breaker for all of us. As we started practicing together, we also get to know about the film and our characters. It was more like workshop and certain amount of chemistry was built. We had lots of fun on the sets, but at the same time we all were very professional and did out homework required for the shoot.

Paresh and Madhugandha have consistently delivered us good content driven cinema with a hard hitting message. How was your experience?

In my earlier film, Vees Mhanaje Vees, Madhugandha played a very small role and we met each other during the shoot. So far I have done the films which are not just about the entertainment but also has a very strong message which I would like to give out personally as well. Rajwade spoke about youth and its problems. Vees Mhanje Vees was about education scenario in rural Maharashtra. Chi vs Chi Sau Ka talks about animal welfare and environment, but this is not a very prechy film. The core of the film carries a message but it is wrapped in a complete entertainment package.

Paresh is a great director as he understands what an actor wants and actors are really vulnerable, and emotional. It is very imp for the director to be more compassionate, patient and clear in the communication. It made things a lot easier. He has very nice great healthy one -on-one relationship with all of the cast members. I have a great respect for him, but for me he is a great friend and very approachable for an actor.

Are you an animal lover in your real life as well?

Oh yes, I have two dogs at my Pune home. They are called Cyrus and Munshi. I have also adopted a dog at Mumbai residence.. He is very curious by nature so we have named him Sherlock. I have always been fond of animals. We shot at an actual animal rescue shelter in Mumbai. This was a great learning experience for me. I spent long time during shoot at this shelter, and observe how the animals are rescued, treated and relocated. I learnt a great deal about the animals and the cruelty of the human beings. This will help me in the future whenever I will see an animal torture.

Tell us about your future projects.

I am doing a bilingual film in Hindi and English directed by Kranti Kanade. His film revolves around a prestigious drama competition- Purushottam Karandak in Pune. I am looking forward for this film as the subject very close to me. I have also done a very small part in Akshay Kumar starrer Batman. Also, in theatre I am performing three plays. One is with Paresh Rawal called Dear Father (in Hindi and Gujrati) and another is an experimental play in Marathi with Asakt Kalamanch, a Pune based group. I am also doing a Hindi play based on the subject of Palestine. As the film will be releasing this weekend, I will resume my theatre work very soon.

Mrinmayee, Thanks for sharing us your thoughts about the film.  We wish you a best luck for the release of the film.
