Most awaited marathi film #Shegadi Coming soon.

Fandry

A great film is often remembered by its final shot, as every great filmmaker from Orson Welles to Christopher Nolan has known and demonstrated only too well. Fandry, Nagraj Manjule’s charming debut feature, follows the same recipe, certifying the National-Award-winning Marathi short filmmaker and poet as an auteur to watch out for. A charming love story set against the backdrop of a poor village in arid Maharashtra, this is a film that builds up to its final shot – destined to be iconic – with little manipulation or foreboding.

After all, it arrived at the 15th Mumbai Film Festival with positive-yet-restrained buzz (read: you could get into a screening without having made a reservation) and emerged triumphant, by coming second in the international competition. Set in Akolner, a tiny village near Ahmednagar, Fandry portrays the dichotomous rural India of today, where a public toilet is a luxury but a touch-screen Android phone is almost ubiquitous. Jabya (Somnath Avghade), the film’s dark-skinned protagonist, is an awkward yet winsome teenager from a Dalit family who lives in a shack at the fringes of the village. He has a crush on Shalu, a classmate, who hails from an upper caste and therefore more well-to-do family. She is, of course, fair-skinned. The differences in their background and colour of skin are all-important, as they are anywhere in India even today. Jabya is besotted by Shalu. He follows her around. He dreams of buying fancy clothes that are garish by more urbane standards, but aesthetically pleasing in a village where everything from clothes to surroundings are drab. He writes letters to her confessing his love for her. However, the barriers – both social and sexual – in his village are so strong that he probably wouldn’t be able to approach her even if he weren’t shy. When Jabya isn’t daydreaming about her or at school, he’s out with his best friend trying to capture an elusive long-tailed sparrow with a slingshot. The film also tells us about his family, who eke out a living through basket-weaving and the unpleasant business of cleaning, rescuing and chasing away the many wild pigs living in the village. (Incidentally, 'fandry' means pig.) Unlike Jabya, his father Kachrya (Kishore Kadam, the only recognisable actor in the film) is worried about things that are far less trivial, such as dowry and wedding expenses for his youngest daughter. This is as much a film about coming to terms with one’s identity as it is about young love. Jabya is uncomfortable with the social status he has inherited and is always close to some sort of breaking point, knowing that the odds aren't in his favour. When his cycle gets crushed by a callous truck driver, during an excursion selling ice-lollies in order to earn some cash, he wails as though he’s lost a limb. When his father orders him to stop dancing at the village fair (his attempt at impressing Shalu), he stands in the midst of a group of dancers, tears streaming down his cheek. The long-tailed sparrow he chases is a symbol of his desire to rise above his circumstances, not least because some amount of witchcraft with it will get him closer to Shalu, according to the local cycle-shop owner/drunk (played by Manjule himself). What elevates Fandry over many well-meaning but bland issue-based films is the superlative acting. Each and every actor in this film – most of them non-actors – is fabulous and perfectly cast. Avghade is an irresistibly likable mixture of fiery and vulnerable; his raspy voice is indicative of his adolescence, while his occasional toothy grin is a reminder of how innocent he still is. The film also benefits from technical polish – the cinematography, background score and editing are all top-notch. The film also stands out because of its final 15 minutes – the lone set-piece that utilises great hand-held camerawork and effective VFX, which becomes this village’s version of an IPL match. In hindsight, one realises that the story was probably written after this sequence. However, Manjule’s writing is so watertight that every occurrence in the screenplay feels natural. Ultimately,Fandry’s greatest victory is that it flows with the same languid pace one would expect of village life, despite its hardships, and, by putting the viewer in Jabya’s shoes, Manjule let you live in his world for a while.

1909 Review ***

Review: The film is set during the pre-independence era when a handful of like-minded men come together to devise a solution to bring an end to the suppression of rights by Britishers. The spirit of revolutionaries and freedom fighters, and their willingness to go to any extent is what the movie is all about.

Anant Kanhere ( Akshay Shimpi) is a young lad from a small village in Konkan who goes to Aurangabad to pursue studies. Influenced by Lokmanya Tilak and Vinayak Savarkar's ideologies, Anant decides to contribute to the freedom struggle. Meanwhile in Nashik, Krushnaji Karve ( Shrikant Bhide) and his aides are preparing for an armed rebellion, but it is their mentor Ganesh Savarkar who advices them to wait for the right moment to strike. The root cause of everyone's anger is the collector of Nashik, Officer Jackson who has invited the wrath of people through his actions. And when he orders the arrest of Ganesh, Krushnaji and his group including Anant get into motion to execute Jackson's assassination.

In a movie set in the year 1909, director Akshay Shimpi's excels in capturing the period perfectly through the lens. He manages to convey the message of patriotism and one can identify with the characters' anger and urge to make things right. What begins as a plan of revenge soon turns into a mission for the young revolutionaries from Maharashtra.

The film marks the foray of theatre artists Shrikant, Akshay and Shrinivas Joshi into cinema and they perform with great ease and exceed in their respective roles. Akshay as the gritty Anant and Shrikant as the balanced Krushnaji bring authenticity to their characters.

The pace of the narrative gets sloppy at times and there are a few scenes that could have been done away with. But overall, '1909' is a good film with a subject that has not been touched often in the Marathi film industry.

 

Time Pass Ratting *****

Nothing surpasses the feeling of falling in love for the first time. If you’re lucky enough, the person you love also falls in love with you. You’re probably all of 15 years when love happens for the first time and you’re elated. While this is the best time of your life and while you think that all’s well in paradise, it isn’t really the case. The world makes sure to find faults with you and your relationship. And age isn’t really on your side to help you deal with such unknown societal pressure and stick with your decision at the same time. In the words of a character from the film, "Premaat padtana, asach padta.(When you fall in love, you have to keep taking a beating". 

 

After delivering three successful films namely Natrang, Balgandharva and Balak Palak, Ravi Jadhav brings to us another film tailor-made for the bubble gum-chewing, facebook-ing and time-passing Generation Y. The film explores first love at its innocent best. So what is so novel about that you ask, as such things have been done several times in the past. First love, crazy love, mad love, love against all odds are things that have been dealt with time and again. But what makes TP (Timepass) special is the fact that it does all this with a great sense of humor, yet without belittling the whole affair.

TP is the story of Dagdu and Prajakta. Dagdu is a newspaper boy, his father is an auto-rickshaw driver. For Dagdu, life is all about fun and more fun. According to his friends, what is life without a little TP (Timepass)? By ‘timepass’ they mean, a non-serious ‘love’ relationship. 

Prajakta, an obedient girl, comes from a well-educated and cultured family that is strikingly opposite to Dagdu’s. 

All is well, until one day, Dagdu decides to make Prajakta his ‘timepass’. He does everything in his capability to woo her, but instead, he falls head over heels in love with her, and ends up doing anything but TP (Timepass). Despite his lowly stature in society, Prajakta too, falls in love with him and his carefree attitude. 

However, what begins as a mere ‘timepass’ between the two, changes their life in a way that they never expected. This is something that will interest audiences the most. Most people who fall in love at a young age, have no clue about what they’re getting into. And this is exactly what happens in the case of Dagdu and Prajakta.

All actors in the film and especially Ketaki Mategaonkar and Prathamesh Parab who play Prajakta and Dagdu respectively, have done a commendable job. The way both actors emote various emotions right from excitement to anxiety is noteworthy. Prathamesh and Ketaki share screenspace for the first time and look cute together. The film also stars popular artists like Vaibhav Mangale, Bhalchandra Kadam, Urmila Kanitkar, Meghana Erande, Uday Sabnis, Supriya Pathare, Bhushan Pradhan with Adesh Bandekar and Shivani Dandekar in cameo roles.

The screenplay and dialogues of the film penned down by Priyadarshan Jadhav and Ravi Jadhav, are catchy and gripping, "Aai-Baba an Sai babanchi shapathth" (swear on my parents and Sai Baba), literally.

Shibani Dandekar, adds ‘tadka’ to Ravi Jadhav’s film by dancing to a popular Koli folk song by folk artist Reshma Sonavane. 

All in all, this is one ‘timepass’ movie that you must watch

Plot

The film opens with grandma Shirin (Sai Tamhankar) with a streak of grey accompanying grandpa Pritam (Sushant Shelar) to Pune, grandchildren in tow. The story traces itself back to presumably the late 70s (nothing establishes the exact era except the bell-bottom pants on the gentlemen and the polka dotted dresses and ‘Asha Parekh’ salwar kameezes on the ladies). Nothing is spelt out, but each character and its relevance in the plot is carefully unveiled through the narrative which revolves around Shreyas Talwalkar (Swapnil Joshi) is thrown into college life in Pune on his mother’s insistence. Under circumstances which are reminiscent of college life in the Hindi cinema of the 80s, Shreyas makes friends with DSP aka Digya (Ankush Choudhary) and his Katta gang. A do-gooder standing tall for friendships in the face of a creepy Saai (Jitendra Joshi), Shreyas becomes the voice of reason for the rustic gang. While he finds himself attracted to Shirin but Meenu (Urmila Kanetkar) get attracted to shreyas which creates a love triangle. Shirin is a student of Medical college and sister of pritam. They are children of an MLA from Kolhapur, who hates shirin, his own daughter. Shreyas accepts Meenu's proposal out of spite for shirin(as she repeatedly turns down his advances), but is not sure about their future relationship. Saai fixes his marriage with shirin against her wish. Meenu later understands that Shreyas is deeply in love with Shirin. On Saai-Shirin's wedding day, Shreyas and his friends fight with Saai's gang and finally Shirin gets married to Shreyas. But she is aware of Shreyas is a patient of a deadly disease [probably cancer?] and has only few months of life in his hands. They are about to enter parenthood. The film ends with a great touching scene where all the friends, now in their early 50's, meet at the same katta of their college on Shreyas's birthday and express their feelings for him.^[2]
