Review
Suyog offers new Marathi play ‘Laginghaai’ on 5th April
Gopal Algeri of ‘Suyog’ group is all set to present his brand new Marathi comedy play ‘Laginghaai’ on 5th April 2015. Written by Adwait Dadarkar , this is the second successful play by the writer-director for Suyog, after achieving success through ‘Goshta tashi Gamtichi’. But, this new play ‘Laginghaai’ has an interesting team of artistes, comprising of Aditi Deshpande, Omkar Raut, Niyati Ghate & King of Comedy Ashok Saraf.
Set on the backdrop of ‘marriage’ the play presents one such humour filled theme, where the widower father and his son are having affairs and are getting ready to marry; but are in an awkward position to share their marriage plans. Father is feeling odd, because he is marrying at old age , while son is trying to hide his affair, as he wants to marry a woman who is elder to him. This being a pure comedy, writer director Advait Dadarkar is confident about its success. The play has music by Abhijit Pendharkar, who makes his entry with Suyog group. Another highlight of this play is that Bollywood art director Shashank Tere has designed the sets of this play.

Veteran Marathi Journalist Isaq Mujawar is no more
On the eve of Jagatik Marathi Din reached a sad news of demise of veteran film critic Isaq Mujawar. A reputed and highly respected film critic, columnist and writer, he was active with his writings even at an advanced age of 80+. Considered to be an encyclopaedia of marathi and hindi film industry, he had more than fifty books to his credit, Eka Songadyachi Batavani, Teen Pidhyancha Aawaj – Lata, Mukhavata, Chitramauli are to name a few. ‘Marathi Cinemancha 100 Varshancha Aadhava’ was his latest contribution.
After starting his career at an early age in 1955, he held various posts in print media publications. His writing on films and film people commanded respect. His passion for ‘film’ writing brought many stalwarts like V Shantaram, Bhalji Pendharkar and Sachin Pilgaonkar, Ashok Saraf, Laxmikant Berde closer to him, in personal life. He was felicitated with Kalamaharshi Baburao Painter Lifetime Achievement Award a couple of years ago and last year he was awarded Chitrabhushan award by Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Chitrapat Mahamandal.
Marathi Movie World joins his family in the time of grief. Rest in peace Isaq Mujawar.

‘Hu Tu Tu’ offers average entertainment

Rating: ★★ ½
Studio / Presenter: Harsh Films, Bhausaheb Bhoir Producer: Harshavardhan Bhoir Director: Kanchan Adhikari Writer: Aashish Pathare Cinematographer: Suresh Deshmane Music: Anand Raj Anand Cast: Ashok Saraf, Varsha Usgaonkar, Jitendra Joshi, Neha Pendse, Hemant Dhome, Manasi Joshi, Anant Jog and Sanjay Khapre, Atul Todankar, Pradeep Patwardhan Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke |
After making three films with Makarand Anaspure, namely ‘Doghaat Tisra Aata Sagla Visara’ and ‘Baap Re Baap Dokyala Taap’ and ‘Tukya Tukavila Nagya Nachvila’, director Kanchan Adhikari has now directed the King of Comedy Ashok Saraf , in her latest released film ‘Hu Tu Tu’, produced by Harshavardhan Bhoir. For this film, she finds the story of Rajan Agarwal and screenplay & dialogues of Ashish Pathre almost going on the lines of some of the Bollywood comedy films.
So, you get the glimpse of Govinda-Chunkeyy Pandey starrer ‘Aankhen’ (except for the double roles), some of Sajnay Dutt-Govinda starrer films and a similar type of sequence on substitute mother from Ajay Deogan-Abhishek Bachchan film ‘Bol Bachchan’. And, if this borrowed recipe of Bollywood is now served to Marathi audience, it is only their choice, whether to appreciate this film or not. But, in the first half of the film, the plot just fails to pick up, as there are no major happenings in the screenplay. It is only at the stroke of interval that you realise that there is something left in the screenplay.
The post interval session and a twist after the item number has generated some interest for traditional comedy lovers, except for the climax, which again goes the Bollywood style of 80s. Music by Anand Raj Anand is average . It is only through the Hindi style item number, he has generated good music. Suresh Deshmane’s photography is neat and clean. But, the film certainly needed more editing from Anand Diwan , especially in the first half and initial part of second half. At a time when Marathi film lovers are used to watching 2 hour length film, the film’s stretch for 2 hours 25 mins, is felt little lengthy.
There is no point in revealing the story of this film, for obvious reason. But, Ashok Saraf who plays the central character in this film, finds one more meaty role in this film too, just following the success of ‘Aandhali Koshimbir’. And, he has played his character of a Businessman Dhanajay Dhanawade very well. In the roles of his two notorious sons Vaibhav & Aishwary, Jitendra Joshi and Hemant Dhome have genuinely tried to create humour in the company of their two girl friends Neha Pendse and Manasi Naik, who are sisters. But, the two girls find limited scope in this film, as the film belongs to Ashok Saraf. Offering a big surprise, Director Kanchan Adhikari finds herself playing the character of a Mother of these two sisters. And, she has done a good job. Playing Ms. Sadhana-a widow, she is also shown as the first love of Ashok Saraf, who in turn is required to marry another woman under strange circumstances.
The inclusion of characters like Hiral Seth and Ankush- the cunning nephew of Sadhana, are just namesake to represent two villains, played successfully by Anant Jog and Sanjay Khapre. Veteran director N.Chandra makes a surprise guest appearance in the initial scene of the film. But, the two renowned artistes-Varsha Usgaonkar and Atul Todankar have brought some life in the concluding part of this film, with their notable performances.
Having done two sensible films like ‘Manini’ and ‘Mokala Shwaas’, there were big hopes from Kanchan Adhikari; but, ‘Hu Tu Tu’ has turned out to be just an average comedy film. Through this film, she has just tried her best to create situation based comedy, with the available script. After all, this is not her own banner film.
