Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke

Mother gives birth to a child and does everything for his proper upbringing. There is lot of sacrifice from her side. But, what this child does for his mother, when he grows up ? He may have everything in this world, which is acquired because of his mother, but unless his mother is there to witness his success, his condition is like a beggar. Based on this philosophy, is latest released Marathi film with a suitable title ‘Swami Tinhi Jagacha Aai Vina Bhikari‘. This film is a remake of a popular Tamil film ‘Pichaikkaran‘, and does not deviate from its original style and goes exactly the South way to offer a typical entertainment formula for the lovers of such action films with emotional touch.

On completing his higher education in London, besides singing and dancing with his colleagues over there, Samrat Jaikar( Swwapnil Joshi) , a rich but sensible young man returns to India to join his beloved mother and industrialist Sharda Devi( Kirti Adarkar). The mother hands over the entire business in her son’s name and takes him to the industrial unit, to introduce him to the workers. But, unfortunately she meets with an accident in factory and is moved to the hospital, only to be declared in Coma. Samrat does all types of treatments for the next few months including Ayurveda. But, the mother fails to respond. One day, he comes across a Swami ( Madhav Abhaynakr) who after understanding his problem, questions him, as to what he could do for his mother? On his suggestion, Samrat agrees to turn a beggar for 48 days, by strictly hiding his identity. He takes his close associate (Guru Thakur) into confidence and leaves home under the pretext of business tour.

After Samrat joins a group of beggars around a temple, he experiences a different life. However, in the process, we find him falling in love with a girl Madhu who is into Pizza business. He also encounters all those bad guys one after the other and performs unbelievable fight scenes which match the standard of fight scenes performed by Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan & Ajay Devgn. Thanks to Abbas Ali Mogul for making our Marathi film hero look like a real superman. He has reduced a lot of field work of debutant director Ganesh Acharya. Even two songs in this film have been choreographed very well by Rahul & Sanjeev the choreography assistants of Ganesh Acharya. Mahesh Limaye’s camera work has also captured some action and emotion filled moments very well. So, what is left for director Ganesh Acharya? The audience will have to decide. However, after the end of the film, he performs a dance on Ganapati song, perhaps for the film’s promotion.

The film ‘Bhikari‘ entirely belongs to Marathi’s first superhero Swwapnil Joshi, who has performed his character very sincerely with total commitment. Hindi TV actress Rucha Inamdar offers good support . In the limited but important role of Mother Shardadevi, theatre and TV actress Kirti Adarkar is impressive. Among the character artistes Guru Thakur, Milind Shinde, Sayaji Shinde and many other theatre and television artistes have also done well through their respective roles. Though this film’s story has an emotional touch, the director has used the original South formula to offer an entertainment package for lovers of such type of action films. If you like those action filled south films dubbed in Hindi and shown on various television channels, this film is just for you. But, certainly not for others, who love sensible out of the box Marathi films.

His mere presence during the launch of a film, inspires the artistes and crew members. Amitabh Bachchan still tops the popularity chart in the film industry. On Wednesday evening he was chief guest during the launch of forthcoming Marathi film ‘Bhikari’ to be directed by well known Bollywood choreographer Ganesh Acharya. Produced  by Sharad Shelar, the film stars Marathi super star Swwapnil Joshi and  Rucha Inamdar, who is making her debut in Marathi. This film is a remake of a popular Tamil film ‘Pichaikkaran’, which has also dubbed in Telugu.

Mr. Amitabh Bachchan who is always punctual ,arrived at the scheduled time, showing the way to Marathi film industry, to start  such functions in time. Tiger Shroff, who was also one of the guests of honour, was also invited to the dais to join the ceremony, in which Mr. Bachchan gave the muhurat clap. All those dignitaries present on the dais made short speeches wishing the makers a grand success.  Popular Marathi actress Pooja Sawant anchored the show.

Also present for the function were other important artistes of this film, Sayaji Shinde, Manoj Joshi, Milind Shinde, Guru Thakur, Kirti Adarkar, Sunil Pal & Pradeep kabra. Among those who attended this function to  wish the makers of this film were film makers Ajay Phansekar, Milind Kavde  and others.  Ganesh Acharya who is making his debut as a director in Marathi through this film, was seen in a new look, losing about 30 to 40 kgs of extra weight on his body.

Is Ganesh Acharya being used as a dancing actor in Marathi films ?

Ganesh Acharya, Bedardi Marathi MovieOnly two months ago, when the first look of Marathi film ‘Shinma’ was unveiled, we saw choreographer Ganesh Acharya, not only releasing the music of this film, but we also saw the video clip of the song on him, performing an item number with Gurleen Chopra. Now, when the makers of new Marathi film ‘Bedardi’ unveiled the first look of their film on Monday evening, we once again saw Ganesh Acharya, being used as a dancing artiste, for a Ganapati song in the film.

Actually, using the choreographer in a dance sequence of the song is much easier for the makers of the film, as he is the one, who manages the shoot. So, Ganesh Acharya has set a new trend of being part of such songs. And, if these two songs become hit, then our other heroes will have no other option than just to watch, Ganesh on the screen, performing with their lead actress. Anyway, producer of ‘Bedardi’, Mr. Suresh Bhagat is confident that whatever his director son Sahil has done, is right, to popularize the film’s song, before its release on 30th October 2015.
The young lead pair of the film is played by Omkar Kulkarni & Pooja Narang. Arun Nalawade plays an important role in this film, music of which is composed by Pravin Kunwar.
