Produced by Meghna Caculo under Srihit Production’s, the film has been picturised at Goa.

Guru-Pournima is a love story of a Creative Director- Guru and a struggling actress Pournima, who is ambitious and leaves her parents and family, to pursue her acting career. In this film, Sai Tamhankar has played a double role, that of Guru’s wife and daughter .

The film begins with the flashback of Guru’s( Upendra Limaye), love story which happens twenty years back. After 20 years , Guru is shown sitting on tha college platform, refreshing his sweet memories. Guru who was in the past, an aspiring director, makes a telefilm. It is during this period Guru and Pournima’s (Sai Tamhankar) love story begins and grows . Her parents do not allow her to work in the film and she disobeys them and leaves home. Then, Guru and his mother ask her to stay with them. Guru’s mother ( Sulabha Arya ) and his friend Prasad , suggest them to get married . two years later, when Pournima is at the peak of her career, Guru and his mother ask Pournima to consider having a baby, but she refuses. After being convinced by Guru, she is then ready to have a baby. At the same time, she gets an offer from Hollywood film maker, but she has to leave the offer, due to her pregnancy. After delivering the baby, she leaves her family for her career and struggles a lot for her ambition.

Sai Tamhankar Upendra In Guru Pournima

After 20 years, when Guru’s daughter Akanksha ( Sai Tamhankar in double role ), celebrates her 20th birthday and her Aajji, (grandmother) tells her about her parents; Akanksha decides to bring them together. She requests her father to cast her as a co-actress, along with Pournima, in the new ad film, being made by Guru. When Pournima comes to know that her daughter is her co-artist in this ad film, she walks out of the film. How the daughter finally brings the family together, is to be seen in the concluding part of the film.

Sai and Upendra have for the first time come together and there is a good chemistry between them. The whole film has been shot in Panjim, Goa. Nice locations, good script by Swapnil Gangurde , a melodius song ‘Aikavi Watate’ sung by Swapnil Bandodkar and Bela Shende and above all, the excellent acting performances of Sai Tamhankar, Upendra Limaye and Sulabha Arya, are the plus points of the film.

‘Guru Pournima’ is a simple and lovable love story. A person of any age can enjoy this movie.

‘Bharatiya’ has a strong and timely message for the Government

Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke

At a time, when we understand that our prime Minister is likely to announce free mobile sets to all those living below poverty line in this country; the release of latest Marathi film ‘Bharatiya’ is very timely, for the Government to rethink about their controversial decision. The film is produced by Abhijit Gholap( the maker of ‘Deool’) who won the national award last year. Now, his new film ‘Bharatiya’ sends across a strong message to the Central government, for their apathy to understand the real problems of rural poor, at the grass root level.

As we all know, some of the villages in India, do not have water, electricity and other amenities essential for living. How can earnings of Rs. 32 a day by a person, be treated as above poverty line? Can a PM himself live in a village and manage his day within this amount? There are no toilets for these people, but, there are mobiles. Why the villages on the borders of two states receive ill treatment ? Are they treated as Indians? What if they revolt against the system ? All such relevant issues are raised by this sensible film.

Kuldeep Pawar In Bharatiya

Directed by Girish Mohite, the film is set on the backdrop of a small village located on the border of Maharashtra and Karnataka. It talks about the neglect by two state Governments towards this village called Adnida. When time comes to prove the property rights of a family, it is observed that the village is neither under the jurisdiction of Maharashtra nor Karnataka. The issue is flared up, as a foreign returned youngster, who is in search of his ancestral rights over a property, raises his voice against the attitude of both the state Governments and central Government towards the village.
A Gypsy who is a fortune teller( Makarand Anaspure) , who wanders along with his Bull from village to village, is familiar with the miserable condition of this village. He predicts that a young man around 30, would come to this village and there will be a change with revolution. Soon, we find Abhay Sarpotdar ( Subodh Bhave) a protagonist in this film, coming to this village to trace the existence of his ancestral house in the village.

He finds that the Village head, Mr. Sarpotdar( Dr. Mohan Agashe) with his family and young daughter Sugandha( Meeta Savarkar) have occupied the big house claiming that it belongs to his ancestors. He claims the rights of the property, since living there for several years. On the suggestion of his daughter, he however allows the young man to stay in their house, till he proves his legal right over the property. Abhay moves from pillar to post with the help of village talathi to acquire the 7/12 ownership document. But, he finds that the village is neither in the jurisdiction of Maharashtra nor Karnataka. Even the respective states politicians refuse to offer any help, realizing that the village does not come under their constituency.

Taking the Head of the village and aspiring opposition politician Lote Patil ( Kuldeep Pawar) into confidence; Abhay plans a move to invite the attention of the Central Government. In the meanwhile, he traces a hidden treasure in the basement of the house, which is under lock and key for ages. Looking at the attitude of Government to give recognition to their village, Abhay goes on to declare Adnida as a separate country and appoints Sr. Sarpotdar as the Caretaker President, till the constitution is drafted. The issue flares up with the Central Government sending para military forces and seals the borders of the village. Media arrives and it becomes an international news, to invite the attention of the UN. Abhay plays his cards well, to bow down the prime Minister’s office for talks with them at their village. How he succeeds in his mission, the film’s climax is an answer.

Jitendra Joshi In  Bharatiya
Director Girish Mohite has handled this sensible script and screenplay of Aniruddha Potdar very well, with the help of humour filled dialogues of Sanjay Pawar, to make this film entertaining besides passing a strong timely message to the Government. In the role of a wandering fortune teller, Makarand Anaspure plays the Narrator. He very well suits in that role. As a protagonist, Subodh Bhave the lead hero has given a remarkable performance. He is simply superb in the climax scene. Meeta Savarkar( playing the Village head’s daughter) has limited scope, but her pairing with the hero goes well. Playing two rival opponents, both Dr. Mohan Agashe and Kuldeep Pawar are very impressive. Jitendra Joshi playing the role of Shripati(Kuldeep Pawar’s son) has timed very well with his comedy scenes with his father and others. Tejashree Khele, playing the daughter of the only Grocery shop owner in the village, plays the typical village girl with ease, displaying her skills well.

The other artistes comprising of Ujwala Jog (as Lote Patil’s wife), Shubhangi Latkar ( as hero’s mother), Sushant Shelar as Politician, Hrishikesh Joshi as Village Talathi, Pradeep Velankar as CM of Maharashtra, Manoj Joshi as Prime Minister , Suhas Shirsat and the producer Abhijit Gholap playing (as PMO’s representative in the last scene) have supported well, displaying good team work. In the post interval session, the film goes almost on a mockery of the existing system and therefore, the incidences like Cell phone jamming, the hero declaring aid from a neighboring country etc. could be taken in a lighter sense. Ajay Atul’s music is good, with one song by Kunal Ganjawala, in post interval session, inviting special attention. Lyrics by Guru Thakur and Sandeep Khare are well written to suit the screenplay. The film is a good attempt to offer wholesome entertainment with a strong timely message.

‘Bharatiya’ is entertaining but thought provoking film – Girish Mohite

Girish

Director Girish Mohite, who began his innings as a director with a comedy film ‘Hi Porgi Konachi’ in 2006 has directed 6 films so far. His last film ‘Pratibimb’ was a suspense drama. But, now he offers a social comedy ‘Bharatiya’ for producer Abhijit Gholap, whose debut film ‘Deool’ has won the prestigious national award besides winning many popular awards last year.

‘Bharatiya’ is all set to release this Friday, with big hopes, as the film is produced by the national award winning Producer. But, Girish is confident about the film’s success, as the entire team has worked very hard. “We are offering a good script which is combined with entertainment, besides making people think at the end of this film.” he said, while speaking to MarathiMovieworld.com

Mr. Abhijit Gholap also looked happy, for the manner in which the film is praised by the critics, who saw the film. When asked whether he had planned his next production, he said that he was still in the process of finalizing the script for the same. One thing is sure that ‘Bharatiya’ has raised hopes of Marathi film lovers. So, let us wait and see, how the audience would respond to this film.

‘Be Dune Sade Chaar’- A Funny adult comedy !

Be Dune Sade Char Poster
Rating: na
Presenter: Video Place Production
Producer: Nanubhai Jaisinghani
Director: Girish Mohite
Story: Aniruddha Potdar, Abhay Darvane
Music: Anand Menon, Ajit Parab
Cast: Mohan Joshi, Atul Parchure, Sanjay Narvekar, Vandana Gupte, Sai Tamhankar
Movie Review by: Sandeep Hattangadi

Nanubhai Jaisinghani (Video Palace) is a well known producer in Marathi(VCD’s and DVD’s and his first film production ‘Be Dune Saade Chaar’ is a lavish comedy with great production values.

The film revolves around Anant Kitturkar (Mohan Joshi) who leads a double marital life with two wives and children in two different cities. The first one is Manorama(Vandana Gupte) with daughter Rashmi(Sai Tamhanker) and the other being Anjali (Mugdha Shah) along with son Rahul(Sushant Shelar).
How Anant handles both the families, is a hilarious situation in the film , especially when his son and daughter celebrate their birthday on the same day. Anant’s secret is known only to his good friends played by Sanjay Narvekar and Atul Parchure. And these friends in one tight situation are forced to reveal Anant’s secret , that leads to many funny situations.

The story by Anirudh Potdar and Abhay Dakhne is nothing novel, as films like David Dhawan’s ‘Saajan Chale Sasural’, ‘Gharwali Baharwali’ and the recent Marathi hit film ‘Hay Kay Nay Kay’ find similarity to their plot. It also has shades of Goldie Hawn’s Hollywood hit ‘Deceived’.

Atul Parchure

The film is watch able only because of the creation of funny situations and dialogues. The entire cast performs well, with Mohan Joshi leading the pack. Atul Parchure is hilarious and Sanjay Narvekar is impressive.

It’s a trendsetting film, as Mohan and Atul have sung a song for the first time. The highlight is Resham Tipnis’ sizzling dance number. Director Girish Mohite has handled the comic subject very well. The music by Ajit Parab and Menon(Ishq Ishq ) is tuneful. Technically, the film is first rate and a slickly made like any big budget Hindi film with dazzling cinematography by Santosh Shinde.
See this film, if you like yourself to be entertained by a mindless comedy.
