Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke

To keep the audience engaged throughout the film, should be the sole motive of an entertaining film. Especially, when the theme of the film is based on comedy, there are big expectations from the director of the film. Paresh Mokashi, who directed the films like ‘Harishchandrachi Factory‘ and ‘Elizabeth Ekadashi‘ has now presented his latest film ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka‘, raising expectations from the Marathi film audience. But, the film has turned out to be a casual entertainer.

Lalit Prabhakar and Mrinmayee Godbole, Marathi movie ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka

The film presents the story of two youngsters Savitri( Mrinmayee Godbole) and Satya ( Lalit Prabhakar), who are from different fields. While Satya is an Electronics engineer, who is very much concerned about water conservation, Savitri is a Veterinary doctor, who is very much against anyone harming an insect or an animal. Both of them are brought together by their respective family members, with an arranged marriage. But, Savitri, in spite of knowing Satya through her friend, puts a condition that she would marry Satya, provided she is given a chance live with him on a trial basis for few days, to understand him.
In spite of opposition from parents , Satya accepts this condition and both of them live together in a room, only to create misunderstandings among family members from both the sides. There are fights between them. Then, we also notice Savitri fighting like a kid with her elder sister who is pregnant and younger school going brother. Most of the time in this film has been wasted in unnecessary quarrels between different characters, who sound loud.

Actually, what the film maker wanted to show, he could not present in two hours and thirteen minutes, due to poor screenplay and limited content. Initially, through another couple separating after their court marriage, he clearly hinted that all love marriages are not successful, showing the instant break up of a young couple, who could not stay without each other’s company earlier.

However, in the case of Satya and Savitri, he has tried to show that ‘Live in relationship‘ is the only way to understand each other, no matter how much time it takes? Today, in the name of comedy and entertainment, anything is being offered and some our Bollywood films are the best example. This film has tried nothing different from such films. Now, how the audience would accept this idea, remains a big question.

Performances from the artistes are just fine, but all of them are too loud and quarrelling with each other most of the time, which has taken away the interest from the subject of ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka‘ film. Music composed by Narendra Bhide is just fine, but the sound recording and the fine photography by Sudhir Palsane, have turned out to be the plus points of  ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka‘ film.

Movie Review by: Sanskruti Bhatkar

Director Paresh Mokashi’s first film ‘Harishchandrachi Factory’ was acclaimed nationally as well as internationally and had won many prestigious awards. He has now returned back after a gap of five years, with his second creative film ‘Elizabeth Ekadashi’, which has all the qualities of the world cinema and also has the local feel. This film neither has a regular ‘formula’ of a hero, heroine and villain, nor has a love story between boy and a girl.
The name of the film itself creates curiosity in the minds of the viewers. The three main characters in the film are little children, who are passionate and determined to save their bicycle ‘Elizabeth’. The whole movie has been picturized in Pandhapur, against the backdrop of Ekadashi Vaari, with the real people of Pandharpur and the devotees around.

‘Elizabeth Ekadashi’ , is a story of Dnyanesh (child artist Shrirang Mahajan) and Zendu (Saili Bhandarkavthekar) who are staying in Pandharpur, with their mother (Nandita Dhuri) grandmother (Vanamala Kinikar) and friends Ganya and Kalpit . Dnyanesh is a bright student of his school, who is fascinated with the theories of well-known scientist Isaac Newton and performs ‘Kirtan’s on ‘Saint’ Newton, which is liked by the local people. His family financially struggles a lot after the death of his father. As his mother is not able to pay the loan installments, the bank takes away her Knitting Machine, the source of her earnings; to be returned only after payment of some installments. The family struggles to collect the money for payment to the bank. Dnyanesh who is very fond of ‘Elizabeth’, the bicycle made by his father, strives hard to save her from getting sold, with the help of his sister Zendu and his friends.

Shrirang Mahajan Saili Bhandarkavthekar Pushkar Lonarkar

Presented by Essel Vision Productions Ltd and Mayasabha, the producers of this film are: Nittin Keni, Nikhil Sane and Madhugandha Kulkarni. The story is written by Madhugandha Kulkarni, who has written the script of TV serial ‘Honar Soon Mi Ya Gharachi’. The screenplay and dialogues are jointly written by Paresh Mokashi and Madhugandha Kulkarni, who happen to be a husband and wife pair. Paresh Mokashi has also written the songs, while the music has been rendered by late Shri Anand Modak. Brilliant Camera work by Amol Gole, suitable costumes designed by Chaitali Dongre, and editing by Abhijit Deshpande have added to the quality of the film.

Best part of this film are the fine performances by all the artistes. For stage artist Nandita Dhuri, it has been a good opportunity, to display her talent, while all the three child artistes Shrirang Mahajan, Saili Bhandarkavthekar, Pushkar Lonarkar have played their roles, remarkably well. The film’s screenplay has universal values, taking into account the struggle of the family, in absence of the head of the family, to keep the fire burning in their house. The film carries a strong message for children of all age group as well as elders. This film is likely to win many awards and is a ‘must watch’ for children and parents alike.
