The nude figure is a traditional Western art. Actually, a ‘nude’ is a work of fine art which has its primary subject as unclothed human body. Using this form of art, film maker Ravi Jadhav has presented his latest released Marathi film ‘Nude‘.

It may be recalled that Marathi film makers who are known for offering unconventional subjects through their films, have never compromised on their story line, if they want to offer something very realistic. And therefore, new Marathi film ‘Nude‘ is the best example. This film presents a touching tale, which shows how a helpless woman Yamuna (Kalyanee Mulay) leaves her village along with her son, to get rid of her abusive husband, who regularly sleeps with another woman.

Kalyanee Mulay and Chhaya Kadam, Marathi movie ‘Nude’

Yamuna lands in Mumbai at her aunt’s Chandrakka ( Chhaya Kadam) place, who works as a sweeper at J.J. School of Arts for the past 18 years; but actually she also poses as a nude model for senior batch of students, who are required to draw such paintings as part of their syllabus. Chandrakka does this, as her husband loses his job in a mill. Soon Yamuna, who is also in search of a job, comes to know about Chandrakka’s work. Initially she does not approve this kind of work, but when Chandrakka convinces her that it is safe, she too agrees to play Nude model, for the sake of her son, whom she wants to offer best education.

Time comes, when Chandrakka’s son attains teenage, and he too shows his skills in drawing. So, Yamuna sends him to Aurangabad for studies, as she doesn’t want him to join the college, where she plays nude model. To meet the rising expenses of her son’s education, Yamuna starts taking up private assignments for renowned painters. A student from the college who later turns a lecturer( Om Bhutkar) accompanies her for such assignments, at her request. One such renowned painter is played by Naseeruddin Shah, whose character resembles a former celebrity painter , who was banned from entering India due to controversy over drawing nude paintings .

The film reaches at an interesting stage, when Yamuna expects her son to understand the sacrifice of his mother in offering him good education. But, does that really happen? The director has kept the audience guessing. He unveils the answer in the climax, which regular film goers may not like. But, art film lovers will surely appreciate this conclusion, for its realistic touch. Performances in ‘Nude‘ film by lead artistes are simply top class. Both Kalyanee Mulay and Chhaya Kadam have impressed through their characters. They have received good support from Shrikant Yadav, Om Bhutkar, Madan Deodhar & others. Kishore Kadam and Neha Joshi are namesake in this film, with nothing much to do. What is highly impressive is the superb cinematography by Amalendu Choudhary, who has brought liveliness in every frame shot by him skillfully. A fine support also comes from music and sound design.

As suggested through the title, there is nothing vulgar in this film. In fact, this film sends across a strong message through artistic presentation.

In the first part of ‘Time Pass’’ we saw the love story taking place between Dagadu( Prathamesh Parab) and Prajakta ( Ketaki Mategaonkar) during their adolescence . But, due to timely intervention of Prajakta’s father Madhusudan Lele ( Vaibhav Mangale) and useful advice given by Prajakta’s teacher, we noticed a ‘break up’ in their relationship, in the film’s climax.  But, director Ravi Jadhav had clearly hinted that their love story would continue.

Now, in Part 2 of ‘Time Pass’, we notice director Ravi Jadhav setting a stage for their reunion after 12 years. But, this time, you will not see the same actors playing their characters, as the grown up Dagadu is played by actor – director Priyadarshan Jadhav, who had assisted Ravi Jadhav in ‘Time Pass’, while Prajakta is played by Priya Bapat – Kamat.

In the opening scene of this second part , we notice Dagadu turning a politician and social worker of his area, inaugurating an Ambulance service; while Prajakta, far away in Konkan, still dreaming about her reunion with Dagadu. It is only when Dagadu’s inner voice ( In the form of Prathamesh Parab)reminds him about his ‘past love’, Dagadu prepares to go to Konkan, along with his three friends with funny names, in search of Prajakta. He does meet her on his way, but both don’t recognize each other.

The actual love story between grown up Dagadu and Prajakta takes off, only post interval; as Dagadu first plans to impress Prajakta’s father, posing himself as Navin, a scientist from BARC. He even succeeds to a certain extent. But, Prajakta visits Mumbai, around that time, under the pretext of preparing for her music exams. And, finally, both of them meet in Mumbai, when Prajakta comes to know, his real identity. The film’s screenplay then proceeds further, with some more dramatic happenings, coming in the way of their reunion. Finally, it’s happy end in a predictable climax.

‘Time Pass-2′ has wasted a lot of time in the pre interval stage, before it takes actual grip on the continuation of Dagadu- Prajakta love story. In this second part, the director has paid more attention, giving emotional touch to this love story, besides showing the caring attitude of the protective father. This time, he has also added some action scenes, to show Dagadu a real Super hero. To add some humor, the characters of a photographer from the village, in love with Prajakta and Dagadu’s three friends have been added in a traditional style. But, one fails to understand, why a director of repute Viju Mane, agreed to play a bad man, in a casting couch episode?

‘Time Pass-2′ has good music, but not as superior as Part 1. Even the much talked about item number ‘Pichkari..’, performed by Sonalee Kulkarni, fails to appeal much, as the attention of the audience is more focused on Priya Bapat, who dances as a Junior artiste in that sequence. Barring few such shortfalls, ‘Time Pass-2′ still manages to appeal, because of the fine performances of all the artistes. But, among all of them, Vaibhav Mangle stands tall, with his outstanding performance. Prathamesh Parab , Ketaki Mategaonkar, Bhau Kadam, Bhushan Pradhan , Urmila Kanetkar Kothare and others, are just namesake in this film.  All in all, ‘Time Pass 2′ offers emotion filled entertainment.  But, don’t watch this film, with an intention of comparing it with Part 1.  Don’t forget that it is a pure ‘Time Pass’ film.
