Ranbir Kapoor surprises in the trailer of ‘Bucket List’
The trailer of Madhuri Dixit’s debut Marathi film ‘Bucket List‘ was released on her birthday recently. The trailer came as a surprise for the media persons, before the press show of the film ‘Redu‘. And the dhak dhak actress of Bollywood invited all the attention with her Marathi dialogues in typical Puneri style, showing her dominance in the film. But, what actually surprised the media persons, was the glimpse of Popular bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor in one of the scenes with Madhuri Dixit Nene.
It may be recalled that Madhuri Dixit had played guest appearance in the Ghagra song of Ranbir Kapoor’s film ‘Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani‘ . And therefore it seems that Ranbir has reciprocated at the right time by appearing in this Marathi film, which is also Madhuri’s debut in Marathi. There is another popular veteran Bollywood actress in the form of Shubha Khote, who also has a prominent role in this film. There are other renowned names like Dilip Prabhavalkar, Vandana Gupte, Ila Bhate and others who are part of this film. Sumeet Raghvan is certainly there in the lead role, but the film clearly indicates that it is a women oriented film. Incidentally, ‘Bucket List‘ is being distributed by renowned Bollywood film maker Karan Johar, which certainly speaks big about this film.
Four Marathi films to release coming Friday
At a time, it is difficult for Marathi film makers to find sufficient theatre screens to release their screens, this coming Friday we find the announcement of Four Marathi films. None of these films have announced their theatres and timings, with just two days to go. The names of these four Marathi films are, ‘Redu‘, ‘Wagherya‘, ‘Monkey Baat‘ & ‘Mahasatta 2035‘. Press shows of these four films have been booked with 12 noon and 3 pm shows on Tuesday and Wednesday, clearly indicating their release this Friday.
In the past we have already seen the fate of Marathi films released simultaneously. How do they expect the Marathi film lovers to watch so many films during the week? Incidentally, the popular game of cricket is in full swing, with interesting stage of play off nearing. Therefore, one really doubts even sufficient turn out at cinema halls for these films. And, we have seen this happen during the past few days. If at all, you want the people to come to cinema halls , you need a very strong subject, with word of mouth priase. So, it remains to be seen which of these four films would invite the attention of film lovers, so as to make them watch it in cinema halls.

Sadashiv Amrapurkar Memorial Trust to help needy film makers
As an actor, Sadashiv Amrapurkar had created his own identity in Hindi and Marathi film industry. As a citizen of this country, he never forgot his social commitments to the society. No wonder, after his sad demise, his family members formed a Trust Sadashiv Amrapurkar Memorial Trust to help the young filmmakers from rural parts. It may be recalled that the legendary actor himself had come from the rural area to establish himself in the tinsel town of Mumbai. And, on his own, he established himself as an actor par excellence.
Now, his daughter and filmmaker Reema Amnrapurkar who is managing the trust in her father’s name, has started a project with the name of ‘Saadhan’ to provide the scholarship in the form of supply of equipment to genuine filmmakers, who are unable to hire the equipments for filmmaking. The Trust will select the projects from such film makers and after going through the subject, will come forward to help such projects by way of part or full scholarship. For the past three years, the trust has been conducting workshops on filmmaking in schools and colleges in rural areas of Ahmednagar district. Hon. Minister Mr. Vinod Tawde has also shown his support for the work undertaken by Sadashiv Amrapurkar Memorial Trust.
