Dipti Mate makes a debut as a Singer
Renowned Hindustani Classical Vocalist late Dr. Vasantrao Deshpande‘s grandson Rahul Deshpande has already earned name and fame through his performance of on stage as well as in film. Now, his grand- daughter Dipti Mate ( sister of Rahul Deshpande ) is also making her debut as a play back singer through forthcoming Marathi film ‘Baapjanma‘, which is now all set to release on 29th September 2017. Dipti has rendered a song ‘Mann Shevantiche Phul‘ in her voice for this film, which is penned by Kshitij Patwardhan on the music of Gandhar Sangoram. ‘Baapjanma‘ film directed by Nipun Dharmadhikari , stars Sachin Khedekar, Pushkaraj Chirputkar, Sharvari Lohokare, Satyajeet Patvardhan & Akarsh Khurana in lead roles.
Incidentally, Dipti Mate has been singing for Marathi musical dramas and now has made her debut in ‘Baapjanma‘. Speaking about her debut, Dipti says that it was a real challenge for her, as the music composed for this song was based on 35 year old style that raised concern and also created fear in her heart. “I have sung many songs for Marathi dramas and has also sung Bhavgeets. My grandfather and my brother Rahul Deshpande have taken our family singing levels to such a great height that any mistake from my end would have damaged the prestige of our family. But music composer Gandhar Sangoram and my brother Rahul encouraged me for this song and I am really thankful to them for their support.”
Friday release ‘Nadi Vahate’ and ‘Anaan’ to highlight social issues
Marathi films are known for highlighting timely social issues. Some of them are able to deliver the social message to the sensible audience. This Friday releases ‘Nadi Vahate‘ dicted by ‘Shwaas‘ fame Sandeep Sawant and ‘Anaan‘ directed by Rajesh Kushte have also handled two such social issues. While ‘Nadi Vahate‘ talks about saving the rivers from encroachments, ‘Anaan‘ highlights the plight of a transgender in our society.
Now, if we look at the subjects of these two films, there is ample scope for the film maker to invite the attention of audience all over the world, as films are generally the right medium to strongly create awareness among people about a particular issue. In the past, some well known film makers in Marathi had very artistically offered films on various social issues. After all, the skill of the director can be judged by conveying the message, without taxing the audience. So, it remains to be seen how effectively these two directors have succeeded in inviting the audience to cinema halls ?

Has Mrunal Dusanis said good bye to acting ?
Replacement of characters in the TV serials is very common these days. But, when the main character is replaced, it certainly creates confusion among the regular TV viewers. Last month we saw disappearance of Mrunal Dusanis from the ongoing popular TV serial ‘Assa Sasar Surekh Bai‘ on Colors channel. Her character of Jui is now played by Sayali Patil, but her regular admirers are finding it difficult to watch this serial without Mrunal.
We find hundreds of messages pouring in from her fans on her social networking page. They have all expressed that they are missing her the most. Undoubtedly, Mrunal Dusanis has been the most popular television actress and besides her performance in ongoing TV serial ‘Assa Sasar Surekh Bai’ , she had won the hearts of millions of home viewers, with her past performances in serials like ‘Majhiya Priyala Preet Kalena ‘ and ‘Tu Tithe Mee‘.
Mrunal herself has not replied to their comments. Instead, she has been displaying her photos with her husband, who lives in USA and also sharing some videos of ‘Chala hava Yeu Dya‘ comedy show, which seems to be her favourite programme.
It may be recalled that after her marriage, there were already talks going on that Mrunal would soon join her husband; but, everyone felt that she would do so after the end of this serial. However, there seems to be no possibility of this serial coming to an end so soon. Finally, we saw Mrunal herself saying ‘Good Bye’ to this serial. Does that mean that she has said ‘Good Bye’ to acting? Or she has taken a break ? Only Mrunal can answer this question. Speak up… Mrunal. Your fans are eagerly waiting for your decision.
