Sagarika Ghatge returns with another Marathi film ‘Daav’
Sagarika Ghatge who shot into limelight with Shahrukh Khan starrer Bollywood film ‘Chak De India’, later made her debut in Marathi through ‘Premachi Goshta’ starring opposite Atul Kulkarni. Now, after a gap of few years, Sagarika is returning to Marathi cinema with her next film ‘Daav’ which is produced by Nitin Upadhyay and directed by Kanishk Verma.
‘Daav’ will be a suspense thriller written by director himself, who has also penned the screenplay of this film, with dialogues by Yogesh Markande. Sagarika herself feels that her lead role in this film is more challenging, as she has never played this kind of character before. She also feels that in Marathi there are very less suspense filled thrillers and hence this film would certainly offer something different to Marathi film lovers. Mangesh Dhakde has provided background music of this film, which is based on a psycho killer.
It’s Sameer Vidwans v/s Prasad Oak this Friday
Release of two or three films together on the same day is not new to Marathi film industry. And the makers of the films have always taken it sportingly. This Friday, Marathi film lovers will witness two much talked about films on different subjects releasing together. The first film is a star studded ‘Mala Kahich Problem Nahi‘ directed by Sameer Vidwans , with youngsters Gashmeer Mahajani and Spruha Joshi in the lead, while the other film ‘Kachha Limbu‘ directed by actor turned director Prasad Oak with renowned artistes like Sachin Khedekar, Sonali Kulkarni along with director turned actor Ravi Jadhav and Manmeet Pem in a very special role.
Now, looking at these two films, it is clearly understood that both the films are targeting on different types of audience. While ‘Mala Kahich Problem Nahi’ will invite the attention of young audience, ‘Kachha Limbu’ will invite the attention of audience, who would appreciate the subject, besides the performances of the artistes. Looking at the competition for booking the theatres, both the films have managed to book maximum cinema halls in and around Mumbai. But, as the past experience tells, the film which has better hold over its screenplay, always invites audience, through word of mouth publicity. So, it remains to be seen, which film invites more crowd in theatres during the first three days. With two holidays during the later part of the week, the time is just right for both these films.
