Marathi films well received on OTT Platform
During the year 2020 and 2021 we had seen some of the Marathi films released on OTT platform due to spread of Corona virus. Subsequently, the theatres were opened after lifting of lockdown. But, there wasn’t satisfying response for Marathi as well as Hindi films, as it used to be prior to 2020. But, the same Marathi Films when released on OTT platform received good response not only amongst the Marathi viewers but also among non- Marathi viewers.
To be specific, this year 2022, we saw very good response to ‘Dharmaveer’ a biopic on Late Shiv Sena leader from Thane Anand Dighe. Prasad Oak who played his role received appreciation besides winning awards. Now, recently released films like ‘Dagadi Chawl-2 ( On Amazon Prime), ‘Chandramukhi ( On Netflix), Anannya and ‘Time Pass 3’ on Zee 5 besides ‘Zombivali’ and ‘Benwad’ are also inviting attention on OTT platform. Does that mean that Marathi film lovers prefer to watch the films sitting at home and while travelling on their mobile phones?

The trio of popular characters Dhairya, Dhungya and Kabir have become very popular with the films ‘Boyz’ and ‘Boyz-2’. Now, in ‘Boyz-3’ which is released this week, it is understood that the trio has played lots of mischief. But, Kabir played by Sumant Shinde seems to have worked more harder, as he is seen fighting with real wrestlers in the film.
The action director worked very hard in preparing Sumant for taking on the real wrestlers, as the script of this film demanded the same. According to director Vishal Devrukhkar,” Wrestling is the biggest sport in Maharashtra. We included Wrestling in the story of this film for this reason. For Sumant, this was the most challenging part, as he had to face the real life wrestlers. But, the action director handled these sequences very efficiently.”
Along with Sumant Shinde, ‘Boyz-3’ stars Parth Bhalerao, Pratik Lad and Vidula Chougule in lead roles.
