Marathi movies ‘Vanilla Strawberry and Chocolate’, ‘Naal’, ‘Ek Sangaychay’ and ‘Gat Mat’

Releasing three or four films together is not new to Marathi film industry. During the past few years we saw this happen and also witnessed how their business affected due to sharing of cinema halls and that too while competing with Hindi films. But that doesn’t seem to bother Marathi film makers. This Friday four Marathi films have announced their release simultaneously. So, only God knows what will be their fate in this competitive world.

Ek Sangaychay…Unsaid Harmony‘ starring Bollywood actor Kay Kay Menon and directed by Lokesh Gupte deals with a social issue, while writer director Girish Vishwanath presents an emotional bonding of a teenager with her pet dog through his film ‘Vanilla Strawberry and Chocolate‘. There is another film ‘Naal‘ on a sensible subject presented by National award winning film maker Nagraj Manjule , which is directed by Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti, while Avadhoot Gupte presented film ‘Gat Mat‘ directed by Nishit Shrivastava and based on youngsters also stands in the race.

Only last week we saw a Marathi biopic ‘Ani Dr. Kashinath Ghanekar‘ drawing full house at many theatres and even scoring over a big banner Hindi film. Therefore, this film is expected to continue with its success this week too. So, it remains to be seen how these four films will succeed in inviting audience at the cinema halls where they are released.
