Chaitanya Tamhane’s film ‘Court’ has won 17 awards at the various international film festivals. Recently, it added one more feather in its cap, by bagging the national award. The past experience of such award winning films, clearly indicates that such films never draw crowds at theaters. Therefore, it remains to be seen, whether ‘Court’ succeeds in drawing good crowds at theaters.

But, along with ‘Court’ , two more Marathi films are also releasing coming Friday. They are ‘Te Don Diwas’ directed by Devendra Dodke and ‘What About Savarkar’ directed by Rupesh Katare & Nitin Gawde. Incidentally, all these three films are based on social issues, with a social message. While, ‘Te Don Diwas’ has well known veteran artistes like Mohan Joshi, Alka Kubal Athalye, Arun Nalawade & Dr. Vila Ujavane, ‘What About Savarkar’ has well known stage artistes like Sharad Ponkshe, Avinash Narkar, Atul Todankar and Shrikant Bhide. In comparison ‘Court’ has a big team of newcomers, with just two stage artistes. But, it has awards in its bag.

So, it will be a triangular contest coming Friday, with the audience to decide, what will be their choice. So, over to 17th April.
