“When a Marathi film is screened by us, before its formal release, it goes on to receive critical acclaims film fests and critics.Best examples are films like, ‘Shwaas’ & ‘Harishchandrachi Factory”, Santosh Pathare, secretary Prabhat Chitra Mandal,  was claiming, during the first ever screening of an unreleased Marathi film ‘Chuk bhul Dyawi Ghyawi’.  Initially, Kiran Shantaram, President of Prabhat Chitra Mandal welcomed the director and artists . Prabhat Chitra Mandal is one of the oldest Film Societies of India and the screening of ‘Chuk Bhul Dhyavhi Ghyavhi’ was part of the celebration of their 47th anniversary at Y B Chavan auditorium in Mumbai.

Before the start of the screening, director Viju Mane, who is in the limelight these days for his short film Ek Hota Kau being part of ‘Bioscope’, was reluctant to talk and said “I won’t say anything now,  because my film will talk.”  He was all praise for Makarand Anaspure, one of the leading artists in the film and said,  “Makarand is one of the very few marathi artists,  who follow international cinema passionately and contrary to his screen image, he’s a serious person  off-screen. I was always fascinated with road movies. And when I decided to make this one,  a lot of research went into the project. I have tried to address the problem of indiscriminately increasing number of divorces in Maharashtra’s premium cities through entertainment.”

Mrunmayee Deshpande who also is part of the film, was candid in admitting her role being small and commented,  “As ‘pickle’ enhances the taste of food in a Maharashtrian ‘Thali’, same is my role, though small but important.”  Makarand Anaspure enthusiastically said that , he enjoyed being part of this movie. “Viju gave me full freedom, to design my role in this film. I have purposefully moved away from my trademark Marathwada dialect and have adopted a rural dialect of Western Maharashtra.”

The film is still in the process of giving finishing touches to its technical side and the makers will announce its  official release date very soon.
