This eight year old is shown extremely popular in his group with Pappu as his best friend and Mini, Raju, Baglya, Neha and the toddler Sonu all together forming the unbeatable ‘Wanarwede Warriors’

Omkar Karve, Nitin ParegaonkarAnother film ‘Swapna Tujhe Ni Majhe'( STNM) seems to be inspired by the work of social reformer Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, as it deals with the topic of upliftment of village and the living conditions of people living in rural sector who become victims of drought. The film produced by Sachin Bhalinge and directed by Ashok Kambli, presents a story of two friends studying together in an Agricultural college, have their own dreams to change their village conditions, as per their plans.

While Vishwas is from a poor family, Vidyadhar belongs to a a rich family. The dream of Vishwas remains incomplete, due to his sudden demise. So, Vidyadhar arrives in his village, to fulfill his friend’s dream. The film has tried to present the situation, how Vidyadhar comes across the problems and how he faces it.

At a time, when today’s children are attracted towards traditional courses for their career, STNM, shows the way to the youth and encourages them to take up education in agricultural sector, for the real development of our country. Highlight of the film is the music, which is provided by young pair comprising of Siddharth Mahadevan ( Son of Shankar Mahadevan) and his nephew Saumil Shringarpure; who are making their debut as music directors, through this film.
