For the past few years Ashish Ningurkar has been silently working as a freelance journalist in Marathi film industry. He did try his luck as a lyricist in few films; but he found better scope in Friday released Marathi film ‘Rairand‘, which is based on the social issue about nomadic tribes and child labourers. The film has already received appreciation and awards from few International film festivals, where it was shown.

Besides writing two songs in this film, Ashish Ningurkar has also written the script of ‘Rairand‘ film, besides playing an important role of Journalist in this film. The film also stars, Anant Jog, Ranjit Kamble, Shyamkumar Shrivastav, Karan Kadam, Anand Wagh, Ajit Pawar, Pravin Bhabal, Sunil Jain, Suresh Dabhade, Rekha Nirmal, Gorakh Pathare, Zakir Khan, Nana Shinde, Santosh Choradia & Anurag Ningurkar. Music by Vikas Joshi and Cinematography by Rajesh Wavhal are the other credits. The film is produced by Suresh Shetty and directed by Ramesh Popat Nanaware.

Ashish Ningurkar is very happy that the film’s subject has been appreciated at different film festivals, wherever it was shown and is hopeful that people from Maharashtra would also respond positively to their sincere effort by watching this film in theatres. MarathiMovieWorld film critic visited Moviestar Goregaon multiplex to watch the 12 noon show on the first day. As per the advertisement in newspaper, the film’s show was also to be held at 12 noon at this theatre, but the booking clerk at the ticket window clearly stated that no such Marathi film was booked at their theatre. Hope the makers/distributors of ‘Rairand‘ would look into this matter.
