Playing the central character of Abhimanyu Shinde, this is the most challenging role offered to Ajinkya Deo. Speaking about this role he says, “I am happy to be back with Marathi films .Though I was busy with other Hindi projects, I always wanted to do Marathi film, but was waiting for the right kind of role. With this film, I have found this role, through my friend and producer of this film Anand Pathak. Moreover, I liked this particular role because it has different shades in its character. “

Like his Grandfather Ramesh Deo and father Ajinkya Deo, Arya Ajinkya Deo has also entered the film industry. Arya has turned a short film maker and has directed a short film ‘Metanoia’ based on psychological disorder. And, the good news for Deo family is that it has been selected for screening at the prestigious London Independent Film Award( LIFA)  Festival. On 29^th July 2017 this 15 minute duration film will be screened at London’s Roxy Bar & Screen .

Incidentally, Arya doesn’t have much experience of film making, except for assisting his uncle Abhinay Deo during the making of his TV serial 24 part 2. Reacting on his son’s recent achievement, Ajinkya Deo said, “Arya is very hard working and focused. And I consider this a biggest gift from him on the occasion of ‘fathers’ day.” One doesn’t know, what will be Arya’s next plans. But, surely, we can expect him to direct his next home production.

Films on the backdrop of political situation in Maharashtra, are not new to Marathi film lovers. In the past, films like ‘Samna‘, ‘Sarkarnama‘, ‘Made In China‘ invited attention of many film lovers, for presenting the political situation especially in Maharashtra very realistically. However, in the recent past, none of the film makers could present their films on this subject effectively, so as to hold the film goers to their seats from start to finish. Some film makers did attempt political satire, to entertain the audience.

Latest released Marathi film ‘Nagpur Adhiveshan- Ek Sahal‘ also presents a light comedy, on the backdrop of Winter session of Maharashtra legislature, held every year in the orange city. Produced by Anil Keshavrao Jalamkar and directed by Nilesh Raosaheb Jalamkar this film presents the effect of this session on the officials of State Government department housed there. The film focuses on all such employees busy in meeting the demands of the visiting elected representatives, through corrupt practices. Through different characters, the film tries to show the attitude of each one of them, engaged in ‘give and take’ business.

The film begins with a leader of the opposition Prataprao ( Ajinkya Deo) planning a cycle march from his village to Nagpur,to show his strength to gain political mileage; but faces opposition from a young protagonist Aju ( Amol Tale) from his village. Somehow, he manages to convince him to accompany him along with his followers. However, on reaching Nagpur, Prataprao plays his political game with the help of his local Political worker Waghmare ( Bharat Ganeshpure ) based in Nagpur , who seeks help of a clerk from Government office Mr. Solanke ( Makarand Anaspure ) and his team.

The film does not pass any strong social message, but has tried to show the excitement amongst the leaders attending the sessions , who are in a picnic mood instead of discussing the problems faced by the people. All these events have been picturised to generate some humour. However, the film’s screenplay fails to pick up till interval. Even after interval, there are not many interesting happenings, giving it a look of a routine political satire. It is only towards the climax, the screenplay presents some hilarious moments. The intention of writer-director has been good while presenting this subject, but he has not been able to make it gripping. In an attempt to offer scope to every important actor in this film, he has lost the track.

In the beginning of the film, you are under the impression that Ajinkya Deo is the hero of this film. Then, the focus is shifted on Amol Tale and soon you find Makarand Anaspure and Bharat Ganeshpure getting the attention. But, there is also time given to young Sankarshan Karhade, who finds his space to romance with Sneha Chavan. Then, there are other artistes like Mohan Joshi, Chetan Dalvi, Satish Phadke, Deepali Jagtap and Vinit Bhonde , who find their share as supporting artistes. All of them have given good performances, with Mohan Joshi attempting something different. The film’s music is not very impressive, as there are two conventional style songs, but the film’s cinematography is good, capturing some outdoor locations of Nagpur skillfully.

All in all, ‘Nagpur Adhiveshan Ek Sahal‘ presents a routine political satire and is a timely release as the winter session of State legislature is going on in Nagpur.

Ajinkya Deo- Still matchless

The post Ajinkya Deo, Actor appeared first on .

During the past three decades, we have seen many lead actors coming into Marathi film industry. Some of them, have come and disappeared, while others have shifted to character roles. But, there is one such actor, who still plays the lead role, for the past 33 years. In today’s competitive world of Marathi cinema, Ajinkya Deo is still matchless. He has already completed century of his films, in Hindi and Marathi films. Last Friday, his film ‘Shinma’ was released, in lead role and now his next film ‘Nagpur Adhiveshan’ also in the lead role, is due for release. It may be recalled that last year, his film ‘Bhatukli’ was released, also in the lead role.

Marathi Movie World had a chit chat with this evergreen actor and this smart and handsome actor, spoke about his present progress in film industry. “Yes, somehow I am lucky to find suitable lead roles for me, in Marathi films, even now. In ‘Shinma’ I was offered the role of a film director, as there is an actual  film’s shooting in this film. It’s a good challenging role, as the film, besides offering entertainment, also delivers a social message, very skillfully. My forthcoming film ‘Nagpur Adhiveshan’ is a comedy film, where I am playing a politician. Now, I will be getting busy with a mega serial on Star Plus and then there will be second part of our home production ‘24’, which will also be aired soon. By the way, I am also doing an Indo –British film ‘Bombayria’ in the lead role, ” he said.

Having played the character of a director in ‘Shinma’, we did remind him, whether, in near future, he will be directing a project? And, he quickly reacted, “Yes’ I has a good experience of playing a director’s role, in the film ‘Shinma’.  

Finally, when we asked him to react on Aamir Khan’s latest controversial remarks, he diplomatically said, “ Well, I don’t want to comment on this issue, as these are his personal comments and in democracy, anyone can express their feelings. So, I don’t want to react on that,” he concluded.

Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke

Shooting of a film, in a film,  is not new to Marathi cinema. In the past we have seen this happen in the film ‘Pipani’ and very recently, we saw it happen in the film ‘Mungala‘. Now, film maker Milind Arun Kavade has presented one such theme, through his latest released Marathi film ‘Shinma’. Produced by Aanil Joshi, the film presents the shooting of a film, at a village in Maharashtra in drought affected district.

Director K.Vasu( Ajinkya Deo) , whose real name is Keshav Vasudev Bhosale, takes up a commercial project, with the help of his production manager( Vijay Patkar) , only to raise money for his wife’s ( Nisha Parulekar) operation; who is in coma, after meeting with a road accident. To please the  producer couple Mr. & Mrs. Ganda ( Yatin Karyekar and Kishori Shahane), they plan to make a remake of ‘Sholay’ in Marathi. Accordingly, they move to a village location, which is already facing water scarcity problem, due to drought in that region. But, with the support of a social worker Navin( Ganesh Yadav) and Sarpanch of the village (Digambar Naik) they begin the shooting of their film, with all their important characters played by Jai(Ashish Pawar), Veeru(Arun kadam), Basanti(Gurleen Chopra) and others.

But, soon at the request of social activist Navin and his sister ( Sanskruti Balgude)they agree to‘In-film branding’ into their film, to highlight the water scarcity problem in the village, in spite of the help assured by the Government. So, besides the humor filled happenings noticed during the shooting, we also find K.Vasu’s assistant director ( Saurabh Gokhale) and Navin Sister’s (Sanskruti  Balgude) love affair progressing side by side, on the outskirts of  the village. After watching all the incidents,  that we see happen in the film industry, over the issues arising out of delay in shooting and threats issued by artistes , finally we see a surprise in the climax.

The film has a very big team of artistes, including film artistes and the villagers and therefore, except for the character of film director played by Ajinkya Deo, there is limited scope to all others. In the film, we notice two lengthy scenes of Ajinkya Deo, trying to converse with his wife lying in Coma in the hospital, over phone. But, they have not even shown the ailing mother of  actress Gurleen Chopra, whose is also undergoing treatment in hospital. More than the film artistes Gurleen Chopra, Ashish Pawar & Arun kadam shown in this film, there is more scope given to the so called production manager played by Vijay Patkar and the so called producer Ganda, played by Yatin karyekar.  The latter has also  been given scenes, flirting  with the actress Gurleen in swimming pool, perhaps to highlight the casting couch mentality in the film industry.

All the artistes selected in the film, have given their best. But, there is very less scope for Sanskruti Balgude in the film. In comparison, Gurleen Chopra finds better scope and she has played her character very well. In short, her debut in Marathi films, has been good. What is worth praising is that, she has tried to speak most of her dialogues in Marathi, unlike other non Marathi actresses noticed in Marathi films, in the recent past. It is understood that she has herself  dubbed for her own dialogues in Marathi. With her fit and slim looks, this beautiful Punjabi actress has also performed the dance very well, in the company of choreographer Ganesh Acharya.  Music does not appeal much, except for one song; but, Santanio Terezio has impressed with his beautiful cinematography, most of which  has been shot in the outdoors.

All in all, Director Milind Kavade has tried to create awareness about wastage of water by people living in city and Government’s apathy to provide relief to drought affected villages, in spite of sanctioning huge amount for water conservation schemes. In short, he has used this medium of entertainment well, to pass on this social message skillfully , through this film.

Milind Arun kavade’s next Marathi film ‘Shinma’ is due for release on 27th November 2015. To make this official announcement and to unveil the theme song of the film, he had organized a press conference recently, when most of the artistes of the film were present, excluding Nisha Parulekar, Sanskruti Balgude & Kishori Shahane. In their absence, the only lady member present on the occasion was Gurleen Chopra and she stole the show, posing in different poses for cine photographers.

Initially, the director Milind Kavade introduced the producer of the film Aanil Joshi and appreciated his constant support throughout the film’s shooting. Then, he introduced the music director duo Rohan Pradhan & Rohan Gokhale and also unveiled the theme song, before the media persons. The item song from this film, has already been shown to media, during the music release of this film, sometime back. Therefore, Gurleen Chopra also spoke on the occasion, uttering her few dialogues in Marathi from this film. Incidentally, the Punjabi actress has dubbed in Marathi for her own voice, which is a welcome news.

Others who spoke on the occasion were Ajinkya Deo, Vijay Patkar, Yatin karyekar, Saurabh Gokhale,Ganesh Yadav and producer of the film Aanil Joshi.
