Many celebrities from Bollywood and Marathi film industry are known for celebrating their birthdays with their well wishers and friends either on the sets of their films or by throwing a party in a hotel for their well wishers and friends. Some prefer to celebrate privately in their houses in presence of their near and dear ones. And, actress Ashwini Bhave is one of them. Even before moving to USA, after her marriage, Ashwini Bhave always used to celebrate her birthday at home.

This year too Ashwini Bhave celebrated her birthday at her home in San Francisco USA with her family members. Every year, her daughter prepares the cake for her birthday and this year too it came as a gift from her daughter. Ashwini’s relatives also live nearby and they also join her birthday, which is celebrated in her house. There is one more gift that comes from her husband and that is special dinner outing with Ashwini. “This is what makes me happy,” says Ashwini Bhave. But, recalling her childhood birthdays, she says, “Every year on my birthday, there used to be mango juice as special menu, which I never used to like.”

On the occasion of International Women’s day, we at Marathi Movie World thought of reviewing the role of Woman in different departments of Marathi Entertainment. And, we observed that it’s woman power everywhere, be it Marathi stage, TV serials or films. They are in the forefront not only to entertain the audience but also prove their ability in different fields, such as acting, production, direction, costume designing, lyrics, music and so on.

If we start with the theatre section, today we find the female actresses inviting all the attention, while displaying their acting potential through various ongoing Marathi plays. To name a few, Mukta Barve in Code Mantra, Spruha Joshi in ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy‘, Leena Bhagwat in ‘Ke Dil Abhi Bhara Nahin‘ Reshma Ramchandra in ‘Chhada’ and so on.

On the small screen we find Mrunal Dusanis (Assa Sasar Surekh Bai), Akshaya Deodhar ( Tujhyat Jeev Rangala) , Mayuri Deshmukh ( Khulta Kali Khulena) have set some ideals before the audience, through their respective characters. Every serial has a negative character. Today, we see some of the women playing negative roles. So, it is a woman v/s Woman. But finally, it is always the win of pleasant over the evil. Title songs of almost all the serials have domination of female singers. Moreover, when we visit the sets, we find many women associated with production and technical work, which is highly appreciated.

Now, coming to the big screen, we have observed the importance given to many women oriented films in Marathi, with more and more women coming forward to making of films. So, after Sai Paranjape , Aruna Raje, we find women film makers like Shravani Deodhar, Sumitra Bhave, Kaanchan Adhikari, Samruddhi Porey, Mrinal Kulkarni, Kranti Redkar and so on, also coming forward to offer their creativity. Some of the actresses who have already proved their mettle through their respective characters in women oriented films and winning the awards and appreciation are, Ashwini Bhave, Urmila Kanitkar Kothare, Sai Tamhankar, Tejaswini Pandit, Mrunmayee Deshpande in the recent past. There are many others associated with production and post production work.

Every actor or actress desire to perform a lifetime role in their acting career, be it on stage, television or films. And, very few of them get an opportunity to do so, in their second innings. Actor Amitabh Bachchan did find such opportunities through films like Cheeni Kam, Black, Paa, Piku & Pink. In Marathi, Nana Patekar found it in ‘Natasamarat‘. But, all are not lucky, especially the female artistes. But, Ashwini Bhave has found one such role in latest released Marathi film ‘Dhyanimani‘. She is the backbone of this film.

The film ‘Dhyanimani‘ revolves around her central character of Shalini Pathak a 40+ wife of Sadanand Pathak ( Mahesh Manjrekar) based in Roha on an job assignment. A newly married young couple Aparna ( Mrunmayee Deshpande) & Sameer ( Abhijeet Khandkekar) arrive in their house on a short vacation, as Pathak couple is close to Sameer’s father, a retired and highly respected school teacher( Madhav Abhyankar) .

Sadanand & Shalini welcome the young couple but soon the young couple notice some mystery in the strange behaviour of the couple. At the stroke of interval, the young couple and audience receive the first jolt and in the second half it is the uncovering of the mystery. ‘Dhyanimani‘ is based on the Marathi play by Prashant Dalvi which was staged in 90s. The play was directed by Chandrakant Kulkarni , who has now directed this film with the same name. Through this film, he has managed to present this mystery based screenplay of Prashant Dalvi well and has also skilfully exploited the best out of all four lead artistes well, but, he hasn’t taken much cinematic liberties through this film. Therefore, in many scenes the film has the look of a stage play, with more emphasis on long dialogues, especially those uttered by Ashwini Bhave.

Nevertheless, Ajith Reddy’s camera work, Paresh Manjrekar’s editing, Ajit Parab’s background music and Sandeep Mochemadkar’s sound design are plus points of this film. All in all,’Dhyanimani‘ film is not entertaining like typical Marathi films; but, does offer something different for those, who love to watch mystery based subjects with good performances.

Popular Marathi & Bollywood actress of 90’s Ashwini Bhave migrated to USA after her marriage. But, her bonding with Marathi films is still strong. Ashwini Bhave made a comeback with her own production ‘Kadachit‘ in 2007 and later played Judge for a reality show and also performed in film ‘Aajcha Diwas Majha‘, finding some time during her vacation in India. Now, Ashwini is playing the most important character in forthcoming Marathi film ‘Dhyanimani‘, which is based on Prashant Dalvi’s play with the same name.

Mahesh Manjrekar’s The Great Maratha Entertainment and co producers Smita Thackeray, Amolalkh Singh, Iqbalsingh Gakhal and Rajesh Banga are producing this film, which is directed by Chandrakant Kulkarni. On Friday evening the makers of this film had hosted a party to release the first look of this film. In the beginning a promotional video was shown in which Salman Khan, Sunil Barve and Priya Bapat appealed to the audience not to watch this film, if they were looking for entertainment in the form of item number and comedy but welcomed all those film lovers, who were interested in watching a sensible film with a good subject.

Later, speaking about this unusual campaign, actor –film maker Mahesh Manjrekar stated that they didn’t want to keep the audience in the dark and hence thought of making this type of appeal, so that only those interested in such sensible subjects, would watch this film. The film is all set to release on 10th February 2017 all over Maharashtra, besides being simultaneously released in Digital format all over the world, through Pratik Shelar’s company. It will be the first Marathi film, to release in this format.

Speaking on this occasion Ashwini Bhave for all praise for Mahesh Manjrekar and Chandrakant Kulkarni. “I am glad that they found me suitable for this role, which is the best role in my acting career so far,” she said. “I trust Chandu, who is also my good friend. He has terrific sense while presenting the relationship on screen. I could learn new things, through this role, which is worth mentioning. I am confident that the Marathi film lovers would appreciate this film,” she added. Others who spoke on the occasion were Abhijit Khandkekar, Chandu Kulkarni, co producer Smita Thackeray and producer Medha Manjrekar.

Besides Ashwini Bhave and Mahesh Manjrekar, the film also stars Abhijit Khandkekar & Mrunmayee Deshpande in equally important roles. Ajit Parab has composed music of this film, besides singing one meaningful song. The film has already created a buzz on social networking sites.
