Presenter: Prabhakar Films Producer: Dyaneshwar Govekar Director: Sandip-Samip Story: Anil Pawar Music: Pravin Kunwar Camera: Sameer Athale Cast: Bharat Jadhav, Dr. Girish Oak, Suhas Palshikar, Mangala Kenkre, Siya Patil, Nayan Jadhav, Vijay Kenkre, Ravindra Berde, Vinay Yedekar… Movie Review by: Sandeep Hattangadi |
Bharat Jadhav is a very saleable name on the marquee today and some of his films are only written for him. Writer Anil Pawar has written ‘Hello-Gandhe Sir’ keeping only Bharat in mind and he delivers in a style.
Gangya (Bharat Jadhav) is a ‘tapori’ kind of guy who wants to enjoy life on his own terms after being physically and mentally abused by an ambitious hawaldar father (Suhas Palshikar) who wants his son to be a Collector, but he turns out to be an academic failure. Fate leads Gangya to a college where he is appointed as a dance teacher but the principal (Dr.Girish Oak) is a strict disciplinarian who hates art forms like acting, dancing, etc. and believes that bookish learning is the only education for the young.
But, Gangya rebels against him and his ideas and in this fight loses his life. He comes back as a ghost and transforms Gandhe Sir into a caring, compassionate, fun loving person. The film in its first half seems to be inspired by films like ‘Sound Of Music’ and ‘Dead Poets Society’ and the latter half resembles the Salman Khan hit ‘Hello Brother’ and the Ashok Saraf’s hit ‘Ek Daav Bhootacha’.
Anyway, the film does entertain and the director duo Sandip Deshpande-Samir Naik make a good debut. The performance by Bharat Jadhav is one of his best in recent times. Dr.Girish Oak is a good choice. Vijay Chavan as ‘mama’ and Ganesh Divekar also produce laughters. Mangala Kenkre, Sia Patil, Nayan Jadhav, Vijay Kenkre, Ravindra Berde and guest actor Vinay Yedekar lend good support.
The cinematography by Sameer Athalye is a bit erratic with brightly lit scenes first and dull scenes later on. But the final product has good technical values. The music score by Pradeep Kunvar is tuneful and the lyrics by Samruddhi Pawar are good. The editing is a bit jerky. The choreography deserves a special mention.

‘ULADHAAL’ REVIEW
 |
Rating: ★★1/2
Producer: Vishwas Films Director: Aditya Sarpotdar Script, Screenplay, Dialogues: Rajesh Kolan,Vijay Patwardhan, Aditya Sarpotdar Camera: Sanjay Nair Music: Ajay-Atul Cast: Makarand Anaspure, Bharat Jadhav, Ankush Chaudhari, Siddharth Jadhav, Lokesh Gupte, Subodh Bhave, Madhura Movie Review by: Jitendra More |
Have you ever watched a Marathi movie with a perfect blend of all the genres of cinema? Well, veteran actors and directors concerned with the future of the industry do not have to worry anymore when there are directors like Aditya Sarpotdar coming up with debut movies like Ulaadhal.
The plot might look simple on paper but the way in which Sarpotdar connects the actors with the storyline is something that shapes up the movie.
Sayajirao’s (Makarand Anaspure) 250-year-old dhaal (shield), which has been safeguarded by generations is stolen by Guru (Subodh Bhave). Guru is helped by Sayajirao’s men after they are promised a share in the money that would come after selling off the dhaal. Guru, however, has other plans. He kills Sayajirao’s men but Baban (Lokesh Gupte) manages to save himself. He chases Guru, who is on his way to Goa to sell the dhaal.
When Sayajirao finds out the betrayal by his men, he determines to kill those who have been disloyal to him.
In Goa, Baban hires small thieves Vickey (Ankush Chaudhary), Bharat Jadhav and their partners in crime, Neha and Preeti (Aditi Sarangdhar and Madhura Velankar) to steal the dhal from Guru. While Sayajirao and his men get hold of Baban, Vickey and his partners fight out their nerves against the brutal Guru. Unable to find Baban, they decide to sell the dhal themselves. They ask Sikandar (Siddharth Jadhav), a dealer in selling stolen items to find a prospect buyer for the dhal. Sikandar ends up narrowing down on Guru. This is where the entire Ulaadhal or commotion begins.
The elements of a commercial cinema like the designer clothes and exotic locations of Goa and Mauritius take the movie a step ahead of the everyday movies. Scriptwriter Rajesh Kolan has maintained the seriousness, humour, and thrill that keep the logical element of the movie in place.
The lead actors Makarand Anaspure, Subodh Bhave, Bharat Jadhav and Ankush Chaudhary have given strong performances. Anaspure has moved nicely from his usual comic roles to a serious man-of-honour, who is proud of his family heritage and is ready to give his life to save the dhal. Bharat Jadhav and Siddharth Jadhav, as a Hydrabadi Kabadiwala add to the comedy element in the story. The appearances of Mahesh Manjrekar as an ‘item number’ and Nirmal Pandey as Tony are unnecessary but add to the glamour. What scores is the music by Ajay- Atul, the lyrics that have a fusion of Marathi, Hindi, and English words and the direction of Sarpotdar. All kudos to the Ulaadhal team.
GALGALE NIGHALE REVIEW

Rating: na
Presentor: Zee Talkies Company: Shree Sai Productions Producers: Bela Shinde Director: Kedar Shinde Music: Ashok Patki, Vaishali Samant Singer: Vaishali Samant Story, Screenplay, Dialogues: Mangesh Kulkarni Cast: Bharat Jadhav, Siddhart Jadhav, Ramesh Deo, Ketakee Thatte, Santosh Mayekar, Kamalakar Saatpute, Vithhal Umap, Sunil Ranade, Archana Gayakwar Movie Review by: Pradip Patil |
Zee talkies and Kedar Shinde, Bharat Jadhav as Galgale, a star cast consiting of Siddharth Jadhav, Ramesh Dev and Vitthal Umap. Everything about ‘Galgale Nighale…’ is Class one, so the expectations are sky high. But unfortunately, it turns out be one the worst films made in recent times. It’s really saddening to see so many talented people associated with such a bad film.
Kedar’s all previous films are known for sheer mind numbing energy which makes you overlook any illogicalities. But this time the film suffers from a lethargy that seems to have affected everyone associated with this movie. At certain times the film seems to take seriousness similar to that of RGV’s Sarkar and for the rest of times it reminds you of Akshay Kumar’s hit Welcome. But throughout those 2.15 hour, the film never finds its own form.
The film falters in every aspect. It has two of the most brilliant actors of current times and yet fails to take the full advantage. The weak story leads to even weaker screenplay. Even the maverick Kedar is out of form this time, It feels as if he has exhausted all his creativity. There are many moments in the cinema that will make you feel why someone even bothered to go ahead with such a silly thing. Characters make appearance for 5- 6 minutes and then disappear, only to reappear later on when you have almost forgotten about them. And I am not talking about secondary characters. All the main characters are treated similarly.
Initially it seems as if the film is attempting an exploration of Galgale’s world and why he behaves in an eccentric way, but this aspect is dealt with just a single scene and then focus shifts to mafia family and love story. There was ample scope to extract funny moments from the conflicts arising because of Galgale’s innocence and the mafia family, instead of that the film incorporates the murder mystery and that too a feeble one.
The intial one hour seems almost unnecessary, the script could have done without involving Galgale’s office in it. The characters and the
scenes from Galgale’s workplace make no worthy contribution to the film.The Galgale’s antics seems torturous after initial few moments.
It offers nothing new. Those who have already seen Galgale in Sahi Re Sahi will be disgusted and those who are watching him for first time will be bored.
The only moment when the film shows some spark is 5 minutes before the interval, when Galgale (Bharat Jadhav) reaches Gauri’s (Ketaki Thatte) house. But it’s just a false hope, the second half is equally bad as the first half. The movie is so dull that the viewers won’t be bothered about anything about that is happening on the screen till the climax is reached, which is infact good for Kedar. Whatever happens during those ending reels is simply ridiculous.
The acting is nothing to write about. Bhara Jadhav as confused Galgale offers nothing new. The rest of the cast is also OK. The dialogs are totally off the mark and add to it the Koli language, it becomes almost impossible to understand what’s happening. The background music is just cheap imitation of some hindi films. One of the song has so loud music track that it’s hard to comprehend the lyrics. Even the makeup seems amaturish.
To sum it up, skip this and wait till the director and his team find their form next time. It’s in the best interest of all !
‘MUMBAICHA DABBEWALA’ REVIEW
 |
Rating: ★★
Director: Manohar Sarvankar Writer: Pratap Gangawane Music: Ram-Laxshiman Singer: Usha Mangeshkar- Nandesh Upam-Sujan Art by: Anil Vat. Choreography: Dilip Mistry and Deepali Vichare Cast: Bharat Jadhav, Madhu Kambikar, Kuldeep Pawar, Vijay Chavan, Deepali Sayeed, Smita Gondkar, Vijay Gokhale, Subhash Palshikar, Jayant Wadka Movie Review by: Vijay Kudal |
Absolutely delightful movie portraying the dabbewalas of Mumbai and each aspect of their life. Though in Mumbai itself there were estimated 5,000 dabbewals and 2,00,000 customers and one six sigma certification not the rest India but Mumbai itself lacks grace in knowledge of this Dabbewala association and their work, work ethics, work culture. This movie satisfies all needs
Though fictional one but this story waves and spins through documentary aspect also, keeping tempo of events and balance of storyline.
Story starts with Normal introduction to characters like Namdeo (Bharat Jadhav) The dreamy boy and prominent dabbawala, after his father working in his same business line i.e. dabbewala owning the ‘Toli’
( company) of his mother (Madhu Kambiker) under management of his MAMA (Vijay Chavan), This simple person falls in love of Hema Lotterywali (Deepali Sayyad) Hema has own problems in life, drunken father and mobster mother, stills on his own finding way to earn money and trying to keep family bonds when her mother refuses to provide meal (Dabba) bharat gives his own tiffin and eats vadapav fro more than 6 months till accidentally Hema knows about it. He keeps that dabaa as Tajmahal, symbol of love but destiny awaits some thing more for him.
Also forming a triangle comes ani (Smita Gondkar) framing a documentary and real aspects of dabbewals ,their modus operandy and bridging this film from friction to facts The Boss (Kuldeep Pawar) is still cool in negative shade. Stealing atomic secrets whose spy actually hides CD containing atomic power plans ,where? in same tiffin box and well then routine starts (finding CD, kidnapping of heroine and climax battle)
Bharat is still green and steal hearts in his dream sequences specially when GOD vithal takes dabba from him. Newcomer Smita looks mod in glossy outfits Vijay Chavan and other makes us laugh at each pun.
Major highlight of this film is around 500 actual Mumbai dababwals are acted in it including Raghunath Medge. President of Nutan Mumbai Tiffin Box Supplier’s charity trust, all real life sets, shooting majorly on sundays to avoid disturbance in their work and still completed shooting in 25 days with all due research.
And yes, how many movies you have seen in which villain joins hero’s business? Glad to see such optimism.
Still some threads missing like what happened to captives of gangsters and parents of Hema. Item song of Sambhavna Seth was also boring one.
Well still it is unique movie which we better miss not.
‘SADE MAADE TEEN’ REVIEW

Rating: na
Presenter: Zee Talkies Producers: Anubhuti Art Director: Ankush Chaudhari – Sachit Patil Music: Ajit Parabh – Hrishikesh Kamerkar Cast: Ashok Saraf, Makarand Anaspure, Bharat Jadhav, Siddharth Jadhav, Amruta Khanvilkar, Sujata Joshi… Movie Review by: Nayana |
What do u get when you put together 3 brilliant marathi actors and give a Desi Tadka of oldie Chalti ka naam gaadi? Simple…! This makes a new massala movie in marathi. A few years back Mahesh Kothare tried such a Tadka in his “Dhumdhadaka’ which was based on ‘Pyar Kiye jaa’, and marathi movie industry rejuvenated. Else marathi film was stucked in a wicked savkar(money lander)/ jamindar(landowner) and sasurvashin/ saas bahu type, so called ‘bechari bahu’ , and overflowing buckets of tears with sobbing women coming out of the cinema halls. It was Mahesh Kothare (Dhumdhadaka) and Sachin Pilgaonkar’s (Navari mile navryala) efforts, which really dragged marathi film out of such stuff.
When one started speaking about marathi films 2types of reflex actions suddenly blown on – one is with twisting faces ‘We don’t like to watch marathi films’, and another one with a deep sigh ‘Gone those golden days of marathi films’!!
History repeated and aapale Sachit Patil and Ankush Chaudhary along with Zee talkies and Anubhuti Arts entered in film production with ‘Saade Maade Teen’. Na!! It’s not a remake or replica, but it’s a metamorphosis of the same theme bloomed in the marathi mati. Ofcourse, inspired from ‘Chalti ka nam Gadi’ one of Kishor Kumar’s debut film, the film is a rib-tickling comedy set against the backdrop of Garage, filled with ‘Ek ladki bhigi…’ type ‘barasat’ ka gana or may be ‘panch rupaiyya’ type, leading to hilarious situations!
While this film promises to be potential blockbuster this year, it also makes the launch of Zee Talkies brand.
The story is of 3 brothers- the family head ‘Dada’ (Ashok Saraf) and his 2 brothers Madan (Makarand Anaspure) and Chandan (Bharat Jadhav), running their Kurale garage. The younger duo never dares to go against dada’s wish. Dada is a character who hates female because of his first crush. A gal (Sukanya Kulkarni) betrayed him after a marriage proposal.
Obviously, when 2 gals enters in the life of the younger ones, the chaos evoked, and both caught in dilemma of the threat of Dada and emotional attachments. Here enters the Villain to create obstacle between the life of our dupe Chandan, and opulent Madhura. Now guess who help this couple? So after removing all the barricades, the smashing end of the film…
Sachit and Ankush played a safe game. Well, half battle was already won by casting these trios, and afterwards director didn’t allow Makarand and Bharat to rove from the basic storyline. Even they haven’t added their famous accent shown in other films and used them tactfully as never seen before.
A little but most important thing, if they could use the Ashok saraf’s caliber more effectively, as the role offered to him is less challengeable as compare to his capacity, the film would be definitely full 2 dhamal!!!
Else nothing to say about their fantastic tuning, understanding, and coordination. Instead our wise audience won’t accept such a dupe characters. Needless to say Minor mistake like winning applause by repeating same dialogue excusable!!
Dialogues by Sanjay Mone satisfy you. Well, its not a burst of laughter in fact the film doesn’t need it, but more sharp dialogues would keep the film at great height surely.
The directors have taken some kind of support of farcical comedy. The climax fighting comes in the form of farce. Of course no one expects smashing de danadan fighting as it is not an action film, but still…..missing something in this shot only. Otherwise the film takes you from smiling to chuckling and then giggling. Overall a fresh comedy!!!
Bakula Namdev Ghotale, Directed by Kedar Shinde
 |
Rating: ★★
Presenter: Shemaroo Entertainment Producer: Atul Maroo, Ketan Maru Director: Kedar Shinde Dialogue & Lyrics: Machindra More Music: Devdutt Sabale Cast: Bharat Jadhav, Siddharth Jadhav, Sonali Kulkarni, Vijay Chavan, Kushal Badrike, Ganesh Revdekar… Movie Review by: Pradip Patil |
Kedar Shinde and Shemaroo films continue their successful association with the latest movie ‘Bakula Namdev Ghotale’. To churn out 3 movies in the gap of 6 months, now that’s something interesting.
This time Kedar plays it safe by doing what he does best, That is directing a comdey. Yet there are few important things that show that he is indeed trying to do something new instead of sticking to the tried and tested path. So let’s have a look at those ‘different’ things.
First of all, This movie has Bharat Jadhav, but not as a hero. This time he is the bad guy.
Second and I think most important, it has Siddhart Jadhav in the role of protagonist, though he is not your typical hero material.
And last but not the least, this movie atleast deals with an issue which is much discussed these days, but let me tell you that’s not the main aim of this movie. Every new movie from Kedar raises the expectations high, so does his latest offering entertains? The answer is yes, but not as much as his earlier works.
The movie’s biggest drawback is it’s weak first half. The plot revolves around a newly wed couple Namdev (A forgetful simpleton), Bakula (Namya’s intelligent wife) and Ghotale (the wicked landlord). When Namya and Bakula come to Ghotale to take his blessing, Ghotale falls for Bakula and decides to win her at any cost. So he hatches a plan to kill namya. But namya survives the attack and returns home after few days. But its too late as the compensation money for Namya’s accidental death is about to be handed to bakula. So what games the couple play to make the most of the situation forms the rest of the story.
Unfortunately the first half drags on. The characters are effectively established but it could have been easliy achieved with less reels. The first half leaves viewers hoping for more action but nothing happens except few funny moments.
In the second half, Kedar has managed to salvage the movie and from there onwards it is total timepass. The second half is so well made that it actually makes you overlook the insipid first half. Full marks to the entire team for this. Ghaotale and Bakula’s efforts to outsmart each other keeps the audience entertained.
Devdatta Sabale’s music works pretty well. The movie has two lavani songs, both are picturised on gorgeous Resham Tipnis. The another duet song is really catchy and nicely picturised. I bet you will be humming it after the movie. Dialogs are funny and serve their purpose well.
Newcomer Sonali Kulkarni plays her part with confidence. Siddhart Jadhav is fun to watch and does justice to his role. Bharat Jadhav is excellent, Even though his character is picturised as funny for most of the part, he effectively portrays the mean and cunning shades of the character. I wonder why an actor like Vijay Chavan is wasted in such an insignificant role.
Bakula Namdev Ghotale has its own faults, but it does what it is supposed to do, that is to make you laugh.
BHARAT JADHAV
After the sad demise of Laxmikant Berde, Marathi film industry was in search of an actor with a perfect timing of comedy. At that time Bharat Jadhav was the most popular stage actor, with his play ‘Sahi Re Sahi’ creating new houseful records. Bharat was obviously the choice of Marathi film makers for their action- comedy films and most of the top film makers including Mahesh Kothare opted for him. A simple and down to earth person, Bharat was on a signing spree and managed to play lead roles in many successful films.
After release of ‘Shwaas’ the trend of Marathi films changed. But, there was always place for an actor like Bharat, who went on to perform even serious types of characters with authority. Watching him perform as an angry young man fighting against the existing education system in Mahesh Manjrekar’s film ‘Shikshanachya Aaicha Gho’, clearly indicated that Bharat was prepared to take on challenges through serious types of roles.
Bharat Jadhav With the biggest honour now coming in the form of State Film award in best actor category for his role in the film ‘Jhing Chik Jhing’. This film is now due for release, after being appreciated in various international film festivals, wherever it was shown. Bharat plays the role of a poor farmer in the cotton field from a small village in Maharashtra. For an actor like Bharat, who is so much dedicated to his profession; this is just a beginning.
Off the field, Bharat is a real gem of a person, always ready to cooperate with all those who approach him with offers. Even after entering films, Bharat hasn’t stopped performing on stage and TV serials. ‘The show must go on'; no matter whether it is small screen, big screen or stage, seems to be his attitude.
One should closely watch his sense of humour, whenever he attends private functions. The manner in which he communicates with the audience with spontaneity, speaks about his gifted nature to interact with people so closely at any given time.
Recently, he walked in as a last minute special guest for the music CD release of Marathi Rock star Mangesh Borgaonkar’s new album. When Bharat was invited on stage, there was a big demand coming from audience to dance on the music. When Bharat saw that the audience was not keeping quiet, he told them to remain silent at once; or else, he would start singing in his own voice and that they would have to tolerate him. His timely joke did work well and Bharat after speaking a few words released the CD. Indeed, it is very difficult to find a simple and wonderful person in the field of entertainment. MMW congratulates him on winning the Best actor State Film award.
