Is Saurabh Gokhale turning the new angry young man of Marathi cinema ?
Having proved his mettle on Marathi stage and television, during the past few years, Saurabh Gokhale has now established himself in Marathi cinema. We saw his angry young man image in award winning film ‘Partu‘. Earlier, he had played a Police officer in the film ‘Yoddha‘. And now, he plays an important role of Subodh Bhave’s brother in the new film ‘Bho Bho‘ which is released recently.
Saurabh plays a real angry young man in the film ‘Bho Bho‘ and has enough scope to once again make his presence felt, in this suspense filled thriller. With this performance, he has indicated that he can be considered as the new angry young man of Marathi cinema. In this film, Saurabh’s wife Anuja is playing his sister in law and there are few scenes, where there are heated arguments between the two. After ‘Bho Bho‘ Saurabh’s next film will be ‘Page 4′ and there is one more film in the pipeline. He is also doing a Marathi play, to keep himself active on Marathi stage. But, don’t think, he will return to television, unless there is a role, most suited to him.

“Dogs do speak, but only those who love them, can understand their language.” Latest released Marathi film ‘Bho Bho‘, produced and directed by Bharat Gaikwad, is the best example to show, how a dog lover private detective, investigates an unusual complicated murder case, where a pet dog is alleged to have murdered his lady owner.
An ex Police Officer Vyankatesh Bhonde ( Prashant Damle) expert in detecting cyber crimes, had to quit his job, because he is traumatized, due to shocking accidental death of his little daughter. To forget his grief, he feeds the street dogs and earns some income, by working as private detective, for an agent PD ( Sanjay Mone). While working on one unusual case connected with an insurance claim made by Prof. Vinayak Bhadarkar ( Subodh Bhave) , he smells something fishy.
When Vyankatesh Bhonde detects this case, in his own style, he first visits Sandy, the pet dog of the family kept under observation in a veterinary hospital. But, he finds him normal. Knowing the behaviour of the dogs well, he can’t believe that Sandy has attacked and killed Ms. Sandhya Bhandarkar ( Anuja Sathe) without any provocation. Bhonde gets totally involved into this case, as he also wants to save the life of Sandy and at the same time keep a close watch on Vinayak Khanolkar, his short tempered younger brother Vikram( Saurabh Gokhale), the Veterinary doctor at animal hospital Dr.Dalvi ( Sharad Ponkshe) & the hospital attendant Tanavade ( Kishore Chougule). And, he gets timely help from Jr. Doctor Neha ( Ketaki Chitale). Initially Bhonde’s disturbed wife( Ashwini Ekbote) is unhappy with his working style, but, later she too supports his mission. Finally, Vyankatesh Bhonde succeeds in solving the case and in the climax, we notice the Police reopening the case for court trial.
Director Bharat Gaikwad has very efficiently handled this entire drama, making it an interesting detective thriller. The choice of Prashant Damle to play the lead role, is perfect. Prashant has given full justice to his role, as this is also his comeback film in lead role after 17 years. In three important close up scenes, he has displayed his emotions very aptly. Through his peculiar dialogue delivery, he generates spontaneous humour on many occasions, be it while dealing with Vinayak, Vikram, Dr.Desai, agent PD, insurance company officials or their lawyers. In short, he has given his best, so as to be reckoned for the best actor’s award. Natural performances also come from Subodh Bhave, Sanjay Mone, Sharad Ponkshe, Ashwini Ekbote, Anuja Sathe, Ketaki Chitale and Saurabh Gokhale. Among them, Saurabh Gokhale makes his presence felt, with his angry young man image. Good support also comes from many other character artistes, through their small but effective roles.
For any detective film, cinematography and background music play a very important role. In ‘Bho Bho‘ we find good work done by Anil Chandel through his excellent camera work and appropriate background music provided by Parth Bharat Thakkar. There are no songs in this 1 hour 50 minute long film, except for one well presented title song towards the end. Good editing work by Mukesh Timori is also another plus point of this film. All in all, ‘Bho Bho‘ is an entertaining suspense filled detective thriller, with an emotional touch. Don’t miss it. It’s a worth watch.

Had to explain them about every scene and only then received those permissions. All locations in my film are new and I am sure, the Marathi film lovers are going to love this film, for its unique subject,” concluded Bharat.
