‘1234’ attempts something different to offer an unusual thriller
Marathi film makers are applying new techniques through their films, to make them more presentable. Latest released Marathi film ‘1234’ falls in this category. Directed by Milind Arun Kavde, this film is a action filled thriller, which presents happening of four different events around the same time, on a particular day and the connection of different characters with each other.
The film begins with a song picturised on Rahul ( Bhushan Pradhan) and his girl friend Priya ( Priya Marathe), to indicate their love affair, little before Rahul sets his journey , to report as a Junior Doctor at a Mental Hospital. Then, we notice how he is trapped after reporting there, in the company of starangers. The worried brother of Rahul ( Pradeep Patwardhan) and his sister in law ( Vishakha Subhedar) go to the police station to lodge a complaint about kidnapping of Rahul and demand of a huge sum for his release. It is almost the same time, we notice a helpless Dhanajyay( Sanjay Narvekar) pleading before the Hospital Dean( Yatin Karyekar) to save his father’s life, who is to be operated. In another incident, Super star Abhijit is worried about his wife and little child, as he receives a threat from Underworld and at the same time, there is trouble faced by film maker ( Sanjay Mone) as his production controller Aziz bhai is in love with the film’s actress ( Teja Deokar), who is actually in relationship with another person.
Very skilfully through the film’s screenplay, the director has managed to present the events, turn by turn; but in the process, a person who comes to watch the film, with the sole intention of entertainment, is likely to get confused, if he is not alert throughout the film. But, for action film lovers, ‘1234‘ is a treat to watch. The film does pass a social message, about the exploitation of the people by the administration, in the name of development. It does throw light on compensation, which has not been paid to the displaced people and firing by Police, on the mob demanding their right. Towards the end of the film, we find social activist Anna Hazare making a statement on injustice to the people displaced, in the name of development. In the end, the film maker also gives a hint that there will be a sequel of this film.
There are many twists in the screenplay, which surprise the audience. But, it would not be proper to disclose the same. This experiment has been tried in one of the Bollywood films few years ago. Camera work is superb. Not much scope for music, except for the first song on Bhushan and Priya. But, back ground music is appealing. Camera work is superb. To enjoy this film, the viewer has to follow the sequences with full attention on every happenning. The lead pair Bhushan & Priya don’t find much scope in this film, as there are about 26 important characters, who also find limited roles to their share. But, some of the artistes have tried their best to entertain the audience. New camera technique has been tried for the first time in Marathi, for which the efforts of the film maker are to be appreciated. The film has about 26 important characters, who are part of four different events. Barring few errors, ‘1234‘ is certainly a worth watch film, for those who love action filled thrillers.
Producer director Anil Waghmare to present a suspense filled horror film ‘Bhutkaal’
Suspense filled horror films are not regularly seen in Marathi, compared to Hindi films. But, still some Marathi film makers feel that such films do find good audience. No wonder, Producer director Anil Waghmare under the banner of Sairaj Media, is presenting a new Marathi film titled ‘Bhutkaal’
The film also offers a fresh pair of chocolate boy Bhushan Pradhan and versatile actress Hemangi Kavi Dhumal together for the first time. The story of the film revolves around a young boy , a science student; who visits his native place during vacation, but comes across some strange happenings. The suspense of this film unfolds in picturesque Konkan area. According to the makers of this film, their film banks on beautiful photography, fine performances and special effects used to create an impact on the audience. The title of the film clearly suggests that it has something to do with the past life.

‘Coffee Aani Barach Kahi’ offers refreshing flavor
Genres: Romantic
Censor: U
Duration: 120 Min.
Studio/presenter: Everest Entertainment, Ravi Jadhav Films, A White Swan Production
Producer: Prakash Kunte, A Motionspace entertainment
Director: Prakash Kunte
Writer: Aditi Moghe
Dialogues: Aditya Bedekar
Cast: Vaibhav Tatwawadi, Prarthana Behere, Bhooshan Pradhan, Neha Mahajan, Suyash Tilak, Dilip Prabhawalkar, Vidhyadhar Joshi, Ashiwni Ekbote, Sandesh Kulkarni, Suhas Joshi, Ila Bhate
True love never needs the expression of words. But, in certain cases, ‘love‘ does not materialize into ‘marriage’, unless it is expressed both ways. Prakash Kunte’s latest Marathi film ‘Coffee Aani Barach Kahi‘ presented by Everest Entertainment and Ravi Jadhav , has one such refreshing love story to offer, with a different flavor blended with love. Set on the backdrop of Pune city, the hub of IT industry, the film’s love story revolves around beautiful Jaai (Prarthana Behere) and smart and handsome Nishad (Vaibhav Tatwawadi) working in the same office.
Actually, Nishad in the team leader of his department and Jaai, who is a new recruit, joins his team. Soon, they start liking each other. But, both of them are unable to express their love to each other. While Jaai has understanding parents (Vidyadhar Joshi & Ashwini Ekbote) and a naughty but smart thinking younger sister Aabha ( Neha Mahajan), Vaibhav lives with his father ( Avinash Narkar) who is lonely, but always supportive.
Time comes, when Jaai’s parents think seriously about her marriage. They ask Jaai, whether she is already in relationship with anyone. Confused about her love, Jaai denies any such relationship; which encourages her father to invite his old family friend to their house along with their only son Anish ( Bhooshan Pradhan) . He suggests Jaai to check whether Anish would be a suitable match for her. Jaai, who doesn’t believe in arranged marriage , does confess to Anish, about her ideas of love and marriage. While she narrates all the recent happenings to Anish, the director goes on to show all her interactions with Nishad, Aabha and her parents.
At the same time, the director shows Nishad’s interactions with his close friend (Suyash Tilak), Abhyankar , the Coffee shop owner( Sandesh Kulkarni) and his dear father. He also shows, how Nishad tactfully avoids a girl suggested by his friend’s mother. Later, he shows the same girl, meeting Nishad in coffee shop with her ‘would be’ found through arranged marriage. In one more scene, he shows an old couple celebrating their Golden Jubilee marriage anniversary, in the same coffee shop, where Nishad is a silent observer.
Though some of the sequences are bit confusing; the creativity of the director is to be highly appreciated, while presenting this delightful love story. Generally, all love stories, need good music. But, in this film, the director has paid more attention on beautiful background music, to create an ambiance, required for this story . Coffee shops being the favourite spots of the young generation, the director has selected one such garden coffee house, to add that special flavor to this well presented love story. The costumes of Prarthana and Neha are just apt, to indicate their family’s higher middle class status.
‘Coffee Aani Barach Kahi’ scores on account of its neat and clean appearance, with natural brilliant performances by four youngsters namely Vaibhav Tatwawadi, Prarthana Behere, Bhooshan Pradhan and Neha Mahajan. They have received good support from character artistes Suyash Tilak, Anita Date, Anuja Sathe, Vidyadhar Joshi, Ashwini Ekbote, Ila Bhate, Avinash Narkar, Sandesh Kulkarni, Dilip Prabhavalkar and Suhas Joshi. Well suited dialogues help add that special flavor to this coffee, which is simply fabulous. Good photography by Arjun Sorte is another plus point of the film.
Most of the youngsters will correlate themselves with different characters in this film. Those understanding and liberal Parents would also connect well with the characters played by Vidyadhar Joshi, Ashwini Ekbote , Avinash Narkar and Ila Bhate. In short, this ‘Coffee’ offers a refreshing flavor, which will surely be appreciated by all Marathi film lovers.
Get ready to witness ‘Love & much more’ coming Friday
There cannot be an end to films based on Love Stories. Coming Friday, there are three such releases, which are based on ‘Love’. Now, ‘Love’ has been defined by many filmmakers till date, in their own way. Prakash Kunte wants to offer his creation, linked with a cup of coffee, suitably using the title of his film ‘Coffee Aani Barach Kahi’. At the same time, creative director Santosh Mainkar has set Goa , as the backdrop for his love story, ‘Prem at First Sight’. But, Dr.Mrunalini Patil through her film ‘Kay Raav Tumhi’ has other plans , which revolves around three senior citizens young at heart, trying to win the heart of a young girl.
Actually, all these films have different subjects. While ‘Prem at First Sight’ will be targeting the audience from Goa as well as Maharashtra, ‘Coffee Aani Barach Kahi’ is perhaps banking on major cities of Maharashtra. However, ‘Kay Raav Tumhi’ is likely to offer comedy generated through this ‘Shaukeen’ style of love story.
‘Prem at First Sight’ has a team of youngsters including Sumaydh Gaikwad, Shweta Pagar, Suchet Gavai, Sameeksha Desai and others, ‘Coffee Aani Barach Kahi’ has Prarthana Behere, Vaibhav Tatvawadi, Bhooshan Pradhan and Neha Mahajan in the lead. ‘Kay Raav Tumhi’ has an interesting team of young and old, comprising of Ravindra Mahajani, Satish Pulekar , Yatin karyekar ,glamorous Niyati Joshi, along with Pankaj Dhome and Bollywood actress Shital Singh. Now, it will be interesting to watch , which love story attracts maximum response.
