The nude figure is a traditional Western art. Actually, a ‘nude’ is a work of fine art which has its primary subject as unclothed human body. Using this form of art, film maker Ravi Jadhav has presented his latest released Marathi film ‘Nude‘.
It may be recalled that Marathi film makers who are known for offering unconventional subjects through their films, have never compromised on their story line, if they want to offer something very realistic. And therefore, new Marathi film ‘Nude‘ is the best example. This film presents a touching tale, which shows how a helpless woman Yamuna (Kalyanee Mulay) leaves her village along with her son, to get rid of her abusive husband, who regularly sleeps with another woman.
Yamuna lands in Mumbai at her aunt’s Chandrakka ( Chhaya Kadam) place, who works as a sweeper at J.J. School of Arts for the past 18 years; but actually she also poses as a nude model for senior batch of students, who are required to draw such paintings as part of their syllabus. Chandrakka does this, as her husband loses his job in a mill. Soon Yamuna, who is also in search of a job, comes to know about Chandrakka’s work. Initially she does not approve this kind of work, but when Chandrakka convinces her that it is safe, she too agrees to play Nude model, for the sake of her son, whom she wants to offer best education.
Time comes, when Chandrakka’s son attains teenage, and he too shows his skills in drawing. So, Yamuna sends him to Aurangabad for studies, as she doesn’t want him to join the college, where she plays nude model. To meet the rising expenses of her son’s education, Yamuna starts taking up private assignments for renowned painters. A student from the college who later turns a lecturer( Om Bhutkar) accompanies her for such assignments, at her request. One such renowned painter is played by Naseeruddin Shah, whose character resembles a former celebrity painter , who was banned from entering India due to controversy over drawing nude paintings .
The film reaches at an interesting stage, when Yamuna expects her son to understand the sacrifice of his mother in offering him good education. But, does that really happen? The director has kept the audience guessing. He unveils the answer in the climax, which regular film goers may not like. But, art film lovers will surely appreciate this conclusion, for its realistic touch. Performances in ‘Nude‘ film by lead artistes are simply top class. Both Kalyanee Mulay and Chhaya Kadam have impressed through their characters. They have received good support from Shrikant Yadav, Om Bhutkar, Madan Deodhar & others. Kishore Kadam and Neha Joshi are namesake in this film, with nothing much to do. What is highly impressive is the superb cinematography by Amalendu Choudhary, who has brought liveliness in every frame shot by him skillfully. A fine support also comes from music and sound design.
As suggested through the title, there is nothing vulgar in this film. In fact, this film sends across a strong message through artistic presentation.
