We had heard about Marathi films making progress, with more and more filmmakers coming forward to make Marathi films.  Last year, the number of Marathi films released had crossed the hundred mark. Which means that on an average, there were two Marathi films released every Friday. And, this year, it indicates that the figure will touch 150 mark. In the first month of this year, after watching 3 films released till now, we are expecting at least a dozen of films more, to be released by end of this month. Now, this is good or bad for the progress of Marathi films, the audience will have to decide.

Coming Friday, there are with as many as 5 Marathi films to be released on the same day. They are, ‘Chiranjeev’, ‘Shasan’, ‘702 Dixits’, ‘Chahato Mi Tula’ & ‘Friends’. Now, isn’t that a new record ? Because, all these 5 films are either having popular stars or are big banners. ‘Chiranjeev’ which is directed by Ramesh More has Bharat Jadhav, Alka Kubal Athlye and other well known artistes and banks on its script. Gajendra Ahire’s film ‘Shasan’ also stars Bharat Jadhav along with other big stars and is a multi starrer political thriller.

There is a teenage love story made by Vishal Puwar with newcomers along with Shruti Marathe , Prasad oak and others and is presented by Bollywood producer Bharat Shah. Then, there is a mystery filled Marathi film ‘702 Dixits’, which has also raised expectations, as the first look of this film is well presented. Moreover, the film has Gauri Nigudkar , a popular face from Hindi TV serials and ‘Classmates’ fame Pallavi Patil along with talented Vijay Andalkar in the lead. This film is directed by Shankh Rajadhyaksha.

And, finally, much talked about ‘Friends’ is also releasing on coming Friday, with popular south Indian film maker R.Madhesh making his debut in Marathi. With Swapnil Joshi, Sachit Patil & Gauri Nalawade together in the lead, there are big hopes from this film too. But, the big question still remains, how these films are going to share the screens among themselves? With ‘Natasamrat’ still going strong and drawing more crowds, with ‘word of mouth’ publicity, there is little hope from cinema halls, removing this film. Someone’s gain, is the loss to others. Isn’t it ? But, let’s wait for the audience reaction, this weekend.
