Now, ‘Aapla Talkies’ also joins to offer Marathi movies 24X7
We already have few TV channels like Zee Talkies & Maiboli , offering Marathi Movies round the clock. But now, there is addition of one more channel, to offer old classic and latest Marathi movies, 24×7 on Marathi television. At present, this channel is available on few service providers. But, it is expected to expand its network soon. Earlier, the name of this channel was different, but now, we understand that , they have finalized it as ‘Aapla Talkies’.
By the way, Zee Talkies will telecast world premiere of Marathi film ‘Carry On Maratha’ which was released just four months ago. And, that is a big news. But, Colors Marathi channel is also presenting TV World Premiere of another hit film ‘Balkadu’ coming Sunday i.e.13th December 2015 at 12 noon and 7 pm. Incidentally, ‘Balkadu’ was also released early this year. So, henceforth one thing is clear that the home viewers will get to see new Marathi films, within 4 to 10 months from their release date. However, home viewers are more keen to see some award winning films, instead of commercial films. Best example was that of ‘Zing Chik Zing’ which was recently shown on Maiboli channel.
Now days, there is lot of importance given to marriage ceremonies in TV serials. We have seen this happen in many TV serials in the recent past. Now, ‘Nanda Saukhyabhare’ on Zee Marathi, is getting ready to show the marriage of Neel and Swanandi , in a two hour long episode on coming Sunday. There is another marriage of Ishaan & Gauri also on the cards, in another TV serial ‘Tumcha Aamcha Same Asata’ non Star Pravah. And, how can we forget the most awaited marriage between Yash and Jui in ‘Asa Saasar Surekh Bai’ on Colors Marathi ? One thing is sure that both these marriages are sure to take place, as per the traditional practice followed by our serial makers. Now, how long they will take, depends upon the patience of the viewers.
The two Marathi serials, i.e. ‘Runji’ on Star Pravah and ‘Kamla’ on Colors channel, which started off well, are now tasting the patience of the viewers, with such events taking place , which are not at all convincing. Instead of watching such serials, it is better to watch some new subjects on social issues, presented by Doordarshan Sahyadri channel.
Zee Marathi are getting ready to introduce another love story, through their forthcoming serial ‘Pasant Aahe Mulgi’. However, which serial it will replace, is not known yet. Actually, it’s high time ‘Honar Suun Mi Hya Gharchi’ says Good Bye, after the delivery of Janhavi. But, we will have to wait and see, whether this will happen.

‘DD Sahyadri’ gearing up for Prime Time competition
In spite of competition faced from private channels, Doordarshan Sahyadri channel is trying to make its presence felt, among section of people, living in some cities and rural areas of Maharashtra. Till now, Doordarshan had not tapped the prime time slots for their serials, during the past several years. But, now they are all set to introduce nine new serials, on different subjects and with well known artistes, during the prime time 8pm to 10 pm.daily.
Among the new serials, prominent among them will be ‘Maati Kokanchi Naati Janmachi’ which is targeted at youngsters from Konkan. Then, there are other social issues presented through story based serials like ‘Pashanpati’ and period serial ‘Sushilecha Dev’ based on the novel of Waman Malhar Joshi. There will be family serials like ‘Vachanbaddh’, ‘Goshta Umaltya Manachi’ and ‘Sangarsh Milanacha’ to inspire the women. To entertain the children, there will be an interesting serial like ‘Bunty Television.
We also understand that actress Aishwarya Narkar will also be presenting series of stories through her new serial ‘Chitrakathi’, based on the literature of well known writers, under the banner of her new production company ‘Aishwarya Arts’. For those, who love to watch detective serials, DD Sahyadri will be presenting interesting murder mysteries, detected through their serial ‘Anakalniya’. Now, it will be interesting to see, how these serials will compete with other ongoing Marathi serials on private channels ? But, one thing is sure, that DD Sahyadri is ready for it, as the subjects they have picked up, are very interesting .
Now, talking about the new arrivals on private channels, there was big hope from Bharat Jadhav show on Colors channel. But, their initial episodes were not very appealing. They need to focus more on good scripting.
In ‘Majhe Pati Soubhagyavati’ there was a lot of time wasted in preparing Vaibhav Mangale in the make up of an actress, for the photo shoot. The scene, in which Vaibhav hesitating to be free, in presence of actor Ashok Shinde , for the photo shoot, wasn’t very convincing. Being a professional actor, there was no need to show him feeling shy, in front of another male actor. One could understand his awkwardness in presence of the hair dresser, but not the male lead actor. Moreover, it is observed that the exchange of dialogues between Ramesh Bhatkar and Ashok Shinde, are repeated several times, with the same expressions given by both.
What was interesting to watch during the week, was the gripping story split in three episodes, in ‘Asmita’ on Zee Marathi. But, showing the parallel investigation carried out by ‘Asmita’ to prove her ‘father in law guilty’ in the murder of her father, only diverted the interest from the ongoing case of fake Income tax Officers.
Live telecast or Limited telecast?
Last week, on an invitation from MNS chief Raj Thackeray, many celebrities from Mumbai had responded, by taking part in a debate on proposed ‘Mumbai Development Plan’ by the state government. It was called a non political debate. Almost all Marathi news channels started showing the Live Telecast of the so called meeting, attended by prominent personalities like Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Javed Akhtar, Salim Khan, Riteish Deshmukh, Bharat Dabholkar, Dilip Vengsarkar, well known architect and town planner P.K.Das and many other artistes from Marathi entertainment industry.
But, after the introductory speech of Raj Thackeray, Mr. P. K. Das was called upon to brief the participants, on how wrong was the proposed plan. But, surprisingly, the so called live telecast, was suddenly stopped by all these channels. Later, when some of the channels showed the reactions of the celebrities, it became clear that they were in agreement with what Mr. P. K. Das had said. But, what P. K. Das said about the plan, was not known to the viewers. But, through the statements made by some celebrities, it became clear that they had opposed the proposed plan, especially the construction of car shed in city’s green belt in Aarey Colony.
In fact, what Mr. P.K.Das’ presented through visual display on screen and what he had suggested, was disclosed by other news websites later; but, the TV news viewers were deprived of this most important speech of Mr. Das. Instead of showing his speech, the news channels gave preference to the news on AAP party politics, which was not so relevant to people in Mumbai and Maharashtra. And, that was a big disappointment for the Marathi TV viewers.
Sometimes, while watching the advertisements of Hindi TV programmes on some Marathi channels, we fail to understand, why such programme ads are shown on Marathi channels? It is a clear indication that the Hindi entertainment channels are trying to invite more and more new Marathi viewers, to see their programmes too ? If it is so, then our Marathi entertainment channels, will have to offer quality entertainment, so as to retain their viewership .
With the new colorful look taken by an existing Marathi channel, our Grand old Doordarshan’s Sahyadri channel is also preparing to make its presence felt. It is understood that Mr. Mukesh Sharma has till date, successfully managed to introduce many new interesting Marathi entertaining programmes. And, they are receiving good response, to some of these programmes which were introduced during the past few months. But, now the news is that something more interesting will be offered by the national channel, for Marathi viewers. So, do switch on to this channel too, for a change.
E-TV to turn ‘Colors Marathi’ soon
The big news on Marathi Small Screen entertainment is that Viacom 18, which is a big media company in entertainment field, will be taking over ETV under their new banner Colors -Marathi. As a result of this, from the coming Gudhi Padwa day, we will find Marathi entertainment turning more colourful. On the very next day of their launch, Colors-Marathi will present a big awards event, which was sponsored by them outside India.
On the other side, Zee Marathi channel is all set to present their new serial ‘Dil Dosti Duniyadari’, which is targeted at young audience. This new serial is about six friends Kaivalya, ashutosh, Sujay, Aana ,Minal & Reshma. The serial is produced by popular cinematographer-director Sanjay Jadhav’s ‘Dreaming Twenty Four Seven’ company and is all set to air on 9th March at a new time 10.30 pm. Vinod Lavekar is the director of this serial.
By the way, if Zee Marathi has to compete with new programmes expected to be offered by Colors-Marathi, it has to seriously think about new subjects during prime time. It is high time to say goodbye to serials like ‘Honar Sunn Mi Hya Gharchi’ and ‘Julun Yeti Reshimgathi’ as both these serials have failed to appeal during the past few weeks.
On the eve of International Women’s day, DD-Sahyadri presented a very good informative programme ‘Hello Sakhi’, in which we saw Meghana Erande sharing her valuable experience in the field of Voice over and dubbing. Meghana appealed to all newcomers to train themselves in this field, as career wise it was a good option. According to her, for all those aspiring actors, knowledge of Voice Over and dubbing, is a must.
On TV 9 Marathi, we saw actress Kranti Redkar expressing her frank views on women’s rights. “I am myself fighting for my rights against a media company, filing defamation case against them. Every month I go and attend the hearing, because I feel that no one should take a woman for granted,” she said. When asked for a message to other women, she said, “Every woman has to strike a balance. On the contrary, If she is too much submissive, she cannot do justice to herself.”
