In the past there have been many films on power games played by Politicians when it was for gaining or retaining power. Films like ‘Samana’, ‘Sinhasan’, ‘Sarkarnama’, ‘Zenda’, ‘Aajcha Diwas Majha’ and few others have presented different subjects on the backdrop of this power game in politics. Now, latest released film written by Kshitij Patwardhan and Directed by Sameer Vidwans shows how the power game can split the family of a popular Village Sarpanch Nivrrutti Anna Ubhe, after his sad demise.
Set on the backdrop of a Village-Ambegaon in rural Maharashtra, the film has shown how the selfish people including MLA of the district try to prevent the eldest son Navnath ( Ankush Chaudhari) from contesting the election to carry forward the family tradition. But, he finds the clever game played by MLA( Sabnis) to declare the constituency reserved for women and suggesting the name of his step mother (Alka Kubal) by supporting her for his own political gains. If this is not enough, his otherwise ambitious sister in law Monica (Sonalee) is also convinced to contest by their family’s rival Gadhve( Prasad Oak) . Navnath has no other option but to request his obedient wife Harshada ( Sai Tamhankar) to jump into the fray , making it a triangular contest within the family.
So, the real fight which begins, is witnessed only in the second half of this about 169 minutes long film, when all the interesting happenings take place one after the other. A lot of time has thus been wasted in the first half to show how the outsiders get involved with their dirty political games to split the family. What is remarkable to see, is the strong bonding in spite of the split noticed through some of the emotion filled scenes. There are few twists and turns in the film, including the climax, but what appeals the most are the dialogues exchanged between them by the important characters at different situations.
Veteran actress Alka Kubal is at her best . Ankush Choudhari displays his commitment to social work through his powerful character. Sai Tamhankar does very well , especially when she presents ‘Bharud’ during her election campaign. Sonalee has played the ambitious woman taking it as a challenge. Siddharth does well in his role of a lazy and happy go lucky husband, while Amey Wagh gets his share to show his skills through his ‘not so easy’ character. In the role of family’s opponents Prasad Oak dos well, while Umesh Kamat has very little to his share.
There is no scope for music in this film, but the clever cinematography captures the perfect village atmosphere and close up expressions of every important character very well. Full marks to all the artistes for their wonderful performances and to director Sameer for handling all those important scenes with the help of writer Khsitij . All in all, it is good political based timely film, but should have been shortened lengthwise, especially in the first half.
