The bravery of Great Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is known to all through the history books. Writer- director Digpal Lanjekar had earlier made a Marathi film ‘Farzand’ based on Kondaji Farzand one of the warriors in Shivaji Maharaj’s army. This time, the creative writer-director rewinds the first surgical attack by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj through his latest Marathi film ‘Fatteshikast’ which is also a realistic historical period drama. Through this film, Digpal presents the most important episode in Shivaji Maharaj’s life, covering his brave attack on ShaisteKhan, the general in Mughal army, who had captured his Lal Mahal in Pune.
Digpal Lanjekar presents this daring first surgical attack in the Indian history, very effectively through this film. But, before that he shows some of the incidences leading to this attack, including the atrocities by Shahiste Khan and his men on the people in and around Pune. This well planned attack was cleverly executed by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj along with his brave commanders like Tanaji Malusare, Bahirji Naik, Sarjerao Jedhe, Koyaji Bandal, Chimnaji and others with the help of Keshar who posed as a domestic help in the kitchen and dasi who attended ShahisteKhan’s daughter n law .
The film gives an idea of the perfect planning by the Great Maratha King before preparing for this attack during mid night hours, based on the information gathered by him through his people on secret mission, about the changes made inside the Lal Mahal. It is just not about the surgical strike on Shahiste Khan but also about their pre planned escape within a given time, to avoid facing the huge army on duty outside his place .
Talking about the performances, which are so important in this film, Mrinal Kulkarni who has played the character of Jijamata inspires the other artistes around her with her perfect dialogue deliveries and body language. Chinmay Mandlekar as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is impressive through all those scenes to his share. But, the artist who impresses the most is Harish Dudhade, who has found the most important role of Bahirji Naik. He has plenty of scope to display his multi talent in different forms. Mrunmayee Deshpande also finds a suitable challenging role of Kesar and she too has done full justice to her character. Versatile actor Ajay Purkar who seems to be the favourite of the director has also been offered an important character of Tanaji Malusare. Vikram Gaikwad, Akshay Waghmare, Ankit Mohan, Nikhil Raut , Digpal himself and others also find interesting characters.
At the same time in the Mughal team, Anup Soni presents the character of Shahistekhan effectively. He finds good support from his deputies Sameer Dharmadhikari as Namdar Khan & Astad kale as Artalab Khan in negative roles. What is good is that all these artistes from Mughal team speak good Hindi and Urdu when they communicate among themselves and others. Special mention about the beautiful cinematography at different locations by Rashmi Sarkar and brilliant music by Devdatta Manisha Baji, Not to forget the apt English subtitles by Virajas Kulkarni.
‘Fatteshikast’ is certainly a grand film with a lot of attention paid on selection of realistic locations, costumes, art design and above all the selection of renowned artistes for all those important characters in this film. So, the technical perfection and wonderful performances coming from these artistes makes this film a worth watch for all.

New Marathi film ‘Copy’ throws light on disorganised education system at Taluka level

We are all aware, how the Government insists on the head count besides the passing percentage, to enable the schools from Taluka level in Maharashtra to receive the Government grant. Now, to check whether this grant received from Government is properly used for running such schools, it all depends upon the inspection carried out by the Inspectors of Education department. Not always the school authorities can manage such Visiting Inspectors. If an honest Inspector pays a surprise visit to a particular school and exposes the irregularity, it only results in stopping the grant and ultimately the closure of school.
Through the latest released Marathi film ‘Copy’ writer- directors Dayasagar Wankhede and Hemant Dhabade have thrown light on the disorganised education system followed in one of the schools, especially at the Taluka level . Very cleverly they have shown how the trustees of the schools manipulate the administrative procedure by blocking the salaries of teachers and encourage some of the teachers to run the private coaching classes and with their help allow the children to ‘copy’ during the final exams, to inflate the result percentage of the school.
But, what about those sincere committed teachers and the poor students from villages, who walk down miles to reach the school at taluka level and who work hard and are willing to study honestly with dreams in their eyes? So, through the characters of two committed teachers namely Anshuman Vichare and Jagannath Nivangune they have presented the scenario of a secondary school run by a corrupt Trustee who is also a politician. At the same time, he shows how a selfish senior teacher played by Milind Shinde, besides teaching in this school, also runs a private coaching academy , with the help of few teachers from the school. And above all, with the help of three poor children from the families of Brick kiln workers , they have shown how the corrupt system affects their dreams.
Though the method adopted by the film makers is not very appealing, they do succeed in conveying the message to all. The directors have also highlighted the importance of offering education to girls, which is very timely. There are few shortcomings in the screenplay, which has kept the two protagonist teachers always at the receiving end with no hope for their efforts to change the system. Even the closing scene aims at the people watching the film and for tolerating the exploitative educational system.
The three students played by Pratik Lad, Adnesh Madushingarkar & Shraddha Sawant from poor background have performed well, clearly showing their desire to take education in spite of financial constraints. However the other students shown in the class don’t look natural. Among the teachers, Anshuman Vichare and Jagannath Nivangune display their potential through different type of roles. However, their characters haven’ found enough scope. It is Milind Shinde through his negative character finds more scope. Good support comes from Kamlesh Sawant in the role of an upright education inspector. Music isn’t very engaging, but cinematography by Santonio Terzio is the best, covering the beautiful rural locations in and around Pen taluka area in Raigad district off Mumbai.
