Suyog Gorhe to play lead role in Hemant Dhome’s next ‘Satarcha Salman’
As a screenplay and dialogue writer he first came to prominence through 2012 film ‘Satarangi Re’. Originally a stage actor, perhaps he was more keen on direction. But, he turned into comedy with some notable performances in films like ‘Kshanbhar Vishranti’, ‘Aandhali Koshimbir’, ‘Kaay Rao Tumhi’, ‘Bus Stop’, ‘Poshter Girl’, ‘Online Binline’, ‘Fugay’ and so on. But, two years ago makers of comedy film ‘Baghtos Kaay Mujara kar’ offered him scope to direct this film besides performing in it.
Recently, Hemant Dhome directed one more multi-starrer big budget film ‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa 2′ and now he is all set to direct a film ‘Satarcha Salman’, which will be released on 11th October 2019. Prakash Singhi has produced this film under the banner of Texas Studios . Hemant himself released the poster of this film on his social networking page clearly indicating that it will be a film based on craze of youngsters from small district places towards the films and their heroes.
As rightly the title suggests about the lead character ( Suyog Gorhe ), the other credits of the film have also been given according to the native towns of the people connected with technical work. Like Mumbaicha Prasad Bhende- the cinematographer, Janavalicha Amitraj- the music director, Pimparkhedcha lekhak( writer) Hemant Dhome and so on.
Till now, the name of the lead actor in this film was not known. But now, with the release of poster it has been revealed that dashing Suyog Gorhe, who was seen in previous films like ‘Shentimental’, ‘Krutant’, ‘Bus Stop’, ‘Aamhi Befiquir’ & ‘Girlfriend’ will play title role in this film.
‘Palshichi PT’ presents the plight of budding female athletes from villages

Sports based subjects are not new to Marathi films. The uniqueness depends on how the subject has been dealt with. And this makes latest released Marathi film ‘Palshichi PT’ look different from others. Set on the backdrop of a village Palshi from Satara district, the film revolves around teenager Bhagi (Kiran Dhane) who is a daughter of a Shepherd who grazes his goats on the outskirts of village . Bhagi assists her mother in household work besides attending the school. Being always late for school, she gets punished and is made to run on the school ground. So, we find an athlete produced by compulsion.
When it is time to send the school’s entry for the Taluka level sports meet, Bhagi becomes an automatic choice of the PT teacher. However, not much of interest is taken in her participation and therefore One handicapped drawing teacher Bidkar Sir (Rahul Belapurkar) is sent along with Bhagi and other school girl for this competition, in which Bhagi tops and bags a prize. So, it is time for sending her entry for the State level meet. With no support from school authrities, finally, with the support coming from the drawing teacher, Bhagi is able to participate in state meet and sets a new national record in 400 mts run.
This new record brings her name and fame. As she is all set to participate at the national level, Bhagi receives an arranged marriage proposal from a newly recruited Police Hawaldar Vikas ( Rahul Magdum) . To keep with the village tradition, it is time for her marriage. On the other hand Bhagi does not want to live life like her elder sisters who are married and living in misery. Her well wisher and coach Bidkar Sir tries to persuade Bhagi’s father.
What finally happens, is what film maker Dhondiba Balu Karande has shown skilfully in the concluding part of his film. Getting inspired by the progress made by village level athletes Kavita Raut and Lalita Babar , he has tried to highlight the hurdles faced by such sportspersons who come from poor background. PT is the name given to her ironically by her critics.
Very systematically the director has shown the mindset of the parents and also attitude of school authorities from district places towards sports. At the same time, he has touched upon the most important aspect of coaching, where the real coach who trains the budding athlete is left behind and the selfish and powerful people take the credit of their success. This selfish attitude can be seen through the characters like school principal, PT teacher and the politician and trustee of the school.
The film has a very good subject and the director has handled it well, but with limited script, he has tried to wrap up the film in just little over 100 mins. Being a low budget film, the technical support to this film fails to create the desired impact of the theme. Nevertheless, the efforts of the film maker to present this subject and the performances of the lead artistes have to be appreciated. The lead actress of the film Kiran Dhane is today a popular TV star among home viewers with ongoing hit serial ‘Ek Hoti Rajkanya’. Her popularity should have been used to promote this film. But, that didn’t happen. The film has been released in very few theatres without any advertisement in newspapers and this will deprive the real sports lovers from watching this sensible sports based subject.
“Smita Tambe is an intense actress” – Saif Ali Khan
The second version of much talked about web series ‘Sacred Games’ has been launched on Netflix recently. And in this second version we find Marathi actress Smita Tambe making her presence felt in the role of a Forensic expert Rama who is assisting Inspector Sartaj Singh in the investigation of nuclear bomb chain.
There is no doubt about the praise Smita has been receiving from the viewers , but what is more important is the compliment she has received from her co star in this series Saif Ali Khan. Speaking about this compliment, Smita says, “I have been a great fan of Saif Ali Khan for past several years. I am working with him for the first time. He is such a nice person who is always friendly with his co stars when not shooting. But, turns serious when in front of camera. During the shooting, he was so impressed with my work that he complimented me saying that I was a very intense actress. And this compliment is very special for me.”
In this series Smita plays the character of Rama who is originally from Vidharbh , Maharashtra and living in Sewree, Mumbai . She joins the Police after the 26/11 attack on Mumbai, so that she could do something for the country. She is expert in decoding the secret messages received from terrorists who are preparing their attack on Mumbai.
Incidentally, Smita Tambe has worked for the first time with director Neeraj Ghaywan. Praising his style of work, Smita says, “He is a different type of director, who does not load the artist much before the scene. In fact, he just explains the scene in brief and allows the artistes to perform in their own way and this helps the artiste to prove his or her mettle.”
Is Veena Jagtap is inviting attention with her variety of night suits in ‘Bigg Boss 2′ ?
Wearing night suits was very common in Bollywood films of 60s and 70s. In fact it was a status symbol of lead characters of elite families. Many popular Bollywood songs were pictured on leading ladies sporting designer night suits. With the changing time, we saw the arrival of western style clothes in place of night suits. But, still we find some people using the night suits as status symbols in their air conditioned houses in metro cities.
Now, talking about the use of night suits by our Marathi stars, recently we saw actress Veena Jagtap displaying different designs of night suits through her ongoing TV show ‘Marathi Big Boss 2′. In fact, her night suits have become the new attraction and it will not be surprising to find the female audience copying her designs. So much has been the talk about her night suits.
Even otherwise, Veena has been the most popular participant in this show and is making her presence felt through display of her skills besides her variety of designer night suits. Having worked in Hindi and Marathi serials before and also in one Marathi film, she is very comfortable taking up challenges in the ongoing show. Now, it remains to be seen, whether she will be the hot favourite to win the crown?
Filmcity location turns lucky for actor Madhav Deochakke
A particular shooting location turns out to be lucky for some artistes. Now, take the example of actor Madhav Deochakke . Recently, we saw him gaining a lot of popularity through the ‘Big Boss Marathi 2 ‘ show. But, he was sent out of the house. However, this exit has proved to be lucky for him. We are all aware that ‘Big Boss-2′ is being shot at Film City location in Goregaon East. Now, at the same filmcity location, Madhav Devchake has found a lead role in a Big banner Marathi film ‘Vijeta’.
Madhav Deochakke in ‘Vijeta’ Movie
‘Vijeta’ is being made by Subhash Ghai’s Mukta Arts and during the muhurat of this film Subhash Ghai was personally present along with Subodh Bhave, Pooja Sawant and Sushant Shelar who are also part of this film. The initial shooting of this film has already begun is directed by Amol Shedge. Speaking about his new assignment, Madhav said, “This is a biggest achievement for me, that I am part of Subhash Ghai’s production. Since my childhood I have been watching his film and has been a great admirer of him. This is like a dream come true.”
Madhav attributes credit of this achievement to his ‘Big Boss 2′ show. “The place where the Big Boss show set has been erected, has been lucky for me. Earlier, at the same venue two of my super hit TV serials ‘Hamari Devrani’ and ‘Saraswati’ were also shot. So, I would say that ‘Hamari Devrani’, ‘Saraswati’ and ‘Big Boss 2′ have become three important turning points in my acting career.”
If Madhav Devchake feels so, even his fans will be happy to see him in a new role and that too on big screen, where sky is the limit.
