Fine gesture by Ashwini Bhave on the occasion of Women’s day
US based Marathi actress Ashwini Bhave visits her motherland every year around this time. Last year, to encourage protection of environment, she had gifted plants to 15 actresses in Mumbai. This year also she gifted plants to 10 male actors, so that they pass on the same to the most important woman in their life. Besides this, her visit to India this year turned more special for another reason. Ashwini Bhave visited a village Jambhulpada in Raigad district on the occasion of Women’s day and showed a fine gesture by gifting sewing machines to deserving poor women, so as to enable them to earn something for their needs.
Speaking about her visit, Ashwini said that she was in touch with an NGO ‘Sudhagad Hitvardhini Sabha’ working for the welfare of this village. “Since I was in Mumbai during the Women’s day, I though that I should spend some time with those poor women in village and that’s how the idea of gifting them with sewing machines came to my mind.” she added.

Bollywood film maker Yash Chopra always believed in shooting his romantic love triangle stories in Europe. Then we saw Karan Johar following his path. And now, the latest released Marathi film ‘Ti and Ti’ has also followed their path. Shot at some of the picturesque locations of London and its suburbs, the film presents the story of a newly married couple from Pune Anay Pandit ( Pushkar Jog) and Sai (Prarthana Behere Jawkar). It’s an arranged marriage for Anay, whose close friends Sudhan & Kavya register his name with a dot com marriage bureau. And they find a suitable match in Sai with 96% compatibility.
Soon thereafter, the couple is on their honeymoon to London. But, on landing in London, Anay meets his classmate Priyanka (Sonalee Kulkarni) on whom he had a crush during his schooldays. Having found his real love, Anay pretends that he is a bachelor and starts flirting with her. Having been left alone, Sai also finds a helpful friend in Shekhar (Siddharth Chandekar) a divorcee of Indian origin, who helps her to visit the places of her interest. The time comes, when both feel the guilt and they decide to live happily. But, as we have been watching in our films over the years, it is the man who always commits a mistake and the woman is made to suffer. No wonder, the film has been released on international women’s day. So, there is more drama to witness till the climax, which concludes with a happy end.
Though the story idea of the film has been influenced by the present lifestyle of the youngsters, it does have the touch of Bollywood, when it comes to repeated mocking and dialogues of Shahrukh Khan from lead character Anay. Though the screenplay in the first part has been presented well, it lacks the required momentum in the second half. Editing is not so impressive and so are the dialogues which also fail to make an impression. However it is the wonderful work by DOP Harshavardhan Patil which makes the film presentable. Watching this film, is almost like getting an experience of a package tour of London with the team ‘Ti and Ti‘. Music is just fine to suit the theme of the film. Costume designing is also good, if you observe the technical sides of the film.
As a director, Mrinal Kulkarni has tried her best to extract the best out of the four main characters and therefore full marks go to Pushkar Jog, Prarthana Behere & Siddharth Chandekar for giving their best. But, it is Sonalee Kulkarni, who grabs all the attention with her superb performance. All in all, this so-called RomCom follows the path of those Bollywood films and takes you on the tour of England
A lot is expected from Marathi Women film directors
After watching the success of Sai Paranjape in Hindi films and Marathi theatre right from 70s, many women in Maharashtra were inspired to move into direction. And the two prominent names were Aruna Raje and Sushma Shiromani. Aruna successfully shouldered the responsibility of directing the Hindi films like ‘Rihaee’ starring big stars like Hema Malini, Vinod Khanna, Naseeruddin Shah & Reema Lagoo and ‘Bhairavi‘, Sushma offered commercial Marathi films like ‘Fatakdi‘, ‘Bhingari‘ & ‘Kadaklakshmi‘. Recently, Aruna Raje made her comeback through a Marathi film ‘Firebrand‘ starring Sachin Khedekar, Usha Jadhav & Girish Kulkarni, which was released on Netflix last month.
Then we saw the rise of women film makers like Shrabani Deodhar through award-winning films like ‘Lapandaav‘ & ‘Sarkarnama‘ and Kanchan Adhikari through a sensible film like ‘Manini‘ which was the first Marathi film shot in Dubai. Kanchan had already become popular on television, when she directed a mega serial ‘Damini‘. Actress turned director late Smita Talwalkar also offered some good sensible films, besides directing her debut film ‘Savat Majhi Laadki‘.
During the past few years, some more women directors have entered Marathi film industry and prominent among them are, Samruddhi Porey, Swapna Waghmare Joshi, Mrinal Kulkarni, Kranti Redkar, Manva Naik & Pratima Joshi, who have offered good subjects with nice presentations and much more is expected from them. We had also heard about Mrunmayee Deshpande making an announcement about her entry into direction. On the occasion of Women’s day, we wish all these new women film makers all the best.

One More Hindi film ‘Mere Pyare Prime Minister’ has Marathi flavour
Two months ago we saw lots of Marathi artistes in the big budget Hindi film ‘Simba‘. Even there were some Marathi dialogues uttered by the hero of the film Ranveer Singh. And now, another Hindi film ‘Mere Pyare Prime Minister‘ is also having Marathi flavour with popular Marathi artistes like Anjali Patil, Makarand Deshpande, Atul Kulkarni & Nachiket Purnapatre being part of the lead star cast.
Another news coming from the sets of the film is that during the shooting Marathi food was being served for the entire crew of the film. And everyday variety of Maharashtrian food was added to the menu. Presented by Jayantilal Gada and PVR Cinemas, this film is directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.
