When a person retires from his job, for him his provident fund and all the dues from his employer are like his lifetime savings. What, if he finds the entire amount deposited by his employer into his bank account, withdrawn by someone else fraudulently ? Writer director Girish Jayant Joshi presents one such theme, when the lead character of the film Avinash ( Sachin Khedekar) goes through a similar shocking experience.

Avinash is a married man around 50 years of age , who lives with his wife Asavari( Iravati Harshe) a freelance counsellor and daughter Sanica ( Parna Pethe) a final year college student, happily in his well designed house. His son is in USA for higher studies. Avinash takes voluntary retirement from his well paying job, as his company asks him to undergo training to learn new technology. Not very conversant with mobile and internet application, he wants to stay away from such technological up gradation. However his daughter is more familiar with laptop/ mobile operations to stay updated on the social networking with regular chats with new friends.

One fine day, it is this contrast between father and daughter lands both of them into trouble. But, on his wife’s advice Avinash understands the situation and taking his daughter into confidence and after consulting his close friend Mohan( Vidyadhar Joshi) seeks the help of Cyber Crime Police Officer Pawar ( Mahesh Manjrekar) to trace the fraudster, who is on the run with different names like Badri/Gautam/Sagar /Satish ( Adinath Kothare) .

It is not that easy to present a film on this subject, but writer – director Girish Jayant Joshi has done a good job on his debut. Till interval, he has generated a lot of interest to keep the audience glued to their seats. But, in post interval session and especially in the concluding part he has nothing much to offer, as things happen as expected in the climax. However, the film’s story has shown the clever modus operandi of the fraudsters to make quick money, by targeting the people who can easily fall prey into their net. At the same time, the film has also cautioned the people to take care about their online banking transactions by maintaining secrecy and preserving important documents under lock and key.

Music in this film has been used just to meet the requirement of the screenplay, but Arjun Soprte’s cinematography is appealing. Best performances come from all the four important artistes like Sachin Khedekar, Irawati Harshe, Parna Pethe and Adinath Kothare. They find good support from Vidyadhar Joshi, Sulekha Talwalkar and Sanskriti Balgude who have limited roles to their share. Mahesh Manjrekar and Jaywant Wadkar have displayed some humour through their characters of Police officials investigating the case. Director Girish jayant Joshi has been able to deliver what he actually wanted to offer the Marathi audience. Certainly a worth watch film, if you want to keep such fraudsters away from you.

‘Truckbhar Swapna’ highlights exploitation of slum dwellers in Mumbai

  • Genres: Drama
  • Censor: U
  • Duration: 130 min.
  • Studio / Presenter: Iconic Chandrakant Production Pvt Ltd
  • Producers: Meena Chandrakant Desai, Nayana Desai
  • DOP: Rajiv Jain
  • Director: Pramod Pawar
  • Cast:  Makarand Deshpande, Kranti Redkar, Sahil Gilbile, Aditi Pohankar, Smita Tambe, Mukesh Rishi,Vijay Kadam
  • Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke.

We are all aware that as there is growth of high rise buildings in the city of Mumbai, there is also rise in unauthorised extensions in slum colonies. Every day thousands of people come in search of jobs and later settle down in slums, whether they are authorised or not.

Latest released Marathi film ‘Truckbhar Swapna’ revolves around one such family of comprising of Raja  (Makarand Deshpande), his wife Rani (Kranti Redkar) teenage daughter Kajol (Aditi Pohankar) and son Sunny(Sahil Gilbile), migrating from Konkan to Mumbai. Raja wants to offer best education to his little son to make him Barrister. Raja himself works hard driving Taxi for 18 hours a day and his wife works as a domestic help in the house of rich couple Makhijas. They happily live in their small house and have limited dreams.

Trouble begins when Raja visits his house in village during Holi festival, at the invitation from his old father (Vijay Kadam). During family get together over lunch his brother and sister in law taunts him over the living conditions in slums of Mumbai. Taking as insult, Raja leaves for Mumbai with a dream to extend his house with mezzanine floor and falls into the trap of corrupt BMC officials and a local goon turned builder RK (Mukesh Rishi). How he and his family have to face the situation after arrival of his parents is what the director Pramod Pawar has tried to show through this film. He has also tried to show the contrast in living conditions of people from diverse sections of society.

There is nothing new in the story of this film, as such type of stories were very common in Hindi films during 70s and 80s. Through this film the director has highlighted the exploitation of these hard working people living in slums of Mumbai. And therefore, he has tried to show how the corrupt BMC officials on duty in demolition squad work hand and glove with the local developer of that particular slum colony. But, what if the corrupt higher BMC official is transferred? The new officer if he is strict, all the illegal structures get demolished and no one comes to their rescue. This is what the director has tried to show through this film. However, in the process of cash transactions between Raja and the so called builder R.K. the director seems to have forgotten how much money was promised and how much Raja and his family finally pay to him. The mathematics part is all confusion created by him.

The plot of the film is good but the treatment given to it should have been better. Anyway, the film presents the real atmosphere of Mumbai slums and the different characters played by the respective artistes are really good. But, among them Kranti Redkar who plays the role of Mother going through all the sufferings, has performed superbly. She finds very good support from her neighbourhood friend played by Smita Tambe. In the role of Raja , Makarand Deshpande does well and so is the performance of Aditi Pohankar who has found good scope after her debut film ‘Lai Bhari’. Bollywood actor Mukesh Rishi who makes his debut in Marathi, has played a typical villain, while Manoj Joshi has found a limited role of a rich businessman married to a Model . It was nice to see Suresh Bhagwat in the role of a lonely feeling businessman. Asha Shelar has been wasted in this film with a very small role of Raja’s mother.

Music of the film by Shreyashh is just fine. Cinematographer Rajiv Jain has captured the life of Mumbai very well through his lenses. All in all, ‘Truckbhar Swapna’ highlights the problems faced by people living in slums and cautions them not to fall into the trap of builders suggesting illegal constructions and extensions. This film is a must watch for all those living in the slum colonies scattered all over Maharashtra.
