His PLIF technique in spinal surgery, made him stand tall in the field of medical innovation. In short, nothing was impossible for this surgeon, who possessed human spirit.

In the film ‘Taath Kana’ versatile actor Umesh Kamat has played the character of Dr. Ramani convincingly, presenting his emotions at every important stage of his life. His looks at different stages in his life and his body language speaks about his involvement into the character. Credit for the same also goes to writer Shrikant Bojewar and director Girish Mohite, for their extra ordinary skills, to make this film entertaining in spite of its serious emotion filled subject, which touches the heart of the audience.

‘Taath Kanaa’ captures the attention of the audience right from the beginning till the end, as it relates to Doctor – patient relationship . Their interactions and the hospital atmosphere have been well exhibited. Writer Bojewar and director Mohite have presented two important operations, namely Ms. Parminder from Haryana and young Narendra from Maharashtra. Emotions of Parminder’s husband and Narendra’s family members and their faith in Dr. Ramani have also been presented very well.

Besides notable performance coming from Umesh Kamat, who stands tall with the central character; good support comes from Deepti Devi who plays Dr. Ramani’s wife Pratima very convincingly. She seems to be a button artist, quickly changing her expressions, according to moving situations in the screenplay. In the role of a young patient Narendra, Suyog Gorhe has done well, while Sayali Sanjeev as his would be wife and Shailesh Datar and Anupama Takmoge as Narendra’s worried parents have performed their respective characters very sensibly.

There are no songs in this film, but Avinash -Vishwajeet make their presence felt in the background score. Good editing by Nilesh Gawand and wonderful cinematography by Krushnakumar Soren make this film more presentable. Certainly, an inspiring film, which can be watched by all age groups.
