World Food day reminds us of Marathi film titles inspired by food items

World Food day Celebration, Marathi Movie Food Theme
World Food day Celebration, Marathi Movie Food Theme

World Food day is celebrated across the world perhaps introducing new food recipes for food lovers. But, that reminds us as to what our Marathi film makers have offered to the viewers, after being inspired by food items to name the titles of their films. It all began in 50s, when a film with the title ‘Shevgyachya Shenga’ directed by Shantaram Athavale was released starring Baby Nanda , Sumati Gupte and others. Besides winning the National award for best Marathi film, the film had also entered the Cannes Festival, raising the curiosity of World audience as to what relevance the nutritious Drumsticks had with this film’s story.

In 80s we saw Producer director V.K.Naik offering a film with the name ‘Khichadi’ perhaps trying to show the relevance of this recipe with the human life. Thereafter, for a long period, there were no titles of Marathi films related to any food items. But, since 2009 we have seen many films using the titles derived from food items. ‘Ek Cup Chya’ released by producer Yeshwant Oak and directed by Sumitra Bhave and Sunil Sukhtankar, had used a cup of tea normally a symbol of hospitality, as a metaphor for a bribe. The film was based on the RTI act.

Then we saw the film ‘Masala’  (Movie review) produced by Girish Kulkarni and directed by Sandesh Kulkarni, when we saw how a couple running away from moneylenders, from one place to other, after failing in different attempted business meet the right people to add that required flavour required in their life. There were many other films which we saw later, with the names ‘Murambba’, ‘Gulabjaam’ ‘Restaurant’, ‘Coffee Ani Barach Kahi, ‘Khari Biscuit’ ‘Jai Maharashtra Dhaba Bhatinda’, ‘Haapus’ and others which were able to deliver what the respective film makers had in their mind behind using these titles.

Renowned director duo Sumitra Bhave and Sunil Sukhtankar made 17 Marathi films together and won various national and international accolades for their previous films like ‘Doghi’,‘Dahavi Fa’ , ‘Vastupurush’,‘Devrai’, ‘Samhita’ and ‘Astu’ (movie review). Two of these films were based on mental illness such as Schizophrenia and Alzimer’s disease. And they presented these two subjects very skilfully handling the subject with the support of Dr. Mohan Agashe himself a Psychiatrist, who was part of both these films.

In ‘Kaasav’ (कासव) we saw Dr. Mohan Agashe contributing in the form of a producer along with the film maker duo Bhave and Sukhtankar. This film has won the National award for the best feature film at the 64th National Film awards. Unfortunately, this film could not be released in a big way in theatres like other Marathi films, but was released recently on Sony Liv OTT platform, which has made it possible to reach out to the Marathi film lovers scattered all over the world.

Alok Rajwade Marathi Movie ‘Kaasav’

‘Kaasav’ truly stands to the appreciation it received during the Golden Lotus National award for best feature film. The film’s story is presented in a beautiful cinematic way, to show the relevance of the issues of depression suffered by the youngster (Alok Rajwade) in the film, in relation to the life and nesting cycle of Olive Ridley Sea Turtles, being researched by Janaki (Iravati Harshe) a middle aged divorcee, who herself consults a psychologist for her panic attacks.

Shot at the beautiful beach location of Devgad in Sindhudurg district, the film captures some realistic moments to show, how this middle aged woman tries to treat the depressed youngster, by understanding his problems with the help of a local doctor. There are few other important characters in the form Yadu( Kishore Kadam) driver cum cook of Janaki, Dattabhau (Mohan Agashe) a local, who is working on an olive ridley sea turtles conservation project, Devika Daftardar ( short appearance) playing the step mother of the depressed youngster and others with their perfect Malvani accent, who provide very good support.

Beautiful cinematography by Dhananjay Kulkarni captures the beauty of Devgad beach, while Saket Kanetkar’s music provides good support to this artistic film with a timely message of showing the purpose of living life to a depressed youngster. Perfect editing by Mohit Takalkar has made this 104 minutes length film look very interesting. But, the overall credit goes to the director duo Sumitra Bhave – Sunil Sukhtankar for handling this difficult subject brilliantly with the help of Dr. Mohan Agashe, who has contributed his bit as an actor, but more as a producer. Certainly a worth watch film for all.
