The post Baalaa ( बाळा ) appeared first on .

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.

We are all aware of the capacity of Makarand Deshpande as an actor on Hindi stage and films. We have also seen his best performances in Marathi films like ‘Rita‘,’Samantar‘,’Ajintha‘, ‘Panhala‘ and ‘Dagadi Chawl‘. Now, Makarand is all set to display his talent in forthcoming Marathi film ‘Truckbhar Swapna‘, which is directed by Pramod Pawar. But, along with him there is another versatile Bollywood actor, who is making his debut in Marathi and he is Mukesh Rishi.

We have seen Mukesh Rishi giving his best through strong character roles since 1990 and has always been the favourite of many big film makers from Hindi and telugu Cinema. Rishi has performed prominent roles in about 70+ Hindi films, 50+ South films besides few Punjabi films, which is a big achievement. And now, he is all set to make his debut in Marathi through ‘Truckbhar Swapna‘ in a role most suited to his personality. The film also stars renowned Marathi artistes like Smita Tambe, Kranti redkar, Aditi Pohankar , Manoj Joshi and others. The film will be released on 24^th August all over Maharashtra.

The ongoing IPL Cricket has forced many Marathi film makers to postpone their film’s releases. And, one of them is director Manoj Kotian, who has found the month of May as most suitable time for the release of his film ‘Karaar‘. It may be recalled that music of this film was released end of last year, when it was announced that  ‘Karaar‘ film would be released early 2017. But, for some reason or the other, the film’s release was postponed.

Now, producers Bipin Shah and Gautam Munot have announced the release of ‘Karaar‘ film as 26^th May, 2017, which is the summer vacation time. The film stars Subodh Bhave, Urmila Kanitkar Kothare and Kranti Redkar in lead roles. The film’s music is by Vijay Gavande and Paresh Shah, with lyrics by Guru Thakur and Mangesh Kangane. Reputed singers like Avadhoot Gupte, Shreya Ghoshal, Bela Shende, Sonu Kakkar, Jasraj Joshi, Neha Rajpal and Vaishali Samant have rendered their voices for the songs in ‘Karaar‘ film.

Kranti Redkar, whose two films ‘Karaar‘ and ‘Truckbhar Swapna‘ are releasing early 2017, feels that she should focus more on time management, besides paying more attention on doing something different, instead of getting typecast. With her characters in these two films, she can say so.

Upendra Limaye, who is known for his award winning films ‘Jogwa‘ and ‘Yellow‘ , is also of the opinion that an actor should attempt variety of roles through new wave films. His next film ‘Kshitij‘ is the best example of what he expects from a film. Upendra is playing a realistic character of a farmer in this film.

Popular actress Prarthana Behere frankly doesn’t believe in new year resolutions. Actually she prepares a list of 10 priorities and pays attention on achieving them one by one. But, this year she is going to be very particular about collecting all the information before signing a project. At the same time, she is excited about her next releases starting with ‘Fugay‘ followed by her other films, shooting of which has already been completed.

Well Known TV actress Namrata Awate , known for her perfect timing for comedy, will be very serious about losing her weight, during the new year. At present her serial ‘Ga Sahajani‘ is on the air.

Mandar Kulkarni, who plays the lead role of Parth in the serial ‘Aamhi Dogha Raja Rani‘ is more concerned about protection of our environment. So, he has planned to plant maximum tress during the new year, to create awareness. At the same time, he has assured his admirers to offer quality entertainment during the new year through his serial. Another actress, Namrata Gaikwad has also announced that she would plant maximum trees during the new year to give something back to the mother nature.
