Movie Review by:  Sourabh Karnik

There was already enough curiosity about Santosh Kolhe’s latest movie- ‘Made In China.’ The film is based upon controversial topic SEZ. It is no more a new concept for us. We are witnessed of disaster at Singur. We are part of society where localites of Raigad district are fighting against Reliance’s SEZ. Everybody is discussing whether it’s a boom or bam? Made in China covers all social, political, and cultural and many more aspects of SEZ and delivers a neutral view about SEZ. Though the subject suits to a documentary rather than film and director Santosh Kolhe is well known documentary maker, it is a complete bundle of all commercial aspect and that is the real success of movie. It is a complete socio-political movie.

The movie starts in a small village of Pimpalgaon where Appasaheb Jagdale (Sharad Bhutadiya) is quiet determine
to establish a special economic zone. His political rival Kailas Shinde (Upendra Limaye) and nephew Mohit (Sandeep Kulkarni) are not agree with his decision where as his daughter Parachi (Madhura Welankar) and other nephew (Milind Gunaji) are in favor of SEZ. Mohit has learned modern agricultural techniques from Israel and devoted lots of efforts for agricultural development of the region. It is hard for him to destroy his land for the sake of SEZ Appasaheb uses his political contacts and powers to break the movement of Mohit and Kailas. During this process Appasaheb was killed brutally. Further film moves around the trace of murderer and future of SEZ.

The film has got huge starcast. Sharad Bhutadiya, Sandeep Kulkarni, Madhura welankar, Milind Gunaji, Upendra Limaye, Mrunal Kulkarni all are the well known actors and quiet persistant about their performance. A special character has been given to every actor and it is nicely presented by all the actors. Mohit- presented by Sandeep Kulkarni is simply amazing. He has own group of fans and he not at all disappointed them. His accent, expressions, and body language everything is great. He had actually covered all the different shades of character. It is nice to see another fascinating role of Sandeep after ‘Dombivali Fast.’ Since last few years Madhura Welankar is consistently delivering good performance and this movie is not exception to it. A daughter of enfluensive politician and queen of Appasaheb’s Political kingdom, her appearance suits perfectly. Milind Gunaji and Upendra Limaye are good as usual. Mrunal Kulkarni’s presence can be remembered easily despite her short role.

Santosh Kolhe has done great work as a director. He was involved from script writing till post production and that is the reason behind perfect synchronization. He had worked with some of the most popular Hindi serials like ‘Kusum’, ‘Kyonki Saans Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ and he has utilized his experience very nicely. The story covers different aspects like changing villages, modern agricultural techniques, media, politics and still it doesn’t distract viewers. Despite the social subject, movie never sacrifices with any of the commercial movie. Dhananjay Kulkarni has performed very well behind the Camera.
The whole movie has feel of a rural village and credit must be given to him. Sachin Natekar has done fabulous work as an editor and movie would have not been made so perfectly without his efforts.

The best thing about movie is it connects the viewers efficiently. Though story moves around rural background, here farmers are not like the old Marathi movies. It has adequately covered changing scenario of Indian villages. We can feel that these characters can be existing around us. That is why I have n doubt in my mind that the movie is going to attract eyeballs and going to another good Marathi Movie.
