Ashwini Bhave steals the show in ‘Dhyanimani’

Rating: ★★★
Genres: Drama Censor: U Duration: 120 min. Studio/presenter: Great Maratha Entertainment Producer(s): Aniruddh Deshpande, Medha Manjrekar Director: Chandrakant Kulkarni Music: Ajit Parab Writer: Prashant Dalvi Cinematographer (DOP): Ajith Reddy Cast: Mahesh Manjrekar, Ashwini Bhave, Abhijeet Khandkekar, Mrunmayee Deshpande, Madhav Abhyankar Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke |
Every actor or actress desire to perform a lifetime role in their acting career, be it on stage, television or films. And, very few of them get an opportunity to do so, in their second innings. Actor Amitabh Bachchan did find such opportunities through films like Cheeni Kam, Black, Paa, Piku & Pink. In Marathi, Nana Patekar found it in ‘Natasamarat‘. But, all are not lucky, especially the female artistes. But, Ashwini Bhave has found one such role in latest released Marathi film ‘Dhyanimani‘. She is the backbone of this film.
The film ‘Dhyanimani‘ revolves around her central character of Shalini Pathak a 40+ wife of Sadanand Pathak ( Mahesh Manjrekar) based in Roha on an job assignment. A newly married young couple Aparna ( Mrunmayee Deshpande) & Sameer ( Abhijeet Khandkekar) arrive in their house on a short vacation, as Pathak couple is close to Sameer’s father, a retired and highly respected school teacher( Madhav Abhyankar) .
Sadanand & Shalini welcome the young couple but soon the young couple notice some mystery in the strange behaviour of the couple. At the stroke of interval, the young couple and audience receive the first jolt and in the second half it is the uncovering of the mystery. ‘Dhyanimani‘ is based on the Marathi play by Prashant Dalvi which was staged in 90s. The play was directed by Chandrakant Kulkarni , who has now directed this film with the same name. Through this film, he has managed to present this mystery based screenplay of Prashant Dalvi well and has also skilfully exploited the best out of all four lead artistes well, but, he hasn’t taken much cinematic liberties through this film. Therefore, in many scenes the film has the look of a stage play, with more emphasis on long dialogues, especially those uttered by Ashwini Bhave.
Nevertheless, Ajith Reddy’s camera work, Paresh Manjrekar’s editing, Ajit Parab’s background music and Sandeep Mochemadkar’s sound design are plus points of this film. All in all,’Dhyanimani‘ film is not entertaining like typical Marathi films; but, does offer something different for those, who love to watch mystery based subjects with good performances.

‘MI SHIVAJIRAJE BHOSALE BOLATOYE’ REVIEW
 |
Rating: ★★★ ½
Presenter: Eros Intertainments Producer: Everest Entertainmets, Ashwimi Films Director: Santosh Majrekar Story: Mahesh Manjrekar Music: Ajit-Atul-Sameer Cast: Mahesh Majrekar, Sachin Khedekar, Suchitra Bandekar, Siddarth Jadhav, Makarand Anaspure, Priya Bapat, Abhijeet Kelkar Movie Review by: Kashmira Pawaskar |
We have seen many movies and serials on one of the greatest Kings of all times – The Great Shivaji, but this movie has presented this great King in a way never before. “Himmat asel tar adva” means “Stop me if you can’’ was a thrilling dialogue which made the whole movie revolve around. This movie is on the lines of a simple man of India and filters it to our Maharashtra – Marathi Manoos and his struggle and his inferiority complex.
Story is about a Marathi family, whose head, Dinkar Bhosale played by Sachin Khedkar is drained of his tedious life & “ghati” treatment by others. The movie then takes a turn around & that particular person fights the problems he faces with rational & very possible approaches with the help of Shivaji Maharaj. The film is having a very long canvas which revolves from the 16th century to the 21st century and that includes the current day scenario. It has a good culmination of Shivaji Maharaj’s history with present circumstances.
The movie is about self respect and respect of your community, culture, ethics, religion, caste,secular characteristic of the nation, bonding with your soil, love for your motherland and much more. It well enacted within a tight gripping script depicting anxiety within each Mumbaikar. The film has great message and it’s to the point and has been executed with great maturity. The issues of throughway people getting jobs, hotel business dominated by Punjabis and south Indians, government jobs by north Indians Real estate by Marwaris, Stock markets by Gujratis etc are handled perfectly well.
There are so many punching lines and effortless scenes that it shall raise blood in your viens. Also to mention dialogues got a round of applause from the audience many a times. Sachin Khedkar gave a breathtaking scene when he gets very frustrated by the scenario around him. It’s his chimera that he is speaking to the great Marathas of all time, Babashaheb Ambedkar, Mahatma Phule, Veer Savrkar, Tilak etc.
All characters have played their role with full justice & the movie also has a strong story line. The best performance in this larger than life character is of Mahesh Manjrekar playing the role of Shivaji Maharaj. The dialogue delivery by Sachin
Khedekar playing the protagonist and Mahesh Manjrekar is so great that it keeps fully involved till the very end.
The story becomes somewhat predictable after the entry of Shivaji Maharaj and it might give an notion of Lage Raho Munna bhai, where in our Munna meets the Mahatma and that Mahatma guides him through. It’s on the same line but with a different view. The script is sharper and it carries a great balance and entertainment till the very end.
The ‘Powada’,Maharastra’s one of the traditional song which is happening to be cost around one crore.This song is played just before the climax to inspired the protagonist when he is tend to accept defeat infront before fighting.One cant forget the ‘Ji Ji’ song sunged by Sukwinder Singh creating an great impact throughout the movie.The cinematography is superb and the fort scenes with taken with full compassion. The best part in the movie is no doubt the screenplay.
Can say a very excellent & strong message conveying Marathi movie after a long time. Must Watch….!
