Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke

Every filmmaker feels that whatever he offers is something remarkable. And, there is nothing wrong in expecting success in return. But today, Marathi films are showing a change, with new subjects dealt in films. Therefore, if the script of the film is outdated and is not able to convince the audience; then the result is known to all. Latest released Marathi film ‘Bugadi Majhi Sandali Ga‘ goes with the formula, adopted in films of 60s and 70s.

Producer Shyam Singhania and director Mansingh Pawar signed Miss India Universe Beauty queen Manasi Moghe, to play the lead role of a beautiful dancing actress and focused their attention on ‘Lavani’ the traditional dance form of Maharashtra, as the base of the film. In order to make it more musical, they engaged three different music directors. But, as they say, ‘Too many cooks spoil the broth ‘. Barring two songs, the other seven songs in this film, have failed to appeal. And, that turned out to be the biggest drawback of the film. Even the screenplay of this film, with limited content, failed to generate much interest, due to predictable happenings, except for the climax. But, that too had left a hint, in the initial scene of the film. So, don’t miss the beginning.

The story of this film revolves around Shubhangi (Manasi Moghe) who is an orphan, and brought up by a Tamasha dancer Chandraprabha Sanglikar( Deepa Chafekar). Chandraprabha who is in live-in-relationship with Raosaheb, since her younger days, lives in Raosaheb Shinde’s big house, 40 kms away from Kolhapur city. Indrajeet, the only son of Appasaheb Mohite and Padmaja Mohite(Ramesh Bhatkar & Ila Bhate) who are rich and run a trust in Kolhapur. He returns from abroad, after studying music and wants to know more about ‘Lavani’ the traditional Indian dance-music form. That’s how he comes across Shubhangi and falls in love with her. She too gives her heart to Indrajeet.

The trouble begins, when Appasaheb comes to know about their relationship. In the meanwhile, Raosaheb also returns after six years. Watching Shubhangi’s beauty, Raosaheb also make his advances towards her, but Chandraprabha warns him. Everything goes on, as predicted, except for the tragic end. Actually, the film fails to capture the attention of the audience in pre interval stage. In every intense love story, there is strong opposition from other characters. That does not happen in this film. The only negative character is seen playing his cruel act towards the end of the film. Even the opposition from Indrajeet’s parents and Chadraprabha is not very convincing.

There are many such incidences in the film, which fail to convince. As far as the performances are concerned, Manasi Moghe makes a sincere attempt on her debut. She looks beautiful in every scene. But, the director and the choreographer should have paid more attention on her body language & visual expressions in close up. Even, not much attention has been paid on her accent, which should have been in typical Kolhapuri style. Kashyap Parulekar has done well, in the role of Indrajeet. But, his real potential hasn’t been exploited by the director, except for the last scene.

A lot of importance has been given to the character of Chandraprabha, so much so that she is also given scope to perform a baithak Lavani, with a full song picturised on her. Ila Bhate finds her share to prove her acting skills, in two important scenes in the post interval session. In comparison Ramesh Bhatkar is just namesake father in the film, with not much scope for an actor of his caliber. Mohan Joshi plays the negative character in his own style, in the concluding part of the film. ‘Lakshya’ serial fame Jagannath Nivangune, has also been wasted in this film. Other character artistes offer the required support. Good cinematography by Raja Fadtare is the plus point of this film. He has picturised one outdoor song very well.

‘Bugadi Majhi Sandali Ga‘ may not appeal the Mumbai audience much; but might invite some response from places like Kolhapur, Nagpur and other small cities in Western Maharashtra, provided it has found theatres at such places.

Miss India 2013 Manasi Moghe will have to wait for some more time to watch herself on a big screen in theatres. Her debut film ‘Bugadi Mazi Sandali Ga’ is not releasing on 20th Feb. ’15 as announced earlier. The film was ready for release, with promotional activities in full swing, but it is learnt that the makers are rescheduling the release date of BMSG.

The makers did have an advantage, as they have Miss India Manasi Moghe in their project. She too was putting in real hard work, in the form of live performances of laavni and getting appreciation from all quarters. It is given to understand that the real reason for the sudden postponement of release date is that, BMSG has received invitation to participate in a few film festivals.

The makers will announce the fresh release date for BMSG very soon . This seems a good decision, considering invites from film festival for a maiden venture and of course, the schools and colleges are gearing up for the ensuing exam fever, this time around.

“I always wanted to become Miss India since my childhood.”confessed Manasi. Her journey started from Indore, where she was born and where she went to school and college, moving to Nagpur for her higher studies to become an Engineer ( in electronics and IT ) and finally to Mumbai, city of opportunities. “My studies and present profession do not match. Since my mother and father are Doctors, I always wanted to do academically well. As I am very good in mathematics I chose engineering,” Manasi was reminiscing. In the final year of her engineering degree, after winning quite a few titles locally, she decided to go after her dream and applied for Femina Miss India contest in 2013. Rest is history, as she won the coveted Miss India Universe title.

Like any other beauty pageant winner, next stop being ‘Bollywood’, she did not get lured by mediocre projects. She was offered Marathi film, which she readily accepted after reading the script. She is debuting in ‘Bugadi Mazi Sandli Ga‘ based on Marathi folk culture, Laavni. “I loved the role offered wherein invigorating emotions are to be expressed and it’s a musical with lots of dancing involved, as I have to perform different types of Laavnis.” expressed Manasi, when asked about why she chose Marathi regional film as a debut film. “Also I am a ‘Marathi mulgi’ so why not?‘. Though not a trained dancer, she went through a rigorous training, for dancing and humorously said that she did not get any scolding from her dance director, who apparently is a task master, during rehearsals or shooting.

This tall ( 5’9″) beauty with brains, who also happens to be extremely able Basketball player, has been amongst the top 7 contestants, at Miss Universe contest 2013. She was declared ‘Miss Diva’ 2013, in the same pageant. She has been associated with ‘Muktangan’, NGO which is involved in uplifting underprivileged children. “I love kids, and I enjoy being surrounded with these kids.” said Manasi.

Marathi movie world wishes, our own ‘Marathi mulgi’, Miss India, Manasi Moghe a grand success in the coming years.

It’s ironical that those film personalities, whose mother tongue is Marathi, are reluctant to be associated with Marathi cinema even after finding laurels in national language films. Contrary to this, South Indian regional film actors/actresses who found success in Hindi film industry made it a point to find time specifically, to be part of their regional cinema. Hopefully Marathi cinema may see the change in the attitude of their so called ‘own’ people and garner their support for the betterment of ‘regional’ Marathi cinema.

It’s a refreshing change to see that a ‘Marathi mulgi’ after clinching the title of Miss India Universe 2013, is making a debut in a Marathi movie, ‘Bugadi Majhi Sandli Ga‘, ( BMSG) in spite of few offers from national language films, which were dangling in front of her. She is Manasi Moghe. This ‘beauty with brains’ girl, featured in top 10 finalists of Miss Universe contest, and also bagged Miss Diva 2013 title in the same competition. While talking to the press, she said that she is proud to be a Maharashtrian and is glad that she is entering movie world with a Marathi film because she can hone her acting talent in a film, which is rooted to soil. Also, she liked the strong and powerful subject based on Marathi folklore.

‘Bugadu Mazi Sandli Ga’ is being directed by noted director Mansingh Pawar. In fact the Producer Shyam Singhania confessed that one of the reasons he is associated with this film, is Mansingh Pawar. Mr Singhania is also of the opinion that since he is rooted to the soil of Maharashtra, he preferred producing a Marathi film than any other language film. BMSG is being presented by Von Ryans Entertainment, under the banner Ticket Films. Story Screenplay and Dialogues are by Mansingh Pawar and multiple music directors, Pravin Kumar; Babru Bhosle; Sachin-Dipesh, are looking after the compositions. Along with debutant Manasi Moghe, Mohan Joshi, Deepa Chaphekar, Ramesh Bhatkar, Ila Bhate are also starring in ‘Bugadi Mazi Sandli Ga’.
