Synopsis
‘Vastraharan':A play within a play, Vastraharan is about a group of actors attempting to stage the vastraharan episode from the Mahabharata. It begins with the performers rehersing on the day of the show. One disaster follows another and it soon turns into a farcical situation. However, the play does ultimately get staged and how! However, there are no surprises in store in the play. It would not be untrue to say that half-an-hour into the play and one knew what to expect. Like a well-oiled machine, not surprising considering they have done more than 3,500 shows, the play unfolds rapidly and takes us into the middle of the action without any waste of time. One farcical situation is followed by another making for very hilarious viewing. There was nothing

Sequel of ‘Goshta Tashi Gamtichi’ announced
In the past we have seen sequels of very few Marathi dramas and now we will find another sequel of hit Marathi play ‘Goshta tashi Gamtichi’. Announcement to this effect was made recently during the 400th show of this play held at Gadkari Rangayatan, Thane and that too in presence of many dignitaries like N.Chandra, Aadesh Bandekar, Jitendra Joshi, Anant Jog, Bhau kadam,Sagar karande and many others.
This popular play starring Mangesh Kadam, Leena Bhagwat & Shashank Ketkar had received very good response from Marathi drama lovers, as the subject of this play dealt with dispute between Father and son, over selection of suitable career by the son. Now, in the sequel the same dispute is carried forward, but in a more dramatic manner. Producer Nandu kadam will be the producer of this sequel , while Mihir Rajda will expand the story and Advait Dadarkar will continue as a director of this sequel too.
Speaking during this announcement, Mangesh kadam said that the sequel of this play is not being made, only because of the success of the play, but out of necessity. He expressed confidence in audience for accepting this sequel, as they loved the existing play.
‘Goshta Tashi Gamtichi’ all set to score unbeaten 400
Shashank Ketkar’s debut Marathi play ‘Goshta Tashi Gamtichi‘ is all set to score unbeaten 400, when this play will perform its 400th show on the auspicious Padwa day during Diwali on 20th October 2017. Highlight of this play is that ever since its launch three years ago, there has been no replacement of artistes for all the 399 shows performed till date. For Shashank Ketkar and Leena Bhagwat this is their first play to reach the 400 mark.
Speaking on this occasion, lead actress Leena Bhagwat said, “This play has given all of us a total satisfaction and happiness. Those who saw this play showered on us the love and affection as family members. And, watching their overwhelming response, we tried to do something different for every new show we performed. This helped us to retain the freshness in the play“. Mangesh kadam, who also plays lead character in this film said that this play received the same kind of appreciation abroad, as much it received from the audience in Maharashtra.
Produced by Nandu Kadam under the banner of Sonal Productions, ‘Goshta Tashi Gamtichi’ play is written by Mihir Rajda and directed by Advait Dadarkar. Music by Abhijit Pendharkar, costumes by Amita Khopkar, Production design by Pradeep Patil and light effects by Ravi Karmarkar are the other credits.

Mangesh & Leena to perform in the second innings of ‘Ke Dil Abhi Bhara Nahi’
We are all aware that versatile artistes Vikram Gokhale and Reema Lagoo performed in the popular Marathi play ‘Ke Dil Abhi Bhara Nahi’ in the recent past. The play directed by Mangesh Kadam was written by Shekhar Dhavlikar. After 74 shows of this play were performed, Mr. Vikram Gokhale could not continue further, as his doctor had advised him not to deliver louder dialogues on health reasons.
So, the same play will now be performed by ‘Goshta Tashi Gamtichi’ pair Mangesh kadam and Leena Bhagwat. So, they will begin the second innings of this play soon. The play is based on the lives of a retired couple and their emotional feelings. The play highlights the usual concern of the retired man about his pension and meeting day to day expenses. But, it also throws light on the need of understanding each other’s emotional feelings. Along with Mangesh and Leena, the play also stars Chandrashekhar Kulkarni and Bageshree Joshirao. The first show of this revived play will be held on 16th July 2016.
