A lot is expected from Marathi Women film directors

After watching the success of Sai Paranjape in Hindi films and Marathi theatre right from 70s, many women in Maharashtra were inspired to move into direction. And the two prominent names were Aruna Raje and Sushma Shiromani. Aruna successfully shouldered the responsibility of directing the Hindi films like ‘Rihaee’ starring big stars like Hema Malini, Vinod Khanna, Naseeruddin Shah & Reema Lagoo and ‘Bhairavi‘, Sushma offered commercial Marathi films like ‘Fatakdi‘, ‘Bhingari‘ & ‘Kadaklakshmi‘. Recently, Aruna Raje made her comeback through a Marathi film ‘Firebrand‘ starring Sachin Khedekar, Usha Jadhav & Girish Kulkarni, which was released on Netflix last month.

Then we saw the rise of women film makers like Shrabani Deodhar through award-winning films like ‘Lapandaav‘ & ‘Sarkarnama‘ and Kanchan Adhikari through a sensible film like ‘Manini‘ which was the first Marathi film shot in Dubai. Kanchan had already become popular on television, when she directed a mega serial ‘Damini‘. Actress turned director late Smita Talwalkar also offered some good sensible films, besides directing her debut film ‘Savat Majhi Laadki‘.

“I guarantee that ‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa’ will be a super hit film” – Rohit Shetty

'Ye Re Ye Re Paisa' Marathi Movie music launch
‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa’ Marathi Movie music launch

Known for his ‘Golmaal’ series , Rohit Shetty has offered a new kind of humor to Hindi cinema and the audience have appreciated all his films, be it comedy or action. So, when the music of forthcoming humor filled film ‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa’ was launched in a big way, the makers of this film and presenters Zee Studios could not think of anyone else than Rohit Shetty, to be the chief guest. Accompanied by his favorite actor Shreyas Talpade,  Rohit walked towards the dais to join director Sanjay Jadhav in the introductory session of the event. He later released the music CD of this film.


In his short speech he was all praise for the trailer of this film and said, “I guarantee that ‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa’ will be a super hit film.” When asked about his connection with Marathi artistes and Marathi language, Rohit reacted, “I love Marathi films and Marathi culture and my wife is a Maharashtrian. That’s the big connection.  I like Marathi artistes, because they have no ego about their talent. I had very good connect with Siddharth, who is in this film, as he worked in my film ‘Golmaal’ Part 1. “ Talking about Marathi films, he said that he had seen ‘Duniyadari’ three times.

All the lead artistes in the film namely Mrunal Kulkarni Sanjay Narvekar , Siddharth JadhavTejaswini Pandit & Umesh Kamat were introduced by anchor Poorvi Bhave, by asking them individual questions and all of them praised  Cinematographer turned director Sanjay Jadhav for his friendly style of working. Shreyas Talpade, who had come as a special invitee narrated an incidence, how producer Amey Khopkar had helped him to find roles in films,  during his days of struggle.

From the first look, it appears that ‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa’ is a mad comedy, full of misunderstandings and set on the backdrop of demonetization of 500 and 1000 rupee notes. This multi starrer film  revolves around five individuals, Aditya, Sunny, Bubly, Anna & Janhavi played by Umesh Kamat, Sidhharth Jadhav, Tejaswini Pandit, Sanjay Narvekar & Mrunal Kulkarni respectively, who try to reach respective ends in their life personally and professionally. But, all five of them get into trouble with each other. It’s a good subject suited for a comedy; but it remains to be seen, how the Marathi audience would respond at ticket windows on 5th January 2018, when the film will be released in theatres. However, when Rohit Shetty has assured the film a grand success it means a lot.

The film is presented by Zee Studios, Produced by Om Prakash Bhatt, Swati Khopkar, Sujay Shankarwar, Rajesh Banga and is directed by Sanjay Jadhav. Story by Sanjay Jadhav, dialogues by Arwind Jagtap, cinematography by Pushpank Gawde, and music by Amitraj & Pankaj Padghan are the other credits.

 Marathi Movie & Jara Hatke
Shivani Rangole, Indraneil Sengupta, Mrunal Kulkarni, Siddharth Menon and Sonali Anand, Marathi movie ‘& Jara Hatke

Produced by creative film maker Ravi Jadhav and presented by Eros Entertainment, forthcoming Marathi film ‘& Jara hatke‘ had already generated a lot of curiosity about the subject of this film, among Marathi film lovers. Yesterday afternoon, when the trailer of this film was released, in presence of entire star cast and media persons, certain things became very clear and one of them was that it promises a fresh subject, penned by Mitali Joshi and directed by Prakash Kunte, who had earlier given us a hit film like ‘Coffee Aani Barach Kahi‘.

Before the release of film’s trailer and a song, the young pair of this film Siddharth Menon and Shivani Rangole, introduced themselves, with the names of their respective characters. They then called upon the lead senior pair of this film Indraneil Sengupta & Mrunal Kulkarni, who are playing their respective single parents in the film. In the film the single parents meet each other after a gap of 20 years and their closeness turns into love. They want to live together and hence ask their children for permission to do so. Both the children, who are teenagers also meet each other and the film’s story takes a different turn, which we will come to know, only after watching ‘& Jara hatke‘ film. But, the selection of artistes, seemed to be most appropriate. Now, it remains to be seen, how this fresh subject would appeal to the Marathi film audience.

Suhas Joshi, Sonali Anand, Spruha Joshi & Sandesh Kulkarni are the other important artistes in this film. Music by Aditya Bedekar & lyrics by Mahesh Kangane are other credits of the film. The film is all set to release on 22nd July 2016.
