Gripping ‘Code Mantra’ draws a full house on 1st day of New year
Mukta Barve‘s gripping Marathi play ‘Code Mantra‘ has already played 100 shows in just six month’s time, ever since it was launched in June 2016. Incidentally, besides playing the lead role of a military law expert, Mukta Barve is also producer of ‘Code Mantra’, along with other co producers. This play being very close to her heart, you find the finest presentation on Marathi stage, with wonderful performances coming from her and her co stars like Ajay Purkar, Umesh Jagtap, Kaustubh Diwan and many others totaling about 40. The play has special significance, as it is set on the backdrop of an unusual happening in Maratha regiment of Indian Army.
On the first day of this new year, this play was performed at Borivali’s Prabodhankar Thackeray Auditorium and drew a full house, which obviously boosted the morale of the entire team of ‘Code Mantra’. We are all aware about the acting skills of talented Mukta Barve ; but it was nice to see the best from another talented actor Ajay Purkar, whom TV home viewers only recognize as a character actor. Through this play, Ajay plays the lead character of Col. Prataprao Nimbalkar a responsible and powerful Army Officer of Indian Army. Obviously, when both these important characters come face to face on the stage, we find the exchange of fire through words, which have been cleverly captured by the director Rajesh Joshi a well Known director of Gujarathi plays and TV serials and making his debut in Marathi through this play.
‘Code Mantra‘, which has a good subject, has been cleverly presented by the director, to hold the audience to their seats. Through this play, the audience come to know about different ranks of Indian Army and their functions. But, what captures the audience is the presentation of the script. The post interval session is more gripping and filled with suspense, as we notice many interesting happenings. All in all, the cast and technical support team display an excellent team work. Besides wonderful performances by all the artistes, the superb background music, excellent lighting and above all, the captivating realistic set design make ‘Code Mantra’ a worth watch. Don’t miss it.

‘YZ’ offers quality entertainment despite its odd title

Rating: ★★★★
Genres: Drama Censor: U Duration: 130 min. Studio/presenter: Everest Entertainment, Pratisaad Productions presents Producer(s): Sanjay Chhabria, Anish Jog Director: Sameer Vidwans Writer: Kshitij Patwardhan Music: Hrishikesh, Saurabh, Jasraj Cinematographer (DOP): Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti Cast: Sai Tamhankar, Mukta Barve, Sagar Deshmukh, Akshay Tanksale, Parna Pethe Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke |
The title of the film ‘YZ‘ may sound weird, but don’t confuse it for something offensive. The makers of this film, writer Kshitij Patwardhan & Sameer Vidwans have described the meaning of the title as ‘attitude’ of a person in this film. The writer and director duo have already given us films like ‘Time Please‘, which was inspired by their own play ‘Nava Gadi Nava Rajya‘ and last year’s hit film ‘Double Seat‘ , inspired by old Marathi film ‘Mumbaicha Javai‘.
Through their latest film ‘YZ‘ they have presented a humour filled story of a 33 year old bachelor College professor Gajanan Kulkarni ( Sagar Deshmukh) from Wai, who suffers inferiority complex, when it comes to selection of a suitable bride. One day, he is asked by his college principal to go on six months deputation to a college in Pune. After arrival to this new place, he faces a big challenge, as the students from his class are more advanced and mischievous. But, Gajanan finds a good friend , philosopher and guide in one of those students Shyamsunder Prajapati, popularly known as Battis, who helps him to bring in that desired change in his personality.
After taking lessons from Battis, we do notice a big change in Gajanan, as he becomes smarter to understand who could be the right choice for him. During this period, first Parnarekha ( Sai Tamhankar) comes to his life, as proposed by his aunt living in Pune, so that he should settle down in his life, by marrying this 29 year old woman who is too religious. Then comes Antara( Parna Pethe) , his sister’s friend, who is just 20 years old. Antara, who is highly impressed by Gajanan’s Knowledge of Sanskrit and falls in love with him, after taking special tuition of this language from him.
In the meanwhile, he also meets his childhood friend Sailee, who is a divorcee with a little daughter, but in relationship with her friend. When Gajanan is in a dilemma, he consults Battis, who suggests him to take his own decision. Finally, Gajanan does take his own decision. The film has been presented very well, except for becoming little lengthy, in the second half. But, the sequences during Gajanan’s stay in Pune have been made interesting, by the writer and director. The use of Kalidasa’s Shakuntala has been used very well in the Sanskrit song picturisation on Sagar and Parna. Music has therefore played an important role in two songs.
Both Sagar Deshmukh and Akshay Tanksale have proved their class through their respective characters. Sagar in particular has shown his transformation in him, very well through his body language. The credit should also go to his make up artist and dress designer. The scenes picturised on Sagar and Akshay do remind us about the humour created by I.S.Johar and Joy Mukherjee in the 1967 Bollywood Super hit film ‘Shagird‘ Sai Tamhankar has done well through her sober kind of character, while Parna Pethe has proved that she could be the choice of Marathi filmmakers , for Mod-type of roles. The director has also exploited her dancing skills. Mukta Barve has limited role in this film, but, she has made her presence felt, through that lively character of Sailee.
Good support comes from other artistes. Sudhakar Reddy’s cinematography is appealing and so is the sound design of Anmol Bhave, while capturing the life of Wai and liveliness of Pune. The film ‘YZ‘ is targeted not only at the young collegians; but also at married couples and elders. In short, it offers quality entertainment, despite its odd title. Don’t miss it.
‘YZ’ trailer launched in absence of lead actor
Many a times, we find the lead character of the film missing during the music or trailer launch of Marathi films. This was observed during the trailer launch of forthcoming Marathi film ‘YZ‘. In absence of Akshay Tanksale, one of the lead actors, his cut out was displayed at the venue, to indicate his presence during the group photographs with other lead artistes. By the way, Akshay was shooting in London for another film and hence could not make it for this function.
But, during this trailer launch all others connected with ‘YZ‘ film , right from producers Sanjay Chhabriya, Anish Jog, writer Kshitij Patwardhan & director Sameer Vidwans to artistes Sagar Deshmukh, Saii Tamhankar, Mukta Barve, Parna Pethe were present. The trailer of this film clearly indicated that each one of the artistes were playing variety of characters, with a big surprise coming from Saii Tamhankar, who is playing the character of a simple looking bespectacled god fearing woman. Mukta Barve is playing a mod girl, while Parna Pethe plays an unusual character of a Mod girl, who is studying Sanskrit.
The film has already raised curiosity over its title. Now, it remains to be seen, how it defines its title, when the film is released on 12th August 2016.
‘YZ’ will present Mukta Barve, Sai Tamhankar & Parna Pethe together
We have seen two popular Marathi actresses coming together. But, forthcoming Marathi film ‘YZ‘ will present popular actress Mukta Barve not only with Sai Tamhankar; but also with ‘Rama Madhav‘ fame Parna Pethe. All three of them will be seen together, for the first time. Director Sameer Vidwans has succeeded in bringing three of them together, to present female versions of his male dominated film. Though Sagar Deshmukh and Akshay Tanksale play the lead male roles, the three actresses have equally important characters.
According to the director, all three of them have different types of roles , which will be appreciated by Marathi film lovers. While Mukta is playing an ultra modern girl, Sai is playing a totally contrast character of a simple girl. The character of Parna is playing a modern girl, learning Sanskrit language. Produced by Sanjay Chhabriya and Anish Jog, the film ‘YZ‘ is all set to release on 12th August 2016.
