Now, ‘Aapla Talkies’ also joins to offer Marathi movies 24X7
We already have few TV channels like Zee Talkies & Maiboli , offering Marathi Movies round the clock. But now, there is addition of one more channel, to offer old classic and latest Marathi movies, 24×7 on Marathi television. At present, this channel is available on few service providers. But, it is expected to expand its network soon. Earlier, the name of this channel was different, but now, we understand that , they have finalized it as ‘Aapla Talkies’.
By the way, Zee Talkies will telecast world premiere of Marathi film ‘Carry On Maratha’ which was released just four months ago. And, that is a big news. But, Colors Marathi channel is also presenting TV World Premiere of another hit film ‘Balkadu’ coming Sunday i.e.13th December 2015 at 12 noon and 7 pm. Incidentally, ‘Balkadu’ was also released early this year. So, henceforth one thing is clear that the home viewers will get to see new Marathi films, within 4 to 10 months from their release date. However, home viewers are more keen to see some award winning films, instead of commercial films. Best example was that of ‘Zing Chik Zing’ which was recently shown on Maiboli channel.
Now days, there is lot of importance given to marriage ceremonies in TV serials. We have seen this happen in many TV serials in the recent past. Now, ‘Nanda Saukhyabhare’ on Zee Marathi, is getting ready to show the marriage of Neel and Swanandi , in a two hour long episode on coming Sunday. There is another marriage of Ishaan & Gauri also on the cards, in another TV serial ‘Tumcha Aamcha Same Asata’ non Star Pravah. And, how can we forget the most awaited marriage between Yash and Jui in ‘Asa Saasar Surekh Bai’ on Colors Marathi ? One thing is sure that both these marriages are sure to take place, as per the traditional practice followed by our serial makers. Now, how long they will take, depends upon the patience of the viewers.
The two Marathi serials, i.e. ‘Runji’ on Star Pravah and ‘Kamla’ on Colors channel, which started off well, are now tasting the patience of the viewers, with such events taking place , which are not at all convincing. Instead of watching such serials, it is better to watch some new subjects on social issues, presented by Doordarshan Sahyadri channel.
Zee Marathi are getting ready to introduce another love story, through their forthcoming serial ‘Pasant Aahe Mulgi’. However, which serial it will replace, is not known yet. Actually, it’s high time ‘Honar Suun Mi Hya Gharchi’ says Good Bye, after the delivery of Janhavi. But, we will have to wait and see, whether this will happen.

‘Ka Re Durava’ bags 9 Zee Marathi Awards
In spite of tough competition from artistes and their family members, Marathi serial ‘Ka Re Durava’ bagged 9 Zee Awards in different sections, during the recently concluded Zee Marathi TV awards 2015. The telecast of this event with the concept’‘Utsav Natyancha Atut Maitricha’ filled with fun and entertainment, will be telecast on 1st November at 7 pm, as per announcement made by Zee Marathi channel.
Though ‘Ka Re Durava’ won the best Zee Marathi serial award and other awards, the best actor and best actress awards went to Khandoba and Mhalsa-Banu jointly. ‘Dil Dosti Duniyadari’ serial the best family award, while Swanandi received the fresh face of the year award, sponsored by Waman Hari Pethe. The highlight of the entertainment programme presented on the occasion, was the couple dance event, presented by all the couples of different serials.
Popular characters Ashu and kaivalya from ‘Dil Dosti Duniyadari’ not only anchored the show, but also presented some skits to entertain the invitees. Bhau kadam & company also presented their fun filled skit. Though, ‘Nanda Saukhyabhare’ is a recently aired serial, their artistes, Ramesh Bhatkar, Vaibhav Mangle & Nandita Dhuri invited attention, during this programme.
‘Dil Dosti…. ‘ should come out of the four walls
The most popular serial among youngsters, ‘Dil Dosti Duniyadari’ is content most of the time, covering the happenings, within the four walls of the house, where the friends live at present. For a change, we only see Reshma’s first house , Reshma buying vegetables on the road or once the group going to a restaurant. Actually, looking at the popularity of the characters, it is high time, they should move for outing, for trekking, picnic or so. Watching the expressions on their faces and body language, it also gives an impression that even they, desperately need outing.
When we saw our ‘Double Seat’ film pair, coming for promotion in one of the episodes of this serial, it gave an impression that the friends will have to make some alternate arrangement, for their accommodation. But, that did not happen. It was just a fun. One can understand about the situation of the friends coming together after a tiring day, at this place. But, there is always a Sunday, which they can use for outing together.
In ‘Majhe Mann Tujhe Jhale’, we see Shekhar offering shelter to a stranger little notorious boy, in his house, much against the wish of his female family members. . But, instead of sending him to school or putting him in a good boarding school, he is encouraging him to do the work at home. Last time, this boy, was shown selling old bhangar items, in front of their house. Isn’t that encouraging child labour ? By the way, the boy doesen’t look like an Orphan. And, he is too loud, with his Bambaiya accent, which is commonly seen in Bollywood films.
‘Nanda Soukhyabhare’ seems to be going ‘Runji’ way. At least, the initial episodes indicate so. Just watch the characters in this serial and the happenings, especially, the behavior of street smart Swanandi. Hope, it does not repeat the same ‘tit for tat’ attitude between Saas and bahu after her marriage.
Now, talking about Jui played by Mrunal Dusanis in ‘Asa Saasar Surekh Bai’ , we find her almost in the second lead, with lot of importance being given to her sister. Also, the character of an educated youngster played by Santosh Juvekar, is shown, believing in what his fortune teller uncle advises him. Otherwise, he is shown a self respected person. Well, we all know, that finally he is going to marry Jui; but, how long he is going to tolerate Jui’s arrogant sister ? Let us wait and see.
