धुमकिट धुमकिट तदानी धुमकिट,

नटनागर नट हिमनट पर्वत उभा,
Natnaagar Nat Himnat Parvat Ubha,
उत्तुंग नभा घुमतो मृदुंग,
Uttung Nabha Ghumato Mrudung,
पखवाज देत आवाज झनन झंकार,
Pakhawaaj Det Aawaz Jhanan Jhankaar,
लेउनी स्त्रीरूप भुलवी नटरंग,
Leuni Striroop Bhulavi Natrang,
रसिक होऊ दे दंग चढु दे रंग असा खेळाला,
Rasik Hou De Dhang, Chadhu De Rang Asa Khelala,
साता जन्मांची देवा पुण्याई लागू दे आज पणाला,
Saata janmachi Deva Punyai Laagu de aaj Panala,
हात जोडतो आज आम्हाला दान तुझा दे संग,
Haath Jodato, Aaj Aamhala Daan Tujha De Sang,
नटरंग उभा ललकारी नभा स्वरताल जाहले दंग – 2
Natarang Ubha Lalakari Nabha, Swartaal Jahale Dang -2

दहीदुध लोणी घागर भरुनी नेऊ कशी बाजारी,
Dahidhudh Loni, Ghagar Bharuni Neu Kashi bajari,
बावरले मी सावरले ग जाऊ कशी चोरुन बाई,
Baavarale mi saavarale ga Jau Kashi Chorun baai,
मथुरेच्या बाजारी.. कशी मी जाऊ मथुरेच्या बाजारी?
Mathurachya Baajari, Kashi mi Jaau Mathurechya Baajari?

नटखट भारी किस्नमुरारी टपला यमुनातीरी,
Natkhat Bhari Kisnamurari Tapala yamunatiri,

मन भुलवी असा कान्हा झुलवी असा हा नटनागर गिरीधारी,
Mann Bhulavi, Asa Kanha Jhulavi Asa ha Natnaagar Giridhari,

त्याच्या संग दंगले, रास रंगले, पिरतीची रीत न्यारी,
Tyacya Sange Dangale, Raas Rangle, Pirtichi Reet Nyari,

Kashi mi Jaau Mathurechya Baajari?

Raaya Bhan Majh Mala Hoinaa,
मला जाऊ द्या ना घरी, आता वाजले की बारा.
Mala jau dya na Ghari, Ata Wajale ki Baara.

जीवा लागलीया गोडी तरी कळ काढा थोडी,
Jiva Lagaliya Godi Tari Kal Kadha Thodi,

Ghadi Aatachi hi tumhi Rahu Dya,
मला जाऊ द्या ना घरी, आता वाजले की बारा,
Mala jau dyana Ghari , Ata Wajale ki bara.

Song: Apsara Aali lyrics

Komal Kaya ki Mohamaya, punvachandan nhali,
कोमल काया की मोहमाया, पुनवचांदनं न्हाली
Sonyat Sajale, Roopyat Bhijali, Ratnaprabhatun lyali,
सोन्यात सजले, रूप्यात भिजले, रत्नप्रभा तनू ल्याली,
Hi Natali Thatali, Jashi Umatali, Chandani Rangmahali
ही नटली थटली , जशी उमटली, चांदणी रंगमहाली,
Mi Yauwan Vijali, Pahun Thijali, Indrasabh Bhavatali.
मी यौवन बिजली, पाहून थिजली, इंद्रसभा भवताली .

अप्सरा आली इंद्रपुरीतुन खाली,
Apsara Aaali, Intrapuritun Khali,
पसरली लाली रत्नप्रभा तनु ल्याली,
Pasarali laali, Ratnaprabatanu lyali,
ती हसली गाली चांदनी रंगमहाली,
Ti Hasali Gaali Chandani Rangmahali,
अप्सरा आली पुनवचांदनं न्हाली,
Apsara Aali Punvachandani Nhali,

छबिदार सुरत देखणी, जणू हिरकणी, नार गुलजार,
Chabidaar Surat Dekhani, Janu Hirakani, Naar Guljaar,
सांगते उमर कंचुकी, बापुडी मुकी, सोसते भार,
Sangate Umar Kanchuki, Bapuri Muki , Sasate Bhaar,
शेलटी खुणावे कटि, तशी हनुवटी, नयन तलवार,
Shelati Khunave Kati, Tashi Hanuvati, Nayan Talawar,
ही रति मदभरली दाजी ठिनगी शिनगाराची
Hi Rati Madanbharali Daji Thinagi Shingaarachi
कस्तुरी दरवळली दाजी झुळुक ही वार्याची
Kasturi Daravalaji Daaji Jhuluk Hi Varyachi

ही नटली थटली जशी उमटली चांदणी रंगमहाली,
Hi Natali Thatali, jashi Umatali Chandani Rangmahali,
मी यौवन बिजली पाहुन थिजली इंद्रसभा भवताली
Mi Yauvan Bijali Pahun Thijali Indrasabha Bhavatali

अप्सरा आली इंद्रपुरीतुन खाली
Apsara Aaali, Intrapuritun Khali
पसरली लाली रत्नप्रभा तनु ल्याली

Debutant ad-filmmaker Ravi Jadhav’s ‘Natarang’ is a film that has raised the bar for quality Marathi films. The film adapted for screen from Dr. Anand Yadav’s classic novel, is a bench mark in Marathi films made on rural backdrop.

The story of ‘Nararang’ is about Guna Kagalkar (Atul Kulkarni) a village wrestler with bulging muscles who is a farm worker by profession and lives happily with his wife(Vibhavari Deshpande) and children along with his old father (Yakoob Sayeed).
It’s difficult for Guna to make two ends meet, especially because of his passion for ‘Tamasha’ a Maharashtrian dance form with ‘Lavnis’ (seductive songs).

Guna’s ultimate dream is to play a king’s role in ‘Tamasha’and so he gathers a team of unemployed friends in the village and starts his own ‘Tamasha’ troupe and a veteran ‘Tamasha’ artiste (Kishor Kadam) helps them find the ‘dancer’(Sonalee) for their troupe. But, soon Guna is in a soup to find a ‘Nachya’ or the so called clown, who brings on the laughter in the ‘Tamasha’.

Finally, the manly muscular Guna has to play ‘Nachya’ himself, much to his chagrin; but he does so for the sake of his troupe and gets a complete makeover by becoming thin and shaving his moustache off. Guna’s troupe becomes the talk of the town but he has to lose his wife and children for his ‘Tamasha’. Interspersed in this narrative is local politics besides the competition between various ‘Tamasha’ troupes, gay artistes, etc.
But the film grabs your attention right from start to end because of Atul Kulkarni’s powerful performance, especially the scenes where he has to pose girlie in a wrestler’s body. The rest of the cast is also impressive , especially Vibhavari Deshpande, Kishor Kadam, Sandesh Jadhav, Milind Shinde, Priya Berde, etc . Sonalee looks good and dances well. Amruta Khanvilkar’s cameo is also impressive.

The music by Ajay-Atul is already a hit with the masses especially the ‘Apsara’ song and other folk numbers with good lyrics by Guru Thakur. The dialogues by Guru Thakur are well-written. The cinematography by Mahesh Limaye is slick with lots of night scenes and back lighting with soft focus lens capturing the village landscapes beautifully.

Zee Talkies deserve kudos to back a project like ‘Natarang’ and actor Atul Kulkarni who in true Robert De Niro style, had to build a strong physique by extensive workout and diet and then losing it all for the role. The film is a must-see for Atul’s performance and Ravi Jadhav’s good debut (his flashback style is very impressive).

‘Natarang’ is a film that comes once in a while. See it ASAP!

‘Natarang’ is the story of GUNA, a farm worker from backward community, who is an amateur wrestler who dreams of playing the King in the traditional Marathi folk art- Tamasha. Atul Kulkarni -the national award winning actor, is portraying Guna in ‘Natarang’. This film is directed by debutant director Ravi Jadhav and music of this film is composed by Ajay- Atul, the top most musician duo from Marathi film industry.

The post ‘Zee Talkies’ ‘Natarang’ to be screened at MAMI. appeared first on .

Few years ago she was seen just one of those smart young girls in in the city of Pune pursuing her job as a professional writer after completing her Mass Communication. Now, we see her playing a typical old fashioned Village woman of 60s or a traditional Maharashtrian woman of early 20th century. It does give a feeling whether another Smita Patil is born. For an artist of her caliber it is the character that’s most important. Watching her perform in ‘Harichandrachi factory’and ‘Natarang’ in prominent roles, no one could believe that she was just one of those mod college girls moving with modern outfits in Smita Talwalkar’s film ‘Saat Chya Aat Gharaat’, which was released just few years ago.

Toady, Vibhavari Deshpande has certainly made her mark into Marathi films with the help of her solid theatre background. In an interview to MMW, Vibhavari talks about herself and her experiences in this field.
Vibhavari deshpande
Q. What prompted you enter this creative field of acting ?
Since my childhood, while I was studying in Garware High School, Pune, I used to watch Marathi plays. When I joined Fergusson College for my BA course, I started performing on stage. I attended a workshop of Pt. Satyadev Dube and also attended a theatre workshop at NSD , Delhi. There was also lot to learn at Lalit kala Kendra. Later, when I joined GRIP Theatre movement, which is an Indo -German group, I developed myself to write script and also act. After completing my Mass Communication, I was working with Mr. Shrirang Godbole’s Magic Eye, as a professional writer. However, my interest in plays continued. I got my first break into films through ‘Shwaas’ with a small role. Later I played one of the seven students in Smita Talwalkar’s film ‘Saat Chya Aat Gharaat’. Also performed a cameo role in
Amol Palekar’s film and worked in Dr. Jabber Patel’s documentary. That’s how it all began few years ago. In between, I had taken a break for domestic commitments; but now, I am back with films.

Q. Whether it was playing a woman in the era of early 20th century or a typical poor village woman of 1960’s time; how did you prepare yourself mentally ?
It’s all psychological process of believing what you are at that particular moment. For people who are already into acting field, especially having done stage; it becomes much easier. If you are asking my own experience, I paid more attention on body language of these characters. While playing Ms. Phalke in Harischandrachi factory, the director Mr. Paresh Mokashi had already given us clear hints through the scripts; as to how that character is supposed to behave besides the dialogues. It clearly explained that women those days though dressed up according to the tradition, were forward in their thinking process and smart enough to take their own decisions. You must have noticed this lady, saying a flat ‘No’ to playing that much required woman character in that film, when no one was available. It was not because, she was scared, but she knew that she had some other responsibilities to shoulder at that crucial time In ‘Natarang’ I worked more on situation, and accordingly decided to emote strongly , wherever required. Watch that scene, where this lady drives away her husband who returns to take her back. In short, if the script is well written describing the character, performing that role becomes easier.

Q. While Nandu Madhav performed on stage, you appreciated his performance as a teenager. Did you ever think that one day you would play his heroine ?
Not at all. Actually, I knew him before I was signed to play. For me, Nandu was an elderly person, whom I respected a lot. When I was told about my selection to play opposite him, I was trilled.

Q. After watching you in the get up of 9 yard Sarees, Marathi film lovers are keen to watch you in a different style . Are you prepared to take on such challenges ? If so, what kind of roles, you prefer to play ?
Yes, of course! I am too eager to do a different role with a different look; hopefully soon. But, that does not mean that I am going to say. No  to the kind of roles I have played before. It all depends on the importance of the character in that film.

Q. Do you think that Marathi films have really come off age ? In that case, what will be the form of Marathi films in next two-three year’s time
Yes , it is welcome change. All these film makers of recent times have really worked hard to offer good presentations. Especially, those directors with theatre background have done extremely well. As far as the new audience is concerned, especially the middle and upper middle class have started visiting the nearby theatres. Now, even the multiplex owners who were reluctant to release Marathi films, are asking for the prints. It only hurts me, when I see those pirated DVD’s of Marathi films purchased by our own people. Why can’t they help stop this piracy? Unless our own people come together and prevent this piracy, nothing is going to work. I have seen in South India, whether it is Chennai or Bangalore, it is the joint effort of common people which has prevented the piracy of their regional films. No one dares to sell the pirated DVD’s of their regional films. If we have to witness prosperity of our Marathi cinema in next 2-3 years time, this piracy is to be stopped completely with moral policing.

Q. If not shooting or performing in Dramas/ serials; how busy is Vibhavari otherwise ?
If not shooting, I get busy with my writing work. At present I am already writing dialogues for popular Marathi serial ‘Agnihotra’ as one of the three members of the script team. Even otherwise, during my free time I am associated with my GRIP Theatre movement, writing scripts for their forthcoming projects.

Q What future plans ? Will you also be doing TV serials ?
I will certainly continue with film projects, be it in the capacity of a writer or an actress. But, I have decided not to act in serials. I had few offers and I said no to them. I just don’t want to mix up that area with my film projects. As far as my association with stage is concerned, I don’t mind working on stage. Soon, I will be associated with one such project with GRIP.
