On his return to India, Nipun has proudly praised the authorities handling the situation at the airport. ” They were checking every passenger. There was a line stretching for nearly half a kilometer. The documentation was good. The doctors were working very seriously and with complete dedication. We were stamped and are under home quarantine till the 4th of April. After the stamp they gave us a poster with do’s and don’ts while being quarantined at home. At the immigration they noted our address and again we were divided in groups of 8-10 people. An officer was assigned to each group who waited till everyone collected their bags and led us outside customs till we reached the prepaid taxi stands. Then again, they documented our basic info and left.”

Nipun further adds, “On reaching home, the next day we received a call from Shivajinagar Police station where they confirmed our details. Very politely, they asked us not to step outside the house, which we agreed to. In the evening, we received a call from Pune Municipal Corporation officers who came home to visit. We asked them if it was safe for them to come home, to which they replied that they are wearing gloves and masks and wont take more than a few minutes after which they will sanitize themselves. They gave us another pamphlet with do’s and don’ts, applied voters ink to our fingers and gave us a number on which we have to call them everyday and report our well-being. They even told us that they will get us any groceries and supplies if needed. The reason for sharing all of this is, that while I am reading many posts about how poorly India is handling this,my first hand experience is different. At least at the administrative level, India is handling it very seriously. Much much better than the USA.”

Nipun has however expressed his anguish after watching the videos of idiots coming out on roads in groups and celebrating at 5 PM on last sunday. “This was meant to be a moment wherein we thank the authorities. Authorities who are really doing their jobs. And these idiots might have just taken us to the next stage of this pandemic. To everyone reading this…. can we please stay at home and help our country and the society as a whole? It’s ok to feel bored.. it’s not the end of the world. But if you get out, it might just be…” he added.

Amey Wagh, who is also under home Quarantine , also shared his experience. “I was remembering my family. But, my courteous neighbour Sonali Kulkarni sent lunch box for me and Sajiri. It was a wonderful gesture from her. And this offered both of us the required positivity at this crucial stage. I appeal to all of you to remain at home during this lockdown period and be positive. ‘Go Corona Go’!”

Today’s children will be responsible citizens of tomorrow. And therefore their proper grooming is very important. Besides learning the right things from school it is necessary for the children to find good company in the neighborhood to socialize in a right manner. For this, they need to take active part in extra curricular activities, instead of getting addicted to mobiles and computer games. Writer Girish Kulkarni who is also producer of new Marathi film ‘Dhappa‘ with the help of director Nipun Dharmadhikari has offered a sensible film on this subject, which revolves around a group of children living in a housing society in the city of Pune.

Though some of the children are mischievous and are involved in their regular fights over petty issues, they have strong bonding developed among them, with the efforts taken by one of the resident Anuradha Deodhar (Vrushali Kulkarni) whose little daughter is also part of this group of children. The children call her Anuradha tai . There are also two mature children namely Surhud (Aakash Kamble) who is suffering from neuromuscular disease and Sharvi ( Sharvi Kulkarni) who sorts out all their problems and keeps them together. Surhud who rides an automatic wheel chair is respected by the children and is addressed by them as Hawkya( Short name of Well Known British Physicist Stephen Hawking).

The story of this film begins when Anu tai plans to present a play of these children based on human evolution and environment during the community Ganapati festival and they begin their planning. Initially, some children are reluctant to perform because of the subject instead of their favourite mythology. But, the creative Anu tai with the help of Surhud and Sharvi incorporate such characters to make it more interesting from their point of view but without changing the theme. When the news about their play reaches the leader of a political party of their area through one of the residents, he with the help of his goons threatens Anu tai and the children, to keep away from performing this play. How these children face this challenge and how they unite to show their strength is what the second part of this 1 hour 55 minute long film is all about.

Writer Girish Kulkarni and director Nipun Dharmadhikari have really worked hard to counter the existing social terrorism which comes in the way of National Integration. Very cleverly they have selected little children to convey this timely message to the society in an entertaining way. Watch the code language used by the children while communicating among themselves to maintain secrecy, which is the best part of the film. Every scene in this film is well planned and the entire team seems to have worked hard in its management. Also each and every character has a special significance in the screenplay, including the children of society watchman who are treated on par with other children by sensible society residents. The inclusion of characters like Soman kaka( Chandrakant Kale) and Mohite Aaji ( Jyoti Subhash) generate a lot of humour with their presence through few scenes.

Besides the group of talented children, there are few other versatile artistes like Sunil Barve, Irawati Harshe, Shrikant Yadav, Umesh Jagtap, Chhaya Kadam, Girish Kulkarni and others, who have contributed sincerely towards an excellent presentation of this timely subject. Suitable Music by Gandhaar, fine cinematography by Swapnil Sonavane and apt editing by Suchitra Sathe are the other plus points of this creative film. Don’t look at this film as a children’s film. All in all It is a worth watch film for all.
