‘Behind every successful man there is a woman’, as she is the one who lays a firm foundation with the bricks that others have thrown at her husband. And at the same time, ‘Behind every successful woman there is a man’, as he is the one who believed in his wife, when nobody else did. But, do you know that, ‘Behind every successful working woman there is a housemaid’. To find out the reason, you will have to watch the latest released Marathi film ‘Nach Ga Ghuma’.
Incidentally, Marathi cinema is known for offering some thought provoking subjects, which are targeted at mass audience. Today’s city lifestyle is such that every person in the house is dependent on others. And when you think about a working couple with their school going kid, their dependability is more on a sincere housemaid, who should be able to manage the house and their kid.
‘Nach Ga Ghuma’ directed by Paresh Mokashi presents two such working women who have sweet and sour relationship between them. They are, Rani ( Mukta Barve) and her housemaid – Ashatai ( Namrata Sambherao). In this film, we find a small family comprising of Anand (Sarang Sathye) and his wife Rani busy with their respective jobs. They have a 6 year old school going daughter Sayali alias Chiku ( Myra Vaikul). To manage the house and their little daughter, they hire the services of a housemaid for 12 hours a day. The family is so dependent on Ashatai that even her late arrival on duty by 15-30 mins, upsets their daily schedule. Especially, Rani who has to suffer the most, as she has to face the heat in office from her boss.
Director Paresh Mokashi has presented this interesting subject in an entertaining way in the first half. In the second half he tries to highlight the emotional attachment among all the characters with some interesting happenings, to keep the audience engaged. Though the climax in predictable, the film certainly succeeds in entertaining the audience, with wonderful performances from all the artistes. While Mukta, Sarang, Myra are at their best, the actress who steals the show is Namrata Sambherao. Through this film, she could offer not only comedy in which she is at her best, but also her emotional feelings very well. Sharmistha Raut, Madugandha Kulkarni , Sukanya Kulkarni, Supriya Pathak, Sunil Abhyankar have offered good support through their respective characters, while Swapnil Joshi and Lalit Prabhakar have little to do through their special appearance.
‘Nach Ga Ghuma’ is a well presented film with a good social message, offered by director Paresh Mokashi, who has also extracted the best out of all the artistes. He has received good support from music director Tanmay Bhide, cinematographer Sandeep GN Yadav and Faisal Mahadik with his perfect editing work. It’s a family entertainer. No wonder the film is still drawing good crowds at cinema theatres in the 2nd week. So, Don’t miss it.

‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka’ offers casual entertainment

To keep the audience engaged throughout the film, should be the sole motive of an entertaining film. Especially, when the theme of the film is based on comedy, there are big expectations from the director of the film. Paresh Mokashi, who directed the films like ‘Harishchandrachi Factory‘ and ‘Elizabeth Ekadashi‘ has now presented his latest film ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka‘, raising expectations from the Marathi film audience. But, the film has turned out to be a casual entertainer.
The film presents the story of two youngsters Savitri( Mrinmayee Godbole) and Satya ( Lalit Prabhakar), who are from different fields. While Satya is an Electronics engineer, who is very much concerned about water conservation, Savitri is a Veterinary doctor, who is very much against anyone harming an insect or an animal. Both of them are brought together by their respective family members, with an arranged marriage. But, Savitri, in spite of knowing Satya through her friend, puts a condition that she would marry Satya, provided she is given a chance live with him on a trial basis for few days, to understand him.
In spite of opposition from parents , Satya accepts this condition and both of them live together in a room, only to create misunderstandings among family members from both the sides. There are fights between them. Then, we also notice Savitri fighting like a kid with her elder sister who is pregnant and younger school going brother. Most of the time in this film has been wasted in unnecessary quarrels between different characters, who sound loud.
Actually, what the film maker wanted to show, he could not present in two hours and thirteen minutes, due to poor screenplay and limited content. Initially, through another couple separating after their court marriage, he clearly hinted that all love marriages are not successful, showing the instant break up of a young couple, who could not stay without each other’s company earlier.
However, in the case of Satya and Savitri, he has tried to show that ‘Live in relationship‘ is the only way to understand each other, no matter how much time it takes? Today, in the name of comedy and entertainment, anything is being offered and some our Bollywood films are the best example. This film has tried nothing different from such films. Now, how the audience would accept this idea, remains a big question.
Performances from the artistes are just fine, but all of them are too loud and quarrelling with each other most of the time, which has taken away the interest from the subject of ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka‘ film. Music composed by Narendra Bhide is just fine, but the sound recording and the fine photography by Sudhir Palsane, have turned out to be the plus points of ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka‘ film.
