Having made his debut as a director in Marathi film industry through an emotion filled drama ‘Hridayantar’ two years ago, renowned Bollywood Costume designer Vikram Phadnis has now returned with another Marathi film ‘Smile Please’. While in his previous film Vikram presented the marital crisis of a couple married over 12 years, yet glued to their brittle married life, in the present film he presents the trauma faced by the wife after divorce, while facing her teenage daughter, who hates her and lives with her husband.
Nandini (Mukta Barve) a divorcee, who is an award winning fashion photographer, lives with her father (Satish Alekar) and housekeeper Jyoti (Trupti Khamkar). On few occasions, she keeps meeting her ex husband Shishir (Prasad Oak) and her around 12 year old daughter Nupur ( Vedashree Mahajan) . But, her daughter’s strange behaviour with her mother, disturbs Nandini, who undergoes disturbed state of mind. Life is not easy for her , as she has to keep away from her busy work schedule. At this crucial period of time, a little before the stroke of interval a youngster Viraj ( Lalit Prabhakar) who is known to her father’s friend walks in their house, as a guest for few days. Viraj wins the trust of all members of the family, except Shishir, who hates him.
So, in the post interval stage we notice how the efforts of Viraj help Nandini to face such a situation by regaining her self confidence . He also helps Nupur to understand her mother . In short, Viraj plays a good Samaritan. ‘Smile Please’ is a good effort from director Vikram Phadnis selecting a social problem which exists in families where both husband and wife have busy lifestyle. He has also shown the way but his screenplay really takes off only after the arrival of Viraj, however, the interaction between Trupti Khamkar in the role of Jyoti, the housekeeper and Satish Alekar (as Nandini’s father) , helps bring some humour into the screenplay.
Nevertheless, the performances by Mukta Barve, Prasad Oak, Satish Alekar, Lalit Prabhakar, Aditi Govitrikar and Vedashree helps give a realistic look to the film. Mukta Barve in particular has stole the show with her superb performance. Music has limited scope in this film, with two songs, but Rohan-Rohan have made their presence felt . Costumes designing done by Vikram Phadnis is no doubt worth appreciating, but above all, it is the photography by Milind Jog which impresses the most. Though this film deals with a serious subject, it is certainly a worth watch film for the sake of superb performances by the main artistes.

Prasad Oak makes announcement of his film ‘Hirkani’ on Women’s day
Actor- director Prasad Oak is back to direction. Combining with his writer friend Chinmay Mandlekar, he has announced the launch of his film ‘Hirkani’. This film is inspired by the story of brave mother called Hirkani, who had created a history with her adventure filled journey carrying her little child in her arms while coming down from Raigad fort during the dark night. With this film the duo of writer Chinmay and director Prasad will be working together after a long time, since they worked for their last film ‘Kachha Limbu’.
The story of ‘Hirkani’ film is penned by well Known writer Pratap Gangavane, while the screenplay and dialogues are written by actor-writer Chinmay Mandlekar. Since this film is based on the incident in Maratha history, there is lot of curiosity, as to who will play the title role in this film. But, the makers of this film have decided to keep it a secret at present and the name of the actress is likely to be announced later.
Colors- Marathi offers inspiring tales of legends
Marathi television plays a very important role in educating the audience and at the same time offering subjects to inspire them, besides offering entertainment. There are some serials, which are based on mythology, but they are prolonged , taking away the interest of the audience. However, the new serial on Colors Marathi, suitably titled ‘Awaaz-Itihasatlya Soneri Panacha‘, which began on 27th June 2016 has already completed two chapters, covering the biopic of two legends namely ‘Sant Dnyaneshwar‘ and ‘Mahatma Jyotiba Phule‘ the legends in history of Maharashtra. It was a pleasure to watch the performances of Saurabh Gokhale and Prasad Oak, portraying the roles of Sant Dnyaneshwar and Mahatma Jyotiba Phule .
After covering the important events in their lives in about eight episodes each, now they have started the chapter of Rani Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore, whose reign in central India lasted for about 30 years. Ahilyabai was a very able ruler and a perfect organizer and was highly respected person. Therefore, it will be interesting to watch her story on small screen, through this serial. It is also interesting to watch Urmila Kanetkar Kothare playing her character, after returning to small screen almost after 5 years.
