‘Halal’ highlights the plight of a divorced Muslim Woman
 |
Movie: Halal
Rating: ★★★1/2 Genres: Drama Censor: UA Duration: 130 min. Studio / Presenter: Amol Kagne Films Producer(s): Laxman Eknathrao Kagne, Amol Laxman Kagne Director: Shivaji Lotan Patil Writer: Rajan Khan Cinematography (DOP): Ramani Ranjan Das Cast: Pritam Kagne, Chinmay Mandlekar, Priyadarshan Jadhav, Vijay Chavan, Chhaya Kadam, Amol Kagane, Vimal Mhatre, Sanjay Sugavkar Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke |
We have heard about the cases of divorced women reuniting with the same husband with mutual understanding before or even after the court judgment. But, in Muslim religion, this is not that easy. According to the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, a man cannot remarry a woman after triple talaq, unless she has already consummated her marriage with another man and then that new husband dies or divorces her. In this case, the marriage (Nikah) of the woman with her new husband is called ‘Nikah halala‘.
Incidentally, in a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court of India barred Instant Triple Talaq on 22nd August 2017 and asked the Parliament to make a law on this matter. Latest released Marathi film ‘Halal‘ directed by National award winning film director Shivaji Lotan Patil is based on this controversial talaq.
Film ‘Halal‘ has chosen the subject of sufferings of a divorced Muslim woman. In this film, we find Halim ( Pritam Kagne) a young Muslim woman divorced by her husband Kuddus ( Priyadarshan Jadhav), through triple talaq procedure, only to relive her from the harassment by his mother at home. So, he drops her back to her parents.
Two year’s after the divorce, Kuddus, who otherwise loves his wife Halim, approaches Halim’s parents, after his mother’s death, to take her back home. But, Halim’s father ( Vijay Chavan ) and other villagers in the neighborhood remind him about the procedure in their religion. However, keeping in mind the good intention of his son in law, Halim’s father approaches Maulana of the Village (Chinmay Mandlekar) . Since there is no one coming forward for ‘Nikah halala‘, the Sarpanch ( Sanjay Sugaonkar) suggests the Maulana to be Halim’s second husband and the Maulana agrees for the temporary marriage to reunite Kuddus and Halim. But, Halim has to live with Maulana for three months, to complete the divorce procedure.
While Kuddus is busy preparing to welcome his wife back home, the helpful Maulana who is respected by the village community, also wants to keep his word. However, sudden developments take place in the screenplay and Halim has her say in the climax. The film certainly throws light on the plight of a helpless divorced muslim woman from a poor family. It is a timely subject and has been presented very well by the national award winning director Shivaji Lotan Patil. Some of the scenes involving villagers gossiping about Halim’s second marriage to maulana, don’t look natural. But, one should appreciate the subject , which is based on writer by Rajan Khan’s original story ‘Halala‘ and the efforts of producers Laxman and Amol kagne, who thought of giving cinematic look to this story.
Director Shivaji Lotan Patil has very effectively presented all his characters in the film. Priyadarshan Jadhav in the role of Kuddus does well to display his bold stand. Chinmay Mandlekar has been effective while portraying a respectable Maulana, but, he speaks only Hindi mixed with Urdu, in a Marathi speaking village. Surprisingly, in the entire film, he has not uttered a single Marathi dialogue. But, the surprise performance comes from Pritam Kagne, who has given a memorable performance in the lead role of Halim. She has not only expressed her emotions well in all the scenes, but has done remarkably well in the climax. Good support comes from other artistes like Vijay Chavan, Chhaya Kadam, Vimal Mhatre and others. Screenplay & dialogues by Nishant Dhapse are well presented.
The technical sides of the film are also worth appreciating, which include good cinematography by Ramani Ranjan Das, brilliant art by Santosh Samudre and superb make up for all the artistes by Laxman Jadhav. Music doesn’t have much scope, but Vijay Gatlewar has been able to give that required feel suited to this film through one song in the background. The film has already been screened at various International film festivals and has also won many awards. All in all, ‘Halal‘ is a timely film, which highlights very effectively, the plight of a divorced Muslim Woman.
Music of award winning film ‘Halal’ launched in Mumbai
Forthcoming Marathi film ‘Halal‘ produced by Laxman Kagne & Amol Kagne and directed by National award winning director Shivaji Lotan Patil has already created a buzz before its official release, having won various awards. Recently, the music of this film was launched in Mumbai in presence of artistes and technical team of the film. The film’s story is based on Rajan Khan’s story ‘Halaala’ and highlights the social problems of Muslim women in today’s changing world. The film is due for release on 6th October 2017.
Speaking on the occasion director Shivaji Lotan Patil said that he was fortunate to get an opportunity to handle such an important social issue through ‘Halal‘ film. It may be recalled that Mr.Patil had made his debut as director through the film ‘Dhag‘ which won him national award. The film has two meaningful songs penned by Subodh Pawar and Sayyed Akhtar , with music provided by Vijay Gatlewar. The film stars Chinmay Mandlekar, Pritam Kagne, Priyadarshan Jadhav, Vijay Chavan, Chhaya Kadam, Sanjay Sugaonkar, Amol Kagne & Vimal Mhatre. Cinematography by Ramani Ranjandas and editing by Nilesh Gawand are other credits.
Priyadarshan Jadhav to present ‘Chala Hava Yeu Dya’ TV show
For the past three years we have been watching non stop Dr.Nilesh Sable presenting the popular laughter show on Zee Marathi every Monday and Tuesday. But now, Dr.Nilesh has decided to take rest for few weeks, due to health problems. However, like a passionate actor and TV show presenter, he feels that the show must go on.
Dr.Nilesh Sable has therefore decided to hand over his responsibility to actor Priyadarshan Jadhav, who will play the role of the new anchor of ‘Chala Hava Yeu Dya‘ show. It may be recalled that this show had become so popular that even many Bollywood film makers had chosen this show as their platform for promoting their films. Dr.Nilesh Sable will be back after taking rest, but in the meanwhile all eyes on Priyadarshan Jadhav, who is also known as a good show anchor.

Joglekar
In the first part of ‘Time Pass’’ we saw the love story taking place between Dagadu( Prathamesh Parab) and Prajakta ( Ketaki Mategaonkar) during their adolescence . But, due to timely intervention of Prajakta’s father Madhusudan Lele ( Vaibhav Mangale) and useful advice given by Prajakta’s teacher, we noticed a ‘break up’ in their relationship, in the film’s climax. But, director Ravi Jadhav had clearly hinted that their love story would continue.
Now, in Part 2 of ‘Time Pass’, we notice director Ravi Jadhav setting a stage for their reunion after 12 years. But, this time, you will not see the same actors playing their characters, as the grown up Dagadu is played by actor – director Priyadarshan Jadhav, who had assisted Ravi Jadhav in ‘Time Pass’, while Prajakta is played by Priya Bapat – Kamat.
In the opening scene of this second part , we notice Dagadu turning a politician and social worker of his area, inaugurating an Ambulance service; while Prajakta, far away in Konkan, still dreaming about her reunion with Dagadu. It is only when Dagadu’s inner voice ( In the form of Prathamesh Parab)reminds him about his ‘past love’, Dagadu prepares to go to Konkan, along with his three friends with funny names, in search of Prajakta. He does meet her on his way, but both don’t recognize each other.
The actual love story between grown up Dagadu and Prajakta takes off, only post interval; as Dagadu first plans to impress Prajakta’s father, posing himself as Navin, a scientist from BARC. He even succeeds to a certain extent. But, Prajakta visits Mumbai, around that time, under the pretext of preparing for her music exams. And, finally, both of them meet in Mumbai, when Prajakta comes to know, his real identity. The film’s screenplay then proceeds further, with some more dramatic happenings, coming in the way of their reunion. Finally, it’s happy end in a predictable climax.
‘Time Pass-2′ has wasted a lot of time in the pre interval stage, before it takes actual grip on the continuation of Dagadu- Prajakta love story. In this second part, the director has paid more attention, giving emotional touch to this love story, besides showing the caring attitude of the protective father. This time, he has also added some action scenes, to show Dagadu a real Super hero. To add some humor, the characters of a photographer from the village, in love with Prajakta and Dagadu’s three friends have been added in a traditional style. But, one fails to understand, why a director of repute Viju Mane, agreed to play a bad man, in a casting couch episode?
‘Time Pass-2′ has good music, but not as superior as Part 1. Even the much talked about item number ‘Pichkari..’, performed by Sonalee Kulkarni, fails to appeal much, as the attention of the audience is more focused on Priya Bapat, who dances as a Junior artiste in that sequence. Barring few such shortfalls, ‘Time Pass-2′ still manages to appeal, because of the fine performances of all the artistes. But, among all of them, Vaibhav Mangle stands tall, with his outstanding performance. Prathamesh Parab , Ketaki Mategaonkar, Bhau Kadam, Bhushan Pradhan , Urmila Kanetkar Kothare and others, are just namesake in this film. All in all, ‘Time Pass 2′ offers emotion filled entertainment. But, don’t watch this film, with an intention of comparing it with Part 1. Don’t forget that it is a pure ‘Time Pass’ film.
