Known for their strong levelheaded subjects, Marathi films have gone worldwide, through screening at various international film festivals. Our progressing country is in urgent need of thoughtful democratic reforms. And, our feature films can play this important role, of passing a social message. New Marathi film ‘Babanchi Shala‘, presents the story written by Neela Satyanarayan, a former IAS officer from Maharashtra. Directed by R.Viraj, who gave us variety of films like ‘Shyamche Vadil ‘, ‘Sangharsh‘ and ‘Vajlach Pahije Game …’ the film is inspired by V.Shantaram’s memorable film ‘Do Ankhen Barah Haath‘ made in 1957. The only difference is that in the old film, the Jail warden tries to rehabilitate the dangerous prisoners released on parole, while in the latest film, the Jailer goes out of his way, to rehabilitate those prisoners, who are not hardened criminals, but have committed a crime for the first time.
The story of this film revolves around Mahipat Ghorpade (Shashank Shende) who murders his nagging wife, who keeps on abusing him, for spending money on educating their only little daughter Sonali( Gauri Deshpande). One day, when his wife with the support of his mother in law, enter into an argument over the same issue, Mahipat locks his wife inside a room and murders her. He later repents his mistake, as he is taken to custody. After going to Jail, Mahipat has to leave his little daughter behind, at the mercy of others, who ill treat her. Sonali, later undergoes a trauma. But, she timely receives helping hand from a social worker Neeta Satam ( Chhaya Kadam), who persuades Jailer Shrikant Jamkhede(Sayaji Shinde), to arrange a meeting between father and daughter, after almost six years.
Initially, reluctant to accede to such a request, the Jailer and his wife ( Aishwarya Narkar) face a strange happening in their own life too. And, this changes the outlook of the Jailer. He not only tries to understand the trauma that Mahipat undergoes, but also the situation faced by few other prisoners in his jail and their family members. He submits a plan to Home Minister, through social worker Neeta Satam; about his scheme( Babanchi Shala) to rehabilitate such prisoners. But, it gets rejected. Going out of his way, he plans to implement his plan, in his own way. He partly succeeds in it. But, one of the prisoners, foils his plan, resulting into inquiry against Jailer and Neeta Satam .When the jailer is suspended, he continues with his good work with the help of the social worker, in extension of her services.
The film sends across a good message to the society, which in general, is not ready to accept the children and relatives of such prisoners, with any favors. Through different characters and emotion filled sequences in this film, the writer and the director have shown, how the life of family members also gets affected. Good presentation of screenplay, well suited dialogues to all the characters and above all wonderful performances by Sayaji Shinde, Shashank Shende, Chhaya kadam, Kamlesh Sawant and others, make this film a worth watch.
To nullify the effect of seriousness of the film’s subject , the director has cleverly offered some humor filled dialogues to Kamlesh Sawant, who plays one of the jail inmates, Babu Sakpal. Music by Soham Pathak & Neela Satyanarayan is apt, to meet the requirement of the subject. Don’t compare this film with V.Shantaram’s ‘Do Ankhen Barah Haath’, as it has offered something more, to make the audience think, in terms of reforms in the jail. All the prisoners are not terrorists. Majority of them are guilty of crime committed by them, for the first time. And therefore, the rehabilitation of their relatives, during their jail sentence, would help in contributing something to the society.

Shyamche Vadil- stands up for suffering fathers

Banner: 459 Entertainment Producer: Ajay Pathak Director: R. Viraj Music: Soham, Aditya and Nikhil Cinematography: Sandy Cast: Mohan Agashe, Tushar Dalvi, Vinay Apte, Sulekha Talwalkar, Rima Lagoo, Vidyadhar Joshi, Chinmay Udgirkar, Smita Talwalkar and Shekhar Navre. Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke |
Gone are the days, when housewives used to wait for their husbands to return home, to serve them dinner and then eat their food in the kitchen. Today, women are working shoulder to shoulder with men. At home front, we find both husband and wife working and returning home late hours in the evening, depriving time for their children.
The cases of wife working and husband sitting at home jobless and taking care of the children are not unheard. In such cases, generally we find clashes at home between husband and wife over money matters, which finally results into divorce.
However, the latest film ‘Shyamche Vadil- Ek Nave Parva’ produced by Ajay Pathak and directed by R. Viraj, present one couple, where the husband –Madhav( Tushar Dalvi) becomes jobless, soon after marriage; as he suffers in his business, due to cancellation of huge export order. Luckily for him, his wife( Sulekha Talwalkar) gets a job in a multinational bank. The selfish wife however warns her husband to earn for their living so as to buy day to day grocery and pay electricity bill. She however takes care of her child and spends towards his education.
The wife doesn’t leave a single opportunity to humiliate her husband in front of her son. This keeps on going till the son Shyam attains 22 years of age and turns a Rock Singer. The humiliation of his father forces Shyam to approach his lawyer aunty ( Reema Lagoo) to secure divorce for his father. But, he comes to know the hurdle of section 498(B), as he is well aware that his father would not like to wash the dirty linen in Public. So, he takes help of social networking site and opens a page in the name of ‘Suffering fathers’ and gathers good support from hundreds of young children who show willingness to support him in the appeal.
What transpires has been clearly suggested in the surprise climax of this film. The film has attempted a new theme to go with the changing time. Very cleverly the director has used the sufferings of the son coming out through his emotions in the songs delivered by him. Instead of turning to bad habits, the youngster opts for music to relieve his stress, is the best example he has placed before such youths sailing in the same boat.
Some of the scenes in the film, like the wife driving away her husband and son from home during late evening hours and the wife raising her hand on her husband look unrealistic. However, the request for amending the section 498(b), to secure hassle free divorce, seems a good suggestion coming through this film. The sincere effort of the film maker to present this thought provoking theme combined with Rock music as its base, is to be appreciated. It has therefore become an universal appeal. The music by the trio comprising of Soham, Aditya and Nikhil is impressive.
Looking at the performances, Tushar Dalvi plays an ideal and patient husband who sacrifices his life for proper upbringing of his son. Sulekha Talwalkar fits into the character of a shrewd and self centred mother. Both have played their roles according to the demand of the script. Chinmay Udgirkar who makes his film debut through this film, gives a satisfying performance. In the supporting roles Reema Lagoo, Dr. Mohan Agashe, Vinay Apte, Vidydhar Joshi have offered good support while Smita Talwalkar and Shekhar Navare appear in two scenes in guest appearance. The Music director trio have themselves played the friends of Shyam, which was a good thinking.
To describe the film in short, ‘Shyamche Vadil’ stands up for suffering fathers in the society and also sends a strong message to the Judiciary to rethink over seeking amendment to a particular section, which would prevent the aggrieved couples from washing the dirty linen in Public.
