Speaking on the occasion, Shri Deepak Kesarkar said that even if you need to know English, English is not everything. “Children should be educated in the language they like. Countries that are technologically advanced today are seen to be educated in their mother tongue. When I was in Paris, no one answered me in English on the street. Maybe they know English but want to insist on their own language. We must know English, but English is not everything,” said Shri. Kesarkar .
He further added, “India was several steps ahead in terms of education. When the first school started in England in the 18th century, we had Gurukul. The British abolished this system to rule us. We should provide the best technology to children in our schools. Artificial Intelligence, robotics, and computer science is the future. We are committed to providing the best technology to our children”

‘Viti Dandu’ – a weapon against ruthless torture

Rating: ★★★
Studio / Presenter: Ajay Devgn Films, Raj Radha Films Producer: Leena Deore Director: Ganesh Kadam Writer: Vikas Kadam Director of Photography: Shailesh Awasthi Music Director: Santosh Mulekar Cast: Dilip Prabhavalkar, Ravindra Mankani, Yatin Karyekar, Ashok Samarth, Mrunal Thakur, Nishant Bhavsar, Gowhar Khan, Shubhankar Atre, Radhika Deore Movie Review by: Keerti Kadam |
Winner of recently announced MarathiMovieWorld award for ‘Most Awaited Film’ category, ‘Viti Dandu’, is presented by Ajay Devgn Films and produced under the banner of Raj Radha Films by Leena Deore. Viti Dandu, which is an ancient Indian sport, possibly with origin over 2500 years ago,was a popular sports in India, till 60s and 70s.
The story (writtten by Vikas Kadam) of Viti Dandu is about affection between grandfather Daji and grandson Govind taking place in pre independence era, in a remotest village called Morgaon. Daji (Dilip Prabhavalkar) is a peace loving doting grandfather, always throwing protective wings around his grandson Govind (Nishant Bhavsar), mainly because his only son and daughter in law were killed by merciless British officials cruelly, for their involvement in India’s fight for freedom.
The grandfather bears villager’s taunts of being called ‘chamcha’ of Britishers, because he is worried about his grandson’s future in British Raj. Once, while visiting police station, Govind witnesses villagers getting thrashed by ‘Gora’ ( The name used by a revolutionary played by Ashok Samarth in the film,) and he keeps questioning Daji about it. To divert his mind Daji offers to play Viti Dandu with Govind, who loves playing that immensely. While playing, a strongly hit Viti hits a passerby on head, who happens to be the British officer, killer of Govind’s parents. The officer later dies, after suffering severe head injury, due to losing his balance after a hit. Daji panics and to save Govind from Britisher’s clutches, decides to run away, but seeing innocent villagers being beaten up blue and red, confesses to have committed that crime and gets himself jailed.
Govind unable to digest his grandfather being in jail, decides to rescue him with the help of his friends. They attack police officials with Viti Dandu, and are triumphant in the end ( ‘Bachha’ company will love it). Since it’s a pre independence era around 1943, revolutionary movement is also interwoven in the plot.
Director (Ganesh Kadam) has invested complete first half in environment creation and introductions of various characters. Even though having a thin storyline, the director has tried his best to present a sensible screenplay, till the climax of the film, which looks little filmy. The film has four songs and all of them are good, especially a Bharud song which is well composed (Santosh Mulekar), well choreographed, well photographed. Lyrics score points as they help in the storytelling. Background score excels and is effective without being imposing. Art director and costume department have been successful in creating the right time-period (pre-independence and now). DOP (Shailesh Awasthi) has done an amazing job and has beautifully captured the virgin rural beauty thus creating the right amount of required atmosphere.
Though the two main characters hog majority of the film space, there are presence-felt performances by others, like, Mrunal Thakur, Ravindra Mankani, Ashok Samarth. Yatin Karyekar is impactful in revolutionary’s role of Usmanbhai. Child actors Nishant Bhavsar, Shubhankar Atre and Radhika Devre has done a splendid job and wins hearts with his innocence. And, last but not the least, Dilip Prabhavalkar (winner of Best Actor award, announced by MarathiMovieWorld) has time and again been proving his versatility, doesn’t fail you this time too, showing different facets of the character with right amount of emotions.
All in all, a neat, clean movie, with picturesque locations and of course, Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn as presenter.
‘Sumbaraan’ does remind you about the golden memories

Rating: 2
Presenter: Shree Ganesh Marketing and Films, Gypsy and Janki Production Production: A4 Creation, Anil Phadtare Story, Screenplay, Dialogues & Direction: Gajendra Ahire Cinematographer: Surya Mishra Music: Rahul Ranade Cast: Makarand Anaspure, Ravindra Mankani, Ravi Kale, Jitendra Joshi, Mukta Barve, Saie Tamhankar, Vrunda Gajendra, Shushrut Mankani, Shilpa Anaspure Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke |
Known for his in depth knowledge about the village culture and presenting its contrast with new city lifestyle, Gajendra Ahire has in the past offered some sensible films. This time through his new film ‘Sumbaraan- Soneri divsaachya Soneri Athvani’ he shows very effectively the connect between the two places. ‘Sumbaraan’ is a tale of two generations and the changes noticed in their behaviour, with the passage of time. You may call it a touching tale of a village and the people living there.
Veeru (Jitendra Joshi) a struggling Music director is returning along with his elder brother Vasanta (Makarand Anaspure) to his village after a long time to spend their Diwali at their old ancestral house. They are accompanied by Vastanta’s wife (Vrunda Gajendra), Viru’s Friend Sushu (Shushrut Mankani) and his friend Mukta (Saie Tamhankar). On reaching there, though Viru takes it very lightly the arising situations and moreover in his own world, enjoying with his friends. Vasanta decides to sell the property and invites his old friend (Siddharth Jadhav) who is an estate agent.
Vasanta, is not happy in his life, remembering his past in the village and his inability to marry his girl friend – Shaku (Swarali Patil) who is the daughter of Biroba belonging to Dhangar community. Vasanta’s father Deshmukh Patil ( Ravindra Mankani) who is having a relationship with a lady from lower caste ( Ashwini Kalsekar) has no voice in the house, as the Mother (Seema Deshmukh) dominates. Vasanta’s younger brother Viru, during his childhood days, however maintains good relationship with Shaku’s younger sister – Kalli (Aditi Bhagwat).
The director has tried to show how attitude of individual matters. The elder brother is not happy in his life, for having ditched his beloved at a crucial stage in his life, while the younger brother is able to understand the situation better; with his own thinking process. In the case of Kalli, who is educated in city in the later part of her life, returns to her village as Dy. Collector. “Education is the key to progress of the society,’ is all that the director has tried to communicate through her character. Very efficiently he has handled the past memories through flash back from time to time.
Throughout the screenplay, the film sticks to its subject, not deviating from the main track. This results in total commitment to the script, which is based on the human relationship with the change of time. Take the character of Ashwini Kalsekar, who plays the keep of Deshmukh Patil, living in his own house. She is also being addressed as Mother, for obvious reasons, by both the children. When Viru returns to his village after a long time, she inquires about the relationship between two of his friends. And, when he tells her that they are in Live-in-relationship; she tries to find the difference between her relationship with his father and the young duo. Ashwini has played her role very efficiently. When kalli meets Viru after a long time, the director has very cleverly shown her maturity with education. Mukta Barve has played that small but sensible role with perfection in the company of Jitendra Joshi. Makarand is at ease in the role of Vasanta and so does Jitendra Joshi.
Shushrut Mankani and Saie Tamhankar are just show pieces in the film, playing Viru’s friends, with nothing much to do except playing Guitar, dancing or diving into the pond for swimming. Ravindra Mankani and Ravi kale are impressive in their respective roles. Seema Deshmukh and Vrunda Gajendra support well. All other artistes including Siddharth Jadhav perfectly fit into their characters, which are so lively.
Special mention about Dushyant Wagh, who displays his talent in that teenager Vasanta’s role. Rahul Ranade’s music is good . Technically, Sumbaraan is a well presented film, reminding one and all about the golden memories of the village life.

Over the years, Ravindra has kept himself busy with his work, maintaining a low profile in the industry but his creative work couldn’t go unnoticed.

‘Mani Mangalsutra’ defines Man and Woman relationship

Presenter: Big Cinemas Producer: Dr. Dilip Sarwate Director: Gauri Karekar Sarwate Script, Screenplay, Dialogues: Madhvi Kunte, Gauri KarekarSarwate Camera: Saleel Sahastrabuddhe Music: Awadhoot Gupte Cast: Hrishita Bhatt, Ravindra Mankani, Anjali Kusre, Umesh Kamat, Lalan Sarang, Ashalata Wabgoakar, Vandana Gupte, Madhurani Gokhale, Seema Deshmukh, Madhav Abhyankar, Omkar Karve, Late Vihang Nayak Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke |
Marathi films are going global. And, who says that our Indian films are short of good subjects? Here is our own Marathi film ‘Mani Mangalsutra’ based on an original true story written by Late Advocate Supriya Sarwate , which goes on to define the perfect man and woman relationship, which is more out of affection and caring for each other rather than just limiting it to sexual relationship. Young Film maker Gauri Karekar Sarwate was so much inspired by this unusual story written by her late mother-in-law, that she decided to make a film on this true story.
The film opens up with the leading lady of the film Savitri (Hrishita Bhatt) in her 50 plus welcoming young Shantanu (Umesh Kamat ) and his girl friend Swati (Anjali Kusre) at her house. The boy has lived in her neighborhood for a long time since his childhood and has come to see her after completing his higher education. He is so much impressed with the successful live in relationship of Savitri with the school master (Ravindra Mankani) for 30 long years that he tries to convince his girlfriend to begin their life in the same manner. The girl, though modern and London returned however does not agree to his views and suggests him that marriage should be supported by legality. That’s where the conflict begins. In the meanwhile, a case stands up against Savitri, after her husband’s death to vacate her house, as she has no legal documents to prove her relationship
Very cleverly the director has presented these two relationships of two different generations and their fight for recognition in the society. Actually, the film debates on the sanctity of marriage. Are the black beads around your neck enough to indicate your true love relationship? At the same time the film goes on to show, how difficult it is for a woman to live such a life, without wearing a Mangalsutra. The film also highlights the most important aspect of Maharashtrian culture, through its well presented screenplay.
While showing the childhood of Savitri in the flashback, the director has shot that part in black and white, including one wonderful song that reminds us of Prabaht films during the olden days. Paying more attention on rituals like Mangalagauri, a beautiful song rendered by Shreya Ghoshal only goes on to add that special flavour to this technically well presented film. Every character in this film has a special place, be it witty Joshi Kaku played by Vandana Gupte or Savitri’s friend Gauri played by Madhurani Gokhale Prabhulkar. The young couple played by Umesh Kamat and Anjali Kusre make a perfect match for each other. And how can you forget those veterans like Ashalata Wabgaonkar and Lalan Sarang? They all have supported well in the cast. Especially Savitri’s interaction with her friend Gauri and her encounter with Joshi kaku have been shot well.
Hrishita, in particular has given her best performance in the role of Savitri. Watch her sharp expressive eyes emoting at every important sequence and you feel that she certainly deserves an award for her brilliant performance on debut in a Marathi film. She has worked very hard to dub in her own voice. Ravindra Mankani as a school master has also done exceptionally well. In one particular scene where he confesses his own weakness before Savitri, both of them have displayed their emotions very naturally. Seema Deshmukh, Madhav Abhyankar and Omkar Karve have given their best in supporting roles. Avadhoot Gupte’s music is impressive and so is late Debu Deodhar’s photography. ‘Mani Mangalsutra’ does have an international appeal and should catch up with the audience with the word of mouth praise. It is certainly a technically well presented film.
“I have explored the disable world through ‘Satya'” – Pushkar Jog
‘Satya – More than Human’, a movie on the future of mentally retarded children and the social stigma attached to them concluded its shooting at Kamyani, Pune, an institute for the retarded recently. Actor, script writer and director of the movie, Pushkar Jog said, “I am connected to the institute since I the time of Sindhutai Joshi. I share a special of relationship with the children here. These children are not responsible for their physical and mental disability but still they are disowned by the society. In-spite of this the children are kind and loving. I have explored their world through this movie. It is a tribute to Sindhutai.”
The movie is about 22-year boy Siddhant whose life changes after a minor accident. From struggling to keep away from the virtual sympathies from people in the normal world, he finds love in the world of the retarded and makes his own small world.
