Sadashiv Amrapurkar Memorial Trust to help needy film makers
As an actor, Sadashiv Amrapurkar had created his own identity in Hindi and Marathi film industry. As a citizen of this country, he never forgot his social commitments to the society. No wonder, after his sad demise, his family members formed a Trust Sadashiv Amrapurkar Memorial Trust to help the young filmmakers from rural parts. It may be recalled that the legendary actor himself had come from the rural area to establish himself in the tinsel town of Mumbai. And, on his own, he established himself as an actor par excellence.
Now, his daughter and filmmaker Reema Amnrapurkar who is managing the trust in her father’s name, has started a project with the name of ‘Saadhan’ to provide the scholarship in the form of supply of equipment to genuine filmmakers, who are unable to hire the equipments for filmmaking. The Trust will select the projects from such film makers and after going through the subject, will come forward to help such projects by way of part or full scholarship. For the past three years, the trust has been conducting workshops on filmmaking in schools and colleges in rural areas of Ahmednagar district. Hon. Minister Mr. Vinod Tawde has also shown his support for the work undertaken by Sadashiv Amrapurkar Memorial Trust.

Even after the 60 years of independence, the rural areas are still facing the age old problems. It is well known fact that the apathy on politicians’ side is the main culprit. The only thing that these politicians are interested is in power and their own well being.
What if the young guns come forward and take the things in their own hands? Will the situation change? Sanvendana Foundation’s latest movie “Aar Aar Aabaa.. Aataa Tari Thamba” tackles the same issue with a humorous touch.Aabaa (Sadashiv Amarapurkar) has been the sarapancha of a village for such a long time that he treats it as his own kingdom. So busy is he with his politics that he hardly finds any time to solve the problems faced by the villagers. When some young people return to their village after completing their education, things begin to change.
These people armed with knowledge question the aristocracy of Aabaa and challenge him in the upcoming election. How Aabaa tries to foil their attempt forms the rest of the story.
The film entertains at some places but its script is a letdown. The movie has many characters and these are introduced to us by the Narrator (Nilu Phule). The concept of narration seems interesting initially but later on it seems repetitive. The movie seems to deviate from its theme as no mention is made to the actions taken by youngsters to solve the problems.
Sadashiv Amarapurkar fits perfectly well in the role of Aabaa. satish Tare and Vikas Samudre provide some entertainment. Milind Gavali, Priya Berde, Ravindra Berde have done their parts well. Avdhut Gupte’s music really stands out. Special the sang “Ek chal bharal pakharu…”
The director Reema Amarapurkar’s (daughtr of Sadashiv Amarapurkar) first attempt is worth a mention. Best of luck for her next film. Hope will see some more good & meaningfull movies from her.
