Last month we saw very good response received by the film ‘Bhaai – Vyakti Ki Valli’ a biopic on Maharashtra’s beloved personality late P. L. Deshpande. Now, ‘Bhaai – Vyakti Ki Valli- Uttarardha’ (Bhaai – Part 2) which covers more events which had taken place in the later part of the life of legendary writer- actor- director, has been released along with seven other Marathi films this week. But, this film stands tall, because it goes on to show more interesting happenings in the life of ‘Pu La’ while interacting with many more prominent personalities of Maharashtra. In this second part, we find the second innings of P. L. Deshpande and hence we find Sagar Deshmukh and Irawati Harshe Maydeo shown in their 50+ age with more communication happening between them.
The characters of Bhimsen Joshi, Vasantrao Deshpande, Hirabai along with P.L find more scope sharing their company with Kumar Gandharva ( Played by Swanand Kirkire) during his last days. The classical songs rendered by the trio to make happy their ailing friend is a real treat for music lovers. ‘Bhaai – Part 2′ fails to appeal in the first half but takes off well in the second half with lots of happenings which appeal the audience.
The scenes presenting Pu.La’s involvement in social work have been cleverly shown with his involvement through financial help to Dr. Anil Avchat’s ‘Muktangan- a rehab centre for those addicted to excessive smoking and drinking and also in Baba Amte’s Anandvan centre for rehabilitation and empowerment of people suffering from leprosy. His popular song ‘Nach Re mora…’ in the company of little children from Anandvan has been picturised very well.
The film has also shown the straight forward views expressed by Pu La on the functioning style of politicians of his time. The controversy arising after ‘Pu La’s critical speech read out by his wife while he was conferred with a prestigious award in presence of then Maharashtra C.M. Manohar Joshi, is also part of this film. There is also another scene where he warns Janata Party’s newly elected MP( Portrayed by Bharat Ganeshpure) shows his fearless nature.
To generate some humour the film also presents Girish Kulkarni as Barkya a childhood neighbourhood friend of PU La, who meets him coincidentally, revealing his present identity. There is also a humour filled scene showing Pu La directing Satish Dubhashi and Bhakti Barve during rehearsals of his super hit play ‘Tee Phulrani’. Actress Pooja Sawant makes a surprise appearance as Jaymala Shiledar in a scene while presenting a classical play. In the same scene we witness sarcastic remarks made by the character of Vijay Tendulkar about this play.
Not to forget the best performances by all the artistes. The only drawback of this Part 2 is for not presenting the screenplay in first half that well as compared to second half. But, certainly a worth watch film for all those admirers of Pu La the great.
Hair ordered from Tirupati for wig in the film ‘Bhaai – Part-2′
A proper wig helps to give a perfect look of the character played by the actor. And when the character is of a famous person, then a lot of care is to be taken to give a realistic look. Surendra Salvi and Jitendra Salvi of Natural Hair Studio who had designed the wig for Sagar Deshmukh, in part I of the film ‘Bhaai’ had also taken a big challenge to design the wig for the 60+ look of Pu La Deshpande in Part 2 of ‘Bhai’. And for that they had to order hair from Tirupati to design this special wig.
Incidentally, Salvi brothers had also designed the wig of Nawazuddin Siddiqui for the film ‘Thackeray’ Speaking about their latest challenge of designing the wig for Sagar’s older look to resemble with that of Pu La during his 60+ age, Jitendra Salvi said, “Designing the wig of Sagar while playing Pu La during his young age, wasn’t that difficult, but designing a wig for person’s 60+ age was a difficult task. During the older age, the hair tend to become thinner and even the roots are noticed. If you had seen the photos of Bhaai during the older age, you will agree that his hair were curly. And therefore to show the hair on upper side, we had to shave off the front portion of hair of forehead of the lead actor.”
Anyway, ‘Bhaai – Part-2′ is all set to release on Friday and therefore there is a lot of curiosity to see how his older look is presented using this special wig for Sagar Deshmukh, who is playing his character.

There is hardly any family in Maharashtra which does not know the name of Purushottam Laxman Deshpande, popularly known by his initials ‘Pu. La.’ A multifaceted personality that he was, ‘Pu. La.’ was a renowned Marathi writer and humorist from Maharashtra. He was also an accomplished film and stage actor, besides being a script writer, author, composer & musician (as he played the harmonium very well). But, above all, he was a good singer and orator. In short, he was referred to as “Maharashtra’s beloved personality”. This year being his birth centenary, a biopic ‘Bhai – Vyakti Ki Valli‘ has been presented by film maker Mahesh Manjrekar and the same is being released in theatres from Friday 4th January 2019.
‘Pu.La.’ passed away in the year 2000 at the age of 81 and Maharashtra lost a legend. However, he is still remembered by his admirers and a biopic on him has turned out to be a biggest tribute to this legendary personality. The film which has been released in Part I, (with second part to be followed next month) presents the important happenings in the life of this legend, right from his childhood, including his marriage and achieving success thereafter. Director Mahesh Manjrekar shows his last stage, when he moves into Coma in Pune hospital and then we see all the happenings in his life in flashback, with his wife Sunita going down memory lane, remembering the golden moments in their life.
The research work of this film has been done very systematically, not missing anyone, whoever came closer into his life. One more interesting fact shown in this film was during his stint when he served as a teacher and where he met his wife Sunita also a teacher in Orient High School, Mumbai. It was at this place he met Bal Thackeray as a student and spotted his skills in caricature and encouraged him to pursue this art. There is little scope for Sachin Khedekar and Mrunmayee Deshpande who play ‘Pu.La’s father and first wife who depart early due to their illness. Besides Sachin and Mrunmayee, there are many other renowned artistes from Marathi stage, television and films, who have considered their privilege to play small roles .
‘Pu. La’s’ association with renowned classical singers Kumar Gandharva, Pt. Bhimsen Joshi & Vasantrao Deshpande have been picturised very skillfully offering a real treat to the classical music lovers in the concluding part of the film. ‘Pu.La’ s ability to connect with different people coming into his life, through his narrative style of humour has been captured very well by the creative director in Mahesh Manjrekar.
The screenplay by Ganesh Matkari and dialogues by Ratnakar Matkari are the plus points of this film, besides wonderful performances by lead artistes Sagar Deshmukh, Irawati Harshe, Ashwini Giri, whose characters of ‘Pu La’, Sunita-his wife and his mother are in continuity in the film’s screenplay. Superb cinematography by Karan B Rawat, excellent art direction by Prashant Rane, brilliant make- up by Vikram Gaikwad and good editing work by Abhijit Deshpande & Sourabh Prabhudesai certainly need a special mention. There is lot more to see in the life of ‘Pu. La’ and his admirers will be eager to wait for the release of 2nd part. Certainly the best tribute to this legendary Marathi writer. A must watch film for all.

Sagar Deshmukh to play title role in P.L Deshpande’s biopic ‘Bhai- Vyakti Ki Valli’
Known for his literary contributions deeply rooted in Marathi language, late P.L Deshpande will always be remembered also for his humour filled speeches. From 8th November 2018 his birth centenary year will be observed all over the world. To celebrate this occasion three film production companies namely, Mahesh Manjrekar Movies, Phalke’s factory – a film management Company and The Great Maratha Entertainment Company will be offering a biopic ‘Bhai- Vyakti Ki Valli‘ on this legendary actor- writer , which will be directed by Mahesh Manjrekar.

An official announcement about ‘Bhai- Vyakti Ki Valli’ film was made in Mumbai yesterday evening, when MNS Chief Mr. Raj Thackeray gave the muhurat clap. Speaking on this occasion the well known cartoonist turned politician said, ” I expect this to be a grand film, almost of the level of Richard Attenborough’s ‘Gandhi’ .I have seen this film ‘Gandhi’ 150 times, while I was a student of Sir. JJ School of Art.So much I liked this film. And, I am confident that the director in Mahesh Manjrekar will give the best treatment to this film.” Incidentally, Mr. Raj Thackeray will also be holding his exhibition of cartoons on the life of Late P.L Deshpande next year, to pay him tributes on his birth centenary.
According to Mahesh Manjrekar, the film will be released on 4th January 2019 to coincide with P.L Deshpande’s birth centenary year events.
