‘Premsutra’ plays a new game of love
 |
Rating: ★★★
Studio: Kshitij Entertainment, Kathakaar Producer: Rajaram Parmar Director: Tejas Vijay Deoskar Music: Susmit Limaye Cinematography: Pushpank Gawade Cast: Sandeep Kulkarni, Pallavi Subhash, Shruti Marathe, Lokesh Gupte, Shishir Sharma, Ila Bhate, Pradeep Athawale, Prasad Pandit, Subha Khote Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke |
“Pure love is readiness to give everything, without expecting anything in return.” Sanjay Vijay Deoskar’s new film ‘Premsutra’ revolves around one such theme, which goes on to define love, in its own style. It revolves around a 35 year old Mine Engineer Anand alias Andy Joshi( Sandeep Kulkarni) from Mumbai , who is a bachelor and on a job assignment in picturesque Goa. Andy, is not serious about marriage and is more focussed on his career. He becomes friendly with a young local Christian girl Saniya( Pallavi Subhash) . Initially, it is a good friendship, which moves into bed, with mutual consent . And soon, Saniya gets pregnant.
Saniya does not expect much from Andy in return; but, does keep him informed that she would deliver the child; even if he doesn’t marry her. This scene takes place at a time, when his office colleague Sujit ( Lokesh Gupte) and his Boss’( Shishir Sharma) daughter Malvika( Shruti Marathe) are around. Malvika is for a surprise, as she is deeply in love with Andy and wants to marry him at any cost. But, Sujit who is after Malvika; doesn’t get any response. Back in Mumbai, when Malvika tries to come closer to Andy, he tries to keep her away. Now, desperate to teach Andy a lesson, Malvika marries Sujit; who is just looking for that opportunity to rise above in his career.
But, the Boss has different plans in his mind. In the post interval session, we find all that which we see happen in high society and big corporate houses. It is a real test of Andy, when he gets a tempting offer, with a trap. But, all goes well at the end. With this little less than 2 hour long film; director Sanjay Deoskar has offered a simple, but well presented subject.Having already seen two films during this year, on this topic of Prem( love); this film plays a new game of love.
Through the character of Andy, Sandeep Kulkarni has tried to depict the conscience in a typical upright person, with his fine performance in a romantic role ; while Lokesh Guopte through Sujit;’s role , has tried to show the attitude of a selfish person, with complete understanding. His character aspires to become richer, marrying Malvika for his double gain. In the role of Sania, Pallavi Subhash perfectly fits into the character of a young Goan girl, who is willing to take risk in her life, to find her real love. The model turned film actress simply looks stunning, in almost all the scenes and has performed with ease. Shruti Marathe does a fine job to present Malvika- a young female from high society, who feels that money can buy everything . Though she looks pretty in close up scenes, she is found overweight in all those different costumes she displays, in comparison to slim and fit Pallavi.
Restricting the important characters in the form of close relatives of Andy and Saniya, the director has also very cleverly shown the lifestyle of Goa, in comparison to conservative Mumbai culture. Shubha Khote represents a perfect Goan grandmother cum advisor of Sania, while Shishir Sharma plays a shrewd Company chief and selfish father of a demanding daughter.
The chemistry of Sandeep and Pallvi works well with in this film. Their happy moments have been picturised well on the backdrop of picturesque Goa. Shubha Khote has a limited role; but she does make her presence felt. Others in the supporting cast like Ila Bhate, Pradeep Athavale,Prasad Pandit and others have offered good support in their small roles.
Music by Susmit Limaye plays an important role in the film with songs suited to the situations; besides good photography and perfect sound effects. ‘Premsutra’ has therefore turned out to be a clean romantic musical film; for a change.
‘Ajinkya’ defines new meaning of success

Champions are not made by a Coach. The actual duty of a good Coach is to make a player capable of playing the game to its perfection giving 100% through his performance. The rest is up to the player or a team to use their own skills at any given situation. New Marathi film ‘Ajinkya’ produced by Sandeep Kelwani and director Tejas Deoskar, both Basketball players from Nagpur, is based on the life of a basketball Coach.
The film tries to peep into the life of a couple Anant ( Sandeep Kulkarni) and Saee ( kadambari kadam) who are in their eighth year of married life. While Sandeep, besides working in the office, is also a basketball coach; Saee is an executive in a multinational company. Both love each other, but Sandeep’s passion for the game and his keeping away from home after office hours, disturbs Saee, who feels lonely. One day, the argument hots up and Sandeep declares his involvement, due to which his team wins. “In case his team loses any game, he would quit coaching,” he declares. The team loses and Anant being adamant, decides to take a break. He even goes to the extent of taking a transfer from his office to Aurangabad, so as to keep himself away from his wife.
Sandeep Kulkari, Kadambari KadamAt the new place Aurangabad, Sandeep is unable to sit quiet during the evening hours. One day, when his former basketball colleague Bhavna( Sarika Nilatkar) from Nagpur, visits him in Aurangabad, she expresses pity on his condition and makes fun of his act of stupidity. This makes Anant think seriously over his decision. When he notices few children playing football on the deserted basketball court; he approaches them and suggests to play basketball instead. He agrees to coach them.
However, Anant’s training ideas are not easily accepted by the youngsters, as they just prefer playing this game for past time. Realising their personal problems, Sandeep decides to change his approach. When he gets a proposal from a local sports body to send their club’s team for a Competition; he finally agrees to train them but refuses to accompany the team. In the meanwhile, he remains in touch with his wife, by paying a surprise visit.
The team trained by Anant puts up a good performance, much above the expectations of the Coach. When Anant reaches the venue, we see the climax taking place, with Semi finals and final match of his team. This concluding part is not predictable, sending a timely message -‘ It’s not always about winning! to all those into sports field, especially those into coaching. It defines the new meaning of success.
Some of the scenes, related to the problems faced by the players, have been shot well by director Tejas Deoskar, including the passion for the game witnessed in Anant’s behaviour. But, he has shown the Coach as a ring master all the time. It would have been better, if he had shown him actually in some action scenes. Sandeep would have certainly obliged. One can understand about Anant’s colleague Bhavna( Sarika Nilatkar), who is shown returning back to training, few years after marriage. But, to show the lead man in action was possible. The film does not deviate from its theme from start to finish. The director has not made use of humour much through screenplay and dialogues, though there was scope for the same.
Nevertheless, looking at the sincerity in presenting this story and efforts taken to promote the game of basketball, besides delivering a message for sports lovers, ‘Ajinkya’has turned out to be a well made film. It’s almost a ‘one man show’ by actor Sandeep Kulkarni, who seemed to be totally involved into his character. The intensity with which he gets involved into his character, is to be highly appreciated. Kadambari kadam has played her part well, through perfect body language in the role of Saee, where she voices the concern of all such women facing similar situation. Sarika Nilatkar has limited scope; but it was nice to see her, after a long break. The youngsters have played their parts well. Susmit Limaye’s music is just apt for different situations. But, Abhijit Abde’s photography is good. He has shot the match sequences on huge indoor court, very well.
‘Night School’ has a message for Government

At a time when Municipal authorities in Mumbai are in the process of closing down Marathi schools for want of attendance and unable to maintain the premises; here comes a film with a timely message to the Government. The new Marathi film ‘Night School’ produced by Nitin Mawani and directed by Mansingh Pawar makes the administration realize the importance of education to the labour and poor class, who are unable to attend day classes. The film stresses the importance about survival of one such night school in Mumbai, which needs Government support and which is the target of builders to acquire the land occupied by school for redevelopment project.
45 years ago there was an English film ‘To Sir, With Love’ by E. R. Braithwaite, starring Sidney Poitier which dealt with social and racial issues in an inner city school. In that film, the teacher takes up the challenge to educate the notorious and elderly students from one secondary school. Now, writer director Mansingh Pawar has taken up a similar type of social issue in his new Marathi film ‘Night School’ which is so relevant to Indian context, where education plays an important role in uplifting the society.
In India, so many youngsters are required to leave their school mid way, due to poor financial conditions. They work during daytime as Courier boys or labourers in Hotels, shops and restaurants; but, there is a desire within them to take education side by side. Inspired by the two former chief ministers of Maharashtra, who attended Night school and reached to this position; the director has taken up this issue of one of the Night Schools in Mumbai. There is a mention about this reality in one of the dialogues uttered by an important character in the film. Shivaji Night School shown in the film located in the populated area of Mumbai, is on the verge of closure. Appasaheb (played by Prasad Pandit) whose father started this 60 year old institution, is managing this school with great difficulty.
During a ceremony to honour best teachers in the city; Appasaheb challenges Mr. Deshpande (Sandeep Kulkarni) who has bagged best teacher’s award for getting 100% results of his 10th std batch. “If you really have to prove your capability as a teacher show 100% results of a school which has working and poor class students?” he questions. Mr. Deshpande does accept Appasaheb’s challenge and joins his Shivaji Night School.
After joining the school, Mr. Deshpande prepares his action plan and ensures 100% attendance in school. He himself approaches families of many students and understands individual problems of each one of them. He also offers shelter to one of the poor students in his own house. Mr. Deshpande’s strategies works wonders, in spite of facing hurdles. He encourages sports and picnics. Finally, it is happy ending with Shivaji Night School scoring 100% results with a topper in Maths in Board Exam from his school.
Director Mansingh Pawar has presented the subject very well, with total sincerity, without adding unnecessary glamour into the screenplay. There are only two songs in the film on the music of Babhu Bhosale, that too before interval. The post interval session has been focused on the struggle for survival of the school. In fact 25 out of the 40 students from this film are real life Night School students, making an impact about the actual situation. However, the scene showing the serious ailment of one of the bright students from the school, has been dragged a little longer, with repeated shots of his vomiting and writing exam paper in ambulance.
Otherwise, the sequences like Mr. Deshpande offering shelter to a deserving student, his subsequent interaction with his wife, his strategies to bring students together and his efforts of creating awareness about importance of education to the family members of the students; and above all the students raising the money to pay electricity bill of the school, have been picturised well.
Sandeep Kulkarni is at his best in the role of Deshpande teacher, showing total commitment to his character. He seemed to be totally involved into this challenging role, offered to him. Deepa Chaphekar, who plays his wife doesn’t have much scope; but she does her job well. In the role of Appasaheb, veteran actor Prasad Pandit is a perfect choice. Shrikant Yadav is impressive in the role of a notorious bar owner, who later reforms, watching the struggle of the students. All others in the supporting cast have done a good job. The film is a timely message to the Government.
Sandeep Kulkarni speaks about his latest film ‘Night School’
‘Night School’,” said renowned Marathi actor Sandeep Kulkarni, while addressing a press conference hosted by Producer Nitin Mawani at Hotel Midtown Pritam, Dadar on Friday evening. He further added that when the script was shown to him, he did not know some of the truths and felt that it was a challenge doing this role. The occasion was to release the First look of his forthcoming film ‘Night School’. Also present on the occasion were writer-director Mansingh Pawar, actress Deepa Chafekar, (who is also assistant director of this film), Shrikant Yadav and other members of the unit.
In this film, Sandeep accepts the challenge of a social activist running a Night School, to join his school and show 100% result, as he proved in his standard day school. But, after accepting this job, he has to face many problems, including the harassment from anti social elements in the locality and the builder, who eyes on the school plot for redevelopment. Deepa Chafekar plays Sandeep’s wife in this film, while Prasad Pandit plays the Night School operator and social worker. Others in the supporting roles are Shrikant Yadav, Raju Mawani, Raju Govilkar, Anvay bender, Shivraj Walvekar, Ashit Ambekar and about 40 others playing the students, out of which 25 are real life night school students.
Director Mansingh Pawar looked confident about his film and thanked the producer for coming forward to make this film. “We have shot the film at actual locations to present reality,” he said. While speaking to Marathi Movie World, he said that he was also trying to send his film at International Film festivals, for presenting a universal theme; i.e. importance of education to change the life of people, who do laborious jobs during daytime and yet would like to study after their work hours.
The film has two songs on the music of Babhu Bhosale. Editing by Paresh Manjrekar and photography by Prakash Shinde are other credits. The film is all set for release on 2nd November 2012.
‘Pratisaad- The Response’ holds on to the truth

‘The tongue has no bone and it wiggles more against the celebrities than the common man.’ The more you are popular and a celebrity, you are bound to be targeted by your opponents by way of criticism. This is a common observation and the success of homeopathy treatment and their practicing doctors are no exception to such controversies.
Today, Marathi films are coming up with new ideas based on realities in life and the audience is ready for it. ‘Pratisaad-The Response’ the latest released film has come out with a revolutionary theme, which has been converted into a full length feature film by director Yogesh Dattatray Gosavi. In fact, it is the first film in the world on the backdrop of Homeopathy treatment and its success. Moreover, the film is based on a real life story of practicing Homeopath – Dr. Vijaysinha Amarsinha Nikam, who is also the producer of this film.
In the film, Dr. Aditya ( Sandeep Kulkarni) , a leading Homeopathy practitioner with his full fledged hospital, is challenged by a phone call in the midst of a live TV interview series. The caller – Sarjerao (Kishore Kadam) accuses him of using fraudulent means of treatment and the TV host on the suggestion of his Programme producer, flares up the issue by asking Dr. Aditya to react on the media reports quoting Homeopathy as ‘fake science’. Needless to say that the media furore follows, giving a new twist to this debate for higher TRP’s..
The law soon steps in and you find a Police officer investigating the case, on a complaint received from Sarjerao. In comes Ms. Renu( Neelam Shirke) posing herself as Journalist and she too carries her investigation, much to the satisfaction of the doctor, who at that point is feeling dejected by such allegations, in spite of his sincerity to his profession. His motivation at that stage is also his better half (Nilambari) who keeps on reminding him that ‘Truth always wins’. Finally, Dr. Aditya wins his battle, when Ms. Renu reveals the truth in a climax, during the second part of the live TV show.
The overall effort of the director to present this theme has been good. Very cleverly, he has tried to focus on the Doctor-Patient relationship i.e. more than treating the disease, the medicine treats the patient. The screenplay also highlights the role played by a committed doctor to convince effectively the close relative of the patient and that is the real strength of the film. After all, it is the attitude of the patient’s relatives that is to be handled well. However, in this film, in spite of his best efforts, the doctor fails to convince an adamant Sarjerao, for obvious reasons, which are disclosed at the end of the film.
‘Pratisaad-the Response’ is a path breaking film, which not only creates awareness about the treatment of Homeopathy but also goes beyond the traditional therapy, revealing certain facts. Sandeep Kulkarni as Dr. Aditya is very impressive. Watching his emotions in that climax scene at the TV studio, while admitting how much of faith his wife had in him, clearly proves his class. Kishore Kadam, another talented actor has supported him well in the role of Sarjero. Neelam Shirke as Ms. Renu, does an excellent job, with a good support coming from other artistes. All the hospital scenes have been captured well. One background song has been used at the appropriate place. Editing work is satisfactory. Photography is good, but there are too many close ups in the film and those repeatedly used are of the male TV host for no particular reason. Barring that lapse, the film is well presented with the hope of getting international recognition for dealing effectively with an universal theme.
“I love to perform variety of roles” – Sandeep Kulkarni
If you look at his educational background, he is supposed to be the most creative person in the Marathi film world. Having done his graduation from Mumbai’s illustrious educational institution – Sir J J school of Arts, Sandeep Kulkarni opted for advertising field and later switched over to acting profession , which is also another art form. Today, he is the most popular actor of Marathi movies.
Beginning his film career with Bollywood stalwarts like Shyam Benegal and Govind Nihalani through their films ‘Mammo’ and ‘Hazaar Courasi ki Maa’ respectively , Sandeep Kulkarni first took lessons from acting guru Satyadev Dube at the most appropriate time, under whose guidance he could then progress confidently. In late 80s he began his stage career with plays like ‘Majha Khel Mandu De’ and ‘Dhyani Mani’. Besides few Bollywood movies, he was also seen in popular Hindi TV serials like ‘Discovery of India’, ‘9 Malabar Hill’, and ‘Nyay’. But, his entry into popular Marathi serial ‘Avantika’ actually brought him into limelight. He was soon offered the role of Dr. Sane in a Marathi film ‘Shwaas’, which not only won the national award but was India’s entry for the Oscars.
In fact, film ‘Shwaas’ of which Sandeep was a major part, had actually brought in that desired change into Marathi films. And, good days were here for Sandeep, who was spotted as the perfect character to play angry young man of Marathi films to fight injustice in the society. Mr. Apte came as a tailor made role for his kind of personality in the film ‘Dombivali Fast’ made by award winning director Nishikant Kamat. Later, Sandeep went on to be part of films like ‘Bedhund’, ‘Mai Baap’,’Made in China and ‘Sane Guruji’ but his performance in action packed thriller ‘Gaiir’ also went on to prove that he was an actor par excellence, fit to perform any kind of role.
In 2008, Sandeep received the best actor award during Nigerian Film festival for his role in ‘Ek Daav Sansaracha’ Earlier in 2006 , he had won the popular Screen Award for best actor in ‘Dombivali Fast’. In fact, ‘Dombivali Fast’ was the film which also received attention at many international film festivals but the best compliment came from Los Angeles Film festival, when Michael Douglas appreciated the film. If you study his profile, most of his films have been part of international film festivals.
Being very particular about accepting the roles based on not only good script but good cinematic presentation in the screenplay, he is now all set to invite attention of his admirers through his forthcoming film ‘Pratisaad’ which is due for release on 21st May 2010. In this film Sandeep plays a Homeopathy doctor. The script is based on the success story of a popular Homeopath Dr. Amarendra Nikam from Pimpri, Pune. He is also playing an important role of a Muslim character in next Bollywood film ‘Bandaa‘.
In an interview to Marathi Movie World, Sandeep Kulkarni speaks about his acting career and future assignments.
Q: You have been branded as the angry young man of Marathi films, who cannot stand to injustice in the society. Does the real Sandeep also react in the same fashion?
A: – ( Smile). Yes, to a certain extent, but I don’t express my anger that spontaneously, as I did through different roles in films. Like any other common man, I too dislike certain disturbing acts of people, who take others for granted. One has to respect the law and behave like a sensible citizen.
Q: How much is your involvement in your film, besides acting ?
A: I totally get involved right from the shooting till the film is distributed. The involvement also depends upon my personal relationship with the film makers. If I am close to them, then you will even find me helping them in their ad campaign. This is where my original profession comes into operation. And, I enjoy doing that job too, which is full of creativity. In my past film ‘Gaiir’ and the forthcoming film ‘Pratisaad’ my involvement has been there in the ad campaign too .
Q: You have been very choosy about your roles. Does the story and the role offered to you matter a lot ?
A: It is not only the story and role offered, but what I am more particular about is the presentation of screenplay. Unfortunately, today not many Marathi and Hindi film makers are paying attention to screenplay, which is the heart of the film. If your screenplay is good, you are sure to catch attention of the audience and hold them back to their seats from start till end. I really get inspired when I see the work of late Vijay Tendulkar through the screenplays written by him. With limitations during his time, he was so perfect in his presentation on paper.
‘Bharatmata’ needs our strong support for survival
At a time when Marathi film industry is prospering with quality films and good business in theatres, ‘Bharatmata’ the oldest theatre in Mumbai is facing the crisis. The theatre owners have been served notice by NTC after expiry of the lease. Though the Chief Minister of Maharashtra has assured all necessary help to save this theatre and marathi cinema and if possible also take over the same. However, All India Marathi film Mahamandal have in their plea suggested that the present theatre owners may only be allowed to manage this theatre, with Maharashtra government seeking the support of Central government to request NTC for permitting the theatre to remain there.
Actually, the protest was organized by all Producers/directors of Marathi cinema with the support of political parties; but very few celebrities like Smita Talwalkar, Suhas Bhalekar, Sandeep Kulkarni, Vijay Kadam from Marathi cinema turned up. Labour Union leader Datta Iswalkar and MNS leader Bala Nadgaonkar were the only leaders physically present to support for the cause. This only indicated that Marathi film industry was not united to fight their own battle.
‘Bharatmata’ which is housed in the populated middle class and lower middle class township Lalbaug/ Parel, is the only entertainment source for marathi cinema lovers. Even if, there’s any such proposal like multiplex coming at this place, the local residents just can’t afford to watch cinema there. Will the Government of Maharashtra preserve this oldest cinema theatre and give justice to the Marathi cinema lovers ? Can we see a strong support coming from marathi film lovers to save ‘Bharatmata’?
