Presenter: Sanjay Ghodawat Groups Production: Kruti Films Director: Satish Rajwade Story- Screenplay: Parag Kulkarni, Shirish Rajwade Cast: Sandeep Kulkarni, Ankush Chaudhary, Amruta Khanvilkar, Tejaswini Pandit, Uday Tikekar, Vidyadhar Joshi, Ila Bhate, Amita Khopkar, Sandeep Pathak, Mahesh Joshi Movie Review by: Saurabh Karnik |
Ferrari, Lexis, Chopper, lavish sets, and stunning outdoor locations… hey, I am not talking about any big budget Hindi film. These are some of the specific characteristics of latest Marathi movie – ‘Gaiir’. But still these are not the most attractive features, which would make the audiences appreciate this movie. There is a tight script, mind-boggling dialog, dazzling acting, excellent camera and technical work that makes the movie presentable . In short, it’s a perfect movie not just because of its big budget but also because of dedication and efforts put in by cast and crew of the movie.
As indicated in the promos it is a suspense thriller movie. Sameer Shroff (Sandeep Kulkarni) is a corporate giant. Smart, young, good looking and dashing personality. He marries an NRI’s daughter – Neha (Amrtuta Khanwilkar). Just like other newly married couples, they have a dream of pleasant future ahead. Suddenly, Neha and some other friends and colleagues of Samir realise that Samir’s duplicate exists in the same city. Samir’s duplicate targets Neha and tries to disturb his personal as well as professional life. Inspector Avinash Sardesai (Ankush Chaudhari) helps Sameer to solve the issue. Finally, movie ends with shocking end, certainly worth watching on the big screen.
The movie has good star cast including Sandeep Kulkarni, Amruta Khanwilkar, Ankush Chaudhari, Ila Bhate, Uday Tikekar and everybody has given superb performance. But still there is only one award for man of the match and it is none other than Sandeep Kulkarni. We had seen him in Shwaas, Dombiwli Fast, Made in China – all movies were based upon some social issues. But the way he has changed his body language, facial expressions, looks to present a legendary businessman, is simply amazing. Ankush’s performance was great as usual but Marathi film industry has got another talented actress in the form of Amruta and she is proving it with her every film. Uday Tikekar, Ila Bhate and Tejaswini Pandit’s performances were pleasant and increased the flavor of the movie. Vandana Gupte and Chinmay Mandlekar’s short but sweet appearances were also pleasing.
What makes a movie great from good is perfect combination of on screen and off screen (technical) performance and Gair is an ideal example of it. Parag Kulkarni has written a fantastic story, Satish Rajvade has given golden touch with good screenplay and Satish and Parag have made it even better with hard hitting dialogs. We have seen Satish’s talent in his previous movie – Ek daav Dhobipachad.. Background music has played major role in enrichment of the movie and due credit has to be given. The movie catches the attraction even with the effective use of background score. Even post production method is beautifully handled. Extra cuts, misbalancing effects are used beautifully. Atul Shidhaye has given useful contribution in styling of the movie. But movie loses it’s hold over audiences for last 5-7 minutes, also the idea of using romantic ‘Hindi’ song in Marathi movie is not acceptable.

‘MADE IN CHINA’ REVIEW

Rating: na
Movie: Made in China Director: Santosh Kolhe Producer: Kamal Khetan, Santosh Kolhe Presenter: Elixir Logical Thinkers Movies Pvt. Ltd. Music: Milind Joshi Cast: Sharad Bhutadiya, Upendra Limaye, Sandeep Kulkarni, Milind Gunaji, Madhura welankar, Mrunal Kulkarni Movie Review by: Sourabh Karnik |
There was already enough curiosity about Santosh Kolhe’s latest movie- ‘Made In China.’ The film is based upon controversial topic SEZ. It is no more a new concept for us. We are witnessed of disaster at Singur. We are part of society where localites of Raigad district are fighting against Reliance’s SEZ. Everybody is discussing whether it’s a boom or bam? Made in China covers all social, political, and cultural and many more aspects of SEZ and delivers a neutral view about SEZ. Though the subject suits to a documentary rather than film and director Santosh Kolhe is well known documentary maker, it is a complete bundle of all commercial aspect and that is the real success of movie. It is a complete socio-political movie.
The movie starts in a small village of Pimpalgaon where Appasaheb Jagdale (Sharad Bhutadiya) is quiet determine
to establish a special economic zone. His political rival Kailas Shinde (Upendra Limaye) and nephew Mohit (Sandeep Kulkarni) are not agree with his decision where as his daughter Parachi (Madhura Welankar) and other nephew (Milind Gunaji) are in favor of SEZ. Mohit has learned modern agricultural techniques from Israel and devoted lots of efforts for agricultural development of the region. It is hard for him to destroy his land for the sake of SEZ Appasaheb uses his political contacts and powers to break the movement of Mohit and Kailas. During this process Appasaheb was killed brutally. Further film moves around the trace of murderer and future of SEZ.
The film has got huge starcast. Sharad Bhutadiya, Sandeep Kulkarni, Madhura welankar, Milind Gunaji, Upendra Limaye, Mrunal Kulkarni all are the well known actors and quiet persistant about their performance. A special character has been given to every actor and it is nicely presented by all the actors. Mohit- presented by Sandeep Kulkarni is simply amazing. He has own group of fans and he not at all disappointed them. His accent, expressions, and body language everything is great. He had actually covered all the different shades of character. It is nice to see another fascinating role of Sandeep after ‘Dombivali Fast.’ Since last few years Madhura Welankar is consistently delivering good performance and this movie is not exception to it. A daughter of enfluensive politician and queen of Appasaheb’s Political kingdom, her appearance suits perfectly. Milind Gunaji and Upendra Limaye are good as usual. Mrunal Kulkarni’s presence can be remembered easily despite her short role.
Santosh Kolhe has done great work as a director. He was involved from script writing till post production and that is the reason behind perfect synchronization. He had worked with some of the most popular Hindi serials like ‘Kusum’, ‘Kyonki Saans Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ and he has utilized his experience very nicely. The story covers different aspects like changing villages, modern agricultural techniques, media, politics and still it doesn’t distract viewers. Despite the social subject, movie never sacrifices with any of the commercial movie. Dhananjay Kulkarni has performed very well behind the Camera.
The whole movie has feel of a rural village and credit must be given to him. Sachin Natekar has done fabulous work as an editor and movie would have not been made so perfectly without his efforts.
The best thing about movie is it connects the viewers efficiently. Though story moves around rural background, here farmers are not like the old Marathi movies. It has adequately covered changing scenario of Indian villages. We can feel that these characters can be existing around us. That is why I have n doubt in my mind that the movie is going to attract eyeballs and going to another good Marathi Movie.

Movie Review by: Kashmira |
After nearly more than sixty years of our nation independence we are still struggling with many problems which were faced by people in pre independence era. Even there is no proper definition of freedom youngsters today take the freedom of our country for granted. For them, it means the freedom to do whatever they please that matters. History lessons were only in school books and best forgotten in real life. And where the problem is arises. This is the base of the Shri Charbhuja Films Bedhund.
The story of this revolutionary movie goes like this Major A. S. Marathe has voluntarily retired from the military force after bagging several awards for his achievements on the battlefield. He now wants to bring awareness amongst the youngsters of today about the importance of India’s freedom and the trouble our
Bedhund freedom fighters took to accomplish it. For this, he joins a military school as a trainer. The film begins with five guys, Paddy, Sameer, Nikhil, Amey, Jignesh and three girls Anushka, Mitali and Manva amongst many others on their way to the training school during their vacation. Their meeting with the teachers is followed by meticulous training and group discussions. After all this autocrats they are all on the verge of running away from the month-long meticulous classes. They cannot come to terms with the preaching of the Major. But something happens to change their mindset and they are helped by their ‘sir’ in their endeavor.
Sandeep Kulkarni as Major A. S. Marathe is convincing as the factual, very impressive and does justice to his character. But it is time that he changes his style of acting and dialogue delivery, as he seems to be getting typecast. Of the eight youngsters, only Santosh Juvekar as Paddy leaves an impact. This is because the other characters are not well plausible and don’t get cataloged in the viewer’s mind. Though the film has been shot at Nasik’s Bhosale Military School, it would have been much better with cinematography. While music by Ajay-Atul is worth a mention, there is just one song film on the youth which comes out of the blue in the film. The direction is satisfactory. It’s a very interesting topic but not well-handled and slow-paced. It could have been a better fare.
