Kedar Promotes ‘Iraada Pakka’ in his own style
Marathi Cinema is also moving in a professional manner, as far as the film’s promotion is concerned. Right from ‘Mi Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy‘ we found this difference, when the powada based song was used in the film’s promotion. Now, film maker Kedar Shinde has used a new approach for promotion of his film ‘Irradaa Pakka’, staring Sonali Kulkarni and Siddharth Jadhav.
Recently, he picturised a song for the film’s promotion, where he had involved about 20 popular artistes along with their spouses. This experiment is first of its kind in Marathi cinema. “The film lovers will be happy to see their favourite artistes with their real life partners together in this song,” feels Kedar. When this song was picturised for two days, Kedar and his wife paid personal attention on all these special invitees, to see that they were comfortable for that event.
Some of the artistes who took part in this special promotional song were veteran Atmaram Bhende, Kishore Pradhan, Ramdas Padhye, Alka Kubal, Bharat Jadhav,Sandeep Kulkarni, Ashok Shinde, Ankush Choudhary, Sumeet Raghavan, Prasad Oak, Vijay Patkar & Shreyas Talpade. The film will be due for release soon .
Siddharth Jadhav sings Marathi tunes
For versatile actors, nothing is impossible. So be it production, direction, choreography or even singing! Showing his multi-talents is actor Siddharth Jadhav for whom all the stages of performance be it television, Theatre or the big screen are a cake walk. This time the comedian has turned a playback singer. He has sung his number in Gajendra Ahire’s Sixer.
The hip-hop song is written by Ahire and Vidhyadhar Bhave. While the production was on, there was a discussion on whom to give the song to sing. This was when Ahire directly went to Siddharth and offered him to sing it. Siddharth, too, decided to try take up the challenge and try his hand out in this field. “I feel happy to tell that Siddharth has sung the song very easily and methodically. It is fun to hear him sing.”says Ahire.
Sixer is the first movie of Vidhyadhar Bhave. I am Tansen, but I never thought that I would get an opportunity to sing, said Siddharth adding that I always sung in my college’s gathering but had never thought that I would get the opportunity to sing professionally. While singing I did not take any tension. I am satisfied that I sung very well
‘ULADHAAL’ REVIEW

Rating: ★★1/2
Producer: Vishwas Films Director: Aditya Sarpotdar Script, Screenplay, Dialogues: Rajesh Kolan,Vijay Patwardhan, Aditya Sarpotdar Camera: Sanjay Nair Music: Ajay-Atul Cast: Makarand Anaspure, Bharat Jadhav, Ankush Chaudhari, Siddharth Jadhav, Lokesh Gupte, Subodh Bhave, Madhura Movie Review by: Jitendra More |
Have you ever watched a Marathi movie with a perfect blend of all the genres of cinema? Well, veteran actors and directors concerned with the future of the industry do not have to worry anymore when there are directors like Aditya Sarpotdar coming up with debut movies like Ulaadhal.
The plot might look simple on paper but the way in which Sarpotdar connects the actors with the storyline is something that shapes up the movie.
Sayajirao’s (Makarand Anaspure) 250-year-old dhaal (shield), which has been safeguarded by generations is stolen by Guru (Subodh Bhave). Guru is helped by Sayajirao’s men after they are promised a share in the money that would come after selling off the dhaal. Guru, however, has other plans. He kills Sayajirao’s men but Baban (Lokesh Gupte) manages to save himself. He chases Guru, who is on his way to Goa to sell the dhaal.
When Sayajirao finds out the betrayal by his men, he determines to kill those who have been disloyal to him.
In Goa, Baban hires small thieves Vickey (Ankush Chaudhary), Bharat Jadhav and their partners in crime, Neha and Preeti (Aditi Sarangdhar and Madhura Velankar) to steal the dhal from Guru. While Sayajirao and his men get hold of Baban, Vickey and his partners fight out their nerves against the brutal Guru. Unable to find Baban, they decide to sell the dhal themselves. They ask Sikandar (Siddharth Jadhav), a dealer in selling stolen items to find a prospect buyer for the dhal. Sikandar ends up narrowing down on Guru. This is where the entire Ulaadhal or commotion begins.
The elements of a commercial cinema like the designer clothes and exotic locations of Goa and Mauritius take the movie a step ahead of the everyday movies. Scriptwriter Rajesh Kolan has maintained the seriousness, humour, and thrill that keep the logical element of the movie in place.
The lead actors Makarand Anaspure, Subodh Bhave, Bharat Jadhav and Ankush Chaudhary have given strong performances. Anaspure has moved nicely from his usual comic roles to a serious man-of-honour, who is proud of his family heritage and is ready to give his life to save the dhal. Bharat Jadhav and Siddharth Jadhav, as a Hydrabadi Kabadiwala add to the comedy element in the story. The appearances of Mahesh Manjrekar as an ‘item number’ and Nirmal Pandey as Tony are unnecessary but add to the glamour. What scores is the music by Ajay- Atul, the lyrics that have a fusion of Marathi, Hindi, and English words and the direction of Sarpotdar. All kudos to the Ulaadhal team.

‘SADE MAADE TEEN’ REVIEW
 |
Rating: na
Presenter: Zee Talkies Producers: Anubhuti Art Director: Ankush Chaudhari – Sachit Patil Music: Ajit Parabh – Hrishikesh Kamerkar Cast: Ashok Saraf, Makarand Anaspure, Bharat Jadhav, Siddharth Jadhav, Amruta Khanvilkar, Sujata Joshi… Movie Review by: Nayana |
What do u get when you put together 3 brilliant marathi actors and give a Desi Tadka of oldie Chalti ka naam gaadi? Simple…! This makes a new massala movie in marathi. A few years back Mahesh Kothare tried such a Tadka in his “Dhumdhadaka’ which was based on ‘Pyar Kiye jaa’, and marathi movie industry rejuvenated. Else marathi film was stucked in a wicked savkar(money lander)/ jamindar(landowner) and sasurvashin/ saas bahu type, so called ‘bechari bahu’ , and overflowing buckets of tears with sobbing women coming out of the cinema halls. It was Mahesh Kothare (Dhumdhadaka) and Sachin Pilgaonkar’s (Navari mile navryala) efforts, which really dragged marathi film out of such stuff.
When one started speaking about marathi films 2types of reflex actions suddenly blown on – one is with twisting faces ‘We don’t like to watch marathi films’, and another one with a deep sigh ‘Gone those golden days of marathi films’!!
History repeated and aapale Sachit Patil and Ankush Chaudhary along with Zee talkies and Anubhuti Arts entered in film production with ‘Saade Maade Teen’. Na!! It’s not a remake or replica, but it’s a metamorphosis of the same theme bloomed in the marathi mati. Ofcourse, inspired from ‘Chalti ka nam Gadi’ one of Kishor Kumar’s debut film, the film is a rib-tickling comedy set against the backdrop of Garage, filled with ‘Ek ladki bhigi…’ type ‘barasat’ ka gana or may be ‘panch rupaiyya’ type, leading to hilarious situations!
While this film promises to be potential blockbuster this year, it also makes the launch of Zee Talkies brand.
The story is of 3 brothers- the family head ‘Dada’ (Ashok Saraf) and his 2 brothers Madan (Makarand Anaspure) and Chandan (Bharat Jadhav), running their Kurale garage. The younger duo never dares to go against dada’s wish. Dada is a character who hates female because of his first crush. A gal (Sukanya Kulkarni) betrayed him after a marriage proposal.
Obviously, when 2 gals enters in the life of the younger ones, the chaos evoked, and both caught in dilemma of the threat of Dada and emotional attachments. Here enters the Villain to create obstacle between the life of our dupe Chandan, and opulent Madhura. Now guess who help this couple? So after removing all the barricades, the smashing end of the film…
Sachit and Ankush played a safe game. Well, half battle was already won by casting these trios, and afterwards director didn’t allow Makarand and Bharat to rove from the basic storyline. Even they haven’t added their famous accent shown in other films and used them tactfully as never seen before.
A little but most important thing, if they could use the Ashok saraf’s caliber more effectively, as the role offered to him is less challengeable as compare to his capacity, the film would be definitely full 2 dhamal!!!
Else nothing to say about their fantastic tuning, understanding, and coordination. Instead our wise audience won’t accept such a dupe characters. Needless to say Minor mistake like winning applause by repeating same dialogue excusable!!
Dialogues by Sanjay Mone satisfy you. Well, its not a burst of laughter in fact the film doesn’t need it, but more sharp dialogues would keep the film at great height surely.
The directors have taken some kind of support of farcical comedy. The climax fighting comes in the form of farce. Of course no one expects smashing de danadan fighting as it is not an action film, but still…..missing something in this shot only. Otherwise the film takes you from smiling to chuckling and then giggling. Overall a fresh comedy!!!
Bakula Namdev Ghotale, Directed by Kedar Shinde

Rating: ★★
Presenter: Shemaroo Entertainment Producer: Atul Maroo, Ketan Maru Director: Kedar Shinde Dialogue & Lyrics: Machindra More Music: Devdutt Sabale Cast: Bharat Jadhav, Siddharth Jadhav, Sonali Kulkarni, Vijay Chavan, Kushal Badrike, Ganesh Revdekar… Movie Review by: Pradip Patil |
Kedar Shinde and Shemaroo films continue their successful association with the latest movie ‘Bakula Namdev Ghotale’. To churn out 3 movies in the gap of 6 months, now that’s something interesting.
This time Kedar plays it safe by doing what he does best, That is directing a comdey. Yet there are few important things that show that he is indeed trying to do something new instead of sticking to the tried and tested path. So let’s have a look at those ‘different’ things.
First of all, This movie has Bharat Jadhav, but not as a hero. This time he is the bad guy.
Second and I think most important, it has Siddhart Jadhav in the role of protagonist, though he is not your typical hero material.
And last but not the least, this movie atleast deals with an issue which is much discussed these days, but let me tell you that’s not the main aim of this movie. Every new movie from Kedar raises the expectations high, so does his latest offering entertains? The answer is yes, but not as much as his earlier works.
The movie’s biggest drawback is it’s weak first half. The plot revolves around a newly wed couple Namdev (A forgetful simpleton), Bakula (Namya’s intelligent wife) and Ghotale (the wicked landlord). When Namya and Bakula come to Ghotale to take his blessing, Ghotale falls for Bakula and decides to win her at any cost. So he hatches a plan to kill namya. But namya survives the attack and returns home after few days. But its too late as the compensation money for Namya’s accidental death is about to be handed to bakula. So what games the couple play to make the most of the situation forms the rest of the story.
Unfortunately the first half drags on. The characters are effectively established but it could have been easliy achieved with less reels. The first half leaves viewers hoping for more action but nothing happens except few funny moments.
In the second half, Kedar has managed to salvage the movie and from there onwards it is total timepass. The second half is so well made that it actually makes you overlook the insipid first half. Full marks to the entire team for this. Ghaotale and Bakula’s efforts to outsmart each other keeps the audience entertained.
Devdatta Sabale’s music works pretty well. The movie has two lavani songs, both are picturised on gorgeous Resham Tipnis. The another duet song is really catchy and nicely picturised. I bet you will be humming it after the movie. Dialogs are funny and serve their purpose well.
Newcomer Sonali Kulkarni plays her part with confidence. Siddhart Jadhav is fun to watch and does justice to his role. Bharat Jadhav is excellent, Even though his character is picturised as funny for most of the part, he effectively portrays the mean and cunning shades of the character. I wonder why an actor like Vijay Chavan is wasted in such an insignificant role.
Bakula Namdev Ghotale has its own faults, but it does what it is supposed to do, that is to make you laugh.
