Review
Is the ongoing monsoon dampening the spirit of Marathi film lovers?
The entire month of July was a wet spell in different parts of Maharashtra including the city of Mumbai and suburbs. This certainly affected the business of Marathi film industry, as there was poor turnout at cinema halls. And, the situation seems to be no different in the beginning of August. Recently, due to continuous rains, some of the better films like ‘Smile please’, ‘Girlfriend’, ‘Baba’ could not find the regular crowd at ticket windows across Maharashtra.
Now, during this week the situation has been worst in places like Konkan, Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur and Pune. As per latest reports received, some of the areas in Maharashtra are still under water and the people have either left their houses for safer places, or preferred to remain inside their homes. T here has been lot of damage to the crop and property.
Some of the big Hindi films are releasing around 15th August, but this week a multi starrer Marathi film ‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa 2′ has been released as per schedule and the film will be screened at maximum cinema halls all over Maharashtra. Now, it remains to be seen, how this film does the business at the ticket windows in Mumbai and Maharashtra? Actor turned director Hemant Dhome who has directed this film is looking forward to good response for his film. According to him there is no calculation to make a successful film. The film should connect with the audience . And, this is most important.
‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa 2′ has been shot in London and therefore it is a big budget film with multi star cast in it. It has renowned artistes like Sanjay Narvekar, Mrinal Kulkarni, Priyadarshan Jadhav, Aniket Vishwasrao, Mrunmayee Godbole, Pushkar Shrotri, Prasad Oak, Anand Ingale & Smita Gondkar. The film has music by Bollywood music directors Troy- Arif and cinematography by award winning cinematographer Sanjay Memane. So, there are big expectations from this film. But, once again as rightly said by the director, this film has to connect with the audience.

Having made his debut as a director in Marathi film industry through an emotion filled drama ‘Hridayantar’ two years ago, renowned Bollywood Costume designer Vikram Phadnis has now returned with another Marathi film ‘Smile Please’. While in his previous film Vikram presented the marital crisis of a couple married over 12 years, yet glued to their brittle married life, in the present film he presents the trauma faced by the wife after divorce, while facing her teenage daughter, who hates her and lives with her husband.
Nandini (Mukta Barve) a divorcee, who is an award winning fashion photographer, lives with her father (Satish Alekar) and housekeeper Jyoti (Trupti Khamkar). On few occasions, she keeps meeting her ex husband Shishir (Prasad Oak) and her around 12 year old daughter Nupur ( Vedashree Mahajan) . But, her daughter’s strange behaviour with her mother, disturbs Nandini, who undergoes disturbed state of mind. Life is not easy for her , as she has to keep away from her busy work schedule. At this crucial period of time, a little before the stroke of interval a youngster Viraj ( Lalit Prabhakar) who is known to her father’s friend walks in their house, as a guest for few days. Viraj wins the trust of all members of the family, except Shishir, who hates him.
So, in the post interval stage we notice how the efforts of Viraj help Nandini to face such a situation by regaining her self confidence . He also helps Nupur to understand her mother . In short, Viraj plays a good Samaritan. ‘Smile Please’ is a good effort from director Vikram Phadnis selecting a social problem which exists in families where both husband and wife have busy lifestyle. He has also shown the way but his screenplay really takes off only after the arrival of Viraj, however, the interaction between Trupti Khamkar in the role of Jyoti, the housekeeper and Satish Alekar (as Nandini’s father) , helps bring some humour into the screenplay.
Nevertheless, the performances by Mukta Barve, Prasad Oak, Satish Alekar, Lalit Prabhakar, Aditi Govitrikar and Vedashree helps give a realistic look to the film. Mukta Barve in particular has stole the show with her superb performance. Music has limited scope in this film, with two songs, but Rohan-Rohan have made their presence felt . Costumes designing done by Vikram Phadnis is no doubt worth appreciating, but above all, it is the photography by Milind Jog which impresses the most. Though this film deals with a serious subject, it is certainly a worth watch film for the sake of superb performances by the main artistes.
Lalit Prabhakar’s Chance Pe dance on the sets of ‘Smile Please’
Known for portraying variety of roles on television and films tall and dashing actor Lalit Prabhakar will now be seen in Vikram Phadnis‘ forthcoming film ‘Smile Please’. This particular character of Lalit is in contrast with the kind of role played by him in ‘Anandi Gopal’. In ‘Smile Please’ he is playing his the character which is similar to what he is in real life.
The best example of his spontaneous reaction was noticed during the song picturisation of this film, when he was asked to go and dance during a Ganapati procession . Even after the director said OK to the scene, Lalit went on to dance in that procession and even involved the crew members present on the sets. Even otherwise, on the sets of this film Lalit was always found in a jovial mood.In this film along with Lalit Prabhakar there are other lead artistes like Mukta barve, Prasad Oak and Aditi Govitrikar. The film will be released all over Maharashtra on 11th July 2019.
‘स्माईल प्लीज’ चित्रपटात अभिनेत्री अदिती गोवित्रीकर डॉक्टर भूमिकेत
बॉलिवूड फिल्म इंडस्ट्री मध्ये आपली एक वेगळी ओळख निर्माण करणारी सुंदर अभिनेत्री म्हणजे अदिती गोवित्रीकर. २००९ मध्ये अदितीने संजय जाधव यांच्या ‘रिंगा रिंगा‘ या चित्रपटामधून मराठी सिनेसृष्टीत पदार्पण केले आणि आता लवकरच ती विक्रम फडणीस यांच्या ‘स्माईल प्लीज‘ या दुसऱ्या मराठी चित्रपटात झळकणार आहे.
विक्रम फडणीस आणि अदिती गोवित्रीकर यांची मैत्री खूपच जुनी आहे. आपल्या या मैत्रीबद्दल आणि ही भूमिका कशी मिळाली याबद्दल अदिती सांगते, ”सुरुवातीच्या काळात विक्रम नृत्य दिग्दर्शक होता आणि त्याचे शोज मी आवर्जून पाहायचे. तेव्हापासून आमची मैत्री आहे. ज्यावेळी त्याने ‘हृदयांतर‘ हा चित्रपट केला त्यावेळी मला मनापासून वाटायचे, की भविष्यात त्याच्या चित्रपटाचा भाग व्हावा आणि माझी ही इच्छा लवकरच पूर्ण झाली. त्याने मला त्याच्या ‘स्माईल प्लीज’ या चित्रपटासाठी विचारणा केली. चित्रपटातील आपल्या भूमिकेविषयी अदिती म्हणते, ”या चित्रपटाचे कथानकच मुख्य हिरो आहे. कथानक अतिशय सशक्त असल्याने हा चित्रपट नक्कीच उत्कृष्ट ठरेल. वैयक्तिक आयुष्यात मी डॉक्टर असल्याने पडद्यावरही डॉक्टरची भूमिका साकारण्याची संधी मला मिळाल्याने मी खूपच खुश आहे.’
‘स्माईल प्लीज‘ हा चित्रपट येत्या १९ जुलै रोजी प्रदर्शित होत आहे.
