‘Bharatmata’ needs our strong support for survival

MMW Editorial — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 07:28:44 +0000

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’?

“Playing a vegetable vendor is a more challenging act.” – Smita Talwalkar

Shweta Khot — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:31:22 +0000

Smita Talwalkar has contributed a lot to the Marathi movie world, television and stage with her choice of socially relevant subjects and with her ability to convey a message. Her own films like ‘Chaukat Raja’, ‘Savat Majhi Ladki’, ‘Tu Tithe Mee’ and ‘SaatChya Aat Gharat’ went on to say a lot about her concern towards society. Her TV productions ‘Katha Ek Aanandichi’ and ‘Ardhangini’ were also relevant to social issues. At present she is playing a lifetime role in the play ‘Govid Ghya Kuni Gopal Ghya’ depicting a poor lower middle class vegetable vendor fighting for her right. Indeed, Smita Talwalkar is an extraordinary actress with a mission to offer something back to the society where she has earned a name.
MMW met her recently during her stage show. Here she is in chit chat with us.

Q: You have produced good films in the past, what’s new in the making ?
A: Yes, I do have a subject; but I have to still work on it. There is still time.
Q: Do you have to say something about the issues relating to suppression of women?
A: Not much to say at present. But, tell me; even if I decide to present something on that topic, how many women would come forward to willingly accept a girl child. Even today, many women still desire to give birth to a male child. Time has changed and so a woman should also change. Watch my role of Janabai in this play ‘Govind Ghya Kuni Gopal Ghya’. She is illiterate but goes with her conscience when it comes to taking few crucial decisions.

Q: How happy you are playing this character of Janabai ?
A: I am glad that I was offered this role. It is the most challenging role and I enjoy playing Janabai. But, for that I did personally visit Byculla vegetable market to study the body language of those vegetable vendors. Kiran Mane , my co-artiste, helped me to develop on the accent and in just few days time I was ready to enact Janabai .
