Cancellation of ‘Laathi’ show helps ‘Mumbai Pune Mumbai-2′
Late Sanjay Surkar’s last directed film ‘Laathi’ had announced its release in about fifty screens in Mumbai and surrounding areas from today, i.e. 11th December 2015. But, the film could not be released today at Plaza Cinema, Dadar, where the show of this film was scheduled at 3.30 pm. As a result of this, those who had come to see the film at this venue, preferred to watch ‘Mumbai Pune Mumbai-2′ for the second time, instead of returning home disappointed. MarathiMovieWorld.com correspondent , who had gone to see this film, noticed this scene at Plaza cinema ticket window.
It may be recalled that the makers of ‘Lathi’ neither had any press show for the media people, nor did they promote the film, in spite of having many big artistes like Sachin Khedekar & Subodh Bhave in this film.
Actually, this friday, there were three films to be released simultaneously. Out of which ‘Sangharsha Yatra’ backed out, postponing its release. But, ‘Laathi’ kept on is using daily ads in newspapers, about its release this friday. There was no clear indication, as to why the film’s show was cancelled. While the booking clerk at the ticket window stated that the film will be released on Saturday, the door keeper standing near the window, stated that there was no guarantee of the film’s release, even next day. We had heard about cancellation of a film’s show on the first day, for the reason of non arrival of print or non availability of audience; but the release of a film on Saturday, instead of Friday, is a news to film industry.
Whatever may be the reason, but the audience who had gone to see this film at different venues on the first day, must have been surely disappointed, as this was the last film of creative director Late Sanjay Surkar and the new producers had released this film, perhaps to pay tributes to the film maker of sensible Marathi films in the past. However, at Plaza Cinema, the makers of ‘Mumbai Pune Mumbai-2′ should thank the makers of ‘Lathi’ for the cancellation of their show, on the first day.

‘Katyar…’ takes you into mesmerizing world of Indian classical music
Rating: ★★★★
Studio/presenter: Zee Studios Producers: Nitin Keni, Nikhil Sane Director: Subodh Bhave Writer: Purushottam Darwhekar Screenplay, Dialogues: Prakash Kapadia Music: Pt. Jitendra Abhisheki, Shankar Ehsaan Loy Genres: Drama Censor: U/A Duration: 124 Min. Cast: Shankar mahadevan, Sachin Pilgaonkar, Subodh Bhave, Mrunmayee Deshpande, Amruta Khanvilkar, Sakshi Tanwar, Pushkar Shrotri, Swapnil Rajshekhar, Asmita Chinchalkar, Chinmay Pataskar Chinmay Shintre Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke |
Giving a cinematic look to a popular Marathi play is not new to Marathi cinema. But, it is not an easy job, to do so. Much depends on the skillful presentation of the screenplay, taking maximum cinematic liberties. However, actor turned director Subodh Bhave has managed to do it, with the help of an expert Bollywood screenplay writer Prakash Kapadia. And, when you see his film ‘Katyar Kaljat Ghusali’ , you realize, how the screenplay writer has developed this original story of Purushottam Darvhekar into a wonderful film, without disturbing its original essence.
‘Katyar Kaljat Ghusali’ focuses more on recreating the period of the story, with well researched set designs and realistic outdoor locations. Rest is left to the director, to accommodate the Indian classical music, by retaining some original songs from the historical play and adding some meaningful, well suited songs for the right occasions in the film. The beauty of this film, is its mesmerizing music of Jitendra Abhisheki & Shankar Ehsaan Loy with superb cinematography by Sudhir Palsane. Be it indoor court of the King, the old haveli or picturesque outdoor locations, the camera has captured them all, very skillfully.
As the film has emphasized more on the different attitudes of the characters in this film, the selection of actors has been perfect. Shankar Mahadevan seems to be the right choice, to play Kind hearted Pandit Bhanushankar, while the most experienced Sachin Pilgaonkar has found a lifetime role, to portray a negative character. He has been given ample scope for displaying the selfish and cunning attitude of Khan Saab, through his body language, facial expressions and with his proficiency in Urdu language. Subodh Bhave finds an equally good role of Sadashiv, the disciple of Panditji and he has given full justice to his character.
In the roles of Uma and Zarina, Mrunmayee Deshpande and Amruta Khanvilkar, have also justified their selection, with good performances. Pushkar Shrotri and Swapnil Rajshekhar have limited scope, while playing the Poet and King respectively, but their performances are convincing. Sakshi Tanvar has very little to do; but she too has played her part well. Best designing of costumes and perfect make up, also help to make this film more realistic. But, as said before, this film is for all those lovers of Indian classical music. For others, this film is likely to create a liking for Indian classical music. After all, it is a treasure of our Indian culture. So, don’t miss it.
