At a time when rural based love stories have become popular on Marathi small and big screens, Director Sushrut Bhagwat has dared to present unconventional urban love story through his latest Marathi film ‘Asehi Ekada Vhave‘. It is the story of Siddharth Vaidya( Umesh Kamat) and Kiran Paranjape( Tejashri Pradhan) both from well to do families. Siddharth who is visually impaired runs the big family business of a popular brand of spices along with his elder sister Revati ( Shravani Pillai) who is CEO &MD of the company, while Kiran who is the only daughter of rich parents ( Ajit Bhure & Kavita Lad) works as a Radio Jockey with a popular radio channel.

Siddharth who is a regular listener of Kiran’s programme, falls in love with her mesmerizing voice and spontaneous smile. He offers a business proposal to her radio channel to market his brand, provided Kiran does the publicity , being the most popular RJ. During their first business meeting, Kiran is highly impressed by Siddharth’s behavior and is not aware that he is visually impaired, as the meeting takes place in presence of Siddharth’s marketing manager. During her second meeting with him at her radio channel, she comes to know about the reality . But, during their interaction, Siddharth misunderstands her. So, he tries to keep himself away from her. However, Kiran in spite of being humiliated by Siddharth becomes his sympathizer. Her broad minded parents too, support her decision to marry him . Finally, all goes well at the end in this unusual love story.

Director Sushrut Bhagwat has tried his best to give justice to this two hour long film, with emotion filled sequences lined up one after the other, in the limited content available to him. Writer Shravani Pillai has grabbed a big role of Revati for herself in this film, which she has played convincingly. But, as a writer, she fails to generate much interest in the post interval session. The lead pair of the film come opposite each other after 40 minutes from start of the film. The story of the film drags in the screenplay with lots of discussion among different characters in the style of a drama in this session.

Lead pair played by Umesh Kamat and Tejashri Pradhan have however impressed through their wonderful performances throughout the film. They find good support from Ajit Bhure, Kavita Lad, Narayan Jadhav & few others. Music of ‘Asehi Ekada Vhave‘ film is impressive with both Avadhoot Gupte and Advait Patwardhan attempting suitable melodies for this emotion filled subject. Salil Sahasrabuddhe’s cinematography and Namita Gogate’s costume designing are two more plus points of this film. Don’t expect entertainment and humour from this film, as it deals with a love story with a serious subject. Technically, it a well made film.

The post Asehi Ekada Vhave ( असेही एकदा व्हावे ) appeared first on .

There have been many films made, on Gangsters in Mumbai. Three years ago, there was a film ‘Shootout at Wadala’, which was based on middle class graduate turned gangster of Mumbai Manohar alias Manya Surve. John Abraham had played his character  in this film. The film presented detailed story  of this gangster, showing his final encounter with Mumbai police.

Now, producer Udaydada Lad and director Sushrut Bhagwat have made a film ‘Mumbai Time-A revenge Story’ which is based on another qualified youngster turned gangster,  Amar Bhargav Surve. The film has declared in the beginning of the film that no character in this film resembles any person dead or alive.  Also,  the director of the film has denied that the character of Amar has any  relationship with late Manya Surve. But,  the crime records available on internet, show that Manya Surve had a step brother , Bhargav dada, who was also a gangster.

In the film, there is a character of Bhargav dada( Played by Sanjay Mone) , who is shown as the father of lead character Amar ( Umesh Kamat). He is shown returning from jail, to begin his business, as a bar owner. In the film, Amar’s mother( Ashwini Ekbote) encourages her son to take up a good job, after completing his education. And, Amar does try for the same, being an intelligent youngster. But, his father’s name and his past comes in the way of his getting good job. One day, Amar goes out with his friend( Advait Dadarkar) and when his friend is being attacked by local goon Ravdya ( Kishore Chougule) belonging to notorious gangster Anna( Deepak Shirke), he intervenes and injures Ravdya. Later, Amar surrenders before the police. But, ravdya takes revenge, by killing Amar’s parents.

At this stage of this film, we see the beginning of the revenge story, with Amar joining the Khan ( Ramesh Bhatkar) gang, pleasing Khan,  by eliminating the members of  Anna gang, one by one, using his skills. His father’s right hand( Rahul Mehendale) also joins Amar, in this revenge drama. But, the right hand of  Khan – Dattu Fighter( Rahul Gore) , is unable to bear the closeness of the film’s hero with Khan and he keeps on playing his dirty tricks.

There is a special Police officer Mr. Inamdar ( Mahesh Manjrekar) called from Nagpur to stop the Gangwar, but instead of solving the case, he wastes his time playing chess and drinking tea with Amar. No freehand is given to his character.  Similarly, Mrunal Dusanis, who plays Amar’s girlfriend, keeps on supporting Amar, even in his shoot out revenge story.  Towards the end of the film, we find Dattu Fighter  swearing for revenge; though all members of Anna gang including his chief are eliminated. In the climax, we clearly find a clue being given, that the sequel of this film will be made, by the makers of this film to go with the present trend.

‘Mumbai Time’ has lot of resemblance to many past Bollywood films on gangsters, including recently released film ‘Dagadi Chawl’, especially the concluding part. There is lot of violence in the film, with firing of bullets in most of the scenes. Umesh Kamat has played his role convincingly. Good support comes from Ramesh Bhatkar, Sanjay Mone, Deepak Shirke, Ashwini Ekbote, Mrunal Dusanis,Kishore Chougule and others.  The character of Police officer played by Mahesh Manjrekar is not well defined in the film, which goes on to show that police have been given less importance in this gangster dominated film. Even the character of a school master, is just for name sake in the film.

Technically, the film is well made, with good editing work by Rajesh Rao and well captured photography by Ajith Reddy.  Ashok Patki & Yogita Chitale have provided well suited  music, to few songs in this film. All in all, the filmmaker has been able to create an atmosphere of Gang Wars in Mumbai, during 80s, with some of the  dialogues in Hindi, especially,  those uttered by the character of Ramesh Bhatkar and few others. Only those, who love to watch action films, on such subjects, may like this film. The film could have been more gripping and entertaining.
