Then we saw the rise of women film makers like Shrabani Deodhar through award-winning films like ‘Lapandaav‘ & ‘Sarkarnama‘ and Kanchan Adhikari through a sensible film like ‘Manini‘ which was the first Marathi film shot in Dubai. Kanchan had already become popular on television, when she directed a mega serial ‘Damini‘. Actress turned director late Smita Talwalkar also offered some good sensible films, besides directing her debut film ‘Savat Majhi Laadki‘.

During the past few years, some more women directors have entered Marathi film industry and prominent among them are, Samruddhi Porey, Swapna Waghmare Joshi, Mrinal Kulkarni, Kranti Redkar, Manva Naik & Pratima Joshi, who have offered good subjects with nice presentations and much more is expected from them. We had also heard about Mrunmayee Deshpande making an announcement about her entry into direction. On the occasion of Women’s day, we wish all these new women film makers all the best.

Now days, our Marathi films have been presenting new scripts offering variety to film lovers. And the latest released film ‘Madhuri‘ falls in this category. Set on the backdrop of picturesque Panchgani in Satara district, ‘Madhuri‘ presents an emotion filled bond between middle aged mother and her daughter, who has attained adulthood. So, it is the generation gap clearly noticed in the initial part of the film, between Single Mother Madhuri( Sonali Kulkarni) who is a College Professor and her happy go lucky daughter Kavya ( Sanhita Joshi) .

When the differences between mother and daughter attain a particular level, we find a particular happening , which takes Madhuri into Coma. After being operated, she survives, but suffers Retrograde amnesia and this brings Kavya closer to her mother and she does exactly what the treating psychiatrist ( Sharad Kelkar) advises her to do. Kavya’s boy friend Amar( Virajas Kulkarni) who is possessive about Kavya finds her drifting away from him. At this crucial stage we find another youngster Rohan ( Akshay Kelkar) who happens to be student of Madhuri, coming closer to mother and daughter, while treating her to recover completely.

Director Swapna Waghmare Joshi has paid more attention on emotions of the mother and daughter while handling this sensible subject. Through the characters of Shard Kelkar and Akshay Kelkar, she has brought the required humour into the screenplay. At the same time, the film has delivered a very good social message effectively, in the concluding part.

After ‘Kachcha Limbu‘ and ‘Gulabjam‘ , Sonali Kulkarni has found another good film to display her potential and she has played the title role wonderfully. But, the real star of the film is Sanhita Joshi who grabs all the attention with her fabulous performance. Sanhita has got an opportunity to exhibit different shades of her character through the role of Kavya. And, she has lived up to the expectations of not only her mother but also the audience. Sanhita certainly deserves an award for her performance in this film. Sharad Kelkar who plays the bridge between the mother and daughter offers excellent support, while good support also comes from Akshay Kelkar and Virajas Kulkarni. The film does surprise the audience with the presence of two actors in special appearance.

Music has very less scope in this film, but the background music is good. Cinematography is excellent and the costume designing of all the characters is also impressive. All in all, ‘Madhuri‘ is certainly a worth watch film for the entire family. Thanks to Urmila Matondkar for presenting a Marathi film on a sensible subject.

Presenting cinematic versions of popular Marathi plays is not new to Marathi film industry. ‘Ghashiram Kotwal‘, ‘Katyar Kaljat Ghusali‘ and ‘Natasamrat‘ are the best examples. Now, Bollywood actor John Abraham, who is a great lover of Marathi theatre and films, is producing a Marathi film, which is the cinematic version of popular Marathi play of 80’s ‘Savita Damodar Paranjape‘. This Marathi play with mind blowing script received overwhelming response from the audience when it was launched in 1985.

Directed by Shekhar Tamhane this gripping play had Reema Lagu and Rajan Tamhane in the lead. John wanted the new generation to watch this interesting subject and hence decided to give a cinematic form to this play, retaining the title. The film will be directed by Swapna Waghmare Joshi and will present popular Marathi actor Subodh Bhave along with Trupti Toradmal & Rakesh Bapat in lead roles. John has decided to release this film on 31st August all over Maharashtra.
