Song Lyrics:
Alagad waryaavar udati bat saangati tula,
अलगद वा-यावर उड़ती बट सांगते तुला
Halakech lawati papani bagh sangate tula,
हलकेच लवती पापणी… बघ सांगते तुला
Guntale jiv he, aapale ki jase odh chandrachi saagara
गुंतले, जीव हे आपले, की जसे ओढ चंद्राची सागरा
Saath de tu mala, saath de tu mala
साथ दे तु मला, साथ दे तु मला
Saath de tu mala, saath de tu mala
साथ दे तु मला, साथ दे तु मला
Koradya matis sarr hi paavasachi saavare,
कोरड्या मातीस ही सर पावसाची सावरे,
mann punha ka hot jate valiv bede baavare
मन पुन्हा का होत जाते वळीव वेडे बावरे
chimb he sohale vaahati ki jase ye punha gaarawa
चिंब हे, सोहळे वाहती, की जसे ये पुन्हा गारवा
Saath de tu mala, saath de tu mala
साथ दे तु मला, साथ दे तु मला
Saath de tu mala, saath de tu mala
साथ दे तु मला, साथ दे तु मला
Ka tujhyasaathich mann he yet jaate saarakhe,

Ann punha tujhyavina he, jinkuni hi haarate,
अन् पुन्हा तुझ्याविना हे जिंकूनी ही हारते
Prem he paakharu, paratuni ki jase saanjveli ye ghara.
प्रेम हे पाखरू परतुनी की जसे सांजवेळी ये घरा
Saath de tu mala, saath de tu mala
साथ दे तु मला, साथ दे तु मला
Saath de tu mala, saath de tu mala
साथ दे तु मला, साथ दे तु मला

‘Tu Hi Re’ launched with song recording
Known for presenting intense love stories through his films like ‘Duniyadari’ and ‘Pyar Wali Love Story’, cinematographer turned director Sanjay Jadhav has now launched his next film ‘Tu Hi Re’ with a recording of song, at Aajivasan studios. The romantic song was recorded in the voice of singer Aadarsh Shinde. Not much is known about the film’s story, but surely it is a romantic love story.
Starring popular stars Swapnil Joshi, Sai Tamhankar & Tejaswini Pandit in lead roles, the film’s music is composed by Amitraj and Pankaj Padgham on the lyrics of Guru Thakur. Manaswini Lata Ravindra has penned the story of this film, which is being made jointly under the banners of Karan Entertainment, Indian Film Studio and Dreaming 24/7. They have planned to release this film in September 2015.
‘Mitwaa’ – an intense love story with good music
Rating: ★★★
Genres: Romantic Censor: U Duration: 130 min. Studio/presenter: Minakshi Sagar Production, Video Palace Producer(s): Minakshi Sagar, Amrut Sagar, Akash Chopra Director: Swapna Waghmare-Joshi Writer: Shirish Latkar Lyrics: Ashwini Shende, Mandar Cholkar, Mangesh Kangne Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Pankaj Padgan, AmitRaj, Nilesh Moharir Cinematographer (DOP): Prasad Bhende Cast: Swapnil Joshi, Sonalee Kullkarni, Prarthana Behere, Ila Bhate, Aruna Irani Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke |
Presenting good music with a tragic love story, has always been the tradition of Bollywood films since 70s and 80s. So, don’t be surprised, if someone is inspired by them, while making a Marathi film today. New Marathi film ‘Mitwaa’directed by Swapna Waghmare-Joshi, also goes on the lines of few bollywood films of 80s and 90s. But, barring this, the film counts on good music, excellent performances and superior technical support.
The story of ‘Mitwaa’ is set on the backdrop of Goa and revolves around three main characters , Shivam ( Swwapanil Joshi), Awnee (Prarthana Behere) and Nandini (Sonalee Kulkarni). So, in the beginning of the film, we notice Shivam nearing 40, trying to convince his little daughter, for arriving home late. A successful businessman, he has had a past, full of fun, romancing with different girls. But, as we see him meeting his good old friend Awnee, who manages his business affairs, he narrates her his intense love story with Nandini (Sonalee Kulkarni) .
As we are taken into flashback, we notice a flamboyant lifestyle of Shivam, the young businessman and owner of a big resort. Awnee being his close friend, manages his business, besides looking after all his needs, like a good friend. She also loves Shivam through her heart; but unlike typical girlfriends, is never jealous of Shivam’s affairs with other girls. Nandini, who walks into Shivam’s company, she is the first girl, who does not give much importance to Shivam, besides doing her job with sincerity. Shivam , who falls in love with Nandini at first sight, finally expresses his love to Nandini in a style. But, Nandini who has her own mystery filled past, refuses to marry Shivam. After this event, we notice many dramatic developments in the film’s story.
‘Mitwa’ is not the kind of film, with predictable end. It has a substance, which director Swapna Waghmare-Joshi has used well, to make it more emotion filled; but in the process, she has made it little complicated. The character played by Nandini is no doubt a mysterious character, as per the requirement of story; but on few occasions, she is shown in double mind. An intense love scene between Shivam and Nandini in the lobby of the resort, says it all. Actually, Shivam kisses Nandini in a prolonged scene, in presence of other people waiting and watching in the corridor and Awnee, who is witness to this scene, asking the people to mind their own business. But then, why does Nandini try to keep Shivam away? And, this secret is revealed later.
There are few other lapses in this film. The Goan lady’s character played by Aruna Irani, neither speaks Konkani nor Marathi well. Also, don’t exactly know, the reason for using the premises of an Eye Care Hospital in the film, when we see a patient in Coma. Was it only, because they were co sponsors of this film? Another co sponsor, 9x Jhakas have also used their slide, flashing frequently, during one song cum dance sequence in the film. By the way, the director has made good use of all the other finalists from the Lux 9x Jhakaas talent contest, through small character roles in the film’s pre interval stage. It may be recalled that Prarthana’s selection was made through this talent contest.
Swwapnil Joshi is the real star in this film. He captures all the attention, with his flamboyant as well as emotion filled image. He has also done well, in some intense romantic scenes. Sonalee Kulkarni, does well to present a confused, yet duty bound woman very well. Her character itself is mysterious, in the film, which has generated some interest in the screenplay. Prarthana Behere gives a big surprise, with her confident looking portrayal of Awnee, a matured and composed woman. She looks very glamorous, in this film. She will surely have more fan flowing, after this film. There is less scope for the character of Ashwin Desai played by Sangram Samel in this film. But, without his presence, the film’s story is not complete. Good support comes from Ila Bhate and others.
The film has support of good music. Two songs in this film have been picturised very well. They remain on your lips, even after leaving the cinema hall. The picturesque locations of Goa and wonderful cinematography by Prasad Bhende, add beauty to the film. In fact, the film has a lot of resemblance to 1983 Bollywood film ‘Agar Tum Na Hote’. Similarity is also observed in one of the female characters, who is also brought up in an orphanage.
‘Mitwaa’ produced by Meenakshi Sagar, Amrit Sagar, Akash Chopra and presented by Nanubhai Jaisinghani, is likely to catch up female audience, besides targeting youngsters. Loving couples shouldn’t miss it, on the occasion of Valentines’ Day.

‘Pyar Vali Love Story’ turns ‘A 1992 Love Story’
Rating: ★★ ½
Studio / Presenter: Dreaming TwentyFour Seven, Cinema Company India and STV Producers: Inder Raj Kapoor, Rekha Jayant Joshi, Deepak Pandurang Rane Director: Sanjay Jadhav Writer: Sanjay Jadhav DOP: Prasad Bhende Music Director: Amitraj, Pankaj Padghan, Samir Saptiskar Cast: Swapnil Joshi, Sai Tamhankar, Urmila Kanetkar-Kothare, Upendra Limye, Sameer Dharmadhikari, Chinmay Mandlekar Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke |
Few years ago we saw a Hindi movie ‘1942 A Love Story’, wherein we witnessed an impressive musical love story, taking place in the midst of India’s fight for independence. Similarly, in the latest released new Marathi film ‘Pyar Vali Love Story’ , produced by Inder Raj Kapoor, Rekha Jayant Joshi, Deepak Pandurang Rane, we find a musical love story, which is set on the backdrop of 1992 communal riots in Mumbai.
The film takes you on the sets of two ‘chawls’ supposed to be located somewhere in Mumbai. Both these chawls are shown adjacent to each other, one having Hindu and the other having Muslim inhabitants. Aalia (Sai Tamhankar), stays with her parents (Ila Bhate, Nagesh Bhosale) and her brother Kaderbhai (Upendra Limaye), who indulges in street fights at a slightest provocation. But, he always has the strong support of his die hard Hindu friend ‘Pashya’ (Sameer Dharmadhikari). Then there’s a foul mouthed, but still lovable, Nandini (Urmila Kanetkar-Kothare), who is in love with Pashyabhai , and wants to marry him. Kaderbhai, who treats her as his sister, supports her. And soon we see the marriage of Pashyabhai and Nandini taking place.
Amar, (Swapnil Joshi), Pashya’s younger brother, who comes down to Mumbai for the wedding , coincidentally meets his love interest, Aalia, and it is love at first sight for him. Just when romance is budding between them, we notice a twist. Aalia’s father (a police constable) fixes her ‘Nikaah’ with his boss, police inspector, Alam, (Chinmay Mandlekar), who accidentally gets killed on the ‘Nikaah’ day. Kaderbhai suspects, it as a deliberate act by Amar, as he is aware of Amar’s affair with his sister.
Kaderbhai vows to take revenge, which necessitates enmity with his best friend Pashya. In the meantime, Amar and Aliya run away from this riot affected place and take shelter elsewhere. And that widens the enmity between kaderbhai and Pashyabhai. Finally, all of them assemble at one place for the concluding dramatic scene of the film.
The story by Sanjay Jadhav is simple, with a clear intention of presenting intense love story. The Screenplay of the film sometimes gets wobbly, but dialogues are noticeably brilliant at some points. Most of the dialogues are in Hindi, without hampering the process of story telling. Violin pieces used in the background music try to generate romantic atmosphere. The music director trio AmitRaj, Pankaj Padgham, Samir Saptiskar, have tried to make this film more musical; but, only one song ‘Jara jara..’ is impressive. Cinematographer Prasad Bhende has cleverly captured the essence of the 90s. Art direction of Manohar Jadhav is not so impressive, as the sets of the film look average and artificial.
Director Sanjay Jadhav has given a treatment to this film, like any other Hindi commercial movie ,by packing romance, drama, emotions, comedy, fights, song and dance routines, all together. Ila Bhate, Nagesh Bhosale, Chinmay Mandlekar, Sameer Dharmadhikari, have done their jobs effectively. Upendra Limaye should have toned down his facial tissue movements. Urmila Kanetkar-Kothare has turned a scene stealer in the first half. Sai Tamhankar has an exhilarating screen presence and with each film she is turning out to be a still better performer. Swapnil Joshi can easily be called Shahrukh Khan of Marathi films, given the number of romantic films he is featuring in. He has done a swell job using the right amount of emotions.
