Like the T-20 Cricket format scored over One day and Test Cricket, our Marathi short films are getting more attention compared to Marathi web films and feature films. Many sensible Marathi short films with 5 minutes to 30 minutes duration are receiving good response from the social media viewers.
One such Marathi short film ‘Naav Kaay Tuza’ produced by Sandeep and Dhanashree Kulkarni and directed by Bansidhar Kinkar, with little more than 30 minutes duration, can be viewed on youtube. Starring Umesh Kamat, Neha Naik and others, this film revolves around a young girl Manasi Prabhu ( Neha Naik) who after completing her graduation in Computer Engineering comes to Pune from Karad, with a big hope of getting a job in IT park. But, she is not able to find a job without reference or recommendation. Her father who is unable to spend on her expenses, suggests her to return to Karad, in next few days.

When disappointed Manasi is getting ready to return to her native place, life takes a new turn in her life and she finds a chance to visit an IT company, where she interacts with the company Boss (Umesh Kamat), who is in a dilemma over prioritizing ethics over business advantage. What happens next is an interesting situation, which the director has cleverly presented through an appealing screenplay.
Considering his past short films like ‘Shambharava Sthal’ and ‘Ravivaar Sakal’, Bansidhar Kinkar, has done a remarkable job as a director in this short film. He finds good support with best performances from all the artistes. Neha Naik in particular, has done very well.
Certainly a worth watch film.
