‘Tuhya Dharma Koncha?’- focuses on dilemma of Tribals

Rating: ★★★ ½
Producer: Abhay Gadgil, Shrirang Godbole, Mohan Damle Director: Satish Manwar Music: Dattaprasad Ranade Cinematography: Parixit Warrier Cast: Upendra Limaye, Vibhavari Deshpande, Kishore Kadam, Suhas Palshikar, Suhas Shirsat, Gauri Konge, Ramesh Medhekar, Shashank Shende Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke |
God has no religion and therefore changing the God to offer prayers, does not change your religion. Latest released Marathi film ‘Tuhya Dharma Koncha?'(What is your religion?) tries to explain how poverty forces a poor family towards conversion to another religion and later goes on to show how the family has to face the ire from their own community. In fact, director Satish Manwar ( Gabhricha Paus fame) tries to explain the dilemma of tribals, who fall easy prey to opportunists and fanatics.
Set on the backdrop of a tiger sanctuary in Northern Maharashtra, the film revolves around a tribal family of Kavadu (Upendra Limaye) who lives in a small tribal colony with his wife Bhulabai (Vibhavari Deshpande) a small kid and a new born baby. One day, Kavadu is falsely implicated and put under trial for killing a tiger. In the absence of the bread earner in the family, Bhulabai becomes helpless when her new born baby needs immediate medical attention. She does visit the municipal dispensary at a nearby village; but can’t afford the costly food supplements prescribed. Later, when the child is seriously ill, on the suggestion of a lady from her tribe; she takes her son to a Father of a Christian missionary, who is a doctor. Indebted by the kind hearted Father and the Nun from the missionary, who offer her free treatment and food for her kid; Bhulabai regularly attends the mass at the church. She also gets converted into Christianity, only to face ire of local tribal community. Finally, Kavadu is declared innocent, as the real culprits are arrested. But, the a group of Hindu fanatics force Kavadu and few others from the village to get reconverted into Hinduism. Finally, Kavadu and his wife understand who their real God is, as they embrace a traditional tree in the last scene, to show their faith in Nature God.
The film does deal with a sensitive issue with utmost care, without hurting the sentiments of any religion. When the Father of the church (Kishore Kadam) tells the Nun (Sneha Majgaonkar) that he was not interested in keeping the count of number of conversions; but, would be happy to find even one such true devotee of his religion; it makes his selfless service very clear. At the same time, a Hindu priest, who is spreading the importance of his religion and showing his opposition to conversions; is himself shown against violence. It is only few of his devotees, lock him up and get involved into violent activities. As a result of their aggression, the poor tribal community is in a dilemma. The director has also shown the Naxalite movement in this region; and the reason for their taking up the arms. But, in the film’s screenplay, the director has shown them neutral, in the religious uproar. There is one possibility that some of the portion must have undergone cuts at the Censor’s table.
Director Satish Manwar has however presented his subject in a realistic manner. He has used the ahirani language very well throughout the film, which is a tribute to Bahinabai Chaudhary, whose all original poems were in this language. Cinematography by Parixit Warrier is simply superb. So is the suitable music score by Dattaprasad Ranade and background score by Augustine Samuel and the wonderful flute played by Navin Iyer from South. In the role of Kavadu, Upendra Limaye has given one more fabulous performance after ‘Jogwa’. Vibhavari Deshpande has supported him well, as a helpless wife. She has expressed herself very well at every situation through her eyes. In the role of Father of the church, Kishore Kadam is at his best. The dialogues are apt to every situation. The film does throw light on the existing situation in tribal region and shows how the Government’s apathy, enables external forces to exploit their poverty.

Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke |
In the year 2007 Dr. Vivek Bele’s Marathi comedy play ‘Makadachya Hati Champagne’ directed by Girish Joshi won many popular awards for the best Marathi play. Now, Shekhar Kulkarni and Ajit Bhure have made a Marathi film, based on this popular play. Director Satish Rajwade has tried his best to present it in a cinematic form, using all his expertise. He has however retained the original story and the popular dialogues, instead of attempting something new.The film begins almost in the style of a play, when one of the three friends (Upendra Limaye) who runs his motor garage, summons his other two friends (Anand Ingale & Pushkar Shrotri) back home, only to give them a surprise; by inviting his new girlfriend home. One of them, who is a media person, rushes home from an important assignment, by handing over the responsibility to his subordinate and the other one, who is a college professor rushes home, by asking his colleague to take the class .
Anand Ingale, Photo
The three friends have been living a bachelors’ life together in a bungalow and hence the arrival of a girl at their place, that too on an invitation of their close friend, is certainly a surprise for the remaining two friends. In comes Mukta Barve, wearing a mod dress and she impresses the other two friends. Then begins the introduction part, when she finds that all three of them are known with their pet names. But, she enjoys the humor in their names – Chaku (Upendra), Makad (Anand) and Pustak (Pushkar) respectively. So, she decides to introduce herself with her new name Pencil.
After Chaku leaves with Pencil, the other two friends have a common reason to pass comments at Chaku, suggesting that Chaku is not an ideal match for Pencil. According to them, she needed someone, who was well educated and sensible, as her life partner. When Chaku decides to celebrate the evening with a Champagne, the other two try to find out whether the girl really loved Chaku. When they find that nothing had progressed from marriage point of view, Pustak also stakes his claim for Pencil. When the situation goes out of control between Chaku and Pustak, Makad intervenes and suggests a way out. So, Chaku is given an option to propose Pencil first; so that Pustak could also make an attempt after him.
The film drags a bit with this limited content, till interval; when you find Pencil selecting Pustak as her life partner. But, their coming together, is not seen in good spirit by Makad, who uses all his manipulative overtures to instigate Chaku with his political mind. On his advice, Chaku becomes hopeful of winning the heart of Pencil back. Makad does succeed in splitting the couple; but, the climax is for a surprise.
Mukta Barve, Anand IngaleThe happenings in the life of three friends and the girl in their life, has successfully matched with the happenings at Political front, by showing the power game between two politicians (Vinay Apte and Deepak Karanjikar). The girl is compared with the public opinion, when it is noticed that the two rivals in a political party break up and later decide to join hands. The story does have something to convey to the audience; but it remains to be seen, how the movie audience would accept the same.
There isn’t much scope for music, but the background music is impressive. Director Satish rajwade has done a good job. But, he could have attempted something more. He hasn’t taken maximum liberties, as required in the cinematic format and has only tried to move with the original format. Only at two places, he used the effects well. It was to show the imagination of Chaku and the media clippings of the games played by two politicians in between the clashes among the friends. Don’t expect start to finish laughter in this film. As, it is an intelligent film, not deviating from the subject. Performances by all the artistes are good. There is equal scope for all four of them. Dr. Mohan Agashe and Sudhir Gadgil play news anchors and host of a TV channel, respectively. ‘Badam Rani Gulaam Chor’ is the kind of film for those who understand sensible cinema.
‘Chirgut’ revolts against the corrupt system

Corruption is spreading like a cancer in the society and the main victims are the laborers and the neglected class, who live in the slums. Today, under the name of ‘Slum Rehabilitation Projects’ the builders with the help of local leaders, are exploiting the slum dwellers. The latest Marathi film ‘Chirgut’, (which means a worn out cloth piece) has been shot on the backdrop of a real existing slum off. Mumbai, where you find the concentration of people belonging to the most neglected community including Eunuch and prostitutes. The hero of this film Nagya (Upendra Limaye) an orphan, has been brought up by one such Eunuch (Ajit Bhagat).
The film has a hard hitting subject with Nagya educating the people from his slum colony, about their rights. He also dares to challenge the local MLA, when the latter approaches him with an offer. Watching Nagya’s stand against the corrupt system, Jahnavi ( Siya Patil) a student of Sociology from a Management Institute, is highly impressed. She talks to her close friend and project partner Vijya (Chinmay Mandlekar) about Nagya’s mission; but, he discourages her, saying that he had closely observed Nagya since his college days and that he would not be able to carry forward his fight. But, Jahnavi takes her own decision and leaves her college project to join Nagya’s movement. She is also joined by other two friends. Finally, when Vijya realizes that his professor is also working on the directions of the Government, he too joins their group.
Their movement spreads to other parts of Maharashtra, where people exploited by politicians and builders unite under their leadership. As a result of this, the chief Minister, a look alike of the present chief Minister of Maharashtra, orders inquiry against
some of his team members and bows down before the demand of the revolutionaries. The film has hard hitting dialogues by Sanjay Pawar and Dilip Jagtap, to create the conflict between Policy makers and slum dwellers.
The film did possess the content to expose the system, but it failed in the concluding part. The reason for which Nagya opens his fight, i.e. to hand over the rights to the people actually leaving in the slums, to develop their area; does not produce desired results in the end. It would have been better, if the director had concluded the film, showing the Slum rehabilitation rights given to Nagya and his associates. It would have sent a strong message to our policy makers and selfish politicians, who play hand n glove game with builders.
The film has clearly shown the MLA of ruling party and the opposition leader coming together, fearing about the sudden rise of such third front led by Nagya. In fact, the film has been targeted at such underprivileged people living in slums, reminding them about their rights. It also inspires them to form their own front, to seek their privileges. National award winning actor Upendra Limaye has given his best in the role of Nagya, which is almost a one man show. In the supporting cast Chinmay Mandlekar and Siya Patil find few scenes to make their presence felt. Other artistes like Madhav Abhyankar as the Professor, Dr. Sharad Bhutadia as opposition leader, Ajit Bhagat as Eunuch and Pramod Shinde as chief Minister have done well. Pradeep Ghonsikar’s direction is good in some of the important scenes but in the climax, he fails to create that desired impact, as the last scene has been dragged with the speech of Nagya. However, the sincere effort of the director to present this social issue in a cinematic format, is to be appreciated.

The film which has been creating waves at various film festivals in India and abroad, has been welcomed in Maharashtra on the first day of its release. Its universal theme is not only appealing but also touching the hearts of those who admire self-sacrificing service to the society.What more can one say about a film, which got standing ovation after its screening at the National theatre, London ? In fact, this film had a three show premiere at this festival recently. “Mee Sindutai Sapkal (मी सिंधुताई सपकाळ)” based on the autobiography of well-known social worker Sindhutai Sapkal, is a biopic directed by Anant Narayan Mahadevan, a Journalist turned Bollywoood actor and film maker.
The film’s story begins with present times, with Ms. Sindhutai Sapkal traveling for the first time by an airplane on her way to US on an invitation from a Maharashtra Sahitya Mandal based there. Sitting next to her as a co -passenger on the long journey is the director of the film. During the first half of the film, Ms. Sindhutai recollects her past with strange experiences with every small moment during the journey, while in the second half, she narrates her fight for survival, while addressing the elite audience in US.
“Mee Sindhutai Sapkal” is a sensible film, strictly following the worst incidences in the life of the noble social worker and at the same time highlights her fight for survival. There is a lot to learn from this biopic, especially at a time when we all are living in a materialistic world. Here is an example of a woman, who has seen the worst poverty, yet feeds the other deserted children out of what she has gathered for her own child. It also reminds one and all about the sacrifice a mother has to make when she lifts the responsibility of all the deserted children around, as if they were her own children.
Very efficiently the director has captured every delicate moment in this film, that relates to the actual happenings in the life of the selfless social worker. The well structured Tejaswini Pandit, Sindhutai Sapkal dialogues strike timely in that well presented screenplay. Watch that mother and daughter relationship during the childhood of Sindhutai, when she is known as Chindhi . The father visiting his daughter’s place after her marriage and admitting the guilt of not offering her further education and the husband returning to Sindhutai, during old age, realising his mistake. They are all master pieces.
The film clearly hits out at the exploitation of women in the male dominant society, especially in the rural sector. “Education, is the key to progress,’ is all that the film goes on to say. No matter, you have limited education, but making an effort to see that other deserving get the same at the most appropriate time in their life, is the biggest need of the society. And, you need strong mothers like Sindhutai. Well suited music to every situation and good cinematography gives a more respectable look to the film.
It is for the first time that Mother and daughter combination of Jyoti Chandekar and Tejaswini Pandit have played the role of older and younger Sindhutai and it gave an impression that both of them had totally devoted themselves to this character. Upendra Limaye asyoung Sindhutai’s husband is very special and so is Suhas Palshikar, who plays her father. Neena Kulkarni in her small but effective role does a good job. Rest of the cast has supported well. The film will certainly take Marathi cinema to a greater heights.
Ananth Mahadevan to make a film on Sindhutai Sapkal
Sindhutai Sapkal, well known social worker from Maharashtra has done a commendable job by offering shelter to hundreds of homeless children and providing them food twice a day. No wonder she has been conferred with 170 awards so far, for her selfless service to the society. Having herself experienced the worst treatment from husband and her society, for giving birth to a girl child, Sindhutai literally faced the circumstances with hard work. So impressed was Mr. Ananth Mahadevan, the Bollywood actor and director with her contribution to the society that he decided to make a marathi film on her life.
The time being right for the realistic marathi cinema, Mr. Mahadevan has already started his work on this ambitious project using Sindhutai’s own autobiography as the main source for his film’s script. The screenplay will present the happenings that have occurred in last 50 years of her life with more emphasis on stunning events like having to abandon the education on account of her marriage, warming herself near a burning funeral pyre while being frozen during a cold wave, and feeding herself on the holy rice kept near the dead body. In the later half, the story of her life soars to a commendable honour of being able to express herself from the dais of an international forum in America, which can also be seen in this film. Given the fact that the central theme of the film being so full of appeal, it is expected to appeal international audience.
Upendra & his film ‘Jogwa’ rock at national awards
Marathi film ‘Jogwa’ has been adjudged as the best social film in the 56th National awards announced for the year 2008. In all, ‘Jogwa’ has won five national wards, with the other two for the best actor (male) won by Upendra Limaye and best music for this film by Ajay -Atul.

‘Jogwa’ comes out strong against superstition

Rating: 4/5
Presenter: IDream Productions Pvt. Ltd Producer: Shripal Morakhia Director: Rajiv Patil Screen Play: Sanjay Patil Music: Ajay Atul Cast: Upendra Limaye, Mukta Barve, Vinay Apte, Amita Khpkar, Kishor Kadam, Sharvari Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke |
Television and Cell phones have reached most of the villages in India. We talk about reforms but superstition still exits in many villages. The so called society, which treats the Jogtas and Jogtins as children of Goddess, go to the extent of exploiting them with inhuman treatment by branding them as Eunuchs and prostitutes. The latest marathi film ‘Jogwa’ goes on to show the naked truth in such a society in an effective manner. Director Rajiv Patil ( ‘Savarkhed Ek Gaon’ & ‘Sanai Choughade’fame ) takes up this burning issue, which still persists in few villages in India.
Set on the backdrop of a village in Karnataka, where Goddess Yelamma’s strong influence leads to interpretation by some money minded people to exploit the villagers in the name of superstition. In fact, the influence of the Goddess is just a metaphor, to show how the villagers are made to believe in old rituals to cure from an ailment or minor disorder. In the case of young girl Suli( Mukta Barve) , her mother faces a knot while combing her daughter’s hair and considering it as a serious issue, Suli is taken to Akkubai( Amita Khopkar) who is an interpreter. With her team of Jogtins and Jogtas she forces the family to offer their daughter to serve the Goddess. At the same time a youngster– Tayappa( Upendra Limaye) is brought by his father( Vinay Apte) to the same place, as he has been passing blood through urine. Tayappa is forced to become a Jogta, much against his wish.
Soon Tayappa gets adapted to the lifestyle of Jogta and he sings in the name of the Goddess and earns for his living. Suli learns to dance to please the Goddess. She falls in love with a stranger, who comes to village for his earnings. She flirts with him; but when it comes to contract marriage to support her; he runs away. Tayappa loves Suli from his heart, but he cannot express his love. Finally, both the victims come together for common cause. They revolt against their society and the film conveys a clear message of fight against superstition.
‘Jogwa’ is well presented with superb photography, perfect locations, good editing work and well suited music score. The film has appropriate artistes placed at the right spot. There is also a teacher who is educating the villagers to stay away from wrong practices. “ I am not against worshipping the Goddess, but the interpretation of offerings to Goddess is wrong. The Government wants to rehabilitate all Jogtas and Jogtins, through reforms,” he pleads. His repeated appeal only helps two sensible youngsters to revolt against the existing practice. But, one fails to understand as to why the two lovers, don’t approach the teacher-cum-social worker to come out of the trap. Why they had to go and challenge their own people in the open? But, then, without melodrama, there cannot be a cinema.
In all, ‘Jogwa’ is a very sensible film and a worth watch for all those freedom loving youngsters living in city; so that they understand the plight of their counterparts living in villages , who are subjected to atrocities by their own people in the name of superstition. Both Upendra and Mukta have come out with wonderful performances. Their hot love scenes have been captured well. Among the other performers, Kishore Kadam, Vinay Apte and Shravani Pillay are impressive. Music by Ajay-Atul is good.
‘MADE IN CHINA’ REVIEW

Movie: Made in China Director: Santosh Kolhe Producer: Kamal Khetan, Santosh Kolhe Presenter: Elixir Logical Thinkers Movies Pvt. Ltd. Music: Milind Joshi Cast: Sharad Bhutadiya, Upendra Limaye, Sandeep Kulkarni, Milind Gunaji, Madhura welankar, Mrunal Kulkarni Movie Review by: Sourabh Karnik |
There was already enough curiosity about Santosh Kolhe’s latest movie- ‘Made In China.’ The film is based upon controversial topic SEZ. It is no more a new concept for us. We are witnessed of disaster at Singur. We are part of society where localites of Raigad district are fighting against Reliance’s SEZ. Everybody is discussing whether it’s a boom or bam? Made in China covers all social, political, and cultural and many more aspects of SEZ and delivers a neutral view about SEZ. Though the subject suits to a documentary rather than film and director Santosh Kolhe is well known documentary maker, it is a complete bundle of all commercial aspect and that is the real success of movie. It is a complete socio-political movie.
The movie starts in a small village of Pimpalgaon where Appasaheb Jagdale (Sharad Bhutadiya) is quiet determine
to establish a special economic zone. His political rival Kailas Shinde (Upendra Limaye) and nephew Mohit (Sandeep Kulkarni) are not agree with his decision where as his daughter Parachi (Madhura Welankar) and other nephew (Milind Gunaji) are in favor of SEZ. Mohit has learned modern agricultural techniques from Israel and devoted lots of efforts for agricultural development of the region. It is hard for him to destroy his land for the sake of SEZ Appasaheb uses his political contacts and powers to break the movement of Mohit and Kailas. During this process Appasaheb was killed brutally. Further film moves around the trace of murderer and future of SEZ.
The film has got huge starcast. Sharad Bhutadiya, Sandeep Kulkarni, Madhura welankar, Milind Gunaji, Upendra Limaye, Mrunal Kulkarni all are the well known actors and quiet persistant about their performance. A special character has been given to every actor and it is nicely presented by all the actors. Mohit- presented by Sandeep Kulkarni is simply amazing. He has own group of fans and he not at all disappointed them. His accent, expressions, and body language everything is great. He had actually covered all the different shades of character. It is nice to see another fascinating role of Sandeep after ‘Dombivali Fast.’ Since last few years Madhura Welankar is consistently delivering good performance and this movie is not exception to it. A daughter of enfluensive politician and queen of Appasaheb’s Political kingdom, her appearance suits perfectly. Milind Gunaji and Upendra Limaye are good as usual. Mrunal Kulkarni’s presence can be remembered easily despite her short role.
Santosh Kolhe has done great work as a director. He was involved from script writing till post production and that is the reason behind perfect synchronization. He had worked with some of the most popular Hindi serials like ‘Kusum’, ‘Kyonki Saans Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ and he has utilized his experience very nicely. The story covers different aspects like changing villages, modern agricultural techniques, media, politics and still it doesn’t distract viewers. Despite the social subject, movie never sacrifices with any of the commercial movie. Dhananjay Kulkarni has performed very well behind the Camera.
The whole movie has feel of a rural village and credit must be given to him. Sachin Natekar has done fabulous work as an editor and movie would have not been made so perfectly without his efforts.
The best thing about movie is it connects the viewers efficiently. Though story moves around rural background, here farmers are not like the old Marathi movies. It has adequately covered changing scenario of Indian villages. We can feel that these characters can be existing around us. That is why I have n doubt in my mind that the movie is going to attract eyeballs and going to another good Marathi Movie.
