Did you know that Vikram Gokhale, Mohan Joshi, Laxmikant Berde, Dilip Prabhavalkar, Sandeep Kulkarni, Sharad Ponkshe, Sameer Dharmadhikari, Atul Parchure and Neena Kulkarni, Ila Bhate had performed together in a Marathi film ? This was revealed by Maiboli channel, when they telecast this film last Sunday. It was a good film, on the backdrop of 1993 bomb blasts by terrorists and riots happening in Mumbai, thereafter.
The film showed how the terrorist group demanded the release of one of their leaders arrested by Mumbai Police, by kidnapping the son of the Minister. It was an action packed film, almost going on the lines of any big banner Bollywood film, with all the renowned talented Marathi artistes performing together . It gave an impression that the film was held up for release, due to sudden demise of Laxmikant Berde. But, watching this film on television, was a pleasure, as it was a rare Marathi multi starrer film. Otherwise, we don’t have much choice to watch Marathi films, which are repeated several times.
Last week, we also saw the artistes of a new Marathi film invited as guests in the programme ‘Comedy Chi Bullet Train’ on Colors channel. It was probably, part of their film’s promotion. If it is so, we have another programme to promote upcoming Marathi films. By the way, Zee Marathi’s programme ‘Chala Hava Yeu Dya’ went for a change, last week, when we found them paying tributes to social activist late Narendra Dabholkar, whose second death anniversary coincided on that particular day.
Late Dabholkar’s daughter and son were present during this programme and the their team and regular artistes of this programme, presented skits to remind the administration that the killers of the renowned social activist were still not arrested. The programme created awareness about the fight against superstition. The volunteers of ANiS through their touching performance, indicated that their movement against superstition had gained more strength now.
Do you notice some similarity with the characters of Sharayu and kamla from ‘Kamla’ serial with Mhalsa and Banu in ‘Jai Malhar’? The similarities observed are, the first wife is from a well to do urbanite family and the second one from a rural background. The first one is very possessive about her husband, while the second one is submissive. Their respective husbands have to do balancing act, for making both wives happy.
