Maharashtra, which is known as the land of saints, has witnessed miracles performed by these saints since 12th century. Some of them were disciples of Lord Vitthala, which enabled them to perform miracles. Today, we still find devotees of these saints and prominent among them is Tukoba alias Saint Tukaram. At present, we are watching a serial ‘Tu Majha Sangati’, on Colors Marathi channel; which is a biography of Tukaram. And, this serial has attracted a good viewership.
Till now, we saw the happenings in the family life of Tukoba; but now, the stage has come to see Tukoba turning into Saint Tukaram, because of villagers witnessing his miracles. So, for the first time on small screen the viewers had an opportunity to witness an ordinary family person like Tukoba achieving the status of a saint.
It is understood that actor Chinmay Mandlekar, who had earlier played a negative type of role through his previous serial, has now won the hearts of millions of viewers across Maharashtra, while performing the character of Tukoba, in this serial. Recently, we saw him chanting the name of Lord Vitthala, continuously. Chinmay himself is reported to have said, that he has himself attained peace of mind in the process, which is so necessary in today’s busy lifestyle. ‘Tu Majha Sangati’, which is a period serial, is telecast from Monday to Saturday at 7.30 pmon Colors channel.
In the past, we had seen the promotion of forthcoming Marathi films taking place in reality comedy shows on television. But, in the recent past, we noticed the stars of these films also making a guest appearance, to openly promote their films. And, that really looks funny, as the ongoing story of the serial deviates. Now, we understand that Swapnil Joshi is entering Zee Marathi’s serial ‘Dil Dosti Duniyadari’ for few episodes, playing an actor himself. So, let us wait and see, whether he is sincerely making a guest appearance or is coming to promote his forthcoming film ? Sometimes, well known artistes have to remain in limelight, through such guest appearances or modelling assignments, if there is time for their next film.
In ‘Majhe Mann Tujhe Jhale’ serial on Colors channel, we did see Shekhar and Shubhra exposing the business of Bapuji and getting him arrested. But, that is not enough; as we saw this Bapuji stating that he would come back, because of his plenty of supporters. But, we have always seen only few supporters on screen so far. May be in forthcoming episodes, we will get to see a big mob, demanding his release. Because, there is nothing more left in this serial now. Is it concluding with a happy end ?
