Often considered Maharashtra’s greatest gift to cinema, Sant Tukaram was made in 1936, under the Prabhat Film Studios banner. Directed by Vishnupant Damle and Sheikh Fattelal (the lesser known of the Prabhat owners; the popular one being V. Shantaram; S. Kulkarni, the fourth owner, handled the finances), Sant Tukaram was India’s first film to recei...
While I can think of a few other films I would rank above this, this one needs to be watched for the significance of what it portrays. Harishchandrachi Factory is the tale of how a certain no one called Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, rose out of nothing and nowhere, to become the father of Indian cinema. All on the back of sheer passion and determination...
Written by Sane Guruji and based on a simple but emotional mother-son plot, Shyamchi Aai, may seem dated, even impractical, in today’s time. But viewed within its environment, Shyamchi Aai is a classic that needs to be devoured by every child and parent, by every idealist, and by every cinema buff for its dramatic moments.
Post its heady years of 30s to 50s, Marathi cinema saw a lull in the late 50s and then in the 60s with an occasional name breaking through. Wanting to experiment, but stuck inside dated parameters, Marathi cinema found its torch bearer in V. Shantaram’s Pinjra. The biggest box office success of its times, the first color Marathi film, and the first...
A classic rich vs poor angle weaved in a suspense plot. Saamna is no doubt a very well-made film, but the film’s truly cherish-able element is the monomachy of histrionics between two of Marathi cinema’s greatest performers - Dr. Shreeram Lagoo and Nilu Phule.
An intense yet endearing story of a mentally disabled boy, his struggle to find acceptance in the society, and how those around him love and help him through it. It is Dilip Prabhavalkar’s ability to keep the character from becoming a caricature that makes you root for Nandu to fight through life and come out a winner.
Based on Shanta Nisal’s Beghar, Umbartha was sharp and unsparing for its time. The fact that it is a man’s world and women are but mere servants or objects is an accepted norm, and how Smita Patil’s Savitri breaks through those unfair boundaries and shackles, makes for engaging viewing. Aside from being an intensely arresting film, Umbartha is pecu...
Handling such complex themes as love, lust, ambitions, casteism … all at once, Jabbar Patel weaves a web for you to walk into. A reflection of the Thakar tribal caste and particularly the story of Nagya and Chindi, Jait Re Jait is a brave film headlined by brilliant performances by Mohan Agashe and Smita Patil. The film’s soundtrack still remains o...
Sinhasan holds relevance today as much as it did 10 years ago or 20 years ago, or back in 1979. Treating the politics-crime nexus as an unbeatable evil, Sinhasan juggles power, politics, corruption, ethics, greed, ambitions, etc. with much relish. With Sinhasan, Jabbar Patel creates a political drama that is entertaining and appalling at once.
Another Jabbar Patel classic. Produced by NFDC, this one takes Lakshmikant Berde away from his much loved stereotype of a lovable buffoon, and puts him in the midst of a dramatic ballyhoo. As the tamashgir turned film star, Berde portrays a likable but vulnerable Aburao, who allows everyone from friends to colleagues to politicians, and eventually ...
