Vahinichi Maya (1985)

Rajesh studies in a medical college and lives a middle-class life with his elder, crippled brother, Yogesh, his Bhabhi, Madhavi, who is a devotee of Bhagwan Shri Sai Baba, and a trusted servant, Ramu. Yogesh is employed as an Accountant and continues to work despite of his disability so that Rajesh could become a doctor and fulfill his dreams. Madhavi gets pregnant but due to an internal womb injury is unable and will never conceive. Then after passing his exams, Rajesh gets married to his wealthy sweetheart, Priya Deshmukh, much to the displeasure of her mom, as she would have liked her to get married to someone really wealthy. Her efforts to get Rajesh to come and live in their spacious bungalow, and open his own dispensary are all in vain. But she does get some new furniture for Priya, which does not auger well with Madhavi and Yogesh. Yogesh quits his job on Rajesh' and Priya's insistence. When Priya gets pregnant, Ramu informs Rajesh that Madhavi has stolen Priya's gold ear-rings. Rajesh does not believe this, but when Madhavi poisons a glass of milk meant for Priya, he confronts her, gets her to admit that it was indeed she who had stolen the ear-rings as well as poisoned the milk, then he and Priya move out and go to live with the Deshmukhs. With no income coming in, Yogesh starts working as a peon with Sainath Constructions. After Priya gives birth to a baby boy, Rajesh decides to forgive Madhavi and decides to let him see his son - not knowing that he is opening up a Pandora's box that will only result in more bitterness, acrimony, and create even more misunderstandings as well as a death in the family.

Synopsis:



The newly appointed village schoolteacher arrives in the hamlet. Faced with hostility, he decides to win over the hearts of the people so that they would entrust him with their children. He starts to address their small concerns of daily life, help them with running errands in the small town, and mediates in their disputes. Soon his school starts flourishing with enthusiastic students and parents. The high point is the building of the community gymnasium with the participation of all the villagers and the inauguration by the prince of the state.
The usual joys and sorrows of daily life continue amidst the growth of the school. It is as if the young teacher lived through a couple of thrilling dramas, a few interesting short stories and a long epic novel about the life of simple common folk. But with time, drought forces the shepherds to migrate in search of pasture. The teacher is transferred and as he leaves by the same path as he had arrived, he now has a profound insight into the ways of nature and the lives of these simple people with their maturity, simplicity, even nobility in their self-dependence and approach to problems with conscience and a sense of justice and fair play.

Cast: Amruta Subhash, Subodh Bhave, Sayaji Shinde, Sonali Kulkarni, Sandip Mehata, Milind Shinde

“Tya Ratri Paus Hota” is a Marathi film released very recently in 2009. The title translated literally would mean ‘it rained that night’. It is not, however, the story of just one long rainy night. In fact, nothing much happens during the night except towards the climax.

The rainy night brings together by chance Avinash (Subodh Bhave) and Raavi (Amruta Subhash), brother and sister, after many long years of separation. Earlier in their childhood, the two children and their father Vishwas (Sandeep Mehta) and mother Gayatri (Sonali Kulkarni) have been a happy family. But there is a villain in the story, politician Shripatrao (Sayaji Shinde), a man of evil designs. He falsely implicates Vishwas and gets him sent him to jail. When Gayatri seeks his help to get her husband released, he agrees but makes her pay a heavy price for this favour. Vishwas is furious when he comes to know of it, and unaware of the fact that what Gayatri did was only for his sake, he leaves home with Avi, and Raavi is left with Gayatri.

When Avi and Ravee meet on that rainy night, they exchange the half-truths that they had known and lived with, and the real and complete truth emerges. By that time it is morning and the movie ends on a ray of hope.

Unlike most other rain-soaked movies, thunder and lightning are conspicuous by their absence in “Tya Ratri Paus Hota”. The film does begin with a scene shot in a heavy downpour, but the rain continues in the form of intermittent showers, some of them heavy, to use the meteorologist’s language. Rains are also a part of some of the flashback scenes, and the songs speak of overcast skies and cloudbursts. However, there are no particularly good natural shots of rain that would justify the title of the film. What we see is mostly water trickling down the roofs, or rainwater drenched in blue light, or car headlights beaming through the rain.

The story attempts to revive memories washed away in floods and long forgotten. It has flashbacks of happiness drowned in cloudbursts of lust, greed and exploitation. “Tya Ratri Paus Hota” is more like a night of artificial rain that the story could even have done without!

Anaahat 2003



Anahat (Eternity) is a 2003 Marathi film directed by Amol Palekar and starring Sonali Bendre, Anant Nag and Deepti Naval. Anahat focuses on a woman (Bendre) asserting her right to sexual fulfillment. Anahat, (the eighth feature film of the actor-turned-director), is the second offering by Palekar which examines gender-related issues, the first being Daayra. The film was inspired by Surendra Verma’s Hindi play Surya ki Antim Kiran Se Surya Ki Pehli Kiran Tak. Anahat was screened as the opening film of the 2003 Indian Panorama, an International film festival.

Plot

Anahat is set in the 10th century, in Shravasti, the capital of the Kingdom of Malla. Anahat revolves around two individuals — the king of Malla (Nag) who is unable to provide an heir and the Queen, Sheelavati (Bendre), who forced to choose a potent mate for one night. But while the queen is ordered to merely produce an inheritor through the prevalent custom of Niyoga, she ends up enjoying the sexual act. Her overt demand for a repeat act thickens the plot.

cast:-
Ashok Saraf, Sonali Kulkarni, Subodh Bhave, Usha Nadkarni, Raghavendra Kalkol, Pushkar Shotri,Lokesh Gupte, Santosh Juvekar, Jyoti Joshi, Kishor Mahabole

Company: Shree Chintamani Vision
Producers: Lata Narvekar, Bharati Acharekar

Director:
Sanjay Surkar

Music:Ashok Patki

Story: Gautam Rajadhyaksha, Yogesh Khadikar


Far of from the usual storylines of commercial movies where two people meet, develop romantic love for each other and then live a happy life every after, Sanjay Surkar’s Sakhi is a movie which is unusual in all respects and aspects. It moves away from typical comedy forcibly included in movies to deviate the audience’s attention from a weak script and keep the movie going. Sakhi is a story of a relationship that develops between two strangers brought together by fate.

The two strangers, Suryakant Jagdale(Ashok Saraf) and Nishi ( Sonali Kulkarni ) find each other at a such a time in their life when both need support and a mentor to guide them. Suryakant, an accountant returns to his village Jatgaon, where he is born and brought up by his godmother Kunda Tai (Usha Nadkarni). He hides the fact from her and his friends that he is actually been fired from his job. He decides to spend his time by doing something for the villagers. But his all efforts end in vain. Restless, frustrated and tired, Suryakant contemplates on what is to be done next when he hears a woman’s cry for help.
Soaked in blood and badly bruised, he sees Nishi (Sonali Kulkarni) being chased by two men. He saves her and takes her to his house. Nishi narrates the tale of how she was married of by her brothers into a rich Inamdar family. She comes to know on her wedding night itself that her husband is not loyal to her. Her brother-in-law eyes her every time with bad intension and her mother -in-law turns a blind eye to all this and reminds her that she should actually be obliged to them for taking her into their family and not complain. Sonali Kulkarni in Sakhi
Sonali Kulkarni gives her best performance ever as a woman suppressed by the conditions, trying her best to adjust to her cursed fate. Unable to bear the brunt any longer, she runs away from the house. When is refused an entry into her brother’s house, she admits herself into a women’s ashram but there too she does not find solace. She escapes from the ashram only to be chased by two men and finally being saved by Suryakant.

Ashok Saraf gives a strong performance after a long time by playing a role of a mere understanding friend who strives to give a new meaning to his Sakhi’s life, a woman who needs support, care and security. A relationship which is beyond friendship develops between the two. Sonali’s voice gives her an advantage in playing out well her role of a tortured wife and of innocent village lass.

The movie drags too much with in the second half. The ego clashes shown between Subodh Bhave and Saraf are unnecessary. Some scenes are too obvious in the movie. The end of the movie is seems to have well thought about but was also dragged a lot. Though the movie loses its touch in the here and there, it is brought back by effective dialogues and strong performances by Saraf and Usha Nadkarni, who plays an understanding and supportive character. Certainly a bold subject to make a movie on but would have been effective if the script was more intense.
