Ashok Saraf to be conferred with Maharashtra Bhushan award

  Ashok Saraf: The Maharashtra Bhushan 2024             "Dhananjay Mane ithech raahtaat ka?"      D hananjay Mane ithech raahtat kaa? Every Maharashtrian laughs at this diaglogue histerically because this impromptu improvisation by actor Laxmikant Berde in the movie 'Ashi hi BanvaBanvi' reminds them their childhood. In the 80s Ashok Saraf and Laxmikant Berde worked together in several Marathi Comedy movies and most of them were box-office hits bringing the wave of Comedy films in Marathi Cinema. Both the actors started their careers from theatre, worked in Marathi and Hindi Films and Television in their careers. Their contribution to Marathi Cinema is immense. We lost Laxmikant Berde early, but every now and then when we watch 'Zapatlela' and 'Ashi hi Banvabanavi' Movies on TV, we feel that he is still alive and making us laugh.

The Making of Vote Kijiye

   The Making Story of 'Vote Kijiye',

 a Social Ad by Ashwamedh Kalamanch

    As the Lokshaba Election 2019, is coming ahead. I decided to share the Making Story of 'Vote Kijiye' - a social advertisement created by Ashwamedh Kalamanch. India is one of the largest democracy in the world. But only 40-45% people of India vote during the election. In the Loksabha of 2014, Narendra Modi became Prime Minister only with 31% votes. India has the second largest population in the world. This vote percentage is really depressing. 

       Those who vote, are the real citizens of democratic India as they understand the real meaning of Democracy and value the power of right to vote.  'Voting' is not only our right; it's our social responsibility' is the concept of this social advertisement. I needed a ripe mango for the same Ad. Unfortunately, as there is no Mango in the Market in this season I decided to use plastic mango for the shooting. Yet it has been helpful as I didn't have to make any extra arrangement to put Red liquid (Mixture of Ketch-up and Kunkum) in the mango. We bought two syringe and hand gloves to suck blood (the liquid) in it. The Mango represents the 'Aam Aadmi' in this Advertisement. 'Wrong Turn' fame Abdul Hakim Ansari has acted in this Advt. The Ad has been circulating on Facebook with good response. You too can watch this ad below and do give your feedback in the comments
 Thank you.
