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. Sachin Pilgaonkar, Mahesh Kothare, Ashok Saraf and Laxmikant Berde rules Marathi Film industry for more than a decade. They g

Release of Prabhas starrer Adipurush delayed

    Adipurush's release delayed by makers for the rework on VFX after backlash on Social Media


Adipurush

 The Prabhas starrer 'Adipurush' movie is based on holy Hindu book Ramayan. It is directed by 'Tanhaji' fame Om Raut. The trailer of the film was launched on Dussehra of 2022. It got backlash on Social media for the fancy portrayal of Ravan. People said Saif Ali Khan looked more like a Mughal than Ravan. Om Raut clarified that it was his imagination about how Ravan will look like in today's context. Chappals in Ram's legs, Islamic beard of Hanuman and more such hilarious things were noticed by the people. Adipurush was set to hit the Cinema halls on Makar Sankranti of 2023 (Jan 2023) but now makers have decided to delay its release to June-July 2023. For rework on VFX of the film T-Series is ready to spend more 100 Crores as it is Prabhas starrer movie and can recover the investment easily. In India, Bollywood Movies aren't doing great while South Indian movies are doing great business pan India. The trend started from Bahubali and still continuing with the massive success of Rishabh Shetty Film 'Kantara'. Handling films based on Historical events, or mythological characters is anyhow very risky. 

   We saw how Padmavat Director faced wrath of Karani Sena in past. Sanjay Leela Bhansali changed name of the movie from Padmavati to Padmavat fearing consequences of hurting sentiments of Rajputs. In recent times, Prithviraj Chavan movie flopped as audience decided to Boycott Akshay Kumar for Pan Masala Ad, and using Hidutva and Nationalism for minting money on Box Office. Somehow Ram Setu is doing good as it was released during Diwali season. After spending two Diwali's under Pandemic fear, it was the first Diwali which was celebrated like pre-Covid times. People travelled a lot and went out with families to watch movies in theatres after long time. It helped Ram Setu. New Marathi movie  'Har Har Mahadev' created huge controversy in Thane yesterday when NCP Leader Jitendra Awhad stalled the show of movie in Viviana Mall Thane for distortion of History. Abhijeet Deshpande directed film is based on Pawan Khind battle in which Baaji Prabhu Deshpande and 300 Mavlas killed thousands of enemies in GhodKhind. The film has some inappropriate scenes like Afzhal stabbing Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj when he is sleeping on bench, Baaji Prabhu Deshpande using slang word 'Ghanta', and showing that Baaji Prabhu went to Kills Shivaji Maharaj on Fort before becoming his loyal ally. Not only history is distorted but also some gory-bloody scenes seems to have allowed by Censor board. MNS leader Raj Thackeray has lent his voice to the film, hence MNS is supporting the film.  

 After seeing the response which VFX of Bramhastra received, it is clear than Adipurush now wants to rework on VFX of film rightly. Let's hope makers will come up with good finished product next year.
