Society often destroys what it doesn't understand. He plays the part as no one else would and eventually realizes no one else could have. But he is not mere an actor but a writer (shaahir) of his plays.
Making a movie around the secondary character in the show itself is surprising. Tamasha is famous-infamous in the marathi folklore for various reasons.
He chooses latter in process rises in art industry and falls on personal and social fronts. This sends Guna in real conflict where he has to choose between his social-family-personal image or his dream. Pandoba convinces mother (his old flame)-daughter to be partner in the troupe but they want a nachya in their group otherwise threatens to call whole thing off. Pandoba, manager of the troupe played with naturalistic swagger by Kishor Kadam accidentally stumbles upon Naina (Sonali Kulkarni) in Kolhapur ("Lanket Sonyachya Vita"). After loosing his job he swears to build a troupe but the realizes most important thing they need to find is lead dancer. Guna (Atul Kulkarni, can't praise enough for his dedication) is an avid Tamasha (folk dance) fan and has talent for writing. But it's showing signs of recovery and some promise lately. Marathi film industry was almost dead for me and was only churning out the usual potboilers and non-funny- at-all-and-assault-on-senses comedies from some years. Fantastic!! Finally Zee Talkies should be applauded for backing this project. ۩ Amruta Khanvelkar:: What makes her item number etched in the minds of the audience is her screen presence and the composition of the lavani "Wajle Ki Barah" itself. No string attached performance and a very strong screen presence. Editing perhaps? ۩ Kishore Kadam:: Effective portrayal. ۩ Vibhawari Deshpande:: Sadly her character got completely relegated to backseat resulting to a dwarfed character role. Needed more screen time for her character blossom into full glory. But very pretty indeed, the green-eyed beauty captures attention from the word go. ۩ Sonali (with an "ee") Kulkarni:: In comparison to protagonist her character is subdued. Pay special attention to the commitment of Atul from portrayal of a strong physique labourer to a breathing life into the namby-pamby pansy. ۩ Atul Kulkarni:: If there is any reason should you be propelled to watch the movie then make it Atul Kulkarni. Noteworthy is the realistic touch in the garb of performance, location and the icing on the cake namely the language and dialect. The plot is engaging, screenplay engrossing and editing gives it a sleek feel. The narrative hooks the audience from the word go. Every soul associated with the movie has poured his heart out and it clearly reflects in the proceedings. The director (Ravi Jadhav) deserves a standing ovation.
Good marathi movies are far in between and when a movie like "Natrang" (yes, its not "Natarang") comes by it certainly qualifies for a definite watch.
