DUNIYADARI

DUNIYADARI is a Marathi film based on the novel written by Shri. Suhas Shirwalakar. DSP (Ankush Choudhari) and the Katta Gang bring meaning into Shreyas’(Swapnil joshi) sad and eventless life with their hooliganism. Film moves through college life, friendship, love affairs and Katta stories. Chinmay mandalekar has blended Marathi and hindi dialogues appropriately. Every actor has given justice to the character. Lyrics for this movie are nice. On the whole the film by Sanjay Jadhav is definitely worth a watch because of it’s direction, flow, dialogues and brilliant performances. I will rate this movie as four and half star.

DUNIYADARI: Movie Review

DUNIYADARI is a Marathi film directed by Sanjay Jadhav. The film is based on the very renowned novel written by Shri. Suhas Shirwalakar. The movie takes us to collage days of 1970’s era (nothing establishes the exact era except the bell-bottom pants on the gentlemen and the polka dotted dresses and ‘Asha Parekh’s salwar kameezes on the ladies). The Story revolves around a student Shreyas (Swapnil joshi) and his life. Shreyas is lonely and neglected by his warring parents and thus lacks love and friendship in his life. On his mother’s insistence, Shreyas is forced to join a college in Pune where his life changes forever. Two gangs are there in the college. One of them is the Katta gang with Digamber (Ankush Choudhari) as a leader and Sai (Jitendra Joshi) is the leader of another gang. On the college’s first day, Digamber (known as Digya) and Katta gang beats Shreyas by mistake. Due to this incidence, two college gangs comes in-front of each other. Due to some circumstances Shreyas joins Katta gang. Shreyas becomes the best friend of Digya. Here onwards Shreyas’ life takes a U-turn, DSP and the Katta Gang bring meaning into Shreyas’ sad and eventless life with their hooliganism. Shreyas enjoys his college life along with his katta gang. Katta gang meets Shirin (Sai Tamhankar) and Pritam (Sushant Shelar), children’s of local MLA. Shirin is a medical student. Shreyas falls in love with Shirin. Meenu (Urmila Kanitkar) daughter of Police joins the college. Katta gang decides Shreyas will act as lover of Meenu. Meenu actually falls in love with Shreyas. Film moves through this love triangle. First half of the movie entertains a lot. Audience enjoys the college life filled with friendship, love affairs and Katta stories. Second half sentimentalizes the story. The story takes turn as Katta gang breaks. Sai fixes his marriage with Shirin. Shreyas’s father dies. All these things happen suddenly. Here, director reveals ugly truth about arrange marriage. And shreyas starts thinking about love marriage and arrange marriage from different perspective. Chinmay mandalekar has written dialogues for this movie. He had blended Marathi and hindi dialogues appropriately. Every actor has given justice to the character. Pritam’s dialogue “Sasti cheezo ka shouk hum bhi nahi rakhte” reveals his richness. Urmila Kanitkar, as Meenu seems to be the perfect choice to portray the sweet girl next door. Jitendra joshi’s presence in movie has portrayed villain brilliantly. His dialogues “Aei Rishi Pakuur” and “Mehune Mehune Mehunyanche Pahune (in-laws in-laws, relatives of in-laws) express comedy as well as revenge tone. He portrayed as bad son of MLA. Ankush Choudhari has confidently portrayed as college goon. Sai tamhankar, as Shirin appears on the screen as rich girl flawlessly. First time in Marathi 11 leading artists sang the title song “Zindagi Zindagi”. This is Friendship song around college katta. Through this song director introduces characters in nice way. Love song “Tick Tick Vajate” by sonu nigam elaborates love triangle. Song “Deva tuzya gabharyala” by Ajay-Atul reflects love break-up and tension. Lyrics for this movie are nice. Flow of movie is very good. Direction of movie increases audience’s eagerness about what will be the next. On the whole the film is definitely worth a watch largely because of it’s dialogues and brilliant performances. Audience will enjoy this movie definitely. I will rate this movie as four and half star. Why shreyas’s mother insists him to join the same college? Whether menu gets her love? With whom Shirin marries? What happens to Digya’s love story? Whether the katta gang reforms and remembers their friendship? For these answers you have to watch the movie Duniyadari.

Coorg Visit

I enjoyed my coorg visit during my last vacation. It was around 10 hour journey from Panvel junction to Manglore by Konkan railway. And 3 hr journey from Mangalore to Madikeri by car. Mangalore route is parallel to coast. Coorg route is consist of curves and valleys full. When we reached at Madikeri it was morning 9 o’clock. The atmosphere was too cool & fresh. It was like cloud came to touch the road. Everywhere you can see greenery, areca nut (Supari) trees,rubber trees, pepper trees. On first day, we visited Madikeri. Madikeri is the main town of the coorg (koddugu) district. Raja’s seat is one of the scene points. It is present at top of hill. History tells that Raja used to sit at this place to enjoy nice valley greenery & cloudy scenes. Small garden is provided near this Raja’s seat. Then a path through coffee and cardamom plantation leads us towards the Abbey’s falls. The roar of the falls can be heard from road. It is big water fall where we enjoyed water splashing. On second day, we visited Dubare. This place is known for elephant camp. Here we enjoyed elephant ride, Bathing an elephant. As this place is at banks of Kaveri river, we enjoyed boating. Then we visited Nisargdhama, which is nice picnic point. Nisargdhama is an island formed by river Kaveri. Island is accessible through a hanging rope bridge. We saw deer park at Nisargdhama. On third day, we visited Talakaveri. It is the place from where kaveri river origins. It is holy place worshipped for kaveri temple. Nearby place Bhagmandala, which is situated at confluence of three rivers mainly kaveri, kanika & sujyothi. Among these Sujyothi is hidden one. After this we started back to mangalore & then finally to Mumbai. Coorg is nice place to visit. It will relax you from your day to day office life.
