After delivering a bunch of superhit marathi movies like Lai
Bhaari, Duniyadari, Kaaksparsh, Natarang, Essel Vision has come up with a sweet
children oriented movie set in Pandharpur. The film gets its timing right with
its release date on Children’s Day and just after Kartik Ekadashi.
Paresh Mokashi of Harishchandrachi Factory fame strikes a
chord with the next generation with a group of talented kids in the movie. Shrirang,
Sayali, Pushkar playing Dnyana, Zendu and Ganya respectively act so
effortlessly that it almost feels that they have lived the characters from
birth.
Dnyana’s family has a loan to pay off. The bank guys snatch
the sweater weaving machine, which is the only source of income, as mortgage.
However, the bank gives them a deal – Pay Rs. 5000, take the machine back and
the interest will also be waived off. But 5000 is a huge amount for them.
Dnyana's pet Elizabeth; a decorative bicycle is a gift from his father who is no
more and his mother tries to sell it off as the last recourse to pay the loan. The movie is about the struggle that the
mother and the children do to pay for the loan.
Director Paresh Mokashi use laws of Newton and blends it
with philosophy and spirituality. He says ‘Every action has an equal and
opposite reaction’ to preach ‘As you sow, so shall you reap.’’ Dnyana fondly
called as Pandharpur’s Newton is shown preaching against blind faith. He
teaches older men and women not to kill animals in the name of God.
The music throughout the movie keeps your feet tapping. The
background score is filled with dholki and cymbals and abhangs which give you
the essence of Pandharpur.
Take your younger self and your younger ones to this light
hearted story. A one-time must watch.
