Baipan Bhari Deva Review: Worth A Watch! – Rediff.com

‘I used to be fairly charmed by the adept dealing with of a easy (but difficult!) topic and had my share of guffaws and tears by the point the curtain fell,’ observes Nitin Sathe after watching the superhit Baipan Bhari Deva.

Popping out of the film corridor with moist eyes, I realised that we had simply been via a film which had taken us via many points of life, some (or all?) of which many people within the viewers may relate to.

Reminiscing later, I couldn’t however undergo a number of the scenes within the film which associated to my life too, and I puzzled if the learnings from the reel life may very well be put to make use of in actual life.

I’m not one for the films, and going for a Marathi movie to a theatre was not one thing that I had ever considered doing, ever.

My mom was turning 85 and somebody prompt {that a} good technique to have a good time the milestone could be to take her for a film.

So Baipan Bhari Deva was determined upon, after all, after checking with pals and the critiques accessible.

The film had executed nicely since its launch and had recorded the best earnings for a Marathi movie, and subsequently, the selection was easy.

Only a handful of individuals within the corridor was suggestive of the actual fact the preliminary hullabaloo of the film had waned.

I, being the sceptical form and going in opposition to my grain, carried a sense that this film expertise wasn’t going to be too nice, stepping into the theatre.

I used to be quickly to be proved flawed.

The film has been scripted nicely by Vaishali Naik and directed even higher by Kedar Shinde, the person who directed the same movie in 2004 — Aga Bai Arrecha!

Kedar has additionally scripted and directed quite a few super-hit Marathi performs. With age, the director has turn into higher together with his work, it’s obvious because the film revealed itself.

Set in Mumbai from the Nineteen Seventies to the current, the story revolves across the lives of 6 sisters who at the moment are between 40 and 60; their completely satisfied childhood desires and variations then, and within the current — the utterly completely different lives they lead.

Lives, wherein they can not pursue their desires and be themselves; as an alternative, pressured to dwell for others.

It showcases their particular person battles with relationships, menopause, ageing and lots of different torrents and torments of life.

Rohini Hattangadi (Jaya or Mai as she is named because the senior) performs the eldest sister whereas Vandana Gupte (Shashi) is the gregarious sister who, regardless of her personal set of insecurities, has a need to get all of them collectively as soon as once more.

She is the Mrs ‘Know-all’ who appears to grasp what her siblings are going via and has solutions for every of their issues while being oblivious to her personal.

The opposite sisters are performed by Sukanya Kulkarni (Sadhana), Suchitra Bandekar (Pallavi), Shilpa Navalkar (Ketaki). Deepa Parab performs the youngest of the lot (Charu).

All of the actresses have been tremendous hit heroines of their time and match into their roles extraordinarily nicely.

The male roles are quick however fantastically executed; particularly the offended father-in-law performed by Sharad Ponkshe, and the calming persona of Satish Joshi who performs Tarun Desai, Hattangadi’s husband.

All in all, every of the actors, even those that have small elements, have executed justice to their roles and deserve all reward.

The film traces the life of every of the six sisters who get married into completely different households to steer utterly completely different lives; some divorced and widowed, some having issues with their husbands, some with their in-laws, some with their kids.

Every of the issues that they face pressure them away from the lives that they dream of residing, and that clearly leads them to internalise these conflicts, by no means to be mentioned, even with their very own.

Shashi, in a bid to not be outdone by somebody, (I do not need to let loose the entire plot right here!) enters into a gaggle dance competitors — Manglagauri — and will get all her siblings collectively, all of whom take part reluctantly, going in opposition to the norms of their current lives.

The re-bonding of the ‘women’ now occurs over the numerous apply classes that they need to do to bag the coveted prize all of them need to win for various causes.

Whereas doing so, the director aptly brings out info and sides of their suppressed lives by going backwards and forwards in time after each few pictures within the current, taking cue from what occurs within the interactions throughout the classes.

It’s tough time mentally and bodily for the women, who lastly handle to assist one another to search out their ft on the dance ground in addition to in life regardless of their variations.

I felt that the preliminary a part of the film may have been a lot shorter.

The director introduces every of the principle gamers via some incident or different over the primary half hour, conserving the viewer getting fidgety to get the plot transferring.

The clever viewer, nevertheless, can visualise the place all of it is heading to, however has to attend for the intermission and past for the principle plot of the story to unfold.

I for one was extra eager to see how the ladies break their shackles and bond collectively into a contented bunch a lot sooner.

The outside ‘pure’ settings of Mumbai are good, however it seems that the manufacturing folks need to save on cash wanted to make elaborate indoor units.

The superb performing and route greater than adequately makes up for this and the producers, subsequently, may be pardoned!

Vandana Gupte and Sukanya Kulkarni are at their greatest though one feels that Rohini Hattangadi’s expertise wasn’t exploited sufficient since she has a a lot smaller function than the remainder.

The movie is a should see for the center class girl (on second ideas, each girl no matter be the category), each city and rural, who can relate to the numerous ‘womanly’ points which have been touched upon within the film.

For my part, it has many a take away for our males too, since it might assist them to grasp and respect delicate points regarding the alternative intercourse higher.

For many who aren’t comfy with the Marathi language, acceptable and good English sub-titles don’t take away any zing from the film.

I used to be fairly charmed by the adept dealing with of a easy (but difficult!) topic and had my share of guffaws and tears by the point the curtain fell.

As my mom remarked on the finish of the present, “Good film, however, while we should be taught to respect our previous, we should additionally be taught to undertake to altering occasions!”
