 Zee Talkies’ eagerly awaited Marathi film ‘Natarang’ is releasing on
1st January, 2010. Creatively stimulating, entertainingly enlightening
and beautifully arresting, ‘Natarang’ is a cinematic canvas with just
the right strokes of acting talents, story, music, cinematography and
but of course path breaking direction.
Director Ravi Jadhav promises to encapsulate the heart of
Maharashtra’s cultural mélange- the tamasha through this debut film of
his. Set up in Maharashtra’s rustic hinterlands, the film bears the
dust of its rural life, and treats you to some beautiful film-making
there within. Starring Atul Kulkarni and Sonalee, the film compels you
to reflect on the simplest desires of life. As Guna Kagalkar, the lead
character of the film, played by Atul Kulkarni inspires you to do just
that. The passion, obsession, zeal and undying desire to set up a
tamasha theatre company, leaves you completely spellbound.
Natarang’s colorful palette of talented cast and crew adds to its
excitement. Based on a story by the same name by veteran Marathi author
Dr. Anand Yadav, it credits its cinematography to Mahesh Limaye (famed
for his work in ‘Fashion’, ‘Corporate’, ‘Traffic Signal’ etc) ,
screenplay to Ravi Jadhav and dialogues and lyrics to Guru Thakur.
‘Natarang’s music, by famed duo Ajay-Atul too is soulful, melodious,
and rhythmically rural and touches just the right chords.
Right from the time ‘Natarang’ went on floors it has been enveloped
by curiosity from film critics and cinema lovers alike. It has been
showered with applauds from not just Indian but also international film
critics. It’s screening and subsequent honors at the 11th international
MAMI film festival, the 8th Asian Film Festival etc is a definite proof
of its cinematic prowess. In fact in the MAMI film festival, it became
the only Indian movie to be selected in the 14 ‘Above the cut’ category
films, for its outstanding cinematic merit.
Even at the Asian Film festival held at Kolhapur and Mumbai, it was
chosen as the opening film of the festival at Kolhapur, which is a very
genuine applause given the fact that Kolhapur is the city where
Maharashtra’s cultures thrive and cherish, tamasha being an important
part of them.
So get all set to be enlightened this New Year, as the most awaited
film across Maharashtra- ‘Natarang’ knocks on your nearest cinema
