Baji (Marathi Movie) Review – Worth your time & money
Rating: * * *
By: Keyur Seta
Nikhil Mahajan's Baji achieves a rare feat of being a powerful action saga narrated and crafted in an artistic way. It is a benchmark of sorts for Marathi cinema when it comes to presenting a story. However, the film doesn't rise as much as you expect after a brilliant first half due to various reasons. But there is enough in Baji for the masses to savor it.
Baji is based in the village of Shrigangpur, where Chidu (Shreyas Talpade) lives a simple life with his mother. Chidu is honest but lags behind in intelligence and bravery. This is the reason why he doesn't find acceptance from the girl he is madly in love with – his childhood friend Gauri (Amruta Khanvilkar). The village is also known because of the savior Baji, who is believed to exist decades ago.
But there are some like Chidu who don't believe such tales. But Gauri is a firm believer in Baji as the hero had saved her life during her childhood. She has been in love with Baji ever since and is still waiting for him. Chidu is eager to be her Baji but will he succeed? Meanwhile, Martand (Jitendra Joshi), a harmless villager, turns into a greedy devil when he comes to know that tons of gold lies underneath the land of Shrirangpur.
Baji is a rare example of a close to three hour movie that doesn't force you to look at the clock even once. As far as the first half is concerned, the fascinating and intriguing storyline, creative narration and Mahajan's mature handling of the subject leave you super-impressed! The shadow fighting sequence is a sheer pleasure and it deserves special mention. At this point itself you realize the film is an achievement for Marathi cinema.
But alas, things aren't so similar in the second half. Although it continues to be a well-shot entertaining affair till the end, it is the twist that plays spoilsport. After such an out-of-the-box first half, you really don't expect the story to tread on the age old, tried-and-tested formula lines, but this is exactly what happens. In fact, the basic plot is almost the same as that of a Marathi film released not-so-long-ago, which itself was a mish-mash of a number of Hindi films.
Vasu Rane's camerawork plays a large role in making Baji look like an international product. Be in the picturesque locales of Konkan or the high octane action sequences, he excels throughout. The background score and editing also make sure the final product turns out to be technically impressive. Atif Afzal joins the party too with well composed tracks, from which the title song is the best of all.
The film will also be remembered for its action and stunts, especially the train sequence. However, the use of a huge hammer to beat up could have been avoided. Such visuals can't be digested by a large section of the audience since the film is aimed at people of all age groups.
Coming to the performances, this film required Shreyas Talpade to give his best performance till date and he does that. This act also adds on to his versatility since he manages to excel even in this genre. Jitendra Joshi matches up to him with an excellent, powerful villainous act. This will surely be one of his most talked about act always.
Amruta Khanvilkar too displays her talent playing a tough village belle. Actors playing Chidu's friend and mother too play their parts well. Nagraj Manjule (director of Fandry) scores in a cameo.
Overall: Baji is an entertainer worth your time and money. It also ensures Nikhil Mahajan to be a lookout for the future. With the tremendous hype and its commercial nature, it is most likely to be a box office success.

Balkadu (Marathi Movie) Review
Rating: * *
By: Keyur Seta
A film about the ideologies and teachings of an inspirational personality, who has a Godly status among his followers, should ideally be a soul-stirring affair. If not this, it should at least be filled with moments that touch you.
Director Atul Kale's Balkadu has such instances but they are only few and far between. The film overall turns out to be a wannabe type due to some weak writing and execution. It also bears striking similarities with Mahesh Manjrekar's Mee Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy.
The story revolves around Balkrushna Patil (Umesh Kamat), who is a school teacher staying in Mumbai's Nala Sopara. His professional and personal life, including his relation with his childhood sweetheart Sai (Neha Pendse), is far from perfect.
As he teaches History, he starts suffering from a condition where he hears voices of historical personalities. Among these voices, the most prominent one is that of the late Shiv Sena Supremo Balasaheb Thackeray. At the same time, Balkrushna's heart bleeds to see the condition of Marathi people in Mumbai. Will Thackeray's guidance turn out to be an inspiration for him?
(To follow this blog on Facebook, click HERE.)
Balkadu's motto is to spread Thackeray's message for his followers to fight for their rights. But the primary objective of every film is to tell an interesting tale and this is where it falters. The biggest weakness here is the writing. There is hardly any story in the first half. This ensures a screenplay with errors and without any flow.
Things remain the same post-interval. The protagonist's manner of enlightening and the way the revolution spreads is unconvincing and, at times, unintentionally hilarious. His idea of Marathis moving from the outskirts of Mumbai into the heart of the city is also impractical. Due to these issues, the inspirational message, barring few moments, hardly has any effect on you, especially the speeches, which appear corny.
Another worrisome aspect is the justification given for vandalism. Also, abhorring the idea of Marathi girls marrying non-Marathi guys is regressive in today's era.
From the music, the Powada song is the only impressive number. But it is quite funny to see a teacher singing and dancing to such a song while teaching history. The camerawork falls in the good category while the background music is too loud.
Apart from some genuinely funny moments, it is Umesh Kamat's performance that keeps the film going. He gets his act right by portraying various emotions with ease. Prasad Oak is highly convincing as the bad guy. Neha Pendse isn't bad. As Balkrushna's mother, Supriya Pathare provides an entertaining act. The actor playing the channel head is average. Anand Ingale is likable while Tiku Talsania is over-the-top. Pushkar Shrotri impresses in a cameo.
Overall: Balkadu doesn't create the desired effect due to various issues. The film stands some chance at the box office due to the hype.

Review: Classmates (Marathi Movie)
Rating: * * ½
By: Keyur Seta
Director: Aditya Sarpotdar
Producers: Video Palace and S K Production Films
Writers: Kshitij Patwardhan and Sameer Vidwans
Cast: Ankush Choudhary, Siddharth Chandekar, Sai Tamhankar, Sonalee Kulkarni, Sachit Patil, Pallavi Patil
Genre: Drama
Review: Director Aditya Sarpotdar's Classmates focuses on a group of college friends and their life after college. Such a subject instantly reminds you of Sanjay Jadhav's Duniyadari. Funnily enough, Classmates turns out to be like a remake of Duniyadari, with the additional elements of political war and suspense woven into the main plot. In spite of this, the film keeps your interest alive only to dish out some disappointment in the end.
The story commences in 2015 when a group of friends inaugurates a music section in the college from where they passed out. Starting a music section in the college was a dream of their friend who is no more. A shocking incident just after the inauguration forces them to go recall their college days during the final year 20 years ago.
(To follow this blog on Facebook, click HERE.)
In 1995, Satya (Ankush Choudhary), Aparna aka Appu (Sai Tamhankar) and their group, from TYBA, are known for their aggressive ways. First year students Ani (Siddharth Chandekar), Aditi (Sonalee Kulkarni), Rohit (Sachit Patil) and Heena (Pallavi Patil) also become a part of their lives. The college elections that year changes their lives forever.
Just a couple of minutes into the film and you get a déjà vu about Duniyadari. As the minutes roll by, you get a scary feeling that you are being re-served the 2013 blockbuster in a new bottle, not only in terms of the basic scenario but also the traits of two or three main characters. Thankfully, inclusion of political and mystery angles make sure it is not a complete remake.
These elements do lift the film as it keeps you guessing till the end. Sarpotdar's manner of presenting various twists and their timing ensure dramatic thrill regularly. However, the final twist and conclusion isn't much convincing, although it takes you by surprise. You feel there is something amiss. Plus, the final scene brings back memories of Duniyadari. The film also suffers from being dragged in the second half. Its high length of 153 minutes isn't justified.
Music (Amitraj, Avinash-Vishwajeet, Troy-Arif, Pankaj Padghan) plays an important part as the songs suit the situations and prove to be hummable. The camerawork and background score are also as per the need.
As for the performances, the film mainly belongs to Siddharth Chandekar, who perfectly gets into the skin of his character and provides a mature act. Ankush Choudhary too packs a punch but his character is very similar to the one he played in Duniyadari. Sai Tamhankar proves to be effective once again in two starkly opposite characters.
Sachit Patil performs well while playing an interesting character. Sonalee Kulkarni, Pallavi Patil and Sushant Shelar play their respective characters well. The rest of the actors provide decent support.
Overall: Classmates is an average college film. Its similarities with Duniyadari will also go against it. Due to a good amount of publicity, the film will do well at the box office in the first week.

Lokmanya (Marathi Movie) Review
By: Keyur Seta
Rating: * * * *
The basic motto of a biopic is to do complete justice to the person on whom it is based. The next challenge for such genre of films is to leave behind a solid impact on the heart and mind of the viewer through his message or teachings. Om Raut's Lokmanya – Ek Yug Purush succeeds in both areas while also making sure it is not just any other freedom fighter biopic.
Lokmanya – Ek Yug Purush focuses on the life of India's freedom fighter, journalist, teacher and social reformer, Bal Gangadhar Tilak aka Lokmanya Tilak from the time he was a college student till the end of his life. The film highlights his fight against the British rule through various means and its consequences.
The story of a newspaper journalist (Chinmay Mandlekar), based in today's times, is also narrated simultaneously. Hailing from Mumbai's middle-class, he is about to marry his rich fiancée (Priya Bapat). But a chance incident ignites some serious inner conflict within him.
(To follow this blog on Facebook, click HERE.)
Biopics face a danger of becoming a bit boring or a drag, making it unacceptable for the youth. But Lokmanya steers clear from it. Through a riveting screenplay, powerful dialogues and appealing presentation, you are kept engrossed. It also makes sure that the protagonist's inspiring lines don't turn out to be fake or corny. Although the film is filled with soul-stirring events, the sequence about the explanation of the Bhagvad Gita and the sad truth during opening credits deserve mention.
But as mentioned before, the film stands apart from the usual biopics. This is due to the story of the journalist, based in today's era, which is connected to the life story of Tilak. This aspect will break your heart about the kind of lives people are living today. It will force you to question not only others but also yourself.
Lokmanya has few issues though. The commercial element in some sequences should have been toned down. But the biggest question mark is the change of heart of a supporting character, which is unconvincing.
Ajit-Sameer's music enhances the proceedings to a greater level, especially the theme song. The same can be said for the technicalities (camerawork, background score and editing), production values and costume designing.
Lokmanya wouldn't have been reached this level without Subodh Bhave's brilliant enactment of the protagonist. With a powerful and heartwarming act, he shows why he is one of the finest artists around. Sameer Sanjay Vidwans too shines in the role of Gopal Ganesh Agarkar.
Chinmay Mandlekar succeeds in displaying frustration and helplessness, mostly through his expressions. Priya Bapat too plays her part perfectly. Angad Mhaskar, as Daiji Khare, Prashant Uthale, as Chapekar, and the rest of the actors play their parts well. However, the actor in the role of Swami Vivekananda is a miscast.
Overall: Lokmanya – Ek Yug Purush is an ideal film for today's youth to know this important personality from India's freedom struggle. It is expected to do well at the box office.

Review: Happy Journey
By: Keyur Seta
Rating: * * * *
Director: Sachin Kundalkar
Producers: Everest Entertainment
Writer: Sachin Kundalkar
Cast: Atul Kulkarni, Priya Bapat, Pallavi Subhash
Music: Karan Kulkarni
The title of Sachin Kundalkar's Happy Journey is misleading, but in a good way. The film actually is a very happy journey; one which forces you to introspect and question yourself while you are filled with delight. It is yet another contemporary Marathi film with an international appeal.
Happy Journey revolves around the 35-year-old Niranjan (Atul Kulkarni) and his younger sister Janaki (Priya Bapat) and their unexpected and life-changing journey. Later on, Alice (Pallavi Subhash), Niranjan's school friend, also becomes a part of the voyage.
After the initial few minutes, anybody's obvious guess would be to see the film head into an obvious, particular direction. However, not only are we proved wrong but we are also dished out a huge surprise or a pleasant shock, if we can call it, in terms of the basic plot. The subject is way different form what we have seen in the promos, where the makers have smartly hidden it.
(To follow us on Facebook, click HERE.)
To simply put it, the storyline is unique. This itself is the biggest plus point. But the end result was possible due to Kundalkar's mature handling of a sensitive subject. As the journey moves ahead, various layers are unveiled, which make you think a lot by just the visual medium. In other words, the film says a lot without saying much. Of course, there are emotional and, on few occasions, tear-jerking moments but they are in no way depressing.
The subject is such that it also has its share of flaws. There are few other questionable moments too, especially in the second half, where the pace also dips a bit. Thankfully, these issues don't play spoilsport.
DoP Rangarajan Ramabadran has spectacularly captured the beautiful locations of the Konkan region. His work plays a large role in creating the desired effect. Karan Kulkarni composed tracks are soulful and they go perfectly with the situations.
Atul Kulkarni is easily one of the finest artists of the era. So it doesn't come as a surprise that he delivers yet another outstandingly believable act while playing a complex character. But the scene-stealer is Priya Bapat. You just can't stop adoring her due to the manner in which she gets her act right. Pallavi Subhash once again shows signs of talent. There is some issue with her Marathi pronunciation but it might be deliberate to go with her Catholic background.
Veteran artist Chitra Palekar returns as an actor after 32 years with this film. Despite having just a couple of scenes, we can say she has made a terrific comeback. Shiv Subramaniam too leaves behind a mark in just a single scene. Suhita Thatte, Madhav Abhyankar and Siddharth Menon play their respective characters perfectly.
Overall: Happy Journey is an example of a modern tale, which is high on content. Given the end result and the presence of big names, the film will score well at the box office.

Vitti Dandu (Marathi Movie) Review
By: Keyur Seta
Rating: * * *
The mention of Indian freedom fighters instantly brings to our minds those famous names that we have been studying since our school days. But there were lakhs of unknown individuals who made enormous sacrifices for our nation by happily bearing the atrocities of the British. Director Ganesh Kadam's Marathi movie Vitti Dandu pays tribute to such unknown freedom fighters in a heartwarming manner. However, some obvious issues hamper the film from being more impressive.
The story takes place in 1947 in Morgaon, a remote village in Maharashtra. The place is so out of touch with the neighboring areas that it takes around a week for any news to reach there. Among the few hundred inhibitors of the village are Daji (Dilip Prabhavalkar) and his grandson Govind (Nishant Bhavsar). In spite of his son and daughter-in-law being killed by the British, Daji continues to respect them and, in fact, hates those who wish for an independent India.
In the midst of bearing insults and bullying from his fellow villagers, all of a sudden there comes a moment of huge threat for Daji and Govind. The twist is triggered by the 'Vitti' that is used in the game Vitti Dandu (Gilli Danda in Hindi). The story of Daji and Govind is narrated in 2014 by a grandfather (Ravindra Mankani) to his techno-savvy grandson (Shubhankar Atre) while highlighting the importance of being in touch with nature.
Vitti Dandu has a solid foundation of an interesting and intriguing storyline that consist a smart mixture of a grandfather-grandson relationship, freedom struggle and the dying sport of Vitti Dandu. The narration flow and the biggest twist in the tale are also handled maturely.
Kadam has succeeded in bringing alive the pre-independence era of freedom struggle with the scenes depicting patriotic vigor filling you with pride. It is after a long time that patriotism in a film has steered away from appearing fake. The bonding between the people of the village deserves special mention. The dig taken at technology-obsessed individuals who are out of touch with nature is also laudable.

However, the film stops itself from earning more brownie points due to some issues that cannot be ignored. Firstly, there is a big question mark in the main twist. There are logical errors in the second half too. But what hurts the film the most is the last ten minutes. The idea was to induce applause from the audience but that doesn't happen due to silliness and over-ambition. They should have exploited the important plot twist of the finale in a more mature manner.
The cinematographer has succeeded in artistically capturing the beautiful locations. The background score is as per the need. From the songs, the theme 'Vande Mataram' is a powerful rendition which also suits the subject.
The performance area is a plus point. Dilip Prabhavalkar once again succeeds in perfectly getting into the skin of his character and getting every aspect of the character right. Considering he is doing it consistently since last few years shows the brilliance of this artist. Nishant Bhavsar provides a fine act in a difficult role.
Yatin Karyekar, as an elderly Muslim, and Mrunal Thakur are impressive too. The film is also well supported by Ashok Samarth, Vikas Kadam, Uday Deshmukh, Ravindra Mankani and Shubhankar Atre. The actors playing British officers don't get much scope and appear out of place.
Overall: Despite few issues, Vitti Dandu succeeds in being a moving saga that pays tribute to the many unknown freedom fighters.

Elizabeth Ekadashi (Marathi Movie) Review
By: Keyur Seta
Rating: * * * ½
After his magnificent debut with the classic Harishchandrachi Factory, India's official entry to the Oscars, there was naturally a keen wait for Paresh Mokashi's next. The wait is finally over as the maker is back with Elizabeth Ekadashi. Looking at the overall product, we can say that the close to five-year wait is worth. The film turns out to be another simple heart-warming tale that leaves a wide smile on your face.
The story takes place in the holy village of Pandharpur (Maharashtra) where the adolescent Dnyanesh (Shrirang Mahajan) lives with his mother (Nandita Dhuri), younger sister Mukta (Sayali Bhandarkavathekar) and grandmother, after his father passed away few years back. His father had built a unique bicycle named Elizabeth. Dnyanesh and Mukta are literally in love with it.
With his father no more, his family is facing severe financial crisis. His mother needs to pay five thousand rupees to the bank to get her sweater machine back. For this purpose, she considers selling Elizabeth as that would greatly help the cause. But naturally, the kids oppose to the idea. Will Elizabeth be saved?
(To follow us on Facebook, click HERE.)
Over the last few years, Marathi cinema has been regularly churning out simple and realistic rural flicks with strong emotional storyline and characters you easily fall in love with. Elizabeth Ekadashi also falls in this category. However, it manages to stand apart from most of such flicks due to the utter realism it oozes in literally every frame. The real, everyday scenes of Pandharpur are simply a delight. Therefore, it is difficult to accept that the characters are fictitious.
The film follows a contemporary mode of storytelling wherein the tale is narrated through real, everyday scenarios, which makes it smooth flowing and natural. What is further impressive is that Mokashi clearly steers away from melodrama, for which there was a lot of scope. Hence, there are countless moments where a scene says a lot without saying much.
Coming to the negative points, there is one questionable aspect, which cannot be revealed to avoid spoilers. The entire plot also becomes predictable after a while. But thankfully, you tend to enjoy the predictability as it fills you with delight as you leave the hall.
The only song 'Dagad Dagad' by the late Anand Modak is used as the theme and it suits the subject perfectly. There is some fine display of art by the cinematographer (Amol Gole) while the background score too is impressive.
The film is also blessed with excellent performances. In the role of Dnyanesh, Shrirang Mahajan simply wins you over with an outstanding act. Considering his age, he has carried the responsibility with amazing ease. Nandita Dhuri too puts forth a brilliantly believable portrayal of the mother.
Sayali Bhandarkavathekar, as Dnyanesh's sister, is amazingly cute. The lady playing the grandmother doesn't lag behind at all. As Dnyanesh's friend, Pushkar Lonkar is hilarious! At the same time, he scores well during emotional scenes too. The rest of the actors offer perfect support.
Overall: Elizabeth Ekadashi is yet another heartwarming rural tale from Marathi cinema. The film stands a good chance of garnering impressive collections at the box office.

Pyaar Vali Love Story Review – Absurdity kills the message
By: Keyur Seta
Rating: * *
Romeo and Juliet stories are done to death. But this is not exactly the reason why Sanjay Jadhav's Pyaar Vali Love Story doesn't work. The film gets the viewer interested for some time but suddenly falls down the graph of sensibility and continues to do so till its hilariously silly climax. This is enough to ensure that the important message that it tries to give is lost.
The story is set in 1992 in Mumbai. Pashya (Sameer Dharmadhikari) and Kadar (Upendra Limaye) are the best of friends living in adjacent colonies occupied by Hindus and Muslims respectively. Pashya is in love with the hot-tempered but kind Nandini (Urmila Kanitkar Kothare), from his locality.
Amar (Swapnil Joshi), Pashya's brother who stays in a hostel in Pune, returns to Mumbai to arrange his brother's marriage with Nandini. As soon as he arrives in the city, he falls for Aliya (Sai Tamhankar), who is Kadar's sister. But they soon realize that their path of love is filled with obstacles.
Pyaar Vali Love Story works decently in the first 50-55 minutes. Simple characters, their strong bonds and small joys gain your sympathy. Although the spoon-feeding narration and the forceful bonding between both communities could have been avoided, you at least feel interested due to some appealing moments. For example, the manner in which Kadar gets people of the locality to take part in Pashya's wedding. Despite the tried-and-tested method, the romance angle also somewhat works.
But like an accident, the film abruptly loses sense just before interval through an unconvincing twist. What follows is one silly scene following another initiated by a poor misunderstanding. It amazes you how some characters, who till now showed a lot of maturity, suddenly start behaving like immature kids. But just when you think you have seen enough absurdity, you realize that the writers have saved the best one for the climax. On a less serious note, it at least succeeds in making you laugh.
(To follow us on Facebook, click HERE.)
Another questionable aspect is such high usage of Hindi in the dialogues and songs. The obvious reason for this is that few characters are Muslim. But that doesn't mean you convert the film into bilingual whenever they are speak.
The songs (Pankaj Padghan, Amitraj and Samir Saptiska), both peppy and romantic numbers, provide some satisfaction. Prasad Bhende's camerawork is decent. The violin tunes in the background score work very well.
The performances are hampered by the content. Swapnil Joshi and Sai Tamhankar manage to impress as the lead pair. Upendra Limaye and Sameer Dharmadhikari are decent as hot-headed individuals. Urmila Kanetkar Kothare provides a believable and dedicated act by smartly getting into the skin of her character. Nagesh Bhosale and Chinmay Mandlekar, in a cameo, are alright.
Overall: Pyaar Vali Love Story fails in giving an important message due to some unforgivable absurdities. The presence of well-known names and the fact that it is the next film by the team of Duniyadari will ensure a good run for it at the box office in the first week.

Review: Dr Prakash Baba Amte – The Real Hero (Marathi Movie)

Writer: Samruddhi Porey

Music: Rahul Ranade and Aniruddha Wankar
Genre: Biopic
Rating: * * ½
(To follow us on Facebook, click HERE.)
Story Outline: The film is a biopic on the lives of Dr Prakash Baba Amte, the son of the great social worker Baba Amte, and his wife Mandakini Amte. It throws light on his selfless service towards tribals of Maharashtra and animals, including the wild ones.
Review: Having access to a fascinating life story isn't enough while making a biopic. It is equally important for the film to succeed in its basic motto of telling a story. While director Samruddhi Porey's Dr Prakash Baba Amte – The Forgotten Hero brings to light the heart-wrenching, selfless story of the great social worker, it doesn't succeed completely as a film as it hardly provides an emotional impact one expects from such biopics.
Talking about the few positives, Porey and the entire unit should be lauded for showing Amte's humanitarian efforts with utmost reality. This is because shooting with real tribal people and animals is a painstaking task for anyone. Apart from this, the dialogues are intelligent and long lasting with some rib-tickling humor being the surprise element.
But the job of every feature film is to narrate an interesting tale and this is where this biopic falters. Although things aren't that bad pre-interval, the second half tests your patience as on a number of occasions the film appears more like a documentary disguised as a feature film. In fact, there comes a period where scenes of tribals carrying their ill family members to Amte's place are repeated again and again. A screenplay without proper flow and faulty pacing of events are to be blamed for this.
Mahesh Anye's camerawork is noticeable quite regularly. The background score is passable while the editing should have been tighter. The music (Rahul Ranade and Aniruddha Wankar) turns out to be average as not a single track stays with you after the film.
Nana Patekar is very impressive and reliable as he displays his talent while playing the central character. However, on a number of occasions, you can't help but notice that it appears as if he is playing himself. Sonali Kulkarni also shows why she is considered a fine performer. Mohan Agashe, as Baba Amte, excels in a supporting role. Sushant Kakde and Tejashri Pradhan, as younger Prakash and Mandakini Amte, play their parts well. The rest of the actors provide good support.
Overall: Although Dr Prakash Baba Amte – The Real Hero carries out the important task of highlighting Dr Prakash and Mandakini Amte's great work, it doesn't quite succeed as a feature film. Due to the hype and star cast, it will draw crowds initially. But its performance at the box office is doubtful after the first week.

Review: Tapaal
By: Keyur Seta
Director: Laxman Utekar
Producers: Maitreya Mass Media Pvt. Ltd.
Writers: Mangesh Hadavale and Laxman Utekar
Cast: Nandu Madhav, Rohit Utekar, Veena Jamkar
Music: Rohit Nagbhide
Genre: Drama
Rating: * * *
(To follow us on Facebook, click HERE.)
Storyline: The story takes place in the interiors of Raigad, where Ranga (Rohit Utekar), a school kid, is attracted to a girl from his school and village. He tries to woo her but doesn't succeed. So in order to express his feelings for her, he writes her a letter. However, an incident in their village scares the daylight out of Ranga. Now he must stop the letter from being delivered to the girl. But is it too late?
The film also simultaneously tells the story of the village postman (Nandu Madhav) and his wife (Veena Jamkar) and the tragedy surrounding their life.
Review: Earlier this year, Gajendra Ahire presented an interesting saga revolving around a postman in Postcard. The task is now successfully carried forward by Laxman Utekar but through a completely different storyline and treatment in his directorial debut Tapaal.
It is yet another Marathi film of recent years, based in a rural area, which says a lot without saying much as it brings to light different emotions by varied individuals through just one letter or mail. Needless to say, this was possible due to a rich tale narrated in a contemporary and intelligent manner. Although few sequences in the pre-interval portion remind you of Shala and Fandry, the main storyline bears no similarity with those films whatsoever.
There are, however, some issues that stop the film from being superlative. Events in the pre-climax and climax are questionable. Mentioning them would amount to spoilers though. But the biggest issue is the overdose of tear-jerking scenes. A film that had portrayed various emotional moments so subtly (as mentioned before) should have carried on with the same method instead of including so much of sobbing, which, after a point of time, becomes a bit irritating.
(To follow us on Facebook, click HERE.)
As Utekar has been a successful cinematographer, he has carried that responsibility in this film too and his work behind the camera is excellent. You just can't help but be amazed by the mountains and landscapes of Raigad through his eyes. The songs, used in the background, suit the situations and so does the high quality background score.
Nandu Madhav moves you with an act that oozes his terrific acting talent. He surely deserves to be seen more. Child actor Rohit Utekar is excellent in a very difficult and physically and emotionally draining role. Veena Jamkar once again displays her high quality talent. Milind Gunaji leaves a mark in an important cameo. Other supporting actors too chip in with good performances.
Overall: Tapaal is an interestingly moving experience. The film has a chance at the box office provided it receives the much needed word-of-mouth publicity.

Searching online lately for switches/covers. L and HD just don't have all needed. Amazon has quite a large selection of various needs, plus lower prices. There are also a number of supplier ads. Usually I don't go to them, but to get everything wanted the options are available.
You could just buy the standard soft insulators and cut to fit. If I am thinking of what you are after.

What's the Future of the Middle East?
For those who support the institutionalized "progressive" left's or Ron Paul's positions on foreign policy, consider these perspectives expressed in an article posted August 24, 2012 on pravda.ru:
"With the beginning of the Islamic awakening movement in the Middle East, the United States and its allies in the region, fearing the increasing waves of anti-American and anti-Zionist sentiments, tried to insinuate to the world a false interpretation of this movement…
The Zionist regime of Israel has the world's largest network of state terrorism and has committed numerous crimes in the countries of the region, including the killing of the people of Gaza, the assassinations of resistance forces in different countries and assassinations of nuclear scientists of the Islamic Republic of Iran…
The West is forced to revise its policy of unilateral and unfair support to the Zionist regime. They are well aware that the popular uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa began thanks to Islamic awakening and they have an anti-Zionist character. This region will never reflect Zionist domination in the future…
Today, with the removal of the ruling dictators in some countries in the region that were in legion with the Zionist regime, the people of the region are screaming that the installation of the Zionist regime has no legitimacy on Palestinian territory, even if it is the size of the palm of the hand…
Now, an historic opportunity has arrived, the sovereigns in the world should take advantage and set history in the right direction, take away the invader of the scene and return the homeland to the Palestinians"
These proclamations made by an Iranian ambassador make crystal clear the intentions of the Islamist/Fascist Iranian regime and their allies towards Israel, the United States and Western Civilization.: To knowingly and willfully ignore this clarion call to defend the Western/Judeo/Christian world approaches sedition, especially in light of the fact that this statement was published by Russia's Pravda, almost certainly with the approval of President Vladimir Putin's Russian government.
When Ron Paul believes that Mutual Assured Destruction will deter Iran from attacking Israel and its western allies, he displays naïveté to the differences between the Communist atheist belief that there is no afterlife and it is in their best interests to avoid the termination of their worldly existence in a nuclear exchange, and an Islamist/Fascist State that reverently believe in the Mahdi, the 12th Imam of Shi'ite lore, and therefore considers it preferable to die as martyrs than to share the planet with the Western/Judeo/Christian world.
It was disturbing enough when the current White House occupant stabbed former Soviet bloc countries turned American allies Poland and the Czech Republic in their backs when he unilaterally cancelled missile defense shield deals they had made with the previous administration.: That occupy Oval Office was also so eager to abandon national security in favor of nuclear disarmament that he would voluntarily declassify the number of nuclear warheads the U.S. possesses demonstrates a dereliction of duty on his part as Commander in Chief of the United States of America.
Mitt Romney recently outlined plans that will make America energy independent through development of its own abundant natural resources and less susceptible to an increasingly aggressive Iran's impact on Middle East petroleum delivered through the Straits of Hormuz.
Romney has consistently condemned Iran for developing a nuclear bomb-capability.: When referring to Iranian President Ahmadinejad's statements against Israel Romney has said "There is one place of course where I'd welcome Ahmadinejad with open arms, and that's in a court where he would stand trial for incitement to genocide, under the terms of the Genocide Convention."
Romney also correctly identifies the threat posed to the west by Islamist/Fascist jihad as "the defining challenge of our generation."
Contrary to the opinion of Ali Mohaghegh, the future of the Middle East is not carved in stone, it is still being written.: How the next chapter reads depends largely on who is elected as the next President of the United States.

Griffin, Bigby and other IDP sleepers
Michael Griffin, Chris Long and other IDP sleepers for fantasy football
Not to be confused with the dually sad and disturbing Barry Levinson movie from '96, sleepers are elemental to the fantasy football experience. Few things are more enjoyable in this hobby than seeing one of your sleepers bloom into a statistical star.
Shrewd late-round investments can define your team's potential and make up for the early round blunders, injuries and plain bad luck that most of us must endure in the course of the long season. Having a soundly researched list of "cheap" prospects heading into your draft protects your team from the attrition of football. As the months wear on and our rosters erode, team depth is truly challenged. In fantasy, as in real football, it's often not who your perceived "best" three players are but rather your three "worst" that determine your fate, as a fantasy roster come December looks little like the September version.
There seems to be a saturation point of sorts with offensive fantasy sleepers, when continual mentions of promising talents like Beanie Wells and Donald Brown grows tiring. The definitive buzz generated around them come draft night means they're no longer worthy fringe considerations, but popular mid-round selections. On the IDP side, however, somnolent safeties remain unspoiled along with lethargic linebackers.
Consider the players below valid value picks with the potential to provide a starter's production at a backup's price tag.
Defensive Backs
Madieu Williams, Vikings: After an injury-plagued first year in Minnesota, Williams enters the season with a criminally deflated fantasy price. While it's true that his glaring lack of durability, with just two 16-game campaigns in his first five seasons, is a major reason his value is so down, he does bear considerable upside. When healthy, "Mad Will" is a punishing enforcer on a productive and deep defense capable of tallying triple-digit tackles with a coveted blend of peripheral production.
Kenny Phillips, Giants: With a full season as a starter in the books and the trust of the staff going forward, Phillips is in an ideal situation to excel for those willing to take a flier on him. With the return of a healthy and improved defensive line and a retooled linebacker corps, Phillips will have rare freedom to take risks on the field and can be had at a discounted price.
Atari Bigby, Packers: "Atari 2600" was a top fantasy option in 2007 with a stellar statistical clip and an obviously awesome name. Last season was a different story, as injuries slowed him in the few games he did play and eventually sat him for the remainder of the season after just seven appearances. Healthy heading into the new season with a premier role in Dom Capers' new scheme that will likely see him playing closer to the box and involved in blitzing, thus netting more tackles and sacks, Bigby should re-emerge as a valued fantasy talent.
Jarrad Page, Chiefs: Much like fellow Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard, Page is a punishing hitter who racked up eight total turnovers (including recovered fumbles) in a quietly awesome fantasy season. Make note of the trend that safeties from poor rush defense teams often litter the fantasy rankings. Playing behind colander-like defensive lines makes for valuable defensive backs, particularly safeties like Page.
Michael Griffin, Titans: This rangy, ball-hawking safety out of Texas emerged as a valid fantasy star in his second season. His seven interceptions were tied for second best in the league and his proven production against both the run and pass should see him post another strong campaign as part of arguably the best secondary in football. Griffin could see a marked jump in tackle numbers thanks to the loss of the imposing Albert Haynesworth in the middle.
Defensive Line
Cliff Avril, Lions: The notable names may be on offense, but Avril is one of the Lions' most important young players. With a scintillating finish last season with four sacks and three forced fumbles in the final six contents, an improved front seven and a new, aggressive Gunther Cunningham-led defense, Avril could be the most enticing upside defensive lineman prospect this year.
Chris Long, Rams: Howie's boy has had his one grace year and now the expectations for peak production begin to materialize. If last season was a wash given the interim coach, lack of help on the line and depleted roster, then consider this Long's anticipated breakout campaign.
Jay Ratliff, Cowboys: A seventh-round gem out of Auburn, Ratliff emerged last season as a solid complimentary player to Greg Ellis and DeMarcus Ware. The salient element to extract from Ratliff's breakout season is the healthy tackle numbers he was able to post and the even spread of his sacks, proving that he can be of use over the course of a full season. Ratliff's value gets a boost if he's afforded both DE and DT eligibility since he's taken snaps from both spots in recent seasons.
Aaron Schobel, Bills: Now two years removed from his last trip to the Pro Bowl, Schobel must remain healthy and productive in order to keep his gig in the what have you done for me lately climate in the NFL. When he was at his best, Schobel consistently posted double-digit sacks with a stellar blend of tackles and forced fumbles. Hoping for a return to greatness might be a reach, but with talented rookie rusher Aaron Maybin in town, Schobel has legit help across the line for the first time in years.
Gaines Adams, Bucs: With a new staff and a completely overhauled defense, Adams is being asked to step up as the face of the franchise. While he's yet to prove consistent on the field, he has shown flashes of brilliance. In a division rife with talent at tailback and established passing games, it's time for Adams to earn his hefty contract.

James Laurinaitis, Rams: Tabbed as the starting middle 'backer for the Rams, the Ohio State import should excel from a fantasy perspective. Playing behind a weak interior defensive line and in front of a patchwork secondary should lead to a volume of tackle opportunities for the rookie, making him an ideal late sleeper pick to target.
Larry Foote, Lions: The crop of talented young linebackers in Pittsburgh pushed the veteran out but his fantasy value may actually see a bump as he moves to Detroit and takes the reigns manning the middle. Consider Paris Lenon's production last season as the Lions' middle man a benchmark, making Foote a compelling late-round value.
Lawrence Timmons, Steelers: The combination of the words Steelers and linebacker often make for fantasy goodness and when they're used to describe Timmons it's no exception. With the team moving from Larry to Lawrence, letting Foote leave so that Timmons could step in as a starter, fantasy owners should expect Timmons' numbers to swell with the increased snaps. Much like the prototypical 'backer in this Pittsburgh system, expect a number of huge games to go with a passable tackle rate from the young gunner.
Justin Durant, Jags: We're looking at the man in the middle, and his team is looking for him to change some plays. Forgive me, but that just had to be done. Durant is making the full-time switch to the middle for Jacksonville after ably playing on the outside last season. If you must know one thing about IDP leagues, it's that 4-3 middle linebackers are like feature tailbacks in that they are consistent lynchpins for your squad. Unlike a starting running back, you can net this starting middle 'backer with little risk and considerable rewards.
Andra Davis, Broncos: Davis is a former fantasy star who has seen his stock drop dramatically due to some decidedly down recent seasons in Cleveland. With a spot secured in Denver's tackle-friendly system and the freedom to pursue the ball from the inside of the Broncos' new 3-4 scheme, Davis should return to relevancy and to fantasy rosters.

I can't be arsed to keep up this list of what's in the fermenters, but hey, check out the cool brewery I own!
twitter.com/2kidsbrewing .. facebook.com/2kidsbrewing .. 2kidsbrewing.com
I brewed this up today. Things didn't go exactly as planned, but everything was fine in the end. I opted to mash for 90 minutes at 145F to get a more fermentable mash. I didn't account for an increase in efficiency, so I ended up with about a 78% conversion rate rather than the expected 75%. I figured I would just let it ride rather than trying to compensate. With a frigid wind blowing across the top of my boiling pot for most of the day, my boil off rater was much slower than normal, so over the course of a 90 minute boil I had an extra 0.5 gallons of wort. I planned for 5.5 gallons of wort with an O.G. of 1.052 and 40 IBUs, and ended up with 6.0 gallons of wort with an O.G. of 1.050 and 36 IBUs. Not what I planned, but still within spec. Now just to wait and see where the F.G. lands! Thanks all for your help. I'll post in about two weeks when I transfer to the secondary and take a sample.
Sounds like it went well 78% is not bad for a 75% target. It's likely with a 90 minuite mash that you had 100% conversion. The efficeny is 78% because some sugars are tied up in the grain.
For details see this:http://woodlandbrew.blogspot.com/201...ore-sugar.html
Or watch this:
The 2nd edition is now available: Brewing Engineering Woodland Brewing Research Blog Applied Science for Better Beer.
I'm interested to see how you do. I brewed a similar recipe (Jamil's) at 150 for 70 mins and followed his advice to pitch wyeast 2112 CA lager at 58 degrees and then (I'm using fermentation chamber) slowly ramp I up to 65 over the course of about 10 days. I also had 78% efficiency but had planned for 70% so my OG was too high at 1.061. 10 days into primary ferment and at 65 degrees I was at 1.025 (uggh). I increased to 66, gently roused the yeast. Today at 15 days it was about 1.020 (another uggh). Roused again and I'm raising to the top end of the recommended wyeast temp of 68 and will give it another week. I'm guessing I can't get to 1.014 for style but still too sweet at 1.020.
Good news on the mash temp. I used one thermometer to measure the strike water and another that I stuck in the mash tun after the water was added and let it in there for the duration of the mash. When I pulled it out, it read 152F, not the 145F I was shooting for. Not great, but it wouldn't have been the end of the world either. I just calibrated both thermometers with ice water and used an infrared thermometer as a third measurement. The thermometer used for the strike water and the infrared thermometer both read 28F. The thermometer used in the mash read 35F. Exactly 7F apart which means my mash was spot on at 145F.
I took a reading this evening, as the bubbling is beginning to slow. I'm down to 1.019 after 5 days. There's a bubble about once every 3 or 4 seconds now.

James Gosling Grades Oracle's Handling of Sun's Tech 223

To know Oracle is to hate Oracle.
An Oracle Field Engineer shared the secret meaning for the name, "oracle".
I think it's too early to tell, as James Gosling just lacks the experience most people are used to from those like him — there's still a lot left for him to learn from his father, industry veteran Jim Goose. Once his father retires, though, I think James will get to chance to really spread his wings, and we'll probably see some very good ideas of his take flight. For now, though, I think he's just a bit green around the beak.

lopsided lamp

Best Chandeliers for Your Home
Whether you like antique or contemporary styles, chandeliers can dress up many different rooms.

Best Light Fixtures for Making a Statement
Light fixtures can produce big design statements in a room. If something feels incomplete, even after you've decorated, chances are your lighting situation is to blame. Replacing a standard frosted glass pendant light or a boring brass chandelier with something unique and tailored for your style will pull together all the elements of a room and highlight the architecture of a home.
FAQs about Chandeliers and Pendants
Chandeliers and pendants have always been popular lighting options because they can highlight spaces and bring some pizzazz and sparkle to a room. The popularity of chandeliers and pendants has made Overstock.com's wide selection even wider and has probably left you with several questions about how to choose, hang and care for the right chandeliers and pendants. Read on to find the answers to these frequently asked questions.
Top 5 Chandelier Styles
Whether you are building your dream house or just sprucing up your current home, a chandelier is a great way to add ambiance and decoration to a room. Chandeliers and pendants aren't just for formal dining rooms. The right chandelier can look great in any room. Although chandeliers come in a wide variety of styles, let's start with the top five.
How to Select Kitchen Lighting
If your kitchen looks tired, why not update it with brand-new kitchen lighting? New kitchen pendant lights or a unique chandelier could be just what your space needs for a fresh makeover. In fact, the right kitchen light fixtures add that extra touch that makes a kitchen shine. Whether you want to install recessed kitchen lighting in your home or just want to update a few existing light fixtures, the following tips can help you find lighting that will last for years and keep your kitchen looking great.

4 Things to Consider When Buying Chandelier Earrings
You're wearing your favorite 1960s-inspired dress and a pair of cute wedge sandals, but something is missing. Add just the right amount of color and shine with a shimmery new pair of chandelier earrings. Chandelier earrings get their name from their design, which mimics elaborate chandelier light fixtures. They may have tiers of sparkling, swinging gemstones or they may have layers of hammered gold medallions. Each chandelier earring style is unique and offers a bold splash of style. They go great with dresses but can also be worn with jeans and suits. To choose the perfect pair of chandelier earrings, consider these important features.
Chandelier Trends
Looking for a way to simultaneously brighten and dress up your home? Chandeliers are the perfect solution. Chandeliers are available with many arms, multiple tiers, and shades as well as with more simple designs and streamlined structures. Look for a chandelier light with a large presence for a big room and one with a smaller profile to use in a diminutive room; the size of your chandelier doesn't matter, only its size in comparison to the rest of your home decor.
Top 5 Ways to Wear Citrine Chandelier Earrings
If you love to dress in dark, neutral colors year-round, then add some citrine chandelier earrings to your wardrobe. Citrine earrings will add bright, glowing light to any simple outfit without diluting the edginess you desire in your look. Like the sparkling yellow eyes of a beautiful owl in the night, citrine jewelry accents an outfit with rich yellow hues. Keep several pairs of lovely chandelier earrings handy, and it will be easy to accessorize jeans, dresses and skirts with this extravagant gemstone jewelry.
How to Choose a Chandelier
Chandeliers are more than just a way to illuminate a room. They add style and become part of the home decor. Like any decorative piece, the right chandelier can make a big difference in the look and feel of a room. A large or ornate chandelier will overwhelm a small living space, and a small, simple one will not look right in a formal dining room. Here's how to choose the best lighting for your home.
Buying Chandelier Lighting for Your Dining Room
Chandeliers are the ultimate statement piece in a house. From giant crystal chandeliers that hang from high ceilings to simple styles that reside over a family dining table, lighting fixtures have the ability to make a room glow. A chandelier that is not right for your space can seem weighed down and heavy. The wrong chandelier can also lack drama that helps make a room fabulous. If your chandelier is looking old and outdated, it might be time to update with a new style.
Best Places to Hang Mini Chandeliers
A glistening chandelier can add that little extra something to your home decor, but you don't need to go big to make a huge style statement. Mini chandeliers, sometimes called chandelettes, work well in a variety of settings and are a popular alternative to large, traditional chandeliers. Think of a mini chandelier as piece of jewelry for your home -- a little can go a long way. If you're not sure where you would use one, try hanging a mini chandelier in one of these places.
Why You Need Chandelier Earrings
If you adore fancy decor, then you will love chandelier earrings. When you enter a fancy ballroom, the first thing you see is the stunning chandelier glistening above your head. Chandelier earrings have the same effect on a smaller scale. Your eyes will automatically be drawn to the sparkling, dancing gems and shiny metal. If you're looking to expand your jewelry collection, consider earrings that look like miniature chandeliers. Many styles are available to bring color and shine to your earring assortment.
Best Styles in Drop Earrings
Classic and versatile, drop earrings may be paired with any wardrobe option to complete a look and add sparkle and shine. Drop earrings include a variety of style categories, including teardrop earrings, chandelier earrings and dangling earrings. Earrings with dangling gemstones, teardrops, charms and chandeliers go well with other jewelry selections and make great jewelry gifts. Choose teardrop earrings, dangling earrings, chandelier earrings and other drop earrings for your collection with our list of the best styles.
Craft and Book Light Buying Guide
Every task needs the right lighting. Whether you are finishing a needlepoint project or the latest bestseller, a craft lamp or book light can help you see what you are doing. If you are shopping for task lighting, think about how you plan to use it, and remember that some types of lights can do double duty.
Tips on Buying Light Fixtures for Your Kitchen
Make your kitchen a warm, comfortable room with the right lighting and ceiling fans. Since you spend a lot of time in your kitchen preparing and eating meals together with your family, you'll want this type of home lighting to be bright enough to see ingredients but cozy enough to make this room a fun gathering place.
