ravishingravi Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 4sc8z7zav9A The cinephile in me felt content after long long time. This was one of the best movies I have seen from India. Shot in a more cold, distant european style but with poignancy and satire that maharashtrian literary and art always carries. For me, the marathi movies I have seen in last 1 year completely justifies State govt's decision to ask multiplexes to screen marathi movie during prime time. They are so far ahead of the curve, they have to be protected at any cost tweaker 1
Yoda-esque Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 Heard great things about this one. Fandry was another such film that was good and won a few awards tweaker 1

They do not have the muscle power of UTV or Yashraj to block all screens. This is where they need to be supported.

But there should no govt intervention into their businesses. Let the independent movie makers compete in the free market just like everybody else. There can be no case made for Govt protectionism . If their product is good enough , people will pay for it.

As per the clause in 2010, Multiplexes needed to show at least one Marathi film per day which was circumvented by them having matinee timings. If films are getting international recognition, no harm in having one film at primetime .Its a kick start that good cinema is getting. As mentioned earlier,France and S.Korea also indulge in this protectionism and have benefitted .

Nothing like a free lunch. vilasrao Deshmukh gave them tax breaks in 2008. Multiplexes did not keep their end. Some of these new multiplexes have 20 screens. GOM is requesting 1 screen to show prime time shows.

G_B_ Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 I don't get it. If there are 20 screens and Marathi films are good then why will they not show them on prime time if there is demand. The issue of demand is secondary. You want tax breaks , do what the government asks of you. Want to pay full tax. By all means go ahead and show whatever you want.

How much money big banner pay to multiplexes, from past few months most of films are falling flat Money no money they have to show them . I live in Gurgaon and even good punjabi films will even get prime time in few multiplexes. even though Punjabi is not state langauage and very few punjabi's live here, how come mumbai where there are sizeable population of marathi's don't have marathi movies in prime time?

In the 1970s etc Marathi movies concentrated on real life core issues. They were forced to go low brow and cater to the lowest common denominator due to lack of funds. The only marathi movie i remember in even the 90s was Zapatlela. That was a really **** remake of doll of chucky. There has been a drastic upswing in quality in the last 10 years. Deool Lalbagh parel Tingya etc etc I really loved Tingya Secondly i would say Marathi entertainment culture more revolved around nataks or plays in theatres (not cinema) and not a film industry.

Yoda-esque Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 18 International awards thus far and a 100% on rotten tomatoes. This is one film I am really looking forward to. The 29 year old director is already being hailed a genius. DdTr2riRa9M
Texan Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Watched Court. Fantastic movie that any movie lover who loves realistic cinema must watch - Marathi or not. I think this is definitely the best black comedy-drama I have seen since Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron. tweaker 1
Yoda-esque Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) As predicted, Marathi films giving plenty of competition to Bollywood.The latest film "Katyar Kalzat Ghusli" has taken business away from PRDP and "Natsamrat" has raked in plenty of money as well.Bollywood should go back to Delhi,their theatrics and melodrama seem more in line with the Dillijan's ethos.
