The political murder mystery delves into some fundamental questions about life. Life is a battle for survival and
everyone has his own vested interest to serve – which is why it is not possible to predict how a person would react to
a situation, just on the basis of his outer appearance and behaviour. One is often forced to ask – is this the real face of
the person or is there another face behind it? If it is impossible to lead a life without faith and trust, what should one
trust – the real face of a person or the face that masks his real face?

in pursuit of pleasure, caring little about the huge industrial estate his father has left behind as his legacy. With no one
keeping a check on them, the corrupt employees of the company siphon off huge amounts for their own benefit.
One day, while pursuing a young girl in his friend's car, Mahesh ends up injuring his old school teacher accidentally.
He brings the old man home and gets his injuries treated. He offers the teacher some money, which the old man
refuses to take, saying that the school building needed the money more than him. However, when Mahesh offers to
donate a huge amount to the school building fund, the teacher again refuses to accept it. He tells Mahesh that he
doesn’t want his father's money, but if Mahesh really wanted to help the school, he should earn some money on his
own to donate it. He warns Mahesh that the task in hand is easier said than done and it would be greatly difficult for
him to get work without using his father's name. Mahesh takes up the task as a challenge.

Kisna is doing only what he knows best, toil hard, get a crop, pray that rains will be on his side at least this year, sell his
product and prepare for the next season. The question though, is how long can he keep trying, with little or almost no
profits to show for his efforts. This is a story about simple aspirations, the undying urge in the human race…to live and
to live against all odds. In spite of this basic instinct, these farmers still choose to end their lives and the toil keeps on

Dinkar Maruti Bhonsle represents thousands of 'Marathis' who feel they have lost their identity in the cosmopolitan
Mumbai. Dinkar feels Mumbai is in Maharashtra but there is no Maharashtra left in Mumbai. He always complains
about the lack of respect a Marathi receives in Mumbai and feels he is victimized everywhere because he is a Marathi;
little realizing that he himself has brought this situation upon himself.
In a state of sheer frustration Dinkar gets up one day cursing himself for being born a Marathi. He feels his ancestors
must have committed a heinous crime for him to be born a Marathi.
These outbursts of Dinkar reach Pratapgad and the spirit of Shivaji Maharaj is aroused. Dinkar has to now face a
seething Shivaji Maharaj, who is furious at him. Shivaji Maharaj fires Dinkar for his shallow thinking and tells him he
has to command respect, not demand it. He blames Dinkar’s thinking for the sorry state of Marathis. “Before blaming
other communities for your short comings, look within and see if you have done anything to keep the Marathi pride
intact,” he roars.
Dinkar realizes his mistake but does Shivaji Maharaja’s thought arouse him to rectify his mistakes? The film ends with
Bhonsle gladly returning the sword at the shrine of Shivaji Maharaj.

"Tukaram" was born in 1608 in Dehu, a village near Pune to a family who were devoted followers of the deity Vitthal
or Vithoba (a form of Lord Vishnu, the Preserver in the Hindu Trinity). The family belonged to the Kunbi caste, they
were moneylenders and traders by profession.
'Tukaram' had a very normal childhood. He was fascinated with Lord Vitthal who he claimed as his dear friend. He was
a very innocent and generous kid and would freely park with his toys or personal belongings with his friends. As he
grews up he takes up the family responsibility as his elder brother is not interested in the material world and is drawn
completely towards spiritual pursuits. When his first wife 'Rakhma' is unable to bear a child, he bows to his family's
wishes and marries 'Aavli'. Tuka tries to become a good son and husband but the arrival of a major famine destroys this
beautiful picture. He loses both his parents, his sister-in-law (brother's wife) dies and his elder brother 'Savji' abandons
home. His first wife and son die too; during this hopeless atmosphere of a terrible three-year-long famine, 'Tukaram'
realizes that the perennial treasure of God's grace is far more valuable than ephemeral worldly riches and he shifts his
focus to divine worship. He does not choose to quit his responsibilities though and follow a solitary path.
Instead, he feels it is more important to try and reduce the sorrows of the people around him. For him, being 'a good
human being' is as vital as being a good son, friend or husband.

The entire family of Bhau Kemkar lives on hope. They are so over-optimistic that they often disregard the hard reality
of life. The family comprises Bhau who is a bank manager, his school-teacher wife, an older son Vivek who works with
an architect, younger son Sandeep who works in a finance company, college-going daughter Jui, Vivek's wife Rama
(the daughter in law) and their little son.
They are an extremely loving family and each member has big dreams for the other. Rama, however, is an exception
to this. A typical Pune-ite, she is free-spoken and practical. Although she is good at heart, it irritates her that her family
members constantly build castles in the air. Her attempts to make them face reality fall in vain. One day, the family is
faced with a severe crisis. At such a critical time, Rama sets her differences aside and stands like a rock behind the
family.

In the small village of kusavde’, Valu, the wild bull is at loose and is blamed for every single act of chaos and
destruction that happens in and around the village. Now catching the bull becomes equivalent to
establishing power in the village for the leaders and for those who are interested in the fringe benefits.
A forest officer is called from the city to catch the bull. And what we go through is roller-coaster ride, with
the war between the two leaders; love-stories that bloom in the midst of the adventurers; an amateur
filmmaker who struggles to shoot a documentary; the forest officer who leads this chaos like a sacred
mission; along with the religious priest; the tricksters, and mad woman who seems to understand the
mind of Valu!
The film is complex yet amusingly hilarious allegory, where The Valu represents the free will. The film
touches you with its simple ‘slice of life’ treatment full of sensitivity and insight.

By the time we learn to live, life is gone. This is a central idea behind "Kora Kagaz". Archana, an educated daughter of
retired Principal, loves and learns to love a Professor Sukhesh. This love born out of intellectual impact, supported by
the fond hopes of her father leads to matrimonial alliance. Archana's mother is of a different class with materialistic
notions of life and she too unwillingly gives her consent to the marriage of her daughter. Seeds of marital love have
not yet flowered into sweet joys of wedlock when whims and egoes of Archana and Sukhesh start clashing. Though a
dutiful loving wife of a sweet husband, Archana is very much the daughter of her mother, who with all good
intentions intervenes in the day to day life of the couple.
Understanding leads to mis-understandings and the lovers start mis-interpreting each other's sentiments. This
ultimately leads to break in marriage- hence the ultimate- eventual separation. Could this tragedy be averted? How
and when the wisdom dawns on lovers when all is lost? Should mothers of daughters behave as Archana's mother
did? Can intellectuals lovers succeed in enjoying marriage bliss- are issues answered in ''Kora Kagaz"? The film is a
lesson in Love and Marriage.

This classic film chronicles the life of Tukaram (17th C.), one of Maharashtra's most popular saint poets, activating the

constituted the first major emancipatory movement against brahmanical caste domination. The episodic plot pits
Tukaram (Pagnis) against the Brahmin Salomalo (Bhagwat), who pretends to be the true author of Tukaram's songs
while calling for his ostracization.

DRAMAS
One of Vijay Tendulkar’s most controversial plays, Sakharam Binder was first staged in 1974. It tells the story of the
book-binder Sakharam who takes home a series of women after they have been thrown out of their homes by their
respective husbands.
In return for providing shelter, Sakharam exploits the women by getting them to perform household tasks and
occasionally, for sexual favours. The play opens with the seventh woman Laxmi who is docile and timid by nature.
After exploiting her for a few days, Sakharam throws her out and brings the next woman Champa who is flamboyant
and head-strong. Things get complicated after a few days when Laxmi returns. What follows is a succession of
unexpected events which culminate into a dramatic end.

The play is political and social satire on meddle-class society’s hypocrisy.
It is set as a play-within-a-play, where a travelling amateur theatre group, makes an unscheduled stop at a village.
There to pass time the cast members stage a mock trial, of a fellow cast member, Miss Leela Benare, who is unmarried,
sexually exploited and had earlier aborted a child to keep her honour.
During the course of the play, she is ‘charged’ of child abortion (Broon Hatya), and as the charges get more vicious and
personal, she can’t take them anymore, as she is reminded of her predicament.
Finally she breaks down, revealing the true story behind it all, and also the hegemony and hypocrisy of male cast
members comes into the light, who like their counterpart in the society are not blameless themselves, while they still
find it easy to point fingers at a woman’s character.
