Its happy days for Marathi cinema in Bollywood as we see it’s going places. ‘Swas’, Harishchandrachi Factory’ made the academy recognize the Marathi talent in filmmaking.
In the Bollywood blockbuster ‘My Name Is Khan’ SRK meets the president, but ‘Jhing Chik Jhing’ goes further.
Through this film, eminent agriculturist Dr. Vandana Shiva will be supporting the plight of the farmers. She plans to show the film to Prince Charles, First Lady of USA Michelle Obama and the Prime Minister of Spain, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. The director also plans to take the film to rural areas and screen it there. "If I could bring about a small difference to the lives of the farmers, it would be great," he adds
Based on the rising number of farmer suicides, ‘Jhing Chik Jhing’ is one such film which strives to depict this issue in a sensitive manner. Shishir Kulkarni, Shirish Raut, Harini Kalamur and Pushpank Gawade has produced the film under the banner of Cogito Entertainment.
The movie has won many accolades like Zee Gaurav for best Story (Nitin Nandan), Sanskruti Kala Darpan for best Actress (Madhavi Juvekar) and Best Child Artist (Chinmay Kambli) and Maharashtra Times Sanman for Best Actor (Bharat Jadhav), Best Child Artist (Chinmay Kambli).
The movie has achieved 8 nominations in Maharashtra State Award.
The cast also includes prominent names from the Marathi film industry such as Dilip Prabhavalkar, Sanjay Mone and Aarti More. The story and script have been written by Nitin Nandan, who has also directed the film.
Nandan says though earlier many films have been made on the farmer's suicide, his approach is completely different. "Jhing Chik Jhing stands out differently from other films on the same subject because it inspires the viewer to take a progressive and sustainable path. I have consciously tried not to make a capitalize on the issue. Along with farmers consumers also should be encouraged to trade organic path. The film addresses both the worlds."
Great going…. we say.
