Documentary on Marathi actor late Arun Sarnaik released: As CM, Pawar allowed ‘Sinhasan' shooting in his cabin, in Mantralaya, says Jabbar Patel
When Sharad Pawar was the Chief Minister of Maharashtra in 1979, he had allowed the shooting of the iconic film 'Sinhasan' right in his cabin and even in the Mantralaya, despite objections from bureaucrats. This revelation was made by well-known theatre personality and film director Dr Jabbar Patel at the premiere of the documentary 'Pappa Sanga Kunache', chronicling the life of popular late Marathi actor Arun Sarnaik. 'It was the first time probably in the history of India and Maharashtra that a movie was shot in Mantralaya and bungalows of ministers. I don't think any Chief Minister in the country would have allowed a movie to be shot on the subject of politics and especially on the dispute between a Chief Minister and a Finance Minister. The full credit goes to Sharad I want to thank him for that,' said Patel at the Balgandharva Rangmandir auditorium in Pune on Saturday. Sinhasan, directed by Dr Jabbar Patel, is an Indian-Marathi political drama film that was released when Sharad Pawar was the Chief Minister. He then led the Progressive Democratic Government. The movie was written by journalist Arun Sadhu. The movie was about the fight between the Chief Minister and his Finance Minister, fighting for the CM's chair. Arun Sarnaik played the role of the chief minister 'The last scene of the movie regarding expansion of the cabin was shot right in the Chief Minister's cabin…,' said Patel highlighting how there were objections from the bureaucracy as the movie was related to political happenings, but Pawar over-ruled them. Dr Patel said he told Sharad Pawar that he would not shoot in the Chief Minister's cabin as it was not appropriate. 'To this, Sharad Pawar said why not ? He then called his personal assistant and sought to know his schedule. He then asked me how many days we would need for the shoot. I told him three days. He said 'I have other programmes next three days'… We then shot the last scene of the movie, regarding cabinet expansion in the Chief Minister's cabin,' recalled the director while describing Sharad Pawar as the most popular Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Dr Patel said the Secretariat was given on rent for two-and- a-half days on weekends. 'When we told Pawar to reduce the rent from Rs 4000 to Rs 2000, he promptly agreed,' he said. When Dr Patel was revealing the generous side of Sharad Pawar, the veteran politician who was seated among the crowd in the first row, smiled lightly. He however did not address the crowd. The organisers said he was not well. Dr. Patel also shared a memory of Arun Sarnaik attending a play that was written for him and praising the actor who played the lead role in Sinhasan. 'Arun Sarnaik's humility and kindness were evident in his willingness to attend the play and appreciate the actor's performance,' he said. The premiere of the documentary was dominated by speeches of Jabbar Patel and veteran actor Nana Patekar. There was a sort of duel between the two, which kept the jam-packed auditorium on the edge of their seats. Veteran actor Mohan Agashe shared his memories and experiences with Arun Sarnaik, which revealed the various facets of the actor and his charismatic personality. The documentary has been produced by his daughter Dr Savita Sarnaik-Naiknavare. Former minister Harshvardhan Patil, documentary director Dr. Santosh Pathare, Dr. Savita Sarnaik Naiknavare Ranjeet Manyavar and Neel Naiknavare were also present. Dr. Savita Sarnaik Naiknavare, spoke about her father's memories and shared some personal anecdotes. 'When I was growing old, I used to think whether my father belonged to me or God. As I grew older, I realized that Pappa wasn't just mine, but belonged to the audience, and he always will,' she said. 'While making the documentary, I used to get emotional. Even now, I have the same feeling…,' said Dr Savita. Recalling their days in Kolhapur, Dr Savita said, 'Whenever my pappa used to return home from shooting, he used to scream, Savi, Me Alo…(Savi I have returned). His voice was heard in the entire area, I used to feel shy and hide myself in the house. My pappa used to play carrom with my brother Sanjay whenever he was home. I used to disturb them but my father never got angry with me.' Both Jabbar Patel and Nana Patekar praised her speech. Patel said there was 'no melodrama' in her speech despite seeing so much pain in life. The documentary's director, Santosh Pathare, said, 'Since we didn't have a tradition of documentation in the past, making this documentary was a challenge. However, we tried to overcome this challenge by using available films, plays, photographs, and memories.' Praising Arun Sarnaik's acting style, Nana Patekar said, 'Ease was a hallmark of Sarnaik's acting, and such acting is an ideal to strive for. Arun Sarnaik taught us the golden meaning of acting in both film and theatre.' Dr. Mohan Agashe shared his experiences of working with Arun Sarnaik and praised his humility and simplicity. The event concluded with the announcement of the Arun Sarnaik Scholarship, which will be awarded to talented actors and singers from Kolhapur. The scholarship will be given away by the Sarnaik and Naiknavare families. Neil Naiknavare proposed the vote of thanks, and Swati Rajee anchored the program. Ratna Chauhan welcomed the gathering.

He has also written aggressively on local gondaism. He has primarily written civic stories from Pimpri-Chinchwad, Khadki, Maval and some parts of Pune. He has also covered stories from Kolhapur, Satara, Solapur, Sangli, Ahmednagar and Latur. He has had maximum impact stories from Pimpri-Chinchwad industrial city which he has covered extensively for the last three decades. Manoj More has written over 20,000 stories. 10,000 of which are byline stories. Most of the stories pertain to civic issues and political ones. The biggest achievement of his career is getting a nearly two kilometre road done on Pune-Mumbai highway in Khadki in 2006. He wrote stories on the state of roads since 1997. In 10 years, nearly 200 two-wheeler riders had died in accidents due to the pathetic state of the road. The local cantonment board could not get the road redone as it lacked funds. The then PMC commissioner Pravin Pardeshi took the initiative, went out of his way and made the Khadki road by spending Rs 23 crore from JNNURM Funds. In the next 10 years after the road was made by the PMC, less than 10 citizens had died, effectively saving more than 100 lives. Manoj More's campaign against tree cutting on Pune-Mumbai highway in 1999 and Pune-Nashik highway in 2004 saved 2000 trees. During Covid, over 50 doctors were asked to pay Rs 30 lakh each for getting a job with PCMC. The PCMC administration alerted Manoj More who did a story on the subject, asking then corporators how much money they story worked as doctors got the job without paying a single paisa. Manoj More has also covered the "Latur drought" situation in 2015 when a "Latur water train" created quite a buzz in Maharashtra. He also covered the Malin tragedy where over 150 villagers had died.

Aadujeevitham lost out at National Awards as performances 'didn't feel authentic', reveals jury member
'Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life', directed by Blessy, failed to secure a single National Award this year, sparking surprise among fans and critics. Now, jury member Pradeep Nair has revealed that the film was indeed under serious consideration, but fell short during final deliberations—largely due to concerns raised by Jury Chairperson Ashutosh Gowariker. Speaking to Onmanorama, Nair explained, 'Jury Chairperson Ashutosh Gowariker had seen the movie at a previous film festival in Goa and had serious concerns about the film's adaptation and execution. Gowariker and others also felt the adaptation lacked naturality and the performances didn't feel authentic.' Despite early praise, these factors reportedly weighed heavily during the jury's final discussions, ultimately leading to the film's omission from the winners' list. The film had also been in contention for awards in the Best Male Playback Singer and Best Lyrics categories, particularly for the song Periyone Rahmane penned by Rafeeq Ahammed. However, the lack of an accurate English translation of the lyrics—required for jury evaluation—led to its disqualification. 'K R Gokul's character was widely appreciated by the jury for its freshness and impact. Still, he was not awarded as categories also considered the overall quality of the film,' Nair added. Gokul played the role of Hakim in the survival drama. The Best Male Playback Singer award eventually went to Rohit for Premisthunna in 'Baby', while Best Lyrics was awarded to Kasarla Shyam for 'Ooru Palleturu' from 'Balagam'. The revelations have ignited fresh debate over jury criteria and highlight how technicalities and subjective interpretation can sway even the most promising contenders.

Hanging by a Thread
For many Indians — and it is a common experience for most college students — a conversation about caste is often a conversation only about reservations. Why reservation in education and jobs for people from historically backward castes is wrong? Or why is it right? Writer-director Akshay Parvatkar, 30, has had that experience all his life, and it became the fuel for his impassioned story in 'Hanging by a Thread', a film that ends with a rousing Dalit poem entreating and evoking the end of caste by Goa's poet-politician Vishnu Surya Wag. 'I got admission into college through reservation, but caste was never a big factor for me growing up. My father, a teacher, and mother, who had a government job, kept me shielded from the idea that society may see me differently because of my caste. But in my adult life, I have come across so many people who see caste only as that which allows for reservation. After hearing so much about caste from that lens, I also began to see my life differently. But the point is, there is caste everywhere in India,' Parvatkar, who now works as a writer and director in Mumbai, says. Caste has been unpalatable to Mumbai's film producers and cinema lovers, which perhaps explains why there are so few Bollywood films about caste. Nagraj Manjula's blockbuster Marathi film 'Sairat' (2016), which steered an inter-caste love story with a winning combination of realism and crowd-pleasing aesthetics and music, is an outlier. Neeraj Ghaywan ('Masaan', 'Geeli Poochi' in the anthology 'Ajeeb Daastaans', 'Homebound') is another director who has openly talked about his own Dalit identity and made caste an effective propeller in his films. Parvatkar takes a linear, no-fuss approach in his film language — depending equally on high-pitched drama and literal messaging to deliver his message. Rohit (Saiesh Sonawane) and Aditya (Ved Amonkar), two teenaged boys and best friends, play football at a neighbourhood field with boys older than them. When Rohit notices that the boys who wear a Hindu sacred thread — the Brahmin insignia handed down over several centuries — get different, more favourable treatment from the older boys who call the shots on field, Rohit decides to make a sacred thread for himself. What follows is a shame storm, culminating in blood-drenched thread hanging over a toilet, and a mother-son moment that conveniently sets the identity story right for Rohit — 'Caste doesn't define you,' his mom consoles, in lyrical Konkani. A still from the movie 'Hanging by the Thread'. The film has a distinct look and feel — the field has the danger and unpredictability of a battlefield, and the interiors of Rohit's unpretentious flat (the family home of the filmmaker) are a canvas for the awkward, tense build-up of unspoken caste consciousness in the Dalit family to which Rohit belongs. Cinematographer Abhiraj Rawale captures the smallest detail of the home, including a whirring Usha sewing machine, which becomes a symbol of labour, industriousness and even antiquity — qualities that the writer-director suffuses his writing with, when it comes to portraying what Indian society considers 'low caste'. After completing his education in Goa, Parvatkar decided to make a career out of his amateur storytelling and dramatics, which he chiselled through his college days. Made with a grant from the Museum of Goa and later funding from a Konkani writer-producer based in London, 'Hanging by a Thread' is Parvatkar's first professional work. 'I got together Goan film professionals who work in Mumbai and elsewhere, and made it like a guerrilla project. Because there are hardly any Konkani language films, it became about doing something that hasn't been done much. It kept the group motivated,' Parvatkar says. A moment from the movie. Earlier, Parvatkar has made the documentary 'Grandmother's School' (2020), about a one-of-a-kind school in Maharashtra's Fangane district, which is meant only for grandmothers to study in. His other film is a mockumentary 'The First Wedding' (2020), which subverted the hetero-normative stereotype by setting the story in a way that makes a heterosexual couple the outsider in a world in which homosexuality is the norm and celebrating 'the first heterosexual couple's wedding' the politically correct thing to do. At present, Parvatkar is at work on his next film, about the heady chaos of a woman unfolding on the day of her twenty-eighth birthday. 'Hanging by a Thread' continues to be screened at various venues across India, having premiered at the International Film Festival of India in Goa in 2024. 'Some festivals have rejected this film on the point of subtlety. It is not subtle about its message that caste is outdated and needs to be flushed out, and I meant the drama to be in-your-face, that was the point,' Parvatkar says. And some reposes have overwhelmed the filmmaker — 'Once a man came up to me after a screening and said he once did what the protagonist does in the film — make a sacred thread for himself to wear.' A scene from 'Hanging by the Thread'. In a world fast leaping into tech-fuelled utopia — or dystopia, however you look at it — seemingly insular to small details of real-life hustles, a film like 'Hanging by a Thread' at first seems quaint. It then reminds you that we live simultaneously in different ages. Even now, a boy who wants to kick a ball and score a goal can be intrigued by how a thread around his torso could upgrade his life in small but significant ways.
