The Zee Studios presentation, Dashavatar, written and directed by #SubodhKhanolkar, is receiving an overwhelming response from audiences. After a smashing opening week with #housefull shows, the film’s craze has not dipped even in its third week—on the contrary, it continues to grow stronger day by day. More than just box-office success, the film has won hearts with its compelling storytelling, impactful execution, powerful performances, and deep cultural connect.

There has long been a complaint that Marathi films rarely get screens in Mumbai’s prime locations. Even if they do, they don’t last long. But Dashavatar has broken this pattern, running housefull shows for three consecutive weeks at iconic theatres like Maratha Mandir, Roxy, Sterling, Eros, Regal, Inox, Palladium PVR, Kasturba, and Milap. Normally dominated by Hindi, English, or Gujarati films, these venues have seen Marathi audiences turn out in huge numbers—alongside a surprising influx of non-Marathi viewers too. This, indeed, is a matter of pride for Marathi cinema.

Even more remarkable is the film’s phenomenal success in Konkan. Traditionally, films—even big-budget Bollywood releases—rarely see housefull shows in the region. But Dashavatar has rewritten the trend. In towns like Sindhudurg, Ratnagiri, Kudal, Sawantwadi, Pen, Kankavli, Mahad, and Chiplun, every single theatre screening the film has seen an enthusiastic response. Rooted in themes of environment, nature, the people of Konkan, and the folk art of Dashavatar, the film has resonated so deeply with local audiences that many have expressed, “After a long time, we are watching a film that truly tells the story of our land and our art.”

The film has not only earned big at the box office but has also sparked a movement among the people. In Konkan, locals are now taking greater initiative to protect land, sacred groves, and nature. Awareness about rock carvings and their preservation has grown. The folk art form of Dashavatar, which forms the foundation of the film, and the artists who perform it, have gained newfound recognition and revival. By breaking the lull in Marathi cinema, Dashavatar has become a landmark film showcasing the strength and power of Marathi storytelling.

Presented by Zee Studios and produced by Ocean Film Company and Ocean Art House, the film is written and directed by Subodh Khanolkar. Producers include Sujay Hande, Omkar Kate, Ashok Hande, Aditya Joshi, Nitin Sahasrabuddhe, Mrunal Sahasrabuddhe, Sanjay Dubey, and Vinayak Joshi, with Ajit Bhure as the creative producer. The stellar cast features Dilip Prabhavalkar, Siddharth Menon, Priyadarshini Indalkar, Mahesh Manjrekar, Bharat Jadhav, Vijay Kenkare, Sunil Tawde, Ravi Kale, Lokesh Mittal, Abhinay Berde, and Aarti Wadagbalkar in significant roles.

Prathamesh Parab : Though ‘Takatak’ is a sex comedy, it’s not vulgar and could be watched with family

CineBuster Online | Updated — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 12:04:30 +0000

Prathamesh Parab debuted marathi films with ‘Balak Palak’ but with ‘Timepass’ he rose to stardom. He has always entertained the audience with his quality films. In 2019, his film Takatak hit the bulls eye at the box office. Now it’s gearing up for a World Television Premiere on Zee Talkies on 26th July, ‘20. Prathamesh Parab spoke to Cinebuster. Excerpts…..

‘Takatak’ did extremely well at the box office and won many awards, What was your reaction ?

Takatak is a very special movie for me. I expected people to like this movie but I didn’t think it would be such a huge hit. The audience just fell in love with Takatak, which is why Takatak was able to earn so much at the box office. I still remember, we did a lot of promotion the day before Takatak was screened. I came home at night and hit the bed and when woke up in the morning, there were 25 missed calls. Everyone told me all the shows are running housefull. The 9 a.m. show was not expected to be housefull, but it did. We really enjoyed the success of the movie. We all, the entire cast and crew, celebrated the success of the movie, watching the film with the audience. Watching ‘Housefull’ board at the theatre was most satisfying and engrossing.

What do you think is the definition of love? How do you relate to your character in real life ?

Love without expectation is much stronger. Ganesh Baburao Thoke from Takatak also feels the same. Without any expectation, he stands firmly behind his girlfriend, Mini. To love and be with a person without expecting anything in return is my definition of love.

What does your character‘s, Ganesh Baburao Thoke’s, advice to viewers, in these difficult times ?

On behalf of Ganesh Baburao Thoke, I would like to tell all my Single friends to not to worry. Wherever your ‘Mini’ is, stuck in lockdown, will come around after these corona-infected times. You are destined to meet her, so just chill and have patience. When you meet her, after the lockdown, then you can shower your love double, triple times. She is bound to get impressed. Also never impose yourself on anyone.

Zee Talkies is having a “World Television Premiere” of Takatak. What you’ll tell the audience about this ? And how are you going to spend your day?

News about ‘Takatak’ world television premiere on Zee Talkies is mesmerising as Zee has huge viewership and the film would reach to the nook and corner of Maharashtra and other places around the world. Though it’s a sex comedy, I urge you all to watch this movie with your family, because there’s nothing vulgar in the film. About how I’ll be spending Sunday, 26th, i am going to spend it with my family watching Takatak. It’s a lockdown time otherwise i would have invited my entire extended family to my home for a grand get together. Takatak is a stress buster and everyone should watch it even if you are working from home.

Everyone is facing lockdown during Covid 19 pandemic. Any ‘Takatak’ moment during lockdown ?

Takatak is a marathi slang which means delectable, delightful, highly pleasing. My Takatak moment during lockdown could be shifting to my new abode during this period. Actually I was to shift before the lockdown was announced but I was getting interior designing done. But announcement of lockdown brought everything to a standstill but with during unlock phase I shifted to my new home and am enjoying it. Also I am going to enjoy the World Television Premiere of Takatak in my new home with my entire family. And I assure all the viewers that though ‘Takatak’ is a sex comedy, it’s not vulgar and could be watched with family.
