MOVIE - Harishchandrachi Factory

Wow... its been a while since I have watched a Marathi movie. The last movies I saw was that of Dada Kondke in early 90's. Lately I have been hearing a lot about good Marathi movies being made, so finally I decided to watch "Harishchandrachi Factory" and after watching it I have to say "What a movie...".

The movie is based upon the life of Indian producer-director-screenwriter, known as the father of Indian cinema, Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, popularly known as Dadasaheb Phalke. It depicts the struggle of Dadasaheb Phalke in making Raja Harishchandra in 1913. The movie is well-written, well-directed and it gives you a great insight of how Bollywood world's largest and richest movie industry got started.


For those who do not understand Marathi, the movie has been released with English sub-titles. The movie is not at all boring, its fast paced and funny. It's a must watch and here are my ratings for this movie:

Story Line - 4.5 out of 5
Comedy - 4 out of 5
Action - NA
Casting - 2 out 5
Should I take time to watch this movie - "Absolutely YES"

So other Marathi movies that I have heard are good but I am yet to watch are:
- Me Shivajirao Bolto Aahe
- Shikshanacha Aaicha Gho!

Happy Watching!!!

What to expect?

For last couple of years I have seen many of my friends use blogs to express their views, opinions on various topics and share knowledge in some instance. I have always been inspired by the concept of blogging but never started with it.

Now that I want to start blogging, I could not think of anything specific that I would like to about. I thought of many topics like books, movies, gadgets, travel, friends, charity work, etc.... but could not agree on anything. Finally I said how about everything!

Hence the name "Masala Blog". Here you are going to find me discussing all kinds of topics. I hope you enjoy my reading and would like to encourage feedback from everyone.

Now I will leave you with a short definition for "Masala" - "It generally refers to a hodge-podge of elements mixed together to add spice to the final product."

Enjoy!!!
