Marathi film Saath Sobat’s trailer launched

The trailer of the upcoming Marathi film Saath Sobat, which follows the release of its popular teaser, was released today at the Famous Cine Laboratories’ mini-theatre, at Mahalaxmi, Mumbai. This trailer gives an indication of what the audience will actually get to see and explains the true meaning of the words, Saath Sobat. Saath Sobat will be released on January 13, 2023.

The ceremony was attended by several dignitaries, including artistes and technicians. Presented by Prasanna Vaidya, Saath Sobat is produced by Dhanji Maru, under the banner Maru Enterprises. It is written and directed by Ramesh More, who has earned acclaim for films like

Mahasatta 2008, Swatantrachi Aisi Taisi 2009, Champions 2010 (national award), Amhi ka Tisre 2011, Sur Rahu De 2012, Shoor Amhi Sardar 2013 and Anandi 2014. Sameer Dixit and Rishikesh Bhirangi of Pickle Entertainment will look after the distribution of Saath Sobat film across Maharashtra.

'Kadhi tari kevha tari vata haravlya...' is a song that depicts life through words. The song also features veteran actor-director Rajdutt, who is all of 80 years old now. After watching the trailer, one gets the impression that the story of this film will convey some important message to the audience, along with the scenic beauty of the Konkan region of Maharashtra.

Sangram Samel, who has worked in three mediums such as serials, films and plays, is playing the lead role in the film, paired with debutant Mrunal Kulkarni (young namesake of the 51 year-old veteran). Apart from this, Rajdutt, Mohan Joshi, Anil Gavas, Amol Redij, Dilip Asurdekar are the actors in this film. Mohan Joshi could not attend the event due to ill health.

Harshal Kantak has done the cinematography and Abhishek Mhaskar has done the editing. Yashshree More has written the lyrics for this film. Along with music direction, Mahesh Naik has also given background music for this film. Mahesh, who was present, must have scored the background music of 5,000-10,000 TV episodes and should feature in the Guinness Book of World Records. The costumes and getup are done by Yashshree More, who plays a ‘triple role’, and the makeup has been done by Santosh Chari and Satish Bhavsar. Meenal Ghag has handled the hairdressing along with the dance choreography, while the art direction has been done by Prakash Kamble. Executive producers of Saath Sobat are Kaushik Maru and Yashshree More.

Dhanji Maru, who is Mumbai-born, surprised everybody by speaking in fluent Marathi, although his mother tongue is Gujarati. Ramesh More shared with the audience in a lighter vein that the fact that the trophies in his home, seen when he was visited by Maru, must have convinced him to agree to produce the film. Talking of the film’s subject, he said that since the young men and women of Konkan are all settled in Mumbai, he felt that there must be only old men and women left there. Then he heard of a medical service provided by two generations of doctors, and that helped him formulate the story. Mrunal Kulkarni entreated the audience to watch the film on the big screen, for Saath Sobat deserved to be watched in a cinema hall. Dilip Asurdekar could not tire of showering praise on Rajdatt, who he found be humble beyond belief.
