Mithali Mathkar, Zee Media, Mumbai: Humor isn’t just to make you laugh, but sometimes when a comment on something serious, important or irrelevant is intentionally based on humor rather than being direct and easy… because the impact is deep. . If you simply say what you want to say, it is often less likely to be sharp. That is, no matter how important it is to be said, because its nature is clear, the audience-reader already practices it. The mind prepares. As a result, its intensity decreases. But if the same subject matter is told in a slightly different way with a smile then the effect is straightforward… makes you think… it’s ‘black humour’. I had the same experience more strongly.
The film is based on the story of Jayant Pawar – ‘Six hundred seventy two rupees question, i.e. war aamre suru’. Actually, its ‘black humour’ grips us while reading this story. If this story is read casually, the major parts of it can easily go unnoticed. Because the story is humorous, it soon turns out to be a comic story, but under the guise of this comic style, Jayant Pawar has made strong social commentary.
In the story, the same ‘Black Humor’ director Sameer Patil has captured it well in the film ‘Bhau-Bali’. In fact, it is beginning to appear more prominently in cinema. It is exposed through small incidents. There are many such scenes in the film, which can easily make the audience laugh… but those scenes should not be taken lightly. The implication within that is that the same events unfold.
The story of the film is about the conflict between Bhau Avalaskar and Bali Jangam. This dispute has started over a bill. It is not known when this war between the brother and the victim, which started with the dilemma of ‘bill given or not’, exposes the socio-cultural gap between the flat culture and the slums. But all this happens with black humour. Jayant Pawar’s original story director Sameer Patil has also kept the overall setting of the film humorous. But care has been taken to ensure that the serious material is not lost.
We meet almost all the characters in the story in the film. Also, the characters of Kishore Kadam, Manoj Joshi, Rasika Agashe, Hrishikesh Joshi are well remembered. Jayant Pawar himself wrote the script and dialogues of his film and the character has landed on his own. But the actors who played these characters in the film have also found the vein of these characters.
The brothers and victims of this story-film are actually all around us and there is a constant war going on between them at different levels. Only whose side we are on in this battle is important!
