Aamhi Satpute
Aamhi Satpute Movie Review
Success has become a habit with him. Sachin Pilgaonkar has never gone wrong with his directorial ventures starting with Mai Baap in 1982 to his last release Navra Mazha Navsacha in 2004 which was a big hit . Now the maker is ready with the Marathi version of the 1954-film Seven Brides For Seven Brothers. Aamhi Satpute he says is just an inspiration of that film and is heavily flavoured with the native touch.
"After Navra Mazha Navsacha, Ashutosh Gowarikar came up with the idea of a film on the lines of Seven Brides … to be made in Marathi. He suggested that I give it a thought and said if I was not too keen he would make it after the completion of Jodhaa Akbar,” says Sachin who after pondering over the idea for some days decided to make it himself since he was a part of its Hindi version Satte Pe Satta in 1982. “I played Sunny, the youngest of the seven brothers in that film. It is one of my favourite films,” he smiled. Aamhi Satpute, he says, is just his interpretation of the original film. It took him two years to work on the script as he got busy with the Kannada film Ekadanta starring Vishnuvardhan, Ramesh Aravind and Prema in between. He had to work on script of Aamhi Satpute as it required a rustic feel to it as he is making it for the Marathi audience and going by the present taste of the viewers, he has incorporated a lot of technology including the latest, helicam.
Elaborating on how different Aamhi Satpute would be from Satte Pe Satta, Sachin states that he is not touching on the characters of Amjad Khan or Ranjeeta. “My storytelling is very different though there are traces of familiarity.” While Amitabh Bachchan played Ravi, the older brother and Sachin the youngest of all, in Aamhi Satpute, Sachin plays the older brother and Swapnil Joshi is the last of the lot. While in Satte Pe Satta, all the guys were named after weekdays, in Aamhi Satpute, since they are vegetable vendors, the names are Kandya (as in onion), Batatya (potato), Tambya, Kobiya (cabbage), Harbarya (black gram), Todkya (a green vegetable) and Chinklya (core of the onion). They are known as the bhaaji paltan.
Sachin informs that there are some very unique aspects concerning the film. “One of the USPs is that Aamhi Satpute was completed in 45 days which is very rare these days. Secondly a helicam, that is vastly used for advertisements and very rarely for films, has been used for the first time for a Marathi film. It has been mostly used for the introductory song of the seven brothers as well as some chase scenes. This has added to the quality of my project. Thirdly all the six songs are very different from each other, unlike the films of today. Fourthly, there is one song in the film sung by Sonu Niigam but in the voices of Kumar Sanu, Nitin Mukesh, Shabbir Kumar, Adnan Sami as well as in his own voice.”
