Dr. Prakash Baba Amte is the sort of rare classic film that
spans the decades that uses the recognizable cast and yet follows a human value
from beginning to end. Dr. Prakash Baba Amte is a biopic on the life of Dr.
Prakash Amte, who is an acclaimed social worker. It involves the story of challenges
they went through when they make
toughest decision to spend life for the upliftment of tribals. ( Aadivasi).
Real story of the film begins with a flashback where Prakash
Amte is giving an interview and unfolding the events of his life. At the beginning of the film, Interesting incident that USA embassy denies the VISA to Dr. Amte as
his monthly earnings was 1500/Rs. Later on, mighty USA embassy personnel apologize for their mistake to Dr, Prakash
Amte as they realize that he is a prestigious award winner and great social
worker.
Actual flashback started when Dr. Amte met Mandakini at medical
college. Apart from one single scene
where he gifts her chocolate and description that he loses himself to her appearance
and so-called " aura". The feelings/construction of love happens in most
innocent and honest but convincing manner with fewer dialoges.
Story moves ahead where he gains trust, and his open-air
hospital becomes most reliable place for Adivasis.The challenges due lack of
instruments and which results in failure of human life has been portrayed in a
gripping fashion.
Story tellign happens at multiple levels where part of
cinema takes u his tribal struggle and portion of the story is covered with this
selfless love of this couple. The most amazing expression of love when he asks
her, why u married a mad like me and what did I gave u? She answers "
Fulfillment of life." This is probably
most simple love scene I have ever seen and yet having a significant impact.
Nana Patekar does wonder and makes the character so
completely his own that there is a genuine feeling that the spirit of Dr. Prakash Amte is on the scene. Nana made the act convincing without being
loud or histrionic. He is almost always quiet, observant, and soft-spoken on
the screen. Moreover, yet his
performance comes across with such might that we realize afterward, that the
sheer moral force of Dr.Amte must have been behind the words. Role of Manadaknini by Sonali Kulkarni is
wonderfully played as she looks pretty and talks like sweet marthi girl
supporting her husband's cause.
Supporting cast is approparite and excellent job done in selecting adivasis.
Apart from all its other qualities, what makes this movie
special is that it was obviously made by people who believed in it. Director
definately has done incredible job here with a small budget.
Even after seeing the film, I suspect how many Indians
realizes that this man deserves respect, and this planet needs to a note of
such people.
The law of filmmaking
says that the audience should never be made consciously aware of the structure,
which should be undisclosed within dramatic events. Same happens here as screenplay
is flashback mode, and it reveals the story to us. The most realistic
screenplay where no Bollywood type humor or any songs. Writer has been remarkably honest to his
characters where they stand taller with the usual language and no heroism. Simple Marathi but a catchy one which can
hold you in chairs for 2 hours. Humor could have been improved a better without
losing the active character-build.
Here, two songs and they are inspiring and it made the job
of chorographer trouble-free. Film happens in the middle of the jungle and small
budget film and has appropriate sets. I would loved Sanjay Bansali make this movie;
we will huge detailing happening, and it would be treated to everyone. Forgive
me for my love towards Sanjay Leela Bansali.
Learning
What is the greatest learning of this movie is significance of
purpose. Do you have a central purpose in your life? Are you courageous enough
to stand for it? Find your purpose and stand for it and make your life
meaningful and content and experience the fulfillment.
To See- Not See
Everyone can see this movie, take kids or anyone. Most
realistic movie.
I rate it as 4 out of 5.
