Dhag is
the tragic irony of a family that becomes happy when a death happens in the
village, said director Shivaji Lotan Patil explaining his film. The national
award-winning film is based on the plight of a lower-caste family in-charge of
the cremations in the village. It is all
set to be released on March 7, across Maharashtra.
Cast and crew of the
film addressed the press in Pune on March 1. Actors Upendara Limaye, Usha
Jadhav, Suhasini Deshpande, producer Vishal Gaware, script and dialogue writer
Nitin Dixit and music director Adiramachandran were present on the occasion. Patil,
however, could not be present due to prior commitments.
Talking about the
storyline, Dixit said that a caretaker family at the Dombivali cremation centre
inspired him to write the story. Explaining why the setting was shifted to a
village, he said, “The pathos of a family doing such work is felt with more
impact in a rural background.” Limaye was drawn into the movie because of the
strong story and Dixit roped him into the project. According to the former, the
film is a rebel story of a teenage boy, who dreams to break the barriers of an
unjust socio-economic situation.
The film has won
National Award for Best Actress (Jadhav), Best Child Artist (Hansraj Jagtap)
and Best Director (Lotan Patil). It also received four Maharashtra State
Awards. Jadhav, who is starring in her first full-fledged role, said that she
was accommodated warmly by the experienced unit. “The director was very precise
with his paperwork. He explained every detail of my role elaborately,” she
added. Jadhav was previously seen in cameos in Hindi films Traffic Signal and
Striker.
The film was set to
release last year, but got delayed. “We are confident that the postponed release
date will not affect the film’s box office collection. It will make good
impact on the audience as it has done on the critics,” expressed Gaware.
Dhag will hit the
theatres on March 7 across the Maharashtra.
