Best Marathi Film: 'Shaala' Directed by Sujay Dahake



Cast: Dilip Prabhavalkar, Nandu Madhav, Anshuman Joshi, Ketaki Mategaonkar







 Shala is an adolescent love story set in a small town in the politically charged decade of the 70s.Joshi is a student of Std 9 and is falling for his classmate Shirodkar who seems to nurture similar feelings for him.This is that innocent love of juvenile years, naïve, carefree and overwhelming. You see it unfolding beautifully before your eyes, and a smile lingers on your lips as you see it growing beyond the classroom into rendezvous in temple and on the street. But what about our future: Joshi asks the girl and she never manages an answer.The original music by Alokananda Dasgupta deserves special mention for its contribution to the emotional impact of the film. It is the music that lets one immerse in the innocent romance and yet never lets go of the sense of the impending peril. It connects the dreamy world of the teenagers to the outside world that is harsh and unromantic.
