MMW Rating Summary 'Picasso' is a perfect tribute to all those performers, singers and musicians who are part of this folk art. Certainly, an artistic film with a difference. 4.0 User Rating 5 (1 vote) Sending

Genres: Drama Rating: 4/5 Censor: UA Duration: 110 min. Studio / Presenter: Amazon, Everest Entertainment, Platoon One films Producer(s):  Shiladitya Bora Writer, Director: Abhijeet Mohan Warang Creative Director: Tushar Paranjape Cast: Prasad Oak, Samay Sanjeev Tambe, Ashwini Mukadam DOP: Stanley Mudda Editor: Aashay Gatade Movie Review by: Ulhas Shirke

Produced by Shiladitya Bora and directed by debutant Abhijeet Mohan Warang, ‘Picasso’ is an artistic Marathi film which was shown at few film festivals and which has now been released by Amazon Prime Video on OTT Platform. Set on the backdrop of a remote village from South Konkan region, the film focuses on a young seventh standard student Gandharva Pandurang Gawade( Samay Sanjeev Tambe). Gandharva who is selected for the Picasso Arts Scholarship at the National level, is required to pay a fee Rs. 1500/- to be eligible for the next level of competition.

With his mother(Ashwini Mukadam) already suffering from an ailment and father just able to manage the household expenses with petty jobs and performing in Dashavatari plays, it becomes difficult for the boy to manage the fees payable for competition. With the notice of paying the fees reaching the school late due to postal delay , the boy reaches the nearby village on the same day, where his father is performing. Though happy with this news, the father expresses his inability to raise this amount in short time. That night the boy spends his time watching the performance of his beloved father in the play. How this night brings the changes in the life of father and son, is what the film’s climax is all about.

Through this simple story of the boy, the film has also shown the importance of the folk art theatre in that region, where Dashavtar plays began in 12th century.  So, we get to see, how despite financial struggle and dependence on people’s patronage, these plays still exist in this region. Therefore, the film is a perfect tribute to all those performers, singers and musicians who are part of this folk art. The performances by Prasad Oak, Ashwini Mukadam , Child artiste Samay and other supporting cast are very natural and worth appreciating. Debutant director Abhijeet Mohan Warang has presented this film very well with the support of good folk music Anand Lunkad and decent photography by Stanley Mudda. Certainly, an artistic film with a difference.
