Compared to the previous few
years, the production of films in Marathi is taking place on a much higher
scale now. The proportion of erstwhile 30-40 films in a year has now reached up
to nearly 80 to 100 films in the recent years. This has invariably resulted
into a higher competition in the market of Marathi feature films too. Since 3
to 4 films are being released on the same day, the respective film producers
too are being seriously affected by this trend, as a result of the audiences
and theatres being divided among these concurrently releasing films. 26th
July too was going to witness a release of three big banner Marathi films.
These included a Marathi film '72 Miles– Ek Pravas' produced by Akshay
Kumar and Ashwini Yardi's Grazing Goat Pictures. It based on novel '72 Miles' written by Ashok Vhatkar
& Directed by Rajiv Patil.
But now the date of release of
this ambitious film has been postponed in order to avoid the aforesaid disaster
of the division of the audiences and also the theatres. Therefore now this film
'72 Miles– Ek Pravas' is going to release on 9th August
instead of its previously scheduled date of 26th July. This information
was communicated by Mr. Jayesh Muzumdar, the director of the Commercial and
Regional Films Division of Viacom18,
the company looking after the distribution and presentation of this film.
While giving more details in this
context Ms. Ashwini Yardi of the 'Grazing Goat Pictures', said, 'After
presenting a hit film in Hindi like 'Oh! My God', the production company 'Grazing
Goat Pictures' has stepped into the segment of Marathi films through the
film '72 Miles– Ek Pravas'. The Marathi audiences are always known to be
choosing the films that contain subjects of some vital substance. The Marathi
audiences have always accorded their first preference to the films that present
a social reference blended with entertainment. The film '72 Miles– Ek Pravas'
contains both of these elements and it is for this reason this decision has
been taken so that the film can attract highest possible audiences as well as
it shall be able to released at highest number of theatres at a time'.
Smita Tambe, Chinmay Sant, Sharvani Solaskar, Isha Mane and Chinmay Kambli have played the lead roles in this film.
