During these difficult times of Covid – 19 which has suddenly barged into our lives without an alarm or warning, it has been truly hard for each one of us to handle and manage the situation. Although many have tried to fill their and other’s lives with dab of their passion and creativity spreading some smile and enthusiasm to others ,there are many who are left with pinch of aloneness and negativity.
Whatever the circumstances are, any kind of effort to bring a smile on another’s face is needed. Films have always been an integral part of our lives and do leave us with a kind of mood either elevating or making us nostalgic or introspective.
One of the many regional films to be stuck by effect of Covid -19 was PLANET MARATHI ‘s joint production with Golden ratio Films “AB aani CD” starrer Vikram Gokhale, Amitabh Bachchan, Neena Kulkarni, Subodh Bhave ,Akshay Tanksale,Sayali Sanjeev, Sagar Talashikar, Lokesh Gupte, Sharavari Lohokare, Seema Deshmukh .
So AB aani CD got released on Amazon Prime video on 1st May dedicating the same to the covid warriors and Labour who have been working endlessly for safety of all of us. Released on Maharashtra Day and International Labour Day , this movie garnered lot of appreciation from all corners of the world.
We are overwhelmed for the kind of response received from many of the viewers across the globe, Maharashtrians, Non Maharashtrians and non Indians too after seeing the film.
We are happy to share glimpses of the love showered on us with all our readers here ;

Covid -19 has locked us in our homes but it has helped families spend more time together and enjoy things together – something we have all been missing in our daily hectic routines. AB ani CD, now released on Amazon Prime – was another reason for my family to come together. Our entire family – my mother, mother in law, wife and myself absolutely enjoyed this movie. A delicate topic handled with utmost care. No excessive beating round the bush. To top it all Vikram Gokhale with those unforgettable expressions at key moments make the movie a memorable watching experience. Do enjoy it with your family – if you have not already done it. Congrats to the entire team of AB ani CD.👍👍👍👍-

AB आणि CD offers fresh content like #Marathimovies always offer. AB आणि CD is a masterclass in acting by Vikram Gokhale Sir and rest of the cast. Pitch-perfect. Director Mr Milind Lele has made a beautiful #movie. And ofcourse, there’s a surprise.

One of the best movies I have seen recently The story content, subject and overall package is top notch. Vikram Gokhale and AB were at their usual best but even young brigade of actors did fantastic job.

नुकताच Amazon prime वर AB आणि CD हा चित्रपट पाहिला. यानिमित्ताने prime वर प्रथमच चित्रपट पाहिला. अतिशय संवेदनशील विषय, मनाला स्पर्श करणारे संवाद आणि एक निराळाच विषय. विक्रम गोखले, नीना कुलकर्णी आणि यांच्यासारखे अनेक मातब्बर दिग्गज यांच्या अभिनयाची जुगलबंदी म्हणजे मराठी चित्रपटावर मनापासून प्रेम करणाऱ्या रसिक प्रेक्षकांसाठी एक पर्वणीच आहे. पण सुबोध भावे, सीमा देशमुख, सागर तळाशीकर, शर्वरी लोहोकरे, सायली संजीव, अक्षय टांकसाळे यांच्या भूमिकाही विशेष लक्षवेधी ठरल्या आहेत.
यातील शब्द मनाला भिडतात, एक विलक्षण कटू सत्यता त्यात दडलेली आहे. विशेष करून “इतक्या वेगाने रंग बदलणारी माणसे प्रथमच पाहिली” हे जास्त भावलं, कारण माझ्या मतेही प्रत्येकजण कोणत्याही वयाच्या टप्प्यात असो सरड्यालाही लाज वाटेल इतका रंग बदलणारा सजीव म्हणजे माणूस होय.
अजून एक जमेची बाजू म्हणजे यातील “असा हात हाती असावा सुखाचा” हे वैभव जोशींनी रचलेले, मयुरेश पै ह्यांनी संगीतबद्ध केलेले आणि मेखला अभिषेकी खडीकर यांनी गायलेले गीत. खूप वर्षांनी मेखला यांचा कर्णमधुर स्वर कानी निनादला आणि हे गाणे संपल्यावर तो मनातही बराचवेळ गुंजत राहिला. चित्रपटाचा शेवट हा चुकवू नये असाच आहे. विक्रमजींचे भाषण हे ऐकण्यासारखे आहे. म्हणजे जगात एखाद्या व्यक्तीच्या आयुष्यात सुवर्णकाळ आला किंवा सुगीचे दिवस आले कि मगच त्याच्याशी चांगली वर्तणूक करायची, हि जी कोत्या मनाची वृत्ती आहे त्यावर भाष्य करणारा हा चित्रपट आहे. सर्वात महत्वाचे “अग्निपथ” मधील गायतोंडे आणि विजय चौहान यांना त्यानंतर आत्ता पुन्हा पाहण्याची नामी संधीच चालून आलेली आहे. खंत एकाच गोष्टीची वाटते कि हा चित्रपट चित्रपटगृहात पाहता आला नाही सध्याच्या परिस्थितीमुळे.
दिग्दर्शक मिलिंद लेले planet Marathi चे अक्षय बर्दापूरकर, गायत्री चित्रे, नेहा कदम आणि संपूर्ण त्यांची टीम या सर्वांनी एक दर्जेदार कलाकृती सादर केली आणि त्याचा आस्वाद दिला. खात्री आहे यांची प्रसाद ओक दिग्दर्शित अजय अतुल यांचे श्रवणीय संगीत लाभलेली “चंद्रमुखी” ही आणि अशा अनेक कलाकृती या उत्तम मनोरंजनाचा निखळ आस्वाद देणाऱ्या दर्जेदारच असतील. Planet Marathi ला त्यांच्यापुढील कलाकृती हाऊसफुल्ल होवो, त्यांना सर्वोत्तम पुरस्कार मिळोत आणि रसिकमायबाप प्रेक्षकांचे भरभरून प्रेम, आशीर्वाद लाभोत याच शुभेच्छा. – अर्चित (श्रीनिवास) विजय गोखले
If lockdown would not have been there ,it would have created wonders Starcast is good everybody has done their role very finely. Lele the director has done a great job Even that one minute role done by that boy who is doing hanky panky in garden with his girlfriend in garden also acted well. Shown perfect picture of today’s youth Director is very apt Only two songs are there So movie entertains and keeps audience glued Though storyline is predictable still it engages audience very well.
