It rarely happens in Marathi that a writing is given justice on screen. B. E. Rojgaar created & directed by Sarang Sathaye digs in socio-economic thread of our society in a city & in a village as the characters make their journey to achieve their dreams. Sarang Sathaye has very strongly take up important subjects like women empowerment (via Vada Character played by Sai Tamhankar & other female characters), Depression (via Akshyaa Character played by Jagdish) & male masculinity, vulnerability (via Papdya character played by Sambhaji Sasane). The message is clear, how the social fabric of our society has kept opportunities limited to sections of society that hails from inner parts of Maharashtra. How they have to first struggle to get part of the social fabric before exploring opportunities? We seldom think of this being living in Metros like Pune or Mumbai. Sarang Sathaye has kept it simple & subtle and it makes it more intriguing to venture into their world and live with them. The director should be awarded for this work.
The most striking part of all the 3 characters is "Papdya". I was aware of this actor before B. E. Rojgaar due to a play I watched at Prithvi a while ago and I found him very promising then. Although, all of the 3 characters have done justice to their roles, "Papdya" stays with you. Sambhaji Sasane has played the character very subtly and with ease. He doesn't act for camera. He has a natural way of taking pauses at the right junctures and the voice he has makes a lasting impact. His character was difficult to play, Kolhapuri has always been associated with loudness, he keep it subtle yet aggressive without shouting words. Also, the Kolhapuri he speaks is very rooted and not forced. I honestly feel we need actors like him in our movies. It would be great to see him onscreen and I strongly feel he should awarded and further recognized for his work.
The most important part of this series is the writer Saurabh Shamraj. He has researched every bit of his writing. Nothing is too much or too less. The MLM Scene or the scene of Wada thinking about Mechanical engineering or Akshya's depression journey. It looks real and a lot of that credit goes to the writer. I never thought this kind of writing would prop up in Marathi and that too on Youtube. The writing doesn't push a message, it organically weaves into the world of the 3 characters and their journey and socio-economics of our society. Saurabh carries a promise as a writer and should be recognized for this writing.
All the crew & actors have done justice to the parts they have played. This series needs to go on, it's a hope that is needed for youngsters today. Good Luck!
