Description

 Marathi cinema is experiencing a revolution of sorts. It is steadily shifting from the cheap-comedies to the more sensible kind of cinema. Natarang is the story of Guna- the ‘nachya’ in the folk culture of ‘tamasha’. It is an impressive tale of what a ‘nachya’, a female imposter in the ‘tamasha’, has to undergo. It is based on a book by the same name written by Dr. Anand Yadav, Marathi litterateur and President of this year’s Marathi Sahitya Sammelan. Having not read the book, I can’t really comment on how the movie fares compared to the acclaimed book. If looked at in isolation it does a fairly decent job.
