This proved to be a big break for them and paved the way for their foray into the Indian (mostly Marathi) music industry. Later, they came to Mumbai and started working on an international non-film music album "Vishwavinayaka". Their father said, "You have not been given any toys during childhood, now this is your toy." This inspired them and they started experimenting. This proved to be one of their greatest gifts. Their father bought them a keyboard on their mother's insistence. Later, while at college, they started working with local bands as arrangers. They would befriend people who owned instruments like harmoniums, mridangam, dhol etc., since they could not afford them on their own. Despite not getting direct training, they learned a lot from these ventures. As their family could not afford the instruments for their musical endeavors, they started their musical ventures through their school, temples, local bands, etc. Although they were not supported by their family directly for music, they were never denied any assistance. This instance inspired them to explore their music potential.
In an NCC competition, Ajay played an existing composition differently, and they won the prize for their experiment. Around this time, they started experimenting with music. But their interest in music developed while they were still in school. In their childhood, they were not much attracted towards academics. Atul was born on 11 September 1974 and Ajay his younger brother born on 21 August 1976. Both were born in Pune and brought up in several villages in western Maharashtra, including Junnar, Shirur, Manchar and Ghodegaon as their father had a transferable job. Salman Khan's cameo (Khan happens to be a co-producer) and his ' bhau' act with Deshmukh as they engage with each other in their drunken stupor talking about Khan's ex will leave you in splits.Ajay and Atul Gogavale were born to Ashok Gogavale, a Revenue Department officer in Alandi in Pune. Nevertheless, the Deshmukh-Kamat duo have churned out a blockbuster Marathi movie, never mind the fact that the film takes on Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt's Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya that is also likely to do strongly at the box office. The only hitch you can find with Kelkar is his dialogue delivery, especially, when he has to use to get into an action sequence.įor Lai Bhaari, both Deshmukh and Kamat seem to have taken a calculated bet that could dilute their brand images - which lay with Bollywood as of now. Special mention must be made of Kelkar who plays the evil-minded, blood-spilling Sangram with aplomb. The dialogues (Sanjay Pawar), the one-liners (Tanta nay tar ghanta nay - read the sub titles to get what this is), the cinematography (Sanjay Memane) all hit you at the right places if you are kind enough to spare the music that is all sound and little melody considering the film revolves around all things Vitthal, the source of most melodious bhakti movement songs in Maharashtra. Kamat, who has given us such delectable films as Dombivali Fast and Mumbai Meri Jaan, is completely in charge of Lai Bhaari as he narrates the story of Prince, Mauli and Sangram (Sharad Kelkar as the villain is dashing but sometimes lacks the teeth of a negative character if you leave his gory indulgences aside) as the fight of the good against the evil.Īpart from the cast that includes Tanvi Azmi (yes, yes, she is absolutely wonderful) as the mother in the mould of Raakhee or Reema Lagu (you take your pick :-)), Radhika Apte and Aaditi Pohankar as Prince's and Mauli's love interest respectively, the film's masterstroke is the brilliant evocation of imagery associated with Lord Vitthal (Maharashtra's reigning deity and romantically also described as the God of the Poor), the Warkaris (his followers) and Pandharpur (the Lord's seat in southern Maharashtra). Deshmukh in a double role - yes, you read that right - makes sure that the audience will love his chocolate hero looks (Prince) as well as the angry young icon of Marathi cinema (Mauli) who seeks revenge without making you feel you are not watching a Hindi movie.
