Gojiri
Show Timings: 3.30 pm and 9.15 pm, Sunil Bharve-Director, Madhura
Velanar-Actor
Gojiri-A Love Story is the name of Marathi film director Viju Mane's
film, produced under the banner of Tanvi films. It goes deeper,
trying to explore the human psyche, more so, a condition called
short term memory loss. Gulraj Singh's music sets the mood aptly
and Giridharan's cinematography is breath taking.
With the picturesque locales of Konkan as a backdrop, Gojiri, tells
the story of a refreshingly pretty young girl by the same name;
every inch innocent, naïve and playful. She lives a mundane
life with her father and mentally challenged sister, Suva. Shrikar
Sahasrabuddhe, a young commercial photographer, visits her town
for settling some property matters. Initially the village and its
surroundings irritate and disgust him, but soon he is attracted
to Gojiri.
A day in her company makes him want to marry her, yet when he puts
the proposal to Nanushet his estate broker and a friend of Gojiri's
father, Tatya, he is vehemently denied. Reason being, Gojiri suffers
from short term memory loss and can never be cured. It is the result
of an accident that has occurred about a year ago and Gojiri continues
living in the same day and time every single day.
Gulraj Singh's music sets the mood aptly and Giridharan's cinematography
is breath taking. As such Konkan paradise and Giridharan jots its
beauty on celluloid very beautifully. A touch of situational comedy
comes at the right intervals and lightens the mood.
