Pura Neve East Indian Sanskruti: First East Indian Marathi Musical in 14 Years Draws Packed Houses
The film Pura Neve East Indian Sanskruti is captivating audiences with its unique blend of 17 songs performed in a variety of styles—from traditional melodies to rap. Remarkably, the film features no story, script, or lead cast, yet it was certified as a full-length feature by the Central Board of Film Certification earlier this month.
This musical, presented entirely in the East Indian dialect of Marathi, hit city theatres last week and is drawing thousands eager to experience characters singing and speaking in their own language on the big screen. It’s the first feature film in this dialect since 2009, and with limited screenings consistently selling out, theatres have started adding more shows to meet the growing demand.
A Unique Musical Experience Producer Patel, who previously made the 2009 film Tu Maza Jeev in the same dialect spoken around Vasai and the gaothans (old villages) of Mumbai, shared, “Hearing their mother tongue on the screen gives people a different joy. I hope the film boosts the confidence of young members of the community and opens doors for them in the wider entertainment world.”Vivian D’Souza, an advocate from Kurla, praised the film’s cultural significance, saying, “It is a distinct dialect.
The censor board recognized the film for its lyrical portrayal of the community’s culture. People are flocking to watch it.”Theatres and Audience Reaction
