MELBOURNE, 29 November 2021: The Jayanti (Marathi) with English subtitles directed by Shailesh Baliram Narwade and starring Ruturaj Wankhede, Titeeksha Tawde and Milind Shinde, has been successfully running in India. The theme of the movie is what makes it different from the regular films and its exclusive show here on 27 November generated keen interest.

The major chunk of the Bollywood movies focus on money generation and box office movies depict the core idea of entertainment and stories unconnected to peoples issues.

But Jayanti makes a break from the routine and takes up the journey of a young misled goon becoming a learned and socially responsible person to bring change in himself and the society. This reflects the radical transforming the passive subjectivity attached to Dalit-Bahujan characters.

The Bahujan protagonist wages a tough struggle against well entrenched class and political elite. This gives the movie a Dalit empowerment color, laying the foundation of upcoming Dalit cinema.

The audience watching Jayanti in Melbourne connected well with the progressive ideas of the movie and its liberating message.

This was Jayanti’s first international screening which educated, enriched and entertained the select audience. One hopes the movie gets a regular release in Australia.
