Taptapadi, a Marathi period film inspired by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s short story Drishtidaan will release on March 28 across Maharashtra.  Taptapadi marks the debut of Sachin Nagargoje as a director.  

“Wholesomeness and simplicity in Drishtidan and Rabindranath Tagore’s writing inspired me to make the film on such an issue,” explained Nagargoje. “The story of the film is based on eye donation and it explores the shades love and relationships. One can enjoy this movie with the family,” he added.

The story of the film takes place in the period of 1940s and it is adapted into Marathi for the film by director 
Nagargoje himself. He has also co-written the dialogues for the film with Madhugandha Kulkarni. Kashyap Parulekar, Veena Jamkar and Shruti Marathe are the lead actors of the film. Neena Kulkarni, Sharad Ponkshe, Ashwini Ekbote, Ambarish Deshpande and Rahul Vaidya are also part of the cast.

According to Nagargoje, Taptapadi is technically more challenging because it is a period film and its cinematography, art direction and costumes will take the audience in yesteryears. Santosh Sarankar has done the cinematography whereas Devdas Bhandare has done the art direction for the film. Dhanashri Tiwarekar and Rahim sheikh have designed the costumes for the film.

The duo Sumit Bellari and Rohit Nagbhide have composed the music for the film whereas Vaibhav Joshi has penned the lyrics. Sawani Shende and Swapnil Bandodkar have sung the songs of the film.

Taptapadi will hit the theatres on March 28 all over Maharashtra.
