What exactly is the story of the film Bhirkit?

In this film, you will get to see a perfect package of entertainment like politics, family relationship, love story, humor. Although the film originally portrayed village politics, it is not a political film. This is a village story.

An incident takes place in the village, which affects every person in the village and the struggle to get out of it, the commotion, is called 'Bhirkit'.

Now you will know exactly what happened after watching this movie. Entertaining the audience is a legacy of our family. My father has shown many films to the audience through touring talkies till date.

We have shown many films from black and white to color. I have seen the journey from print to digital in filmmaking. We have always been in the audience since childhood. So we try to make films based on what the audience likes.

Experience during the shooting of 'Bhirkit'?

Basically everyone in this movie is the king of comedy. It features national award winning actors like Girish Kulkarni.

Everyone has a different style of humor, the timing, and we can only imagine what can happen if these different types of humor come together.

As Dhamal has done on the screen. The same thing happened with our set. The new duo of Tanaji Galgund and Monalisa Bagal will be seen on screen for the first time. Everyone in the movie has taken this movie forward.

What exactly is 'Bhirkit'?

In fact, the movie 'Bhirkit' is associated with the soil. Man is moving away from man. The humanity in man is also being lost. Seeing all this from my childhood, I kept seeing this story and I kept putting it on paper.

From that, 'Bhirkit' became. Everyone in our life has a 'bhirkit'. Be it happiness or sorrow, 'Bhirkit' will follow you. Especially the word 'Bhirkit' is widely used in villages. 'Bhirkit' is an invisible weapon behind us.

The film manages to entertain as well as inform. It will get some message. It is a black comedy film that everyone should watch with family.

Why choose a scenic location for filming?

The film has been shot at scenic locations near Mahabaleshwar and Wai. Being a native of Satara, I knew many places in the area.

I chose these places for filming because the story of this film is rural and there is immense natural beauty in the rural areas. The photographer has painted each frame beautifully. So the audience will find the whole movie fragrant.
