Zee talkies and Kedar Shinde, Bharat Jadhav as Galgale, a star cast consiting of Siddharth Jadhav, Ramesh Dev and Vitthal Umap. Everything about 'Galgale Nighale...' is Class one, so the expectations are sky high. But unfortunately, it turns out be one the worst films made in recent times. It's really saddening to see so many talented people associated with such a bad film. read more »

The Shiv Sena, which claims to be the first political party to raise the issue of Marathi "asmita" (pride), was in for some embarrassment as activists from the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) targeted senior Sena leader Manohar Joshi's technical institute—Kohinoor—in Ahmednagar for having an English signboard. read more »

भाविकांना पावणारा नवसाचा राजा अशी ख्याती असलेला 'लालबागचा राजा' यंदा राजगडावर विराजमान झाला असून रविवारपासूनच त्याच्या दर्शनासाठी भाविकांच्या रांगा लागल्या. या गणेशाला यंदा ७५ वषेर् पुरी होत असल्याने गर्दी दुपटीने वाढण्याची शक्यता लक्षात घेऊन एकावेळी २५ हजार भाविक मंडपाच्या आसपास वावरू शकतील, अशी व्यवस्था आहे. read more »

बाप्पा

परवा भेटला बाप्पा, जरा वैतागलेला वाटला

दोन क्षण दम खातो म्हणून माझ्याघरी टेकला

उंदीर कुठे पार्क करू ? लॉट नाही सापडला

मी म्हंटलं सोडून दे, आराम करु दे त्याला


तू पण ना देवा कुठल्या जगात राहतोस ?

मर्सिडिस च्या जमान्यात उंदरावरून फ़िरतोस

मर्सिडिस नाही निदान नॅनो तरी घेऊन टाक

तमाम देव मंडळींमधे भाव खाऊन टाक

इतक्या मागण्या पुरवताना जीव माझा जातो
