In the meantime. Inamdar has inaged to ravish Ratan without her >ther's knowledge and the girl is eadv pregnant when the climax the story is reached.
With the help of Deshmukh Master, a practical man of the world, the whole affair is satisfactorily solved by exposing Inamdar right at the time of his proposed marriage
with Rekha and making him marry the pregnant Ratan instead. Rekh.i gets her poor, young photographer and everyone is happy at the end.
ROLE OF HIS LIFE
The story drags a bit before the interval due to a sketchy film script but travels fast enough afterwards. The production values are not outstanding, photography and sound recording being only tolerably good. The music is poor.
The direction of Vasant Joglekar is quite enterprising and his work is made comparatively easy by the inclusion in the cast of experienced artistes like Baburao Pendharkar. Damuanna Malwankar and Sumati Gupte.
Baburao Pendharkar plays Inamdar. the sex-obsessed villain of the story, and he lives his role to the finger tips. In such roles he is at once the ideal and the standard and no one in the country can beat him.
Damuanna Malwankar gives his usual polished performance as Deshmukh Master, the practical man of the world, who has seen enough of the dillerent hypocrisies of contemporary life and has decided to dehunk them whenever possible. He has a delightful little role and he portrays it perfectly.
Sumati (iupte plays Rekha. the heroine ot the story, with her characteristic poise and dignity. Sumati has added a little weight to her face these days and in consequence lost a bit of her previous screen personality but her performance, nevertheless remains intelligent and appropriate.
[ndumati looks fresh and attractive as Ratan but she makes such horrible mouth formations while speaking and singing that one likes to look away from the screen.
[ndirabai Gbitnis acquits herself superbly as Mainabai. the singh prostitute. She shows the vigour and the \ indictiveness of a wollscarred prostitute.
In short. '"Sakharpuda". in spill of its production defects, is a good picture which, while entertaining, also tickles the mind. And very few Indian pictures do that these days.
