श्रीयुत गंगाधर टिपरे

tipre

 

The Marathi serial with above name is one of my most favorite TV serials. It showed the life of typical Marathi middle class family. I could see every character in the serial in the people around me. Aaba, Shekhar, Shyamala, Shrilesh aka Shirya and Shalaka were five main characters of the series. There was not a single episode which I could not relate to my own life. Friday night 9.30 slot was reserved for only one thing – “श्रीयुत गंगाधर टिपरे”. Apart from “405 आनंदवन” not many Marathi comedy serials came close Tipre. Some of the typical lines of the characters were -

श्यामला – “अग बाई!"

आबा – “अरे कर्मा”

शेखर – (मोठ्याने) “काय??”

श्रीलेश/शलाका – “आई झोपू दे ना"

I remember the last episode of "Tipre” where Kedar Shinde (Director) explained why he wanted to end the serial. He did not want people to come to him and tell him, “कधी थांबणार?”, instead he wanted people to ask him, “का थांबलात?”.

Recently, I got a link of online episodes of Tipre from my friend Laxmikant, but there are very few episodes and most are in divided in 3 parts. It would be great if Zee Marathi releases a DVD of the episodes of the serial.

Raja Shivchhatrapati Lyrics

इंद्र जिमि जंभ पर… बाडव सुअंभ पर… रावण सदंभ पर… रघुकुलराज है ! पौन बारिबाह पर… संभु रतिनाह पर… ज्यों सहसबाह पर… राम द्विजराज है ! उदरात माउली… रयतेस साउली… गडकोट राउळी… शिवशंकर हा मुक्तीची मंत्रणा… युक्तीची यंत्रणा… खल दुष्टदुर्जना… प्रलयंकर हा संतास रक्षितो… शत्रू निखंदतो… भावंडभावना… संस्थापितो ऐसा युगेयुगे… स्मरणीय सर्वदा… माता-पिता-सखा… शिवभूप तो दावा दृमदंड पर… चीता मृगझुंड पर… भूषन वितुंड पर… जैसे मृगराज है ! तेज तम‍ अंस पर… कान्ह जिमि कंस पर… त्यों मलिच्छ बंस पर… सेर सिवराज है ! जय भवानी, जय शिवाजी !   Thanks to Nik for sending this.

My Favorite Song

I always loved marathi songs. Be it the usual film songs, or the ever spiritual bhakitgeet. I am great fan of Vasant Bahar (the collection songs by Vasant Desai, Vasnt Prabhu and Vasant Deshpande). But all these songs were recorded in older times, before the 80s. In fact there were not many songs from the 90s which were really great. The emphasis was more on Comedy and the music paid for this. In fact there were songs which were "combo" songs containing the marathi versions of many popular hindi songs. Post Shwas era however has been much more encouraging. There were some amazing numbers like Radha hi Bawari, Man Udhan Varyache, Malhar vari and more. The song which I am going to mention here was an special addition  to the "Aga Bai Arechya.." audio CD. It was got the modern touch which I think is essential for Marathi songs if they really want to compete against the Hindi or Punjabi songs.  Sung by Swapnil Bandodkar, this one is at the top of my favorite songs list

शायरी

कुछ बिखरे सपने और आँखों में नमी है, एक छोटा सा आसमां और उम्मीन्दों की ज़मीं है, यूँ तो बहुत दोस्त है ज़िन्दगी मैं, पर जो खास है वाही पास नहीं है ....................
