Sameer Dharmadhikari: Marathi movies of the actor that you should not miss

Actor-model and a hydraulic machine designer, Sameer Dharmadhikari is a multi-faceted personality. Apart from films and television, he is also active in theatres from past many years. Here we give you a rundown of some of his Marathi movies that you should not miss.

A Sachin Kundalkar directorial, this film won the National Award for the Best Marathi film. It featured Sameer Dharmadhikari, Devika Daftardar, Gauri Kulkarni and others. This is a journey of realisation of the inner discontent and happiness behind seemingly happy life. Shekar and Jui are happily married for three years. Shekar is a flute musician and gets a music assignment in France. But before leaving for France he plans a short trip to his village in Konkan along with Jui and his friends. What happens thereafter forms the crux of the story. Sameer as Shekhar has done complete justice to his role. This movie deserves a watch.

'Samaantar' is an Amol Palekar directorial flick that starred Amol Palekar, Sharmila Tagore, Sameer Dharmadhikari, Radhika Apte, Aishwarya Narkar, Vandana Gupte and Makarand Deshpande. The story revolves around a businessman who has achieved everything in his life and when in 60's he has lost the verve to live and thinks of a suicide but again when he meets his old companion a hope to live buds on. The story tells us that while love can cause the gravest injury to the heart, it is perhaps the only emotion that comes with a curative power. Sameer here plays a short but important role of Keshav's biological son. Thus this star-studded flick needs to be watched.

A Mahesh Manjrekar directorial, this movie starred Satish Kaushik, Siddharth Jadhav, Ankush Choudhary, Veena Jamkar, Vineet Kumar, Sameer Dharmadhikari, Sachin Khedekar, Kashmera Shah, Ganesh Yadav, Karan Patel, Shashank Shende and Seema Biswas. This movie is about the life of the mill workers, their struggles and the difficulties they faced. It’s about how the government exploits the poor mill workers. Sameer Dharmadhikari has played the role of the mill owner efficiently. 'Lalbaug Parel' is a good and hard-hitting film which is worth the watch.

'Pyaar Vali Love Story' is a Marathi film directed and written by Sanjay Jadhav starring Swwapnil Joshi, Sai Tamhankar, Urmila Kanetkar-Kothare, Nagesh Bhosale, Upendra Limaye, Sameer Dharmadhikari and Chinmay Mandlekar. 'Pyar Vali Love Story' presents two parallel stories. This is a Marathi film which has Bombay riots in the background. The fabulous love story and a dramatic screenplay is the key of the success of the film. Sameer as Pashya is a perfect fit for Swwapnil's brother's role. This movie deserves a watch.
