Pradnya Creations and Spring Summer Films’ Taath Kana (Marathi) is a biopic of neuro-surgeon Dr. Premanand Ramani. Dr. Ramani is a spine surgeon who has made a big name for himself. The film traces his growing-up years, his education to become a doctor, his journey to become a neuro-surgeon and then his magical mastery in the operation theatre.
The story is based on true-life incidents in Dr. Ramani’s life but since Dr. Premanand Ramani is not a household name, it is not a story of the kind which will strike a chord in everyone’s heart. Shrikant Bojewar’s screenplay is average. Since neuro-surgery is not as common as some other areas of medicine, the drama involving Dr. Ramani’s rise as a neuro-surgeon may not engage the viewers a great deal. No doubt, Dr. Ramani’s contribution in his area of work is commendable, but the screenplay may not get the desired reaction for the above-mentioned reason. Shrikant Bojewar’s dialogues are okay.
Umesh Kamat does well as Dr. Premanand Ramani. Deepti Devi is good as his wife, Pratima Ramani. Suyog Gorhe makes a fine impression as Dr. Ramani’s patient, Narendra. Shailesh Datar is alright as Narendra’s father, Vidyadhar Joshi. Sayali Sanjeev is fair as Vidya. Ajit Bhure lends reasonable support as Dr. Panse. Anagha Joshi is adequate as Premanand’s mother, Ahilyabai Ramani. Anupama Takmoge provides ordinary support as Narendra’s mother, Lata Joshi. Ravi Gosai (as Balwinder Singh), Sanjeev Jotangia (as Dr. Parmar), Prajakta Kavlekar (as Dr. Saraswati), and the rest lend routine support.
Girish Mohite’s direction is average. Avinash-Vishwajeet’s background music is okay. Krishnakumar Soren’s cinematography is fair. Mahesh Kudalkar’s art direction is so-so. Nilesh Gavand’s editing ought to have been sharper.
On the whole, Taath Kana is a fair fare but is box-office prospects are bleak because Dr. Premanand Ramani is not a household name and hence the story lacks universal appeal.
Released on 28-11-’25 at City Light (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru August Entertainment. Publicity: poor. Opening: dull.
