Heard of a Marathi movie of this title? (Well, it becomes 'aajacha divas maza' in Marathi)
I had not until recently. On 27 March 2016 it was telecast on one of the Marathi channels. My idle surfing in the evening revealed it and I could connect with another quick view in the past. So I paid more attention. And I was in for a pleasant surprise.
A good movie which holds full attention of the viewer. Later you realise it has not enriched you but it is good while it lasts.
The plot: the chief minister of Maharashtra is back from Delhi where he has managed to keep his detractors at bay and has won a second tenure. This in spite of the governor playing tricks. He attends a wedding in the evening where he ticks off the governor and also unwittingly insults a blind singer. His conscience keeps pricking him and he decides to atone himself by giving the singer what he had requested - a flat in Mumbai before the new day dawns.
The commissioner raises every objection but the CM overrides him and the house key is handed over in the early morning.
From 'Simhasan' onwards, showing political life on screen has become very easy for our film industry. Sachin Khedekar as CM was very natural - better than late Vilasrao Deshmukh who liked acting like a hero! Hrishikesh Joshi as CM's PA was excellent. Mahesh Manjrekar as commissioner - impressive and a lot of artists who have now become well known on the small screen. Satam, the steno who pretends he is hospitalized but is forced to come to office at midnight - the actor raised a few good laughs.
Some serious statements about the working of bureaucracy were made and the movie was over.

I will try and watch it. A few days back I watched सिंहासन again and found it as gripping as it was on my first viewing.
Simhasan is definitely a milestone in Marathi consciousness.
