Asa Mi Tasa Mi
Mohan is a peon in the village hospital which has never seen a doctor in ages. Monya,as he is lovingly called,is an ugly-looking guy with buck teeth. But he is always ready to help the needy in the village. Despite lack of qualifications,he treats the locals at the hospital. He lives with his parents and younger sister Saraswati. One day a team of six doctors come to the village as interns and are shocked at the condition of the hospital. Monya takes a liking for Dr Shweta. When Dr Rahul,who also likes Dr Shweta,learns of this he insists that they Rahul and Shweta leave the village.

Sonal,a little girl,becomes unconscious while passing through the village with her mother in the car. She is brought to the hospital but Monya is not allowed to treat her by the doctor. At night,the hospital catches fire accidentally and Monya jumps into the fire to save Sonal who is trapped inside. But he is unable to come out safely. It is assumed that he died in the fire. However his sister does not believe this.
Monya is taken away to the city and admitted to the hospital by Namita,Sonals sister who is a famous actress. After the treatment,he gets a makeover and now Namita does not want him to return to his village as she has fallen in love with him. But he still loves Dr Shweta who is treating Sonal.

TECHNICAL EXPERTISE:
One wonders how a filmmaker of Raman Kumars calibre opted to make a film that has no soul. It does not touch a chord. Raman Kumars work is remembered even today whether it is Tara on TV or Hindi films like Saath Saath but this is one effort that will take a back seat. The only aspect that needs to be applauded is taking up a Marathi film for direction. Makrand Anapure,as Mohan,is his usual self. He looks scary with his weird wig and buck teeth that reminds one of Sanjeev Kumar in Jaani Dushman.
Even after his makeover,his bright and colourful shirts and wig do not make up for a change. Shweta Mehendale is good in her second attempt at acting. The dialogue is too loud. The story could have been better. The music is passable as is the camerawork and editing. Not a loss if this is missed.
RATING:
Just one star for Raman Kumars attempt at making a Marathi film.
