Filmmaker Jeejivisha Kale's Marathi movie Tighee, released earlier this month, is garnering significant acclaim. The film stars Sonalee Kulkarni, Neha Pendse Bayas, and Bharti Achrekar, portraying a family in crisis.
Kale shared that the project was a "labour of love," emphasizing the importance of "love, kindness, and tolerance" in today's world. She noted that every team member sought a space for these values. The film's journey was supported by producers at Coquelicot Pictures and Supri Media & Advertising.
The inspiration for Tighee stemmed from Kale's personal experiences as an only child and a woman navigating objectification. These reflections led to the central question about child protection.
The cast was carefully selected, with Neha Pendse Bayas becoming the first to back the film as Swati. Sonalee Kulkarni was envisioned as Sarika, and veteran Bharti Achrekar's intuitive casting brought emotional depth, leveraging her comic timing.
