scattering by air – a very symbolic gesture of freedom and release , scattering ashes into the air is a versatile method used to disperse remains on private and public lands . after the scattering , the ashes can be ceremonially raked into the ground or left alone for the earth to claim .

' ashes to ashes ' derives from the english burial service . the text of that service is adapted from the biblical text , genesis 3 : 19 ( king james version ) :

and the angel took the censer , and filled it with fire of the altar , and cast it into the earth : and there were voices , and thunder , and lightning , and an earthquake .

and the angel took the censer , and filled it with fire of the altar , and cast it into the earth : and there were voices , and thunderings , and lightnings , and an earthquake .

the prayers have gone up , and the sprinkling of the ashes earthward is the symbol of the answer descending from heaven . we may recall the similar action of moses before pharaoh , when he took ashes of the furnace and sprinkled it towards heaven , but it descended towards earth , as a symbol of the plague about to fall upon the land (

the term has been used frequently in literature and song lyrics . ashes to ashes is the title of a 2009 bbc television series . it was also used as a song title by david bowie in 1980 , which included one of his best - known lyrics :

scattering by trench – after a shallow trench or grove is dug into the soil , the ashes are ceremonially poured in and then covered with soil . the trench can simply be a hole , or shaped into a symbol or to spell out a word . some people scatter ashes using the trench technique on a beach and time it so the tide comes , breaks down the uncovered trench , and washes the ashes out to sea .

forasmuch as it hath pleased almighty god of his great mercy to take unto himself the soul of our dear brother here departed , we therefore commit his body to the ground ; earth to earth , ashes to ashes , dust to dust ; in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life , through our lord jesus christ ; who shall change our vile body , that it may be like unto his glorious body , according to the mighty working , whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself .

5 . cast it into the earth—that is , unto the earth : the hot coals off the altar cast on the earth , symbolize god ' s fiery judgments about to descend on the church ' s foes in answer to the saints ' incense - perfumed prayers which have just ascended before god , and those of the martyrs . how marvellous the power of the saints ' prayers !

grief journey – cremation ashes don’t have to be scattered all in one place . if you divide the remains into several small containers you can scatter the ashes wherever you see fit . plan a vacation to visit places of significance , or make a spiritual pilgrimage . another option is to keep the ashes in an urn and remove a tablespoon or two for scattering whenever you travel or move to a new place .

scattering by burial – similar to the trench method but more akin to a traditional cremation burial , except the ashes are buried in a location other than a cemetery . the ashes can simply be poured into the hole or placed in a biodegradable urn for burial .

cremation ashes may be scattered personally or through a service depending on the method of dispersal . if you choose to perform your own ash scattering , it is best to have one person at a time control the release from the container while the others observe . a group may take turns doing a partial scattering one at a time , or they might release the ashes simultaneously from smaller containers each containing a portion of the ashes .

however the scattering takes place , it is important to cast the ashes downwind to keep the remains from blowing onto your party . cremation ashes are not in any way a health risk , but some may find the contact disturbing or disrespectful . the ashes will consist of dense , sand - like matter and a few bone fragments that will likely fall to the ground quickly , but some will remain airborne in the form of a whitish - gray cloud upon dispersal .

ascension release – instead of being dispersed from the ground , another option is to have the ashes scattered from the sky . this is usually done by professionals , who cast the ashes from a private plane over sea or land . other options include - but are not limited to - hang gliders , hot air balloons and weather balloons . some will allow you to do the scattering yourself or will coordinate with your ceremony to fly over and scatter the ashes so that the dispersal can be seen from the ground .

there is no carping to be done with the details of a book such as this , because the text so manifestly serves noble purposes of consciousness and of conscience . earth and ashes is an ethical act that must be taken as a whole ; it transcends the ordinary categories of literature . rare is the book that warrants , for its moral illuminations , such pure esteem .

and cast it into the earth - margin , upon . the margin expresses undoubtedly the meaning . the symbol , therefore , properly denoted that fearful calamities were about to come upon the earth . even the prayers of saints did not prevail to turn them away , and now the symbol of the scattered coals indicated that terrible judgments were about to come upon the world .

( revised version ) . the angel now returns to the altar of burnt offering , whence he takes fire , which he casts upon the earth . this action denotes that god ' s judgments are about to descend on the earth , and it therefore forms the visible token of god ' s acceptance of the prayers of the saints , and his answer to them .

in addition to the more traditional avenues of cremation burial or preservation in a columbarium , the scattering of ashes is a meaningful and time - honored means of memorializing a loved one after cremation . there are several methods for the release of ashes that can be personalized in any number of ways . much of the decision depends on the wishes of the deceased and how those left behind want to honor that person’s memory . consider your choices carefully ; once the ashes are scattered they are gone forever , unless you keep a portion of the remains for remembrance or as part of a keepsake .

earth and ashes is a story of such spareness and power it leaves the reader reeling . set during the russian occupation of afghanistan , it is a fable about war , family , home and tradition . an old man and his grandson sit in a deserted landscape of dusty roads and looming mountains . what are they waiting for ? as we watch them we learn their story . . . atiq rahimi has managed to condense centuries of afghan history into his short tale of three very different generations . at the same time , he has created a story that is universal in its power .

for all the sympathy the book generates , the characters remain in many ways bewildering to a western reader . here one is forced to accept a culture different not only on its surface but also in its very conception of human relations . these characters think things we would never think and act in ways we would never act . earth and ashes opens a way into afghan life but keeps that life unfamiliar . this is one of its triumphs : it does not allow its readers the arrogance of identification .

“anyone seeking to understand why afghanistan is difficult and what decades of violence have done to its people should read atiq rahimi . he is a superb guide to a hard and complex land . ” —ryan crocker , former us ambassador to pakistan and iraq , and us envoy to afghanistan “the blasted dreamscape of rahimi’s story and his tightly controlled prose make this a sobering literary testament to the horrors of war . ” — publishers weekly “it has the feel of a book of great antiquity and authority ; you could more readily level the afghan mountains than damage the dreaming culture that earth and ashes both embodies and silently trusts . ” — london times “with this novel rahimi picks up a shard of broken glass and sees the whole truth of his devastated country . ” — der spiegel ( germany )

. on these coals no incense was placed , but they were thrown at once to the earth . the new emblem , therefore , is the taking of coals , and scattering them abroad as a symbol of the destruction that was about to ensue .

. this is a new symbol , designed to furnish a new representation of future events . by the former it had been shown that there would be much prayer offered ; by this it is designed to show that , notwithstanding the prayer that would be offered , great and fearful calamities would come upon the earth . this is symbolized by casting the censer upon the earth , as if the prayers were not heard any longer , or as if prayer were now in vain .

there are a variety of creative options for how and where the ashes are scattered . often , cremated remains are dispersed at a place that had personal or philosophical significance to the deceased . it can be a favorite destination such as a beach , forest or meadow ; or someplace that reflects the person’s everyday life such as a park , golf course or even their own home . keep in mind when choosing a location that there are laws governing the scattering of cremation remains . these laws vary from state to state and will affect how and where the ashes can be scattered , and whether you will need a permit to do so .

memorial crafting – a portion of the remains can be preserved inside a keepsake…or crafted into one . for example , a small amount of ashes can be handcrafted into glass - blown tokens , jewelry or glass art and inscribed with a memorial message . cremation ashes can also be mixed into charcoal , paint and tattoo ink , or used in a more involved process to create objects such as fireworks or even diamonds . many memorial crafts such as these are created by artists all over the country , so take the time to explore what possibilities are available to you .

atiq rahimi ( b . 1962 , kabul ) moved to pakistan in 1984 and finally to france where he received political asylum ; he then studied at the sorbonne . in 1992 - 1995 he shot several documentaries for french television . in 2000 his first novel , earth and ashes , was warmly received by french critics , and in 2004 the author transferred it to the screen as his first feature . the film was chosen for the section un certain regard at the recent festival in cannes . rahimi published another novel in france in 2002 , les milles maisons du rêve et de la terreur .

atiq rahimi’s earth and ashes tells an enormous story by way of a very small one . the narrative , written in the second person , describes the journey of an old man , dastaguir , with his grandson , yassin . they are going to see the grandfather’s son , the grandson’s father , murad , who works in a mine and wasn’t at home when his afghan village was destroyed by the russians and nearly everyone was killed . the first half of the book describes dastaguir’s wait with yassin at the roadside checkpoint for a truck to take them the final leg of their weeklong journey to the mine ; the second half is about dastaguir’s ride to and arrival at his destination .

earth and ashes is the spare , powerful story of an afghan man , dastaguir , trying desperately to reach his son murad , who has left his village to earn a living working at a mine . in the meantime the village has been bombed by the russian army , and dastaguir , with his newly - deaf grandson yassin in tow , must reach murad to tell him of the carnage . the old man is beset on all sides by sorrow , that of his grandson , who cannot understand , that of his son , who does not yet know , and his own , made even crueler by the message he must deliver .

" brevity is the sister of talent , " wrote anton chekhov , thinking of his short stories , in 1889 . his comment applies equally , if uneasily , to the heterogeneous fictions caught between the novel and the short story . post - conrad , james , woolf and rhys , the short novel is still often seen as a second - class form , lacking both the novel ' s scope and range and the manoeuvrability of the short story proper , which raymond carver loved because it " can be written and read in one sitting " . when the writing calls for a more muscular definition , publishers offer unwieldy conjunctions ( " short fictions " , " short prose " ) or duck the question altogether with " shorts " . two fictions from france , earth and ashes and desolation , inhabit this genre - bending ground .

the story of the village ' s destruction emerges bit by bit , while dastaguir distracts himself from his grief with simple objects : an apple , stones , chewing tobacco . following the old man ' s jumps of attention , earth and ashes progresses in choppy , disconnected paragraphs . even its conversations fail : yassin , deafened by the blast , repeats " water ! " , " all dead " or " don ' t ! " , unresponsive to his grandfather ' s pleas and rebukes . his uncomprehending deafness mirrors the book ' s own strangeness : filtered through dastaguir ' s apathetic gaze , its gathered fragments remain oddly unaffecting .

8 : 1 - 6 the seventh seal is opened . there was profound silence in heaven for a space ; all was quiet in the church , for whenever the church on earth cries through oppression , that cry reaches up to heaven ; or it is a silence of expectation . trumpets were given to the angels , who were to sound them . the lord jesus is the high priest of the church , having a golden censer , and much incense , fulness of merit in his own glorious person . would that men studied to know the fulness that is in christ , and endeavoured to be acquainted with his excellency . would that they were truly persuaded that christ has such an office as that of intercessor , which he now performs with deep sympathy . no prayers , thus recommended , was ever denied hearing and acceptance . these prayers , thus accepted in heaven , produced great changes upon earth . the christian worship and religion , pure and heavenly in its origin and nature , when sent down to earth and conflicting with the passions and worldly projects of sinful men , produced remarkable tumults , here set forth in prophetical language , as our lord himself declared , lu 12 : 49 .

there is some variety among the mss . in the order of the words here used . some place “lightnings” before “voices . ” these signs and sounds herald the approach of judgments . god has arisen in answer to the cry of his people . “the earth shook and trembled . there went up a smoke and a fire : coals were kindled at it . at the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed , hailstones and coals of fire . the lord also thundered in the heavens , and the highest gave his voice , hailstones and coals of fire . yea , he sent out his arrows , and scattered them : he shot out lightnings and discomfited them . . . he delivered me from my strong enemy” (

scattering by water – the remains are scattered onto a body of water from the shore , a dock or a boat . loved ones may place flowers , petals or floating candles into the water alongside the remains as a tribute . these will float on top of the water while the ashes sink below the surface .

written by atiq rahimi , an afghan political exile in paris , and translated by erdag m goknar , earth and ashes was acclaimed in france as a baffling " prodigy " . " novel , short story , fable ? " wondered one critic . at barely 60 pages , the question is apt . rahimi ' s book follows an old man , dastaguir , and his grandson , yassin , sole survivors of a russian bomb that devastated their village , as they carry the news to the mine where the boy ' s father works . their long wait at a dusty border post is narrated by dastaguir in a strained second person , both inviting the reader to share his experiences and insisting on his own detachment from them . the cumulative effect is one of shocked numbness : the old man speaks to himself as though to a stranger , issuing fragmented pleas , questions and instructions : " put the box back . think of something else . "

earth and ashes ‘s story is just eighty - one pages long , more the length of an epic poem than a novel . it shares with poetry a simultaneous richness and discipline of language – one feels the economy of expression in every sentence , but there is a lushness , too , in the barren context of the narrative . the most lyrical writing is inside quotation marks , the author giving his characters a more poignant eloquence than he claims for himself , an eloquence that the translation seems to sustain . a shopkeeper says to dastaguir , “you know , father , sorrow can turn to water and spill from your eyes , or it can sharpen your tongue into a sword , or it can become a time bomb that , one day , will explode and destroy you . ” yassin has gone deaf from the sound of the bombs , but he attributes the quiet to the world rather than to himself , and he says , “the bomb was huge . it brought silence . the tanks took away people’s voices and left . they even took grandfather’s voice away . grandfather can’t talk anymore , he can’t scold me . ”

the often spare and elliptical narration , and the very effective descriptions of the weariness and worry of the most simple actions and exchanges , work very well . this is a powerful , understated work - - but in conveying the complete crushing of these souls so well is also horribly , horribly bleak .

has murad turned away from tradition and family , and embraced the ways of the outsiders ? has he forgotten what matters ? it all turns out to be more complicated ; it also turns out that dastaguir and murad and yassin have been entirely disenfranchised , powerless against those who can much more easily ( and forcefully ) impose their will . ultimately , too , there is nowhere for them to turn , and dastaguir and yassin will , essentially , walk back out into the wilderness , as their world has been taken from them .

" earth and ashes " is a fable about devastating loss , redemption and the perseverance of the human spirit when confronted with the atrocities of war . more info : urltoken

short novels lend themselves to fable and allegory , constantly negotiating between their own neatly bounded spaces and the tangled sprawl of politics and society . where the 1 , 400 - page sweep of war and peace , say , is inextricably engaged with the society it describes , retreat to the confines of a novella may suggest the deliberate isolation of dissent .

atiq rahimi , whose reputation for writing war stories of immense drama and intimacy began with this , his first novel , has managed to condense centuries of afghan history into a short tale of three very different generations . but he has also created a universal story about fathers and sons , and the terrible strain inflicted on those bonds of family during the unpredictable carnage of war .

slowly , dastaguir ' s story can be pieced together , as it is explained why he is here now , and , for example , why the young boy is now deaf ( though the boy himself barely realizes it ) . the story is set during the soviet occupation of afghanistan in the 1980s . while not indomitable , the foreigners are a powerful presence and the crushing force they can apply directly - - and horribly - - affected dastaguir and the village he comes from ; they also control the mine where murad works .

yasmina reza , another parisian , has drawn on camus and houellebecq ' s brutal accounts of alienation for her own short novel . in desolation , translated by carol brown janeway , the ageing narrator , samuel , addresses a series of reflections and complaints to his absent son . samuel ' s mordant comments balance precariously between relish and bitterness : their acerbic charm is always on the verge of turning rancid .

this is an extraordinary short story or novella . it is the story of a grandfather and grandson travelling together to find their son / father respectively . it sounds like a simple story , but it is based during the russian occupation of afghanistan and blends great tragedy with honest thoughts and feelings of the characters whilst also making reference to the eleventh century , persian , book of kings . it is absolutely transferrable to the present day and could easily be a story of a family in the very recent past ! this book was a recommendation for me based on other books i had read . it was a great recommendation and i will definitely read more from this author .

the book is partly allegorical : the characters represent the problems of afghanistan and stand in for a much larger ravaged population . it conveys with heartbreaking clarity the quality of a destroyed country and its courageous , nearly annihilated inhabitants . what is perhaps most terrifying of all is that this book is set during the russian invasion of afghanistan ; this is how bad things were before the mujahideen and the taliban . we have become somewhat inured to the horror , so much of which we witnessed on news broadcasts , until we thought we knew it . here it is once again made incomprehensible to us . dastaguir and murad and yassin are the voices of this national despair , but the book is also the compelling narrative of individual afflictions . your heart is in your throat as dastaguir approaches the mine ; you are deeply pained by the sadness and confusion with which he approaches a world broken beyond recognition ; and you are filled with wonderment at the unbreachable fact of his survival . we get lost in his dreams and in his fears and most of all in his immediate quandary : is it better to go and tell murad what has happened , to bring such miserable news to someone who may now be innocent of it , or would it be better to turn around and go home , leaving murad some further time to live without this knowledge , which cannot do anything but injure him ? then again , would it injure him less to hear of it from his old father than to hear the dread words from a stranger ?

old dastagir and his grandson yassin climb out of a truck in the middle of the arid afghan landscape and set out on foot along a dusty road . they eventually come to a bridge over a dry riverbed . their road continues through the desert to a far away valley where yassin’s father is supposed to work . the old man tries to find a truck that’s going their way . he wants to tell his son that bombs have destroyed their village and that only he and yassin survived . hours pass by and in his sorrow the exhausted old man doesn’t know what to do . he is trapped in his thoughts of the terrible night when his whole family died and little yassin went deaf . because he is afraid that the horrifying news will evoke righteous anger in his son and a desire for revenge , he somewhat subconsciously postpones their meeting . he confides his worries in the people he meets : the bridge guard , a kindly shopkeeper , and a mysterious woman who is also waiting – all are victims of a war which is still going on somewhere off screen . based on his own novel , the filmmaker located the movie on the road connecting kabul with northern afghanistan , which passes through an incredibly photogenic landscape : an undulating desert between mountains . the timeframe of the old man’s journey to find his son is not precisely specified , thus the story takes on the nature of a parable of desperation caused by destructive loss , and of the need and ability of the human spirit to face the horrors of war . the director cast non - actors from among the local inhabitants .

shabri , directed by lalit marathe stars eesha koppikar , raj arjun , pradeep rawat and zakir hussain in pivotal roles and is produced by ram gopal varma . though shabri was being touted as a story of a woman gangster , the film is less of an underworld drama and more of a revenge plot with the underworld as the backdrop .

, even shabri is a woman of few words with ice in her veins . content being an average flour - mill worker , circumstances force her to turn a gangster .

shabri’s neighborhood is full of young jobless desperate boys whose heroes are the local matka gambling den operators . her brother bandya looks up to murad who runs a matka den .

the shabri actor will be trying her hands at the hospitality businessisha koppikar hasn’t been particularly lucky , as far as her film career is concerned . her last film , shabri , though critically acclaimed ; didn’t do very well at the box office . the makers have passed the blame on to poor marketing and bad timing but all [ … ]

“i wanted to take the story of shabri forward and so i scripted an exciting sequel . ever since shabri’s release got delayed , i used this time to write my first novel , which is about my journey as a filmmaker and my experiences during the making of the film , ” says marathe , who has written films like bhoot in the past .

hounded by the cops as well as the matka kingpins , shabri rises to take charge of her life . making sure this time that things turn u [ exactly the way she wants .

unlike popular insinuation , this is not a movie based on a female mafiosi . instead , it follows shabri ( isha ) , the slum woman , on the run . mayank shekhar writes .

reliance entertainment and ram gopal varma’s shabri ( a ) is the story of survival , dignity , determination and triumph of a simple woman in the face of adversity . shabri ( eesha koppikar ) works in a flour mill to support her parents and a younger brother , bandya ( vijay khadechkar ) , who is struggling to find a means of livelihood . bandya looks up to murad ( newfind raj arjun ) who runs a matka den . on his part , murad has a soft corner for both , shabri and bandya . he does not want bandya to follow in his footsteps .

shabri is an upcoming indian film directed by lalit marathe and produced by ram gopal varma . it is about a woman , played by ishaa koppikar , who becomes the first female crime lord in mumbai .

shabri isn ' t talkative like i am . her passion and intensity had to be portrayed without much words , which was extremely challenging for me as an actor . ( in eesha koppikhar ' s own words )

now , murad and his partner , vilas ( manish wadhwa ) , flee the city with shabri . but rajdharbhau closes in on murad and vilas . murad is killed . shabri then swears revenge against rajdharbhau , the man who took away all she ever had . is she able to avenge the murders ? or does the arm of law on the one hand and the matka king’s reach on the other prove to be too much for her ?

plot : day in and day out as she powers on the grinding machine of her flour mill shabri senses time is running out for her . she wants to live her life her own way but is burdened with reponsbility of supporting her parents and younger brother . opportunity presents itself in the most unlikely way and shabri a common working woman from a mumbai slum ends up threatening the biggest corridors of power in the matka gambling underworld of the city .

shabri’s only hope murad discovers how incapable he is of helping her in dire need . his desperation lands them in further trouble as he ends up killing his immediate boss kisnya , the brother of the notorious matka don , rajdharbhau .

in ramu ' s movie shabri , isha plays a woman who runs a crime racket from a mumbai chawl . in accordance with her character , isha sports a non - glamorized look in the film and even speaks foul language .

shabri is the story a simple woman from a mumbai slum who ends up shaking the biggest corridors of power in the matka underworld . it’s a story of survival , dignity , determination and human triumph in the face of impossible odds .

i have been to shabri more than 3 times and it never fails to make us happy . the employees are very professional and humble and they follow the instructions . food is always filling and tasty and clean . the price is very affordable .

isn’t exactly an intricate underworld drama that traces the upsurge and downfall of its female protagonist . it is more of a basic revenge plot with an underworld backdrop . when his brother is unjustly killed in police custody , shabri ( esha koppikhar ) kills the cop and goes absconding . an underworld bookie murad ( raj arjun ) helps her go underground and in turn enrages his boss , the underworld head rajdhar bhau ( pradeep rawat ) . when rajdhar bhau kills murad , shabri swears to seek revenge .

lalit marathe’s first directorial venture shabri featuring isha koppikar is all set to release this weekend ( august 26 ) and the director has already planned a sequel to the film . penned by marathe himself , shabri has been in the making for almost five years and was stalled at the post - production stage . marathe used the time to not only write a sequel to the film , the script of which is almost complete , but to also author a book about the film’s making titled a dog’s friday .

but the major limitation of the narrative is that it spans a very short period in the life of shabri which ends with her induction into underworld . the only usp of this otherwise conventional underworld drama is the gender of its protagonist and it would have been more gratifying experience to see the functioning of the female form in a powerful position . but by the time shabri gains authority , the film has already reached its end credits . on that note , the film fails to tap its prime potential .

one day , the innocent bandya is rounded up along with other unruly boys of the neighbourhood by the dreaded police inspector khare ( datta sonawane ) . bandya succumbs to police torture . this infuriates shabri so much that she ends up violating the law . much as murad would like to help shabri , he realises that he is helpless . murad’s desperation leads him to kill his immediate boss , kisnya ( niraj kumar ) , who is the brother of rajdharbhau ( pradeep rawat ) , the matka don of the city .

home of gold gch pioneer " shabri - el ' s " shaken bacon - - america ' s # 1 m astiff bitch all systems 2014 and 2015 . 2016 mcoa bob in texas ! ! ! ! ! ! ! thank you judge holly scott ! ! !

when a plot is overdone to the core and tried over and over again , the audience soon tends to lose interest . this is what happens to shabari . it would have been refreshing to see the female protagonist take over the world and show more authority and power . unfortunately , by the time shabri gains authority , the film has almost reached the end . the narrative could have been a little more in depth and covered a larger part of shabri " s life , thus getting the audience to ' connect " with the character .

this fellow pumps a full round of bullets on a man he’s been trying to get hold of for a while . his victim happens to be shabri’s partner . she and this dead partner had together killed the said don’s brother . the don , who’s rightly mad , gets another gun out , starts shooting at the dead - body all over again . he still patiently leaves shabri , the partner in crime , alone to wail in the corner of his den . that’s a pretty dumb don , if you ask me . the slum girl merrily leaves , wants to kill him off now . good for her .

shabri lives an impoverished lifestyle along with her mother ; alcoholic father ; and younger brother , bandya . she is the sole earner in her family and embittered at the manner in which life has treated her . she not only chastises bandya for spending too much time on the street with a goon , murad , instead of focusing in his studies but also her father . things take a turn for the worst when bandya is arrested by inspector khare and tortured in the police station . when shabri goes to see him , khare attempts to molest her , but she manages to escape . the next day bandya is found dead allegedly on the grounds that he tried to escape from police custody . refusing to believe this ' version ' , shabri takes a knife and goes to confront khare . it is this confrontation that will result in khare ' s death with his own service revolver , resulting in a manhunt from vikhroli to bhendi bazar , and she will be compelled to seek murad ' s help to go in hiding . but things are only to worsen when a heavily pressured murad decides to enlist the assistance of kisnya bhau , the brother of gangster , rajdharbhau , resulting in more danger for not only shabri but also her parents .

with the release of shabri , one more film has been added to the list of movies made on the underworld . films like satya ( 1998 ) and vaastav ( 1999 ) did well at the time as it had a realistic feel to it . sarkar , starring amitabh bachchan and abhishek bachchan also did average business at the box office .

shabri lives an impoverished lifestyle along with her mother ; alcoholic father ; and younger brother , bandya . she is the sole earner in her family and embittered at the manner in which life has treated her . she not only chastises bandya for spending too much time on the street with a goon , murad , instead of focusing in his studies but also her father . things take a turn for the worst when bandya is arrested by inspector khare and tortured in the police station . when shabri goes to see him , khare attempts to molest her , but she manages to escape . the next day bandya is found dead allegedly on the grounds that he tried to escape from police custody . refusing to believe this ' version ' , shabri takes a knife and goes to confront khare . it is this confrontation that will result in khare ' s death with his own service revolver , resulting in a manhunt from vikhroli to bhendi bazar , and she will be compelled to seek murad ' s help to go in hiding . but things are only to worsen when a heavily . . .

apparently , a standoff between marathe and producer ram gopal varma , delayed shabri . however , clearing the air , marathe says , “there was never an issue between rgv and me . he read my script and really liked it and encouraged me to direct the film . he showed immense faith in me and never interfered with my work . he supported me in every possible way . it was like i got everything on a platter . ”

eesha koppikar delivers a very good performance in the title role . she plays the avenging angel very efficiently . raj arjun is good . manish wadhwa also does well . pradeep rawat is effective . zakir hussain is brilliant as inspector qazi . he is delightful to watch . sanjay kulkarni ( as inspector kadam ) and datta sonawane ( as inspector khare ) lend good support . niraj kumar , kishore nandlaskar ( as shabri’s father ) , vimal mhatre ( as shabri’s mother ) , vijay khadechkar ( as bandya ) and swapnil dinkar ( bandya’s friend ) provide able support . parvez fazal khan , ragesh asthana , shridhar patil , sudhir mayekar , ishaaque , jaya kolekar , santosh shetty , dhanu , wilson , ganesh shetty , babla , ashok mhatre , sharad gurav , raj solomon , pramodini , sunil jadhav , sugath uthle , balwant jadhav , rajendra jadhav , aslam wadkar , sagar kale and navnath fill the bill .

shabri is undoubtedly the best performance of eesha koppikar till date . the actress who has got nothing but a few item numbers and ' not - so - great " roles to boast about surprises you with her ability to emote . though eesha did not have too many dialogues to deliver , she did excellently well through her expressions and body language . raj arjun and pradeep rawat have both shown that they can act well . zakir hussain gets repetitive in his erratic act . over all

shabri the restaurant is a life style restaurant operated by the educators passionate about healthy dinning and motivated by happy dinning experiences . our wide range of food varieties , swiss delicacies and freshly baked items are already renowned in the town . besides , a rare presence of swiss vintage coffee machine makes the perfect cup of coffee and you can certainly enjoy himalayan buckwheat tea unlimited fill up . must try is also our masala tea in old fashioned glass and mini muffin . just try for yourself and make this place your hang out place .

unlike popular insinuation , this is not a movie based on a female mafiosi either . instead , it follows shabri ( isha ) , the slum woman , on the run . the movie’s main don is a well - built , oldish man in white , who runs an odd sort of mini - empire . he shoots his colleagues and minions dead - - as and when he feels like . a loyal man friday serves him heavy meals . what’s cooking , is roughly what he always wants to know . ‘matka’ ( illegal gambling ) , it appears , is his core line of business . but he was once a wrestler , back home in his village .

made on a shoestring budget of around rs 3 crore , the filmmaker claims he shot at various slums and streets and other common locations across mumbai to keep the cost in check . the film was well received internationally too and was the opening film at the rome film festival in 2006 .

now that the film is all set to hit cinemas , marathe is keeping his fingers crossed .

the story of rama and shabari is an inspiring example from the treasure house of hindu mythology bearing testimony to the efficacy of true devotion and divine grace . the character of shabari is an epitome of patience , perseverance , devotion , purity and spirit of service . though the meeting between rama and shabari lasted only for a few minutes , it contained a decisive moment when all her penance and devotion were duly rewarded by rama .

shabari was born in a hunter’s family . though she belonged to a clan that was fully given away to killing animals through cruel ways , by birth shabari was averse to killing and causing harm to animals on any grounds including for fun or for food . differing from the ways of the family , she resisted non vegetarian food . it was a usual practice in the family of hunters to sacrifice animals during weddings . unable to bear the harm that would befall animals , she ran away from the family just before her forced marriage .

shabari was wandering in the forest and being hungry , she approached the hermitage of sage mathanga asking for food . at the first sight of this humble lady , sage mathanga realized that she was a great soul . therefore , he invited her to stay in the ashram engaging herself in the service of the community there . shabari was more than pleased to take up the tasks of cleaning and housekeeping at the ashram . she was greatly devoted to sage mathanga and was rendering a selfless service to him with a great sense of devotion and dedication .

by nature , forests are rugged in their surface . it is quite natural to find stones , pebbles , twigs , dry leaves and thorns all around . every day , the sage used a particular route to reach the river nearby to complete his morning ablutions . shabari deemed maintaining this route in a perfect way free of thorns and pebbles as her top priority . in order to see that the road is free of thorns , she used to lie down and roll on the way so that the thorns prick on her body and are removed so that the sage’s feet are not hurt .

after years of staying in the ashram , the final moments of the sage appeared . when sage mathanga disclosed this to shabari , she pleaded that she too would have the privilege of merging in him before he left the world . but the sage said she was a lucky one and her good deeds and penance over the years had earned her a great fortune of having the darshan of sri rama when he would be on his way years later in search of mother sita . the sage asked her to wait for those blessed moments .

rama and lakshmana were passing by the route in search of mother sita . rama had known the divine task awaiting him in the ashram of sage matanga and therefore they both entered the hermitage . all over the years , shabari was waiting for rama as instructed by sage mathanga . shabari had gathered the wild fruits for rama which she offered him with great devotion . in order to source the best ones , she would bite them and check before offering them to the lord . her innocent devotion pleased the lord who granted her liberation before leaving the place .

( 1999 ) , it had to its merit an unheard - of story and a realistic hard - hitting setup . several spin - offs followed by the same filmmakers and their protégés and over the years , the underworld arena was exploited to such an extent that it left practically no scope for innovation .

is an offshoot of the same recycled phenomena , having a been - there - seen - that effect .

the film , delayed by more than half a decade , belongs to the era when the underworld genre had turned as much old as much as ram gopal varma’s obsession with it . ramu’s protégé writer - director lalit marathe gets the grammar of the genre as much correct as his mentor’s better works . everything from the pallid colour tone to the caustic editing patterns reminds of rgv of yore . the camera movements and sound effects were more poised and persuasive then .

also marathe’s direction is more subtle and suggestive as he conveys more through the scene per se than using literal dialogue . like rgv’s common cold - blooded protagonists from randeep hooda’s

other than that the writing gets convoluted and confusing in the second half with the introduction of a scheming cop ( zakir hussain ) . the viewer never gets to comprehend his clear intentions and his track doesn’t contribute much to the story per se . the end , despite having a shock value , is too conveniently achieved . also for an underworld action drama , the pacing is quite slow .

while esha koppikhar’s performance can’t be tagged as outstanding , it certainly is her most impactful act till date . with a hardboiled character that doesn’t demand too much of dialogues , expressions or histrionics , it never goes wrong if the actor is able to maintain a dignified restrain in their act , and esha succeeds in doing that . in a sari - clad avatar and a brazen look throughout , the girl known for her glamourous image , pulls off a divergently different character with poise . raj arjun is decent and pradeep rawat is sufficiently authoritative . zakir hussain gets repetitive in his erratic act .

he has just 2 weeks left & i need rs . 5 . 5 lakh to save him .

the sensetive murad wants bandya to have a better life than him . years ago he was suked into the black hole of survival that the neighborhood breeds and does not want bandya study , get a degree and break free from the shackles of the slums . he helps bandya with money time and again and inspires him of a world beyond .

what’s good : the fast pace of the film ; eesha and zakir hussain’s performances .

lalit marathe’s story is the usual tale of oppression of the poor by the rich and influential . the difference , however , is that the protagonist in this case is a female instead of the usual male in subjects of this kind . other than this , the story affords no novelty . marathe’s screenplay is also routine as there’s more of plotting and planning , swearing revenge and actual confrontation scenes than anything else . although there’s nothing wrong with the screenplay of the revenge drama , its biggest drawback is that it is too routine to make much of an impact . lalit marathe’s dialogues are quite nice and go with the film’s mood .

director lalit marathe has succeeded in conveying volumes through his scenes and expressions that he has derived out of his actors rather than literal dialogues .

it is usually the male who is the focus in an underworld story . however , this time around the spotlight is on the female lead eesha koppikar which is rather experimental .

the second half lacks the punch that exists in the first half of the film . one would wish that the story be faster paced and gripping , considering that it an action packed story on the underworld .

a recent decision by the delhi government , where the forest department had allowed the felling of about 17 , 000 full - grown trees as part of the redevelopment of central government housing projects in south delhi , has sparked protests from citizens , activists and environmentalists . although the ministry of housing and urban affairs ( mohua ) has stated that ‘compensatory plantation’ of trees is being carried out in a ratio of 1 : 10 , many environmentalists are not convinced as the saplings planted at a different location cannot substitute the huge tree cover which would be cleared away .

the biggest compliment that came my way was when once , the guards at the set refused to allow me inside because they couldn ' t recognise me . ( in eesha koppikhar ' s own words )

i painfully prepared for the role and in order to get into the skin of the character , i stopped washing my hair , stopped going to parlours for waxing , threading etc . on sets , i used to sit on the ground ( sometimes next to bins ) to have food or drink tea .

this is lead actor isha koppikar’s second film on female empowerment , if you may . the first one was a lesbian love - triangle called girlfriend ( yeah , i’m kidding . of course ) . the times of india , i recall , had a three - word review for that 2004 masterpiece . it merely said : “avoidable . very avoidable . ” this one , in comparison , is infinitely better . for sure .

the heroine is tanned from above the neck ( strikingly fair - skinned around the shoulders ) . she’s supposed to be a street urchin . her young brother’s randomly picked up by the police and killed in custody . for no apparent reason . she bumps off that rogue cop in return . the screen is dust - brown , dark , dingy , even grainy in parts . drama mostly takes place either indoors or on quiet , sanitised gullies . there’s very little mumbai in this city film .
