OyeG Review
Natarang is about a farmer Guna Kagalkar (Atul Kulkarni), who is also a village wrestler with bulging muscles. He lives with his wife (Vibhavari Deshpande) and children along with his old father (Yakoob Sayeed).
He is passionate about ‘Tamasha’ a Maharashtrian dance form with ‘Lavnis’ (seductive songs). His ultimate dream is to play a king’s role in ‘Tamasha’ and so he gathers a team of unemployed friends of the village and starts his own. He has to face difficulties to make it happen, as he himself plays the role of ‘Nachya.’
Eventually, he has to lose his wife because of the ‘Tamasha.’ ‘Natarang’ is threaded around local politics, competition between various ‘Tamasha’ troupes, gay artistes, etc.
