Take away from Marathi movie Khatyar Kaljat Ghusali


Recently one of the best Marathi movie was released “ Khatyar Kaljat Ghusali” directed by Subodh Bhave ( Release date November 2015). The movie has set the standard very high for Marathi movies. This movie is an adaptation of a musical Marathi play with same name.

The outstanding feature of the movie is the importance given to art and artist which is often neglected in many of the Indian movies.

Performance of Sachin (ageless actor of Indian cinema) is exceptionally great in personifying the artist with a self destructive ego.

In this movie Sadashiv ( Character name) finds it difficult to get the right master for acquiring knowledge, at that time Rajkavi gives importance of art by comparing it with knowledge. The discussion is very important as it is knowledge which is considered supreme and the art is ignored. The discussion led me to search for the difference between Knowledge, Wisdom and Insight. The search landed me to a website http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/what-are-the-differences-between-knowledge-wisdom-and-insight.html where the difference was well brought out.

I wish to reproduce here the difference for a better understanding:

“Knowledge is the accumulation of facts and data that you have learned about or experienced. It’s being aware of something, and having information. Knowledge is really about facts and ideas that we acquire through study, research, investigation, observation, or experience.

Wisdom is the ability to discern and judge which aspects of that knowledge are true, right, lasting, and applicable to your life. It’s the ability to apply that knowledge to the greater scheme of life. It’s also deeper; knowing the meaning or reason; about knowing why something is, and what it means to your life.

Insight is the deepest level of knowing and the most meaningful to your life. Insight is a deeper and clearer perception of life, of knowledge, of wisdom. It’s grasping the underlying nature of knowledge, and the essence of wisdom. Insight is a truer understanding of your life and the bigger picture of how things intertwine.

In a nutshell: If knowledge is information, wisdom is the understanding and application of that knowledge and insight is the awareness of the underlying essence of a truth.”

Besides stellar performance by Sachin, Movie highlights the journey of artist and his fight with himself.

To understand the journey and the plight of an artist movie is worth watching.
