What happens next is ably summed up by the John Lennon quote that Mukund’s maternal uncle Narumama (Jitendra Joshi) imparts to him: Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. Surya likes Kevada (Mukta Vaidya) who never returns his affection, while Mukund falls for Shirodkar (Ketaki Mategaonkar) who too likes him. But as in wont with children of that age, Mukund and Surya have other plans. Teachers stress on studying well as they would soon be appearing for their Board Exams. Mukund Joshi (Anshuman Joshi) and Surya Mhatre (Ketan Pawar) are best friends in the 9 th standard. The story takes place within the backdrop of the Emergency in a rural Maharashtrian town. Shala, a Marathi film directed by debutant Sujay Dahake, and adapted from the novel by Milind Bokil, is a film that will take you back to your school days, making you relive your moments of friendship, love: lost and won, freedom and growing up.
Shala (School) begins with a quote by Jim Morrison: “I am free.” In my mind, a film could not go wrong from there.
