SYNOPSIS


HU TU TU is a Story of the game life plays with us.... the game life and its circumstances played with Panna, the daughther of Chief Minister Malti Barve. Panna still remembers when her mother, the Chief Minister, was only a teacher in a small school in the village of Shewri. Panna had also witnessed the transformation of her mother from a teacher to Chief Minister.

Tabu HU TU TU is a story about that transition and how it effected Panna's family and other people who were involved.... by circumstances....

Panna's father, Amol Barve owned a small gur-chakki in the village. Panna was their only daughter. It was a small close-knit family, until life dealt its first hand - Malti Bai was introduced to Sawantrao Gadre, the elected representative of the village constituency, who recruited her to head the Mahila Kendra he had come to set up in the village. Malti was a good social worker, with a natural affinity to the village people. Her popularity increased, and slowly, so did her influence. Malti began to enjoy the power she wielded, even reveled in it. To add to her joy, a son was born to her Arun.

As Malti's popularity continued to soar Sawantrao Gadre offered to induct her into the mainstream affairs of the party. Malti convinced her husband that the entire family should move to the city. Amol Barve was a simple man, an emotional man. He couldn't deprive his wife her tryst with success. The family moved to Bombay.

The years passed and Malti Barve grew from party worker to Cabinet member in Sawantrao Gadre's cabinet. Amol Barve had been working as a Contractor in the Construction business. Arun had returned from abroad after completing his education. Panna was in the police academy. The small, close knit family from Shewri had slowly disintegrated. Arun was his mother's pet, in awe of the power and influence she commanded. Panna, on the other hand, was alienated from the two. However, at some level, she was still attached to her father.

Panna had grown into a brash, foul mouthed young girl, with little regard for her mother's position. She had seen her mother's rise to power and all the trappings that came along with it. The wealth, status, corruption, bribes and intoxication of unquestioned authority. She didn't agree with her mothers choices in life and this led to constant tension between them. Panna found her soul mate in Adi, Aditya Patel, the only son of wealthy industrialist P.N. Patel. There was a bond between the two, a bond that arose out of the need to belong, which their materialistic families failed to fulfill. They shared similar views on corruption, the wealth it generated and the illicit power that the wealth could purchase. Nana Patekar

Panna had a stabilizing influence in her father. But Adi had no such person in his family. His mother had died when he was a child. His school teacher, Joshi master had filled the void. Morally, spiritually and emotionally, Adi considered Joshi master to be his father figure and visited him of ten at his basti. It was on one such visit to Joshi master's basti, that Adi and Panna has seen Bhau for the first time. Bhau was a Dalit street-poet, with shades of a revolutionary within him that peeped out from time to time. He travelled with his troupe, singing and dancing, uplifting the morale of the hopeless and safeguarding the rights of the exploited. Bhau was the voice of the common person. Adi and Panna were mesmerized by Bhau's poetry-the angst, the pain and the outcry against the corrupt political system, it was all there, in his smile and his satire. Adi, Panna and Bhau's association was to go further into future.

Bhau was constant source of trouble for Malti Bai. He was constantly aware of her games, as well as the game of other politicians. He would come to her with grievances of the people, and in his own poetic way, forebode her of the consequences of deceiving the common people. Somehow, Malti Bai could never stand up to him. Panna has seen Bhau interact with her mother and it had left a lasting impression on her. Panna looked up to Bhau, for his stand, his principles.

Panna, Aditya, Bhau, Malti Barve, Amol Barve, Sawantrao Gadre and others. Each character with a story to tell, with its own emotions, strengths, weakness, its dreams and aspirations. An Intricate combination of events brings these characters at crossroads, various times through, the story.
Some circumstances are pleasant, other painful.
Certain situations have a solution. Others demand a heavy price.......

HU TU TU is about the choices that one makes when life puts on a crossroad. When there are no easy answers.

But you play on .....

Because it's all part of the game.
