The complexity of blood relations and their stereotypes in modern times often amazes us. Can two sisters share a mature relationship beyond jealousy? Can a mother alone be enough support for her daughters? Directed by biographer Kale, the film ‘Tighi’ is woven around these human sensibilities. The film reinforces the philosophy that relationships are a product of circumstances and sometimes ‘unity in adversity’ proves to be the greatest balm.
The fabric of the story
The film itself begins with a lot of tension. Swati (Neha Pendse) is struggling with a double front – in her professional life she has to deal with a bad boss (Jamini Pathak) who owes her debts, and in her personal life her marriage to Malhar (Pushkarraj Chirputkar) is at a critical juncture. But the biggest burden is his mother Hemalta (Bharti Achrekar), who is battling terminal cancer. At the other end of the story is Swati’s younger sister Sarika (Sonali Kulkarni). Raised by the same mother under the same roof, these two sisters have very different personalities, which brings the film very close to real life.
Shadows and deep secrets of the past
In a household where only sad memories remain, an impending tragic event often brings the scattered members closer together. This trio of ‘Tighi’ reminds us of our own complicated relationships. The main attraction of the film is ‘Dark Secret’, which Hemalta has kept hidden in her chest for years.As the secret unfolds for Swati and Sarika, who spent a fatherless childhood, the audience understands how that one piece of information not only shaped their childhood, but also affected their adult relationships with the men in their lives.

Coordination of acting and directing
Bharathi Achrekar as Hemalta gives a performance that tugs at the heartstrings. He has brought alive the helplessness of the disease and the guilt of the past through his eyes and voice fluctuations. Neha Pendse and Sonali Kulkarni also strike a wonderful balance in their respective roles, making the tension between the two sisters seem very real.
