In Toh Ti Ani Fuji, former lovers find that the old saw about distance and the heart still cuts deep. Mohit Takalkar’s Marathi film, written by Irawati Karnik and out on Sony LIV, explores a relationship held together by passion and ripped apart by pressure.
A man and a woman – let’s call them Toh (He) and Ti (She) since that’s what the movie does – meet again seven years after they parted. Despite their tumultuous history, their chemistry is intact.
Toh (Lalit Prabhakar) runs into Ti (Mrinmayee Godbole) in Tokyo, where she now lives with her son who does have a name, Kartikeya (Kabir Jueelee Deven). Back home, Toh and Ti were so invested in each other that they ignored the warning signs and shut out the alarm bells.
Might their Tokyo story have a happier outcome? Far away from their roots, amidst gorgeous locales and calming Japanese elders, they look back on what they lost.
