15:00 SUNDAY AFTERNOON MOVIE
Director:Vishal Bharadwaj
Cast: Shabana Azmi, Shweta Prasad, Makrand Deshpande, Alaap
Story:Makdee is the story of a witch who supposedly turns children into animals if they stray into her villa. The village is abuzz with stories about children who walked into the witch's lair and never returned.
The evil lurking in the hamlet established, the film shifts to the antics of local brat Chunni (Shwetaa Prasad). Along with the adopted son of the village butcher (Makarand Deshpande), Chunni impersonates her twin Munni to escape from trouble. Chunni’s partner in fun and crime, the hilariously named Mughal-e-Azam (Alaap Majgavkar) is the butcher's adopted son.
The light moments pass quickly when Chunni's pranks lead to Munni being chased into the witch's villa, only for her to reappear as a hen. A stricken Chunni confronts the witch who lays down a set of demands in exchange for her sister's return to human form.
