Bhai - Vyakti Ki Valli - Uttarardha is a 2019 Indian Marathi-language biographical drama film directed by Mahesh Manjrekar. The film is the second and final part of the biographical drama film Bhai - Vyakti Ki Valli, which portrays the life and times of the Marathi writer, playwright and actor Purushottam Laxman Deshpande, popularly known as Pu La.

The first part of the film, Bhai - Vyakti Ki Valli - Purvardha, was released in January 2019 and focused on Pu La's career as a writer and his personal life until the 1960s. The second part, Bhai - Vyakti Ki Valli - Uttarardha, continues the story from where the first part left off, covering the last two decades of Pu La's life, a time of great social and political upheaval in India.

The film features an ensemble cast of highly acclaimed Marathi actors, with Satish Alekar reprising his role as Pu La, and Sunil Barve and Amol Bawdekar playing prominent supporting roles. The film also features Kishore Kadam, Ila Bhate, and Iravati Harshe in important roles.

The film opens with Pu La returning to India after spending several years in the United States, where he had gone to work as a visiting professor of Marathi literature at the University of Chicago. Back in India, Pu La finds himself struggling to adapt to the changes that have taken place in the country during his absence. He is dismayed by the increasing intolerance and violence that he sees around him, and feels that his beloved Pune, the city that he called his home, is no longer the same.

As Pu La tries to come to terms with the changes in his country, he also has to deal with personal challenges. His health is failing, and he is coping with the loss of his wife Sunita, who passed away a few years earlier. In the midst of all this, Pu La continues to write, publish, and perform, using his wit and humor to engage with the world around him.

The film explores Pu La's relationships with his family, his friends, and his audience, highlighting the impact that he had on the people around him. It also examines Pu La's political views and his involvement in the social and political movements of his time. Through the lens of Pu La's life, the film reflects on the broader social and political changes that took place in India in the latter half of the 20th century.

Mahesh Manjrekar's direction is subtle and nuanced, allowing the performances of the actors to shine through. Satish Alekar's portrayal of Pu La is masterful, capturing the writer's charm, wit, and vulnerability. Sunil Barve and Amol Bawdekar are also excellent, bringing depth and nuance to their respective roles.

The film is visually stunning, with the cinematography capturing the beauty of Pune and the surrounding areas. The music, composed by Ajit Parab, is also a highlight, with several memorable songs that add to the film's emotional resonance.

Overall, Bhai - Vyakti Ki Valli - Uttarardha is a fitting tribute to one of Marathi literature's most beloved writers, and an insightful meditation on the life and times of a man who left an indelible mark on Indian culture.
