The film portrays the struggle of a creative mind that dares to think different. A young artist Gunavantrao Kagalkar or "Guna" (portrayed by Atul Kulkarni) who decides to go beyond his family, his friends, the society and above all his own imagination to achieve a dream unthinkable. A story set in the 1970s in a small village of a Maharashtra in India, digs into the deep-rooted gender politics revealed through incidents in an artist’s life.
Guna, a poor village labourer, nurtures an obsession for Tamasha - a popular theatrical folk art form of Maharashtra. It is his dream to play the king once in his life. Unforeseen circumstances land him in situation where he sets up a theatre company. But its survival now depends on inclusion of Nachya, (A man who performs a woman’s role in theatre) a mandatory in the Tamasha. The strongly-built Guna takes up the challenge of doing the role due to his passion for the art. A decision that puts his life in turmoil inside out. He is deserted by his wife, teased for performing feminine roles, abused and declared a eunuch and gay by the society that fails to understand the creativity involved in the art form.
The film is a cinematic adaptation of the Marathi novel named Natarang by Dr. Anand Yadav.
Natarang was released in India on 1 January 2010. For the first time in Marathi film industry, premier for a film was held which was attended by many well known people in Marathi Cinema and also some of the actors from Hindi Film Industry.
