One of the most eye-catching movie i have ever seen. The concept was very clear and the script was well written. Execution by the director was to the point and of course most of the top rated actors of marathi industry made this movie more interesting by their superb Acting skills

Political dramas are a rare thing in Indian Cinemas.In recent times, except for Rajneeti i cannot think of any political drama that made viewers sit in there seats till the very end . Malayalam films produced great political thrillers way back in 1990s, unfortunately the ones which were made in the following decades were a clear rip off of the classic's made in 90s. Dhurala takes a dig at the dynastic politics showcasing each family member's ulterior motives. The extent to which how the family members try to bring down each other for their personal gain and their hunger for power was showcased effectively. The flow and direction of the film was crisp with the only flaw being its dramatic ending. All the cast members including its supporting cast was well written and etched with Prasad Oak standing tall among the cast as a scheming and cunning politician. Normally, i am not fond of Marathi movies as most of them, which i have seen, are exaggeration of Bollywood romcom's or Remake of South Indian films (like Classmate or Bus Stop). But such films will make my interest in Marathi films grow. Films like Dhurala, Masala, Court are the films which will make global audience take Marathi movies more seriously.

(For me Dhurala happens to be the first Marathi film that i have seen in the theater's of United Arab Emirates unfortunately i was the only viewer in the cinema to see a gem like this...)

Dhurala (Marathi film) review :

All izz not well in the Ubhe family!!

Their patriarch and village sarpach Nivritti Ubhe has just passed away and the big question is who will replace his position. Will it be Dada (Ankush Chaudhari), Nivritti's eldest son or his step mom Akka (Alka Kubal) who is a reluctant candidate egged on by the local MLA for his personal agenda. Then, there is also an ambitious sister in law Monica (Sonalee Kulkarni) who has politics on her mind!!

Director Sameer Vidwans' Dhurala is a well presented and cleverly packaged drama which exposes the political rot existing even at basic sarpanch level as well as greed and lust for power which can break the strongest of family bonds.

With a stellar cast comprising of half the Marathi industry, the performances from everyone is assuredly top class. Every character is finely developed and highly relatable. Writer Kshitij Patwardhan, take a bow!

Technically too, Dhurala is quite impressive and the crowd scenes during the election rallies are effectively handled. Thankfully, no item number pops up to slow down the narrative.

Though the ending may or may not satisfy all, Dhurala is one of the better political dramas coming from Marathi cinema. Not in league of Sinhasan (1979) or Vazir (1994), the film still deserves a theatrical visit. In one word, RECOMMENDED!!
