Premachi Goshta

This is a Marathi romantic film starring Atul Kulkarni and Sagarika Ghatge.

The film has a simple story and sticks to its theme and title of showcasing a love story. Which is why it works: a simple and non-confusing message. The film is about how two married individuals end up in circumstances together and discover love for each other.

In a rich career with intense character roles, National Award winner Atul Kulkarni makes a welcome change to prove his versatility. He is a romantic hero here yes, but the role is still a bit intense. Yet to showcase chemistry is hard and he does it well.

The beautiful Sagarika, who first wowed Hindi audiences in Chak De India, is as charming here. In a different role, she gives and genuine performance. She's the standout in the film for being able to match up to Atul Kulkarni. It's sad to note that she's not been doing films in this decade.

The supporting star cast, screenplay, direction and editing are also quite good and keeps the film breezy for young audiences.

A story of a man who is getting divorce and a woman who failed to have a successful married life. Twice. The character of this woman is played by Sagarika Ghatge (Sonal).

Atul Kulkarni plays the character of Ram, a writer who is very emotional and is trying to save his married life and asking his wife a last chance. Later, this writer appoints Sonal as an assistant in his office. Then the journey begins.

Unlike other Satish Rajwade movies, the story of this movie has no twists and turns. We know what will be the end of the story but the unfolding of the story, superb acting by all and the dialogues make this movie is a soothing experience. The difference thing is Satish Rajwade himself acts in this movie as Swaraj. He played the character superbly(Afterall a Director!). He drives the movie.

Sagarika Ghatge is well known for her role in 'Chak De India'. But the problem is the kind of expressions, which a Marathi Movie needs, are not given by her. Marathi actors are stage actors and in this movie many times I saw Expressionless face of her. The other thing is the face of Atul Kulkarni is very innocent and the Sagarika looks like a model. Even in the movie poster you can compare it.

So, You will love this movie if you are an emotional person but will not rate it much higher if you love the typical Satish Rajwade movies like Mumbai-Pune-Mumbai, serials like Eka Lagnachi Dusari Gosht!

A man and a woman, both married and strangers, become chance acquaintances during their visits to the Marriage Counselor office. Later, the lady gets a job with him, and they become emotionally involved, while struggling with their own estranged marriages.

This is a simple story narrated with a unique backdrop of writing rehashed film stories, mostly for remakes of other movies. An original story sprouts in the mind of the protagonist and that helps to crystallize the growing emotions between him and the lady, who are now working together. Credit should be given to The Director, Satish Rajwade, who wrote the story and acted in the movie.

Atul Kulkarni, twice winner of National Film Awards, was a treat to watch (as Ram). His performance was quite nuanced and effective. The surprise was the 'Chak De India' actress, Sagarika Ghatge, who did quite well in a big role as Sonal. Her appearance was eye catching. She has a great screen presence and is naturally glamorous, more so as she has not been seen in many movies. Rohini Hattangadi (Ram's mother) adds weight to any movie she is a part of. Surekha Talvalkar (as Ragini) did not impress.

The episode where Sonal writes her first scene and is so excited that even though late, she wants Ram to hear it in person right then, seems stretched and superficial.

Three melodious songs croon in the later part of the movie and that adds weight to the emotional situations. It was a pleasant surprise to hear Kailash Kher singing in Marathi.

This movie can be given a miss unless you do not want to pass up on any Atul Kulkarni movie or miss a chance to see Sagarika Ghatge on her rare screen appearance.

Premachi Goshta is a 2013 Marathi romance film starring Atul Kulkarni and Sagarika Ghatge.

As soon as I read the plot of this film on wikipedia and the reference to A Midsummer Night's Deam, I knew I had to see it. And I'm happy to say that the film did not disappoint. The story is about Ram (Atul) and Sonal (Sagarika) who meet accidentally at the marriage counselor's office as they are both divorcing from their respective partners. They have a short discussion there about their viewpoints on marriage which are exactly the opposite. Ram believes that separation is not a solution to problems and that even if people separate, love will remain. Sonal believes that marriage is a terrible institution and should be avoided completely. Chance has them meet once more when Sonal goes to apply for a job and sees Ram having chai in front of that office. The rest of the story is about how these two slowly fall in love and struggle to understand their emotions and express them.

The most wonderful part about this film is that the characters are fantastic. Both characters were so well developed that it's as though the writer knew each and every thought and emotion occurring to them. The chemistry between Ram and Sonal, their discussions, their knowing glances are truly delightful to watch. There is also the fact that films and stories are like a character in the film. When Ram and Sonal are unable to understand their emotions, they do so through the stories they write and the characters in those stories are synonymous with them. The film is not really inspired from A Midsummer Night's Dream but the characters are writing a love story that is similar to Shakespeare's play and hence it's mentioned a few times.

Although the second half seemed to drag just a bit, I truly enjoyed this film. It's easy-going and the characters seem so familiar. The casting for this film is just perfect. Atul Kulkarni literally speaks with his eyes. He has this surprised and lovesick look sometimes that makes the quiet moments and glances in the film deep and emotional. You all know Sagarika right, the girl from Chak De India? The one that reminds us of Kareena Kapoor? She is just fantastic in this film. She performed very naturally and was very impressive.

I highly recommend this film for lovers of the romance genre. I really like the way compatibility and love was portrayed in this film. I also like that it's about separated/divorced people falling in love as most romance films don't take this as a topic. Do catch it when you have the chance.
