suSHEELA - suJEET

Superb fun movie. Susheela aka sonali kukarni in a real funny role she has done complete justice similarly Swapnil Joshi is evergreen. Ending also is not typical and very nicely concluded. Must watch for everyone.

Great direction. Not a single dull moment. I think its made by a very young team. Funny situation will make you laugh some scenee will give you that gyan in one liners. Today seems bollwood is loosing ground to marathi cinema. Even non marathi crowd can watch since it has subtitles in english.

All in all a dhamaal movie to watch after stressful day

You will come out of the theater smiling.

The story is novel and has enough scope to make it entertaining. But the director has been partly successful in making it. With such good actors at your disposal, one could have made a wonderful film. But the initial part is unnecessarily farcical and the actors are compelled to overact. Later, as the film progresses, the actors have really shown their strenth in their serious acting. Especially, the performance of Sonali Kulkarni is commendable. Normally, drunk characters in most of the films overact. But she has acted so well that it looks real. Swapnil Joshi has also done his part well. The last item song attached to the film was unnessesary and looks like a different patch all together. Overall, the movie is a good timepass but not above par.

SuSheela SuJeet (2025) : Movie Review -

Marathi cinema doesn't venture into adult comedies often-or maybe I avoid them because they're usually made with abysmally low quality. The last one I remember watching was Shikari (2018), and if that wasn't traumatic enough, along comes SuSheela SuJeet. Those who've seen Shikari will instantly know what I mean.

SuSheela SuJeet could've been a decent 90-minute conversational thriller, but instead, it's reduced to a tacky sex comedy filled with objectification, obsessive dream sequences, abrupt cuts, and double-meaning dialogues. What we end up with is a colossal, over-the-top disaster. It turns vulgar for no reason, then suddenly flips into philosophical mode, and out of nowhere, you're hit with standard local-drama theatrics.

The story follows Susheela (Sonalee Kulkarni), a married woman trapped in a lifeless marriage, and Sujeet (Swapnil Joshi), a mechanical engineer. Sujeet visits her home to fix a shower but ends up getting locked in the room-along with Susheela. With no way out, they're stuck together. The twist? Susheela's possessive husband keeps having erotic dreams of her cheating with Sujit, who oddly resembles her ex-boyfriend. That's the bizarre icing on this already chaotic cake.

The film kicks off as a thriller but quickly veers into a sex comedy without any real justification. The premise of two people trapped together does offer potential for a situational thriller-something rare in the Marathi industry. However, that potential is squandered by crass humor, flat execution, and immature jokes disguised as adult comedy. All three fall miserably flat, making for an exasperatingly irritating film.

Swapnil Joshi's performance is perhaps the only redeeming factor, though one wonders why he agreed to be part of this mess. Sonalee Kulkarni, playing a non-stop chatterbox, comes off more like an erratic teenager than a mature woman with a wild past. Her performance is shockingly poor-possibly her worst in years. Prasad Oak as Nakate is another cringe-inducing presence, dishing out awkward expressions and unbearable dialogue. Sunil Tawde, despite his experience, can't salvage the script, and Renuka Daftardar plays the stereotypical overbearing mother you wish would vanish after a few scenes.

On the technical front, things are marginally better. The cinematography is passable, and the background score does its job. The music is forgettable, and the production design is bland at best. Prasad Oak once gave us the classic Kachcha Limbu-a hard-hitting gem that remains one of my favorite Marathi films of the decade. But where is that brilliance now? From Hirkani to Chandramukhi and now SuSheela SuJeet, what's happening to my once-favorite Prasad? Something has gone seriously wrong, and he needs to course-correct fast. I can't bear to see such a gifted director fade into mediocrity-and frankly, neither can the industry. SuSheela SuJeet is a catastrophe, and let's hope it's the last misstep in Prasad's otherwise promising career.

RATING - 3/10*

This movie is an absolute delight! The storytelling is engaging, the characters are well-developed, and the dialogue is crisp and witty. The music is catchy and perfectly complements the tone of the film.

The acting is superb, with standout performances from the lead cast. The direction is impressive, with a clear vision and attention to detail. The cinematography is stunning, capturing the beauty of Maharashtra in a way that's both authentic and visually appealing.

What truly sets this movie apart, however, is its heart. The film tackles complex themes like family, love, and social responsibility with sensitivity and nuance. The characters are relatable and flawed, making it easy to become invested in their journeys.

Overall, this movie is a must-watch for anyone looking for a fun, entertaining, and culturally rich cinematic experience. It's a testament to the power of Marathi cinema and a reminder that sometimes, the best stories are the ones closest to home. Don't miss it!
