Vaalvi

A must watch movie from the brilliant director Paresh Mokashi. The movie is as brilliant as his previous directions Elizabeth ekadashi and Harishchandrachi factory. It's a Marathi-language suspense thriller+comedy with a beyond imagination ending. Gr8 acting from Swapnil Joshi, Anita Date, Subodh Bhave and Shivani Surve with brilliant comedic timing. Connot fail to remember the funny role by Namrata Sambherao. The first half is just building the story and by the second half you would start to scratch your head thinking of the ending. A perfect name for the movie Vaalvi(termites). You should watch it in the theatres and appreciate the work of the writer, director, actors and everyone involved in making this a Fantastic film.

"The Marathi film industry has been producing some truly outstanding and meaningful cinema in recent years. The latest Marathi movie I saw was a powerful and thought-provoking film that delved deep into the complexities of human emotions and relationships. The performances by the lead actors were outstanding and the direction was top-notch. Overall, the movie was a great example of how regional cinema can be just as impactful and relevant as Bollywood or Hollywood productions. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a meaningful and engaging cinematic experience." Please go and watch this movie in theatres.

I've watched hundreds of Thrillers, handful number of Thrilcoms and I've always wished that such movies should be made in Marathi too. Thankfully my wish has come true and we have got a movie that shouldn't be missed. This is an original movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat and makes you laugh hard at the subtle dark comedy in it. Funny thing is you even wonder how can I be laughing at such situations but you can't help.

The length of Valvi is just 1 hour 46 minutes, with no songs, no futile romance and no nonsense. It's fast paced. The script is tight and engaging. The dialogues are witty and on point. Direction is smart. I am a big fan of Paresh Mokashi and I've loved his work since I watched his play 'Mukkampost Bombilwadi' which happens to be my most favourite. He has good experience with comedy but I was surprised to see his hand at Thrillers. I don't like to compare as such, but I can call him Marathi industry's Shriram Raghavan.

As far as acting is concerned I think all actors have done their job superbly. I'm not a big fan of Swwapnil Joshi, but I loved his acting in this movie. He should actually be utilised for such unconventional roles. Shivani Surve has done a great job too. So has Subodh and Anita Date.

Overall this is one Marathi movie that you should not miss. Especially the people who love Thrillers.

Won't say anything about the title of my review. One should watch the movie to get it.

One husband wants to kill his wife and makes it to be looked like a suicide. Will he be succeeded on his plan or not is the premises of Vaalvi. It's a Dark-Comedy Thriller, so there are many funny moments, also good thrill is there. Laugh out moments are there specially in the 2nd half.

The screenplay is perfect, I smiled, laughed and get shocked throughout the film. The ending is unexpected, loved it. Amazing Performances by all, loved Swapnil Joshi and Shivani Surve the most. I've heard that makers will do a sequel and I'll be waiting for that. Thriller lovers shouldn't miss this one. Recommended.

Film review: Vaalvi ( Marathi film now showing in theatres) #sanjuzzreviews #Vaalvi #subodhbhave #swapniljoshi #Thrillcom #murdermystery #suspensethriller Vaalvi is a dark comedy, a thrillcom as the makes have put it . Very rarely do we see such a movie being attempted by Marathi film makers and Director Paresh Mokashi deserves full credit for this brilliantly executed film.

Story- Aniket (Swapnil Joshi) & his wife Avni( Anita Date) decide to end their lives together. However there is more than what meets the eye, this is actually a well planned murder about to be executed by Aniket and his girlfriend Devika ( Shivani Surve) with Avni as the victim. Can't reveal anything more without giving away the suspense!!

What is Subodh Bhave's role in the film and how is the name Vaalvi ( Termites) apt for this film are the things to watch out for.

Superb screenplay with a gripping storyline that is full of twists and turns right from the word go, will keep you hooked till the very end.

Muted comedy dialogues are just brilliant and tend to make you laugh even in the tense situations that the characters are in !!

Swapnil Joshi, Subodh Bhave create magic on screen as they did in Fugay. The female leads too perform brilliantly.

In a nutshell, everything falls in place for this film. Highly recommended!! Watch it in theatres now or on OTT when it eventually streams. Don't miss !!

Going with 4/5 for this one .. Adios 🙂
