Bali

The ratings are seriously NOT aligned with the quality of this movie. The direction and the storyline was just bad. Swapnil Joshi has potential but again his acting was not too good as we would normally expect. The horror element in the movie was just missing, there were scenes which could be made scary if there was a dedicated editing team and sound design. There were several loopholes which were just not possible to ignore. Alas Marathi industry has again failed to deliver a good horror movie inspite of having so many good directors, writers, actors, vfx artist etc. Yes I expected too much..

Starring Swapnil Joshi and Pooja Sawant, Bali is about a widower Swapnil Joshi who takes his son to a hospital for detailed diagnosis after he collapses on the cricket field. Things turn spooky after his son claims to speak to a mysterious woman Elizabeth who stays in the abandoned wing of the hospital just opposite his room.

Movie has good production value & has geniune jump scare moments. Twist in the end is nice too. Worth a watch.

3 stars out of 5 🙂

Review By Kamal K

Bali begins on a pleasant note, offering us a glimpse into Shrikant and Mandar's relationship. The duo is content with their simplicity together. Everything quickly becomes grim, especially the hospital scenes. There are no jump scares, which is kind of a relief, but there aren't enough scary moments either. The team does its best to deliver on the promise of gripping film, but somewhere along the way, Bali gets predictable. The film shows signs of delivering on its promise when things at the hospital start looking fishy to Shrikant. But a rushed climax prevents that from happening.

The performances are sincere. It's good to see Swapnil Joshi transition from doting dad to concerned, and scared dad. Pooja Sawant performs sincerely and stands out in the climax.

Postive -

Story Gripping Performances

Negative -

Not Enough scary Moments Rushed Climax.

1. They could create a short film instead of 110 minutes movie.

2. Make-up artist was too bad, got a feeling that they used pitchku (tomato sauce) for blood scenes.

3. My non marathi Husband has better accent than the ghost.

4. Only one positive thing was I got inspired by Pooja Sawant and now I can perform operation on anyone after watching YouTube video. I don't even need a practice 😜.

Movie was predictable and 1 st half was very slow, nothing new in this movie , vishal furia's lapachapi much better than this movie , u can watch this movie with your family , overall 1 time watch movie👍
