Paresh Mokashi is a director with proven track record of absolute masterpiece filmography.

So when I got to know that Paresh Mokashi is making a movie based on his old play set in a village in kokan with world war 2 as backdrop and Prashant Damle as Hitler, I was excited.

But sadly, all the excitement couldn't make me enjoy the movie. Something felt off. Casting Damle as Hitler was a genius move. Mangle, Ingle were fabulous too. But the Mokashi touch was missing.

It didn't felt like adaptation of a play into movie, it felt like only as a play filmed for big screen. It never transformed to a movie. Some scenes were too long, as if we are actually watching a play and it will take time to change the sets so scene were purposely shot in long duration. Damle's role was very small too, almost felt like a cameo. Majority of humour also didn't land very well this time.

The cinematography and set felt very fresh. Costumes were good too. Still it felt like movie had lot to offer but didn't utilise its full potential.

I hope this was a side project for Paresh Mokashi while he is working on another masterpiece.

One of those to be watched for a cluster of short comedic performances by a well known set of actors. Do not try to apply logic or look for critical acting nuances. Enjoy the movie, laugh where possible and provide positive reinforcement to the marathi slapstick comedy genre.

Pacing of the movie is possibly its stongest aspect given there are quite a few interconnected threads.

Peppered amongst these are skit like small comedic performances that are funny, but may be not all are ROFL moments.

I applaud the director for the attempt and the actors have played along with full commitment. There will be better films - i for one am requesting a sequel - a sharper one with more wit!

God knows what the writer had taken before to write this plot. Itke changle actors were wasted on such stupid script..1st day theatre was half empty with no laughters or high points. Was a torture...Avoid at any cost.

I can understand fantasy movies..but really the plot was so poor, irrelevant and with no weight in it. Such poor slapstick comedy which failed to create humor and was irritating the audience.

I am shocked how did stars like Prashant Damle, Ingle, Vaibhav Mangle agree to do this movie. Literally 2 hours of my life wasted.

Never ever seen such a horrible comedy movie....... PLEASE AVOID.

Don't even consider watching this movie, even for free. I am still wondering why on earth did Damle, Ingle, Mangle agree to do this movie? This is the first movie in my 42 years of life when I slept in the theater.

The movie has no plot what so ever. The movie is based on an old Marathi play, but it fails to create any kind of connection to the current world.

There is no problem in anyone's performance. Everyone has done their part well except the story writer and the director.

The jokes, situations are so poorly written that even superstars like Prashant Damle, Vaibhav Mangle, Anand Ingle fail to lift the movie.

Being a Prashant Damle fan, with a heavy heart I am saying this: AVOID THIS MOVIE AT ALL COST.

I'll be honest with you guys. I always used to wonder why people often avoid watching marathi films, I used to feel sad from the bottom of my heart and always consider giving each one a watch. But some unfortunate people judge the whole category by watching one films. If this is that one film watched by them, surely no one would consider going for marathi movies anymore. Even after having a star cast, they sucessfully failed in making it a success. Won't blame anyone or won't hate anyone for it but after seeing superstars of the industry in the cast, people do expect a lot from the movie, LIKE A LOT. Don't worry guys- the movie , the storyline as well as the character play would try their best to not meet your expectations. Hurts to write such a review to marathi movie. My sincere apologies if anyone if they got offended or hurt by reading the review. I really didn't consider spreading hate but only spot facts. Not worth investing 3 hours.
