Pindadaan Marathi Movie Review:
When I had reviewed Prem Kahani a few months back, I was hoping there would not be any other film that would be as bad. In the back of my mind I had confidently even made its entry in the first number in a list of worst films, incase I had to make one at the end of the year.PremKahani had plunged to such depths of mediocrity that I felt that it would scarcely be likely that any film would even come close. Pindadaan almost proved me wrong.
Now, Ashutosh’s Mom wants him to do his grandmom’s after-death rituals or ‘pindadaan’ by going to India. Ashutosh, who is apparently born and brought up abroad, obviously hesitates. At this point the screenwriter must have come up with the problem of having a plausible reason to send Ashu and, as Ruhi is in love with him, her too, to India. So in a dazzling display of lazy screenwriting he comes up with the very convenient reason of sending them both to India to make a documentary on what else but ‘pindadaan’!
Another thing that gets on your nerves is the terrible attempt at speaking Marathi by the English actor. It feels as if the makers of the film here just wanted to play to the fascination we Indians have for the ‘white skin’.
What salvages this film somewhat from being as bad as PremKahani is that the actors in lead roles (ManvaNaik and SiddharthChandekar)try their best, though they can’t help much about the very shoddy screenplay and direction.
Overall:
Pindadaan makes you really wonder about the mechanisms of how the film the Marathi film industry works. It seems difficult to believe that this film with such a sloppy screenplay found a producer, actors and technicians to back it and a distributor who thought it might work with the Marathi public.
