Story Outline :

Aniket is a successful executive in a big company. A project on which he has been working since long gets a go ahead. Not just that, he also gets promoted. Co-incidentally, he receives the news of his wife Mugdha’s (Mrinal Kulkarni) pregnancy too on the same day. But Aniket’s overjoyed mood suffers a jolt when he slowly realizes that Mugdha is getting to know a number of dark secrets related to his professional and personal life. Who is revealing those secrets to Mugdha? What will be its consequences?

Review :

Director Rajendra Talak’s A Rainy Day has a lot of things working for itself – an intriguing story, crafty narration, intense presentation, good performances and a friendly length of just 89 minutes. But in a suspense thriller, it is absolutely vital for the final twist to be convincing. Unfortunately, that doesn’t happen here else the film could have been so much more satisfying. Nevertheless, the aforementioned points make sure it is surely a one-time watch.

The opening credits of the film are smartly presented. Soon, you realize that was just the tip of the iceberg as a simple story is narrated in the most creative manner possible. For this a large part of the credit should be given to Sanjay Jadhav’s camerawork, which is simply outstanding. In fact, his work matches international level! Well-shot rain scenes almost throughout the film is also a sheer pleasure.

Oscar winning Resul Pookotty and Amrit Pritam Dutta too deserve equal praise for creating an intense feeling through their sound designing. Ashok Patki’s soulful compositions add to the effect.

Talking about the writing, the development of Mugdha getting to know Aniket’s secrets is brought and handled smartly, especially the manner in which flashback is used. Due to this, one is constantly glued to the proceedings. The pace does dip a bit in the second half though. But the biggest problem is the last five minutes. The all-important climax is incomplete and confusing as the biggest and the only mystery of the story isn’t solved. I didn’t feel like leaving the hall after the film was over, unable to believe that it was ended this way.

Subodh Bhave displays his acting prowess while playing a character with different shades with ease. Mrinal Kulkarni puts on a very convincing act of a disturbed woman. She deserves to be seen more. The film has some decent supporting acts from Neha Pendse and Ajinkya Deo and some good cameos by Manoj Joshi, Harsh Chhaya, Kiran Karmakar, Sulabha Arya, Sanjay Mone and few others.

Overall :

Despite a big issue, A Rainy Day is a thriller worth watching once. It needs some rapid word-of-mouth to make a mark at the box office.

Synopsis : It is said that behind every successful man there is a woman. In that case – what about a corrupt man? How far is a woman responsible in the greed of a man? Can a woman stop her husband from being corrupt?
A RAINY DAY is the story of a go-getter, an achiever. Aniket is an upwardly mobile man who wants to get rich quick. He would resort to any means in order to get what he wants – even bribe people, entice them with immoral ‘gifts;’ and if it comes to that- bump off people who get in his way!
Aniket’s wife Mugdha does not approve of his deeds. Aniket is aware of that. It is probably this disapproval which is gnawing at the back of his conscience which gives rise to this story. He has never confided in Mugdha about his deeds directly as he knows how she looks at such things and totally aware of her virtues in life.
When life seems to be going fine, suddenly one morning Aniket discovers that Mugdha has got wind of what he did in his childhood. Aniket wonders how she knows this, but brushes it off, thinking, “Maybe I told her myself some time.”
At this time Mugdha is pregnant and Aniket wonders if this condition has anything to do with her extra sensitivity.
Gradually this phenomenon starts repeating itself. Mugdha tells him each and everything in detail, what he did on various occasions. She seems to know the vivid details of all his deeds.
Media gets wind of her ‘extra-sensory’ powers and Aniket’s story gets splashed in the Press and across channels. Aniket is livid.
Aniket is intrigued at first, then irritated and angry and later terrified. As it happens quite often, he is on the way of becoming a neurotic wreck. Mugdha’s disapproval and anger towards this also goes on mounting and finally she decides to leave him.

Marathi film industry is now taking rapid strides in its attempt to step out of the shadows of its richer cousin, Bollywood. Even well-known Bollywood actors like Shreyas Talpade and Riteish Deshmukh are stepping up as producers which are only making things look up for Marathi cinema.

With the intention of matching the standards of international cinema, popular Marathi director Rajendra Talak has now roped in Academy Award winning sound director, Resul Pookutty for his venture titled A Rainy Day. Resul, who has for the first time shared his talent of sound designing with the Marathi film industry, said that the entire project was extremely challenging as the film has only sound and nothing else. “It was a delight to work on A Rainy Day. I had to devise multiple layers to create the sounds of rain as it is a constant factor in the film. This is my most challenging work till date.”

Speaking about his movie, director Rajendra Talak said: “This film is our small initiative to highlight the problem of corruption in the society and how it affects the families. Till date I’ve worked on several regional movies but now for the first time I’m working with such a great talent like Resul Pookutty and I am grateful to him. I’m really excited about this movie and with the support of such a great team, I am certain that this movie will touch many hearts”, said director Rajendra Talak.

A Rainy Day is the story of a go-getter and an achiever, Aniket (played by Subhod Bhave) who resorts to immoral and illegal ways to grow rich. The film revolves around corruption, Aniket’s wife’s extra-sensory powers, their shattering married life and Aniket’s never ending desires.
