Anuraag Marathi Movie Review:

Mrunmayee Deshpande is certainly one of the better actresses in the Marathi film industry. She first caught my attention with her performance in the film Mokla Shwaas. In the recent past, too, her acting has been impressive. She left a mark in Katyar Kaljat Ghusli and even managed to hold her own in front of a stalwart like Nana Patekar in Natsamrat. She is credited for the screenplay of the film Anuraag and has also presented the film apart from playing the crucial role of one of the protagonist. After shining out in comparatively smaller roles in the above mentioned films, this is a film she has all to herself. But, quite disappointingly, though she plays her part well, the role and the film in general doesn’t really give her the scope – not even as much as the comparatively smaller parts did in previous films – to showcase her skills.

Anuraag is about a trip a married couple – Rishabh and Souwmya – take to the scenic Leh-Ladakh with the hope of rekindling their fast dwindling relationship. Leh-Ladakh is where their bond had first been welded and they have come here with the wish that the abundant natural beauty and lovely memories of their past from this place would inspire some love in them. Rishabh (Mahesh Gohil) is a businessman who is married for 10 years with his secretary Souwmya (Mrunmayee Deshpande). A workaholic, Rishab finds it difficult to give priority to Souwmya and their relationship. After a few years into their marriage and a failed pregnancy, their bond begins to weaken.

Both, Mrunmayee Deshpande and Mahesh Gohil manage to be fairly convincing in their respective roles. For a change, the songs and the background score of a Marathi film sound fresh. Though the choice of shooting the film extensively in a difficult terrain like Leh-Ladakh deserves appreciation, unfortunately for the film, the screenplay and the staging of scenes in general negates whatever little freshness the competent camerawork brings. The pretty frames add up very little to the film. From the plot it is quite clear that there is hardly anything novel in the subject. It is your usual bedroom drama that has been done to death on the Marathi stage. Only, here it has been transported to the mountains of Leh-Ladakh. The same old dialogues; the same old acting; the same old emotions. The film cannot lay off the influence of theatre in its staging, especially in the scenes that happen in the hotel room. As a result, the proceedings become drab and the leisurely pace doesn’t help either.

Finally, not much room is left for the audience to fill in the blanks, as everything is spelt out; this further disengages us from the drama unfolding on the screen. Sample the scene at the beginning in the airport: Souwmya is shown dragging their luggage all alone as Rishabh, the workaholic that he is, gets so busy with a phone call that even her presence slips out of his mind. Now, the symbolic allusions of this finely constructed scene to their relationship are fairly obvious. But somehow the need to further underline it is found necessary by actually spelling out what it meant in a dialogue. Such handling dampens any kind of spark in the film at the beginning itself.

Overall:

The stunning locale of Leh-ladakh is not enough to alleviate the film from a clichéd screenplay and unimaginative direction.

The post Anuraag Movie Review: Stunning locale, but drab drama appeared first on MarathiStars.

Anuraag, a film directed by Ambarish Darak and starring Mrunmayee Deshpande- Dharmedra Gohel has released a song promo “Sosavena Kondamara”.

The soulful song has been composed by Sameer Mhatre.  The lyrics have been penned by Guru Thakur and aptly portray emotion of a woman imprisoned in the shackles of miserable marriage. The story of the film revolves around a couple who has lost love and romance from their marriage. The film has been shot entirely in the picturesque locations of Leh. The forlorn and lonely locations appropriately resonate with the mood of the song. Mrunmayee looks beautiful and the newcomer Dharmendra has very handsome looks.

Anurag is based in a couple’s journey in a relationship, their problems and solutions. The film has been written and directed by Dr. Ambrish Darak. Mrinmayee, leading lady of the film has co-produced this film. The film has been produced by RRP Corporation Limited and presented by Mrinmayee Deshpande creations.

The film releases on 11 March all over Maharashtra.

Anurag, a film based on an emotional journey of a couple will be releasing on 11 March all over Maharashtra. The film has only two characters which are played by Dharmendra Gohil and Mrinmayee Deshpande. Anurag has been shot entirely at the picturesque locations of Leh Ladakh at 18,500 feet above sea level. Shooting at such location was a challenge for the cast and crew of the film as the nature temds to be very unreliable at such heights. However, the crew managed to get desired shots despite of moody weather. Both actors have to struggle a lot to work on such atmosphere.
