‘Hirkani‘ is Prasad Oak’s second film as a director after the critically acclaimed ‘Kachcha Limbu’. The film stars Sonalee Kulkarni in & as ‘Hirkani’. A small folk tale from the ‘Swarajya’ time is coming to life through this film. The film mainly centers around a mother and her fight against all odds to protect her child.

While the trailer does make us feel that there is enough authenticity in the world built in the film. But also it keeps a lot to be desired in terms of the ‘thrill’ that is expected from a story like this. More so it feels since the basic folk tale is pretty basic there will be things added to bulk up the runtime of the film.

Moreover the quality of VFX used in the film will also contribute in the overall impact of the film. However it seems the audiences feel truly connected with the film through the trailer as one can make that out from their positive reactions to the trailer. ‘Hirkani’ releases in theatres during Diwali on 24th of October!

While we have seen a couple of Marathi historical films in recent times. Most of these films cover major events in the history that take place in the span of a longer period. But with ‘Hirkani‘ actor turned director Prasad Oak has instead chosen a smaller forgotten folktale that is officially not even a chapter of history, but nevertheless has lived through word of mouth!

Starring Sonalee Kulkarni in the titular role ‘Hirkani’ this film promises to be a thrilling real-time tale of bravery! Many younger audiences of today’s generation aren’t really aware of this folktale and hence this film is important in a social way!

The teaser of the film doesn’t reveal much but gives us a glimpse of the tone of the film. The film will have a thriller, survival film tone for sure. More so we can expect the film to be technically perfect as it’s made by the director of the cult film ‘Kachcha Limbu’.
