Party Review (Marathi Movie):

The overall takeaway from Sachin Darekar directorial ‘Party’ is pleasant in a way that you feel after a long time Marathi cinema has somehow come closer to the aura of ‘Duniyadari’, though a heavily flawed film ‘Duniyadari’ had created an aura around it & a group of dedicated fans. ‘Party’ too has the potential to become a cult among young film audiences who have loved recent youth centric entertainers too.

But when looked from an analytical point of view, Party has quite a few major problems. The first & foremost is the conflict in the second half. Somehow it works as a personal tragedy of a character but it doesn’t serve the purpose of the larger point the film wanted to make. This association of a personal tragedy to the larger point of the film worked better in ‘Duniyadari’, here it is weaker. The humor in the first half is too forceful at times, unnecessarily using many stereotypical characters like a ‘bhabhi’ & a clown like local goon-politician. In fact, the whole deliberate effort by the film to become funny affects the film adversely. Had it not been bothered to make people laugh, it would have turned a better film.

Out of the ensemble cast, Suvrat Joshi is surprisingly both the strongest & the weakest suit of the film! The story has two timelines, the present & the flashback. Suvrat Joshi is the strongest in the flashback but appears just unsuitable in the ‘devdas-mode’ of the present. There’s an underlying character development that the film doesn’t justify (well it doesn’t need to as 18 years have passed by in the lives of those characters). But the idea of an unserious guy turning responsible & the smarter guy losing everything has an inherent power in it. The film could have explored it better, but it stays faintly in the background.

One of the friends, played by debutant Stavan Shinde is shown as a Cricketer who plays for India (in the present), but not even once do we see any crowd wanting a selfie or an autograph from him! Secondly, the film keeps stressing that friends need to look after each other even when one of our friends is drowning himself wasting his life. The other friends seem to regret that didn’t look after him, but at the same time in a major montage sequence, we can clearly notice that those friends have looked after him many a time in different scenarios! By the end ‘Party’ wishes to become a thought-provoking tragedy, but it hardly scratches the surface.

The actors have done their parts well, but most of them are few notes loud especially in supposedly humorous scenes. For example when Chakrya (Akshay Tanksale) & Manya’s (Rohit Haldikar) father & mother (respectively) hit them a couple of times. The backdrop of a chawl seems realistic but the enactment of many such moments is loud & plastic. None of the performances really make a long-lasting impact on us. The music is good though, but again not quite that great as say ‘Duniyadari’.

Had ‘Party’ been written & executed to express than to forcefully impress, it had the potential to become a better film. A film that could deal with the growing away of friends in a more specific way & how time changes people.

Overall:

Having said all that, ‘Party’ is a film that can still entertain most of the audiences who don’t mind a certain tone-deaf humor & the whole idea of friends being there for each other. And it does succeed in creating that bond among the characters.

The post Party Review: An Effective Entertainer for the Youth appeared first on MarathiStars.

After being a successful writer in Marathi films & television, Sachin Darekar has made his directing debut with the upcoming youth-centric entertainer ‘Party’. Party is all set to hit the theatres on 7^th September & we had the team of the film that includes stars like Suvrat Joshi, Prajakta Mali & Akshay Tanksale open up about the film & on their experience doing this film.

Tell us about your experience of being a part of this ‘Party’!

Suvrat Joshi: I think our whole life is a ‘Party’! There’s a dialogue in the film that life is a ‘Party’ given by the almighty! And we were enjoying every moment of this party while shooting ‘Party’! This film will remind you of those golden memories of your childhood days when we collected one rupee each & enjoyed the party with our friends! It will remind you of those old days of the 1990s when things were simpler. Our favourite heroes & heroines of Hindi films used to walk in slow motion & all. This film is definitely about friendship but it’s also about those times that will make us all nostalgic!

Prajakta Mali: My experience too was really fun. The moment I knew that this film is directed by (Sachin Darekar) the writer of ‘Zenda’ film, I definitely wanted to be a part of this ‘Party’. I am very glad to say if there is any phase in my life that I have enjoyed the most it would be the 10-15 days of the workshop for ‘Party’ with the entire team! We had loads of fun during that time & during the shoot. While I have never had so many friends in real life, but this film made me wish that I had such a gang of friends.

Rohit Haldikar: When Sachin Sir (Director) called me for the first time & asked me to meet him, I was at the Borivali National Park. Sachin Sir told me to meet him right now! And coincidently he lived right next to the National Park! Then he narrated the story & told me about my character. I instantly connected with the character, as we all know there’s always this one guy in the group who is always going through a ‘Kadki’. Well, I play that guy! This guy though is scolded by his friends for this habit but he is also treated with equal love like other friends in the group. Like Prajakta said, the workshops were very fun & useful for me to get my character right.

Akshay Tanksale tell us about your ‘relation based’ image made through your songs! First ‘Kaka’ & now ‘Bhavdya’!

Akshay Tanksale: Haha. I guess after Kaka & Bhavdya the next song would be on my sister! In my real life ‘Party’ happens every other day in my life because I have a huge group of friends & many groups too. Yet I feel the party I had while doing this film is something else! I don’t think a party of this kind would ever come back in my life! I remember when I first met Sachin Sir, when I heard his voice on the phone I felt this guy is very strict! In person though that wasn’t the case! We connected instantly. When I got out of his house, there I met Amitraj Sir (Music director) & I thought this is something fun & I have to surely do this film!

Being a newcomer in this team tell us about your journey Stavan Shinde.

Stavan Shinde: When I was selected for this role I didn’t even need a script! I had trust on Sachin Sir as I have loved his previous works. So I am very thankful to him for selecting me. Later when I read the script I loved it & related with it. But I was worried if my parents would connect with it, so I narrated the script to my father. And I am telling you honestly that day me & my father for the first time we had drinks together like friends! That was the magic of ‘Party’ which I think the audience would relate too as well, both young audiences & family audiences.

This is your first film too Manjiri Pupala!

Manjiri Pupala: Everyone has a heard this fairy tale somewhere, that I simple girl was doing her usual work & a director notices her out of nowhere & offers her a role in his film! Even I had heard a story of this kind, but I never believed in it much. So I was about to start my work for a TV show, & Sachin Darekar sir was connected with it. It was the first day of the workshop for that show. The workshop ended & I came down, I was standing on the footpath & I was looking for an Auto. Suddenly Sachin sir came there saying he wants to talk to me. He told me he is righting something of this sort & would want me to work in it. And I said why not, surely. He told me that he will contact me later. Many days passed by I forgot about it, & suddenly after around 6 months, I got a call from him saying I am really doing this project! I am very thankful to Sachin Sir, this is my first film & that too on such a big scale & with such fantastic team!

(To the Director) What do you think would the audiences take back with them after watching ‘Party’?

I think they will surely be entertained by the film. But I feel more importantly they would be reminded of their friends & their friends circle. I think beyond the box office success & all If my film would manage to make even a small section of the audiences to make a phone call to their forgotten friends asking them about their whereabouts & how they are, I think all our efforts to make this film will be rewarded!

‘Party‘ releasing on 7th of September is a film about friendship! Set in the less complicated world of 1990s, the new song from the film ‘Kaljat Ghanti Vajte’ explores the feeling of first love & lust at the same time. Many a times we have seen ‘lust’ showcased in films in a very typical sleazy way.

Here the character of Rohit Haldikar who is attracted to an older married woman is not showcased in that age old way. In a way this song celebrates both feelings of love and lust. Lyrics penned by Guru Thakur are very catchy & surely today’s youth will keep singing this lines all the time. Composed by Amitraj & sung by Nihira Joshi & Amitraj himself this song has a very distinct flavor to it.

The film stars Suvrat Joshi, Akshay Tanksale, Prajakta Mali, Stavan Shinde, Rohit Haldikar & Manjiri Pupala in the lead and it captures the love & drama between friends. It also tells the story of friendship in more depth as it also focuses on what happens to friends over a period of time & how their priorities change once they get a job, get married, & have kids.

We have heard many stories about pranks being played on a movie set. These pranks sometimes are subject to what we call ‘filmy gossip’. However the actors or artists involved in such pranks don’t really get the hint when it’s undergoing & hence they fall for it!

One such incident happened on the sets of upcoming Marathi film ‘Party’. A song from the film was being shot. The film stars Suvrat Joshi, Akshay Tanksale, Prajakta Mali, Rohit Haldikar, Sthavan Shinde & Manjiri Pupala. Manjiri Pupala was all of a sudden told on the set that she has to do a kissing scene in the shooting of the song.

Everyone from the cast started telling her to not be afraid & all. Manjiri was shell shocked! As nothing on these lines was told to her before & now suddenly she was supposed to do a kissing scene.

Manjiri panicked & started crying & even called her family & told them about it. Director Sachin Darekar even showed her the film contract she had signed where it was clearly mentioned that there could be changes made to the script at the last moment & the actor has to be adapt to that! But soon it was revealed to Manjiri that all this was a prank!

After that Manjiri felt relived & the shooting of the song commenced! This ‘Party’ begins in theatres from 7^th of September & it can be enjoyed with our friends & family!
