Marvel has ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’, Bollywood has Rohit Shetty’s ‘Super Cop Cinematic Universe’ but now Marathi cinema too has it’s own cinematic universe which is even more special as unlike these other universe our Marathi universe isn’t all imaginary and fantasized! Our heroes lived in the real world & did many many brave deeds in the real world!

‘Swarajya Cinematic Universe’ as we are calling it is writer director Digpal Lanjekar’s take on the Maratha history! After the success of ‘Farzand‘ he is back with ‘Fatteshikast‘ where many familiar faces are being seen, some reprising their same characters and some playing new characters! The trailer of ‘Fatteshikast’ is truly goosebumps inducing for all of us!

The starcast of Chinmay Mandlekar, Mrinal Kulkarni, Annup Sonii, Ankit Mohan, Ajay Purkar, Mrunmayee Deshpande, Nikhil Raut, Sameer Dharmadhikari & others seem perfectly casted in their parts. The film hits theatres on 15th of November and promises to be a huge blockbuster that will also entertain the non-Marathi audiences along with the Marathi audiences!

Hemant Dhome directorial ‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa 2‘ stars a brigade of talented actors like Sanjay Narvekar, Aniket Vishwasrao, Mrinmayee Godbole, Prasad Oak, Mrinal Kulkarni, Priyadarshan Jadhav, Pushkar Shrotri, Smita Gondkar & Anand Ingle! The trailer of the film makes us feel that it is going twice as more chaotic and twice as more mindlessly funny then the prequel of the series!

The film inspires from real life in a way when we see a millionaire running away from India after doing a huge scam! In a way the film captures the angst of the common man against the system that allows such sophisticated thiefs to get away! The film also gives us vibes of the cult mindless comedy ‘Happy New Year’! While many critics pan such films the audiences love them and over the years a cult following is developed for such films!

Marathi cinema’s love affair with London and England continues with this film. A few recent Marathi films have been shot there and these are definitely good signs for Marathi cinema & one can say that our canvas is getting bigger and wider!

Home Sweet Home Review (Marathi Movie):

Home Sweet Home’s trailer is slightly misguiding in a way that it makes us feel that the star cast of the film that includes actors like Prasad Oak, Sumeet Raghvan & Mrunal Kulkarni have bigger & more important roles in the film & in the narrative. But that isn’t the case. They are merely cameos (Prasad Oak’s is an extended one though). The problem is that, it means the film is based on a single narrative & with a single conflict. And both the narrative & the conflict have major loopholes & repetition.

So the film involves four principal characters & a few lesser important characters. Mohan Joshi & Late Reema play a couple (Mr & Mrs. Mahajan) in their 60s who don’t have any children. Spruha Joshi (Devika) lives in their house almost like a paying guest. Mr. Mahajan is her ‘Mama’. But her ‘Mami’ never really has any warmth for her, (if she had any warmth for her, the whole point of her character’s existence in the narrative would have been pointless). Spruha’s character definitely has enough screen time, yet it never feels like an essential character. It is never directly connected to the narrative. And even her own track isn’t really established.

Hrishikesh Joshi plays a real estate agent & for no particular reason he is close to the Mahajan family. Closer to their residence there’s an Irani hotel where he sets up his office every day. One day all of a sudden his customers visit the Mahajan home (as they think the property that their agent is selling them is this). Mrs. Mahajan for no particular reason readily lets them see their home. By the time the whole confusion is cleared Mrs. Mahajan knows the price of her house! As they live in prime place like Dadar, Mumbai the number is big! This leads to the start of the narrative with the conflict to whether sell their house & shift to a cheaper but more modern & spacious flat somewhere else far from the main city.

The problem is that the above scene is an important plot point that kick starts the narrative, but it feels so artificially created. After that the film has different ways of going round & round the same conflict. By the middle of the second half the narrative starts feeling tedius. The resolution of this conflict never really resolves the conflict. It just takes everything to the starting point. The problem isn’t that, the problem is the audiences can’t make out what exactly does the film wants to say? Yet the last 15-20 minutes work on a different level of giving some kind of emotional impact. The emotion is obviously connected to the idea of home, the whole nostalgia that surrounds a house where a family has lived a major portion of their lives!

Mohan Joshi & Reema’s performances are another huge positive of the film. Reema’s voice in the film is dubbed by Nirmiti Sawant. And her voice acting matches Reema perfectly. Hrishikesh Joshi has a very weak characterization for himself, his personal track was there to show the societal difference between his & the Mahajan family & also to infuse some humour, but none of that works well. Sumeet Raghvan & Mrunal Kulkarni’s cameo is a part of the climax that as said earlier works well on emotional grounds, & so does their performances.

Overall:

Hrishikesh Joshi’s debut as a director is nowhere near his reputation yet he manages to make a decent family friendly film, that even with it’s flaws is worthy of at least one watch on the big screen!

Actor Sumeet Raghavan & actress Mrunal Kulkarni have won audience’s hearts through their performances over the years in different mediums from T.V to films & theatre. But these two actors have never worked together. This rare feat is achieved by upcoming Marathi film ‘Home Sweet Home’ presented by ‘Proactive’ & produced by ‘Frames Productions Pvt. Ltd.’.

Mrinal Kulkarni has been a part of the evolution of the entertainment mediums in both Hindi & Marathi that includes both films & T.V. While Sumeet Raghavan begin his journey from theatre & has come a long way since then. His performances in Hindi serials have become a part of our pop culture history! It would be a treat for the audiences to watch the chemistry getting unfolded between these two seasoned actors.

‘Home Sweet Home’ is a unique subtle family drama directed by actor turned director Hrishikesh Joshi & it also stars Late Reema, Mohan Joshi, Spruha Joshi, Vibhawri Deshpande, Kshiti Jog, Prasad Oak, & Hrishikesh Joshi in important roles. ‘Home Sweet Home’ releases in theatres from 28th Spetember!

The post Home Sweet Home (2018) – Marathi Movie appeared first on MarathiStars.

The much-awaited trailer of the multi-starrer film, ‘Home Sweet Home’ directed by actor turned director Hrishikesh Joshi is finally out! The film stars Mohan Joshi, Spruha Joshi, Prasad Oak, Vibhavari Deshpande, Mrinal Kulkarni, Sumeet Raghavan & the late senior actress Reema. This film is also special because it will be the last film of the legendary actress, even after her death she is all set to entertain us through her work!

One important aspect one can observe from this trailer is that the film is very subtle in dealing with the ‘drama’ part of the ‘family drama’. Avoiding the loud presentation makes this film standout straight from its trailer itself. Senior actor Mohan Joshi always had a great chemistry with Reema in many of their works together, their chemistry can be experienced for the one last time that too in theatres.

‘Home Sweet Home’ also deals with the dilemma of whether a family is connected to their home! Will selling the house to change anything in the family? These questions are asked in a very subtle way, & the audiences will surely get their answers when the watch the film in theatres. ‘Home Sweet Home’ releases in theatres from 28th September!
