Yaari Dosti Marathi Movie Review :

In 2012 came Sujay Dahake’s Shala, It initiated a wave in Marathi Cinema. That of teenage films in which either they were in love or on the verge of turning adults. We saw few decent films, some really good but mostly poor films. Poor at almost everything from scripting to executing though most of them had decent acting performances. Yaari Dosti is a blunder in that department as well. Most of the young cast seems to have the background of Inter Collegiate Theatre.

Inter College One Act Play competitions usually train many (almost all) of the future actors of our fraternity. These kids too must have gone through that process. However this transition needs vision & execution. Ravi Jadhav’s Balak Palak had the same cast that performed the one act play (on which the film was based) in such competitions.

Yaari Dosti is basically a rags to riches story of two kids who live in the slums of Mumbai. Their names are Gatar (Hansraj Jagtap) & Nala (Akash Naghmode). Somehow (let’s not get into that) they end up in a boarding school at Chiplun (Konkan). Nala & Gatar are interpretations of the great Munna Bhai in some way. There is nothing wrong with their characters though. It’s just that the kind of craftsmanship that is needed to utilize such highly common characters is missing completely from the screenplay. So Nala & Gatar befriend two geeks in the boarding school. Prasad (Aashish Gade) & Rahul (Sumit Bhokse) are probably the worst representations of studios kids in our country. Prasad’s love interest is the girl who comes second in the class, Rani (of course Prasad comes first). Rani played by Mitali Mayekar has hardly any screen time. But in those few scenes Mitali manages to disrupt the ongoing verge of terrible acting in the film.

There is a whole lot of stock characters played terribly again. The king of it is the principal of the boarding school who speaks in an annoying nasal tone. There is a stock sexy teacher who wears sensuous sarees. Then there is Arjun Sir (sports teacher) who wants to live his unfulfilled dream of becoming a cricketer through one of the protagonist.

At one point Yaari Dosti manages to make a point (though unintentionally) which a few years ago Mahesh Manjrekar tried to make (Shikshanachya Aaycha Gho) that school education is absolute garbage. Yes because both Nala & Gatar are required to pass their 5^th std with certain marks to be able to appear for SSC. As if 6^th to 9^th are completely irrelevant.

The cherry on top is the consistently irritating background score. The film feels to be never ending in the second half & makes you pray that the conflicts that are created in the film get resolved as quickly as possible. But the ultimate award of best (or maybe worst) performance among various departments in this film should go to the dialogue writer. They unintentionally crack you up & keep you awake throughout the film. The camera stays still at many instances & we feel we would have rather watched a video recording of any decent one act play. The film has some worst slow motion sequences too & even in simple shots the camera keeps falling (literally).

We can’t remember the title song except the fact that it was annoying & the one we remember is a Ganpati song with terrible choreography shown at the end of the film.

The makers of this film might be really bothered about life in the slums. They might be feeling this film propagates the message that we should always be considerate to them as they too can be equally talented & have the potential to make it big. Sadly all those noble intentions do not transcend on screen & we are treated by a mess that hardly tells anything or strikes any of our emotional chords.

Overall:

This festive season stay safe & stay home unless of course you are a part of this film’s team.

Yaari Dosti a film about friendship starring Akash Waghmode and Hansraj Jagtap is getting ready for the release. As the story focuses on the friendship of these two lead actors, the director wanted to get them friendly off-screen as well. Both actors belonged to different cities and were working together for the first time. Hence, the director locked them away in a room for 10 days as a part of their character workshop. Both guys were completely cut away from the outside world and they developed a keen sense of friendship among themselves.

This idea has become immensely successful for the team of the film, as the chemistry between Hansraj and Akash improved amazingly.

The film also stars Mitali Mayekar, Sandeep Gaikwad, Namrata Jadhav, Shreyas Raje, Nisha Parulekar, Ashok Pwade, Janardan Singh and Manish Shinde.

The film will be releasing on 16 September.

Well Done Bhalya Marathi Movie Review:

Cricket is a game that the British invented and the Indians mastered, they say. A hangover of the colonial British era, this sport isn’t merely a ‘sport’ in our country. Such is the passion with which it is followed that many people consider it to be their religion. Another countrywide passion of us Indians is cinema. We are a cricket and cinema crazy nation. However, a sports film about cricket is still a rarity. And a good sports film at that even more so. Lagaan and Iqbal are the two that immediately come to mind as successful cricket films. There have been a few other cricket films but none as good as the ones mentioned before. Well Done Bhalya joins the list of those ordinary cricket films who despite being about something the people of our country passionately love, ends up being rather drab and boring.

What you can’t fault the film is for having noble intentions. It takes up the issue of the tribals – the original inhabitants of our country who have been marginalized and exploited for centuries together. Bhalya (Solkar) son of Shukrya (Sanjay Narvekar) is just interested in the game of cricket while his father wants him to take an education help him escape the miseries of the tribal communities to which they belong. Now, every sports film has a conflict between the bully and the bullied. Shukra and Bhalya are quite obviously the bullied, while the local MLA and his son are bullies. The local MLA harbors a hatred for the tribals, for some reason, and his son is part is already part of the cricket. Bhalya plays the sport well, but there is the big issue of giving him training so that he can be a part of the local cricket team, much against the wishes of the Gajabhau, the local MLA.

Though the film has a decent enough plot, the screenplay meanders. The very basic for a sports film is to grip its viewers with the graph of the story. This doesn’t happen with the film. It all feels very bland and boring. The film suffers from lack of detailing and simplification.

In the acting department too, apart from Sanjay Narvekar, none of the actors make any mark. It also doesn’t help that apart from his role of Shukrya there is hardly any other character that is properly developed.

Overall:

A misfired attempt at making a cricket film. It is dull and boring, the worst for a sports film.
