]]>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 5th std with certain marks to be able to appear for SSC. As if 6th to 9th 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.
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.

]]>The post Police Line Review : Policemen deserve better appeared first on MarathiStars.
]]>The police are undoubtedly one of the most overworked public servants in the state. They do not have any fixed duty hours; they are underpaid; and the housing colonies in which they live are crumbling structures. Police Line (a term used for colonies that house police) directed by Raju Parsekar attempts throws some light on the issues faced by the constables of the police.
The screenplay here just peeks into the life of a number of character living in a housing colony of the police and tries to portray all their trials and tribulations. It lacks any sort of a plot. Though a lack of plot isn’t necessarily a recipe for disaster, but the characters here are poorly sketched and a little too many for our liking. Throughout the whole first half we are just introduced to these characters and almost nothing significant of any sort happens in the film. The first half is a serious test of our patience. The proceedings are so drab that I was finding difficult to not doze off. The treatment is very marathi tv like, full of melodrama and very poor acting.
There isn’t exactly a lead character here, but Bala played by Santosh Juvekar has been given the most screen time. He is the son of a retired police constable who is an upright gentleman, proud of the honesty with which he has performed his duty of a policeman. His married elder son, who has also joined the police, doesn’t believe in his father’s ideals and blames them for his family’s misery. Bala is a studious young man who plans to become a software engineer.
There are a number of other such families living in the same housing colony that the film sheds light on, but not even a single one of their stories holds our attention. The filmmaking is very outdated and bland. The setting is based in the 90s for the most part and it also feels that the film too was made in the 90s. There are numerous cringe-worthy scenes that had me squirming in my seat. Another aspect that works completely against the film is the preachy tone. Right from the voice over in the beginning the preaching begins and doesn’t end till the end credits stop rolling. Some characters just go on and on about the miseries of a police constable.
In a well-intentioned film like Police Line, I always make that extra effort to find something positive. But, unfortunately, apart from the noble intentions I couldn’t find anything even remotely worthy of any praise. The policemen, much like the policies of the government, have here been given a raw deal; they deserved hell of a lot better.
A well-intentioned film, but drab and preachy.
