Review: Dokyala Shot
Cast: Suvrat Joshi, Prajakta Mali, Ganesh Pandit, Omkar Govardhan, Rohit Haldikar & Sameer Choughule
Director: Shivkumar Parthasarathy

Viewpoint: ‘Dokyala Shot’ has a certain sense of novelty to it, because of it’s overall tone of comedy which mixes situational humor & slapstick humor together but the convenient turns it takes in the narrative are totally devoid of logic. Even if it’s intentional it keeps bothering us as more work on the script could have easily made the film lot more interesting.

What Works?

• The film’s lead cast is of four friends out of whom one (Suvrat Joshi) is suffering from retrograde amnesia (temporary memory loss). His friends played by Ganesh Pandit, Rohit Haldikar & Omkar Govardhan are somehow responsible for this condition and are now trying to make him alright. And all of this has happened just before two days of his wedding! The first half is full of sublime performances of all the four actors. The chemistry between them is instantly believable.
• The dialogue writing compliments the performances which makes many little moments (especially in the first half) uniquely hilarious.
• There’s one quality of a good situational comedy that the characters in the situation are actually very serious & the situation itself is a serious situation for them, but for the audiences those situations are presented such that they become funny. Here too this seriousness part is very effective. We understand that for the characters this isn’t all fun & games!
• There’s an undertone of a slight psychological suspense drama in the first half that is well included in the film through it’s treatment.

What Fails? 

• The second half is extremely overstretched & that too in situations that are lesser important in the narrative.
• There’s a certain style of repetitive humor in the film, which is fine, & it even works well a couple of times but the film keeps overdoing it. Then it becomes a drag & the title of the film becomes our condition!
• As said earlier the narrative is conveniently designed just to makes certain situations happen, it is totally devoid of logic. We do understand that for a comedy of this kind logic can’t be a criteria to judge but still there’s a limit to the liberty one can take in this department.
• This film is an official remake of a Tamil film, while we are not sure if the original film had something to say through the film, but here we surely saw a possibility. It definitely isn’t a rule that a film should have something to say but when the film falters as an ‘entertainer’ we do look for a message or a statement & especially when the film is said to be based on a real incident!

Final Verdict: ‘Dokyala Shot’ surely deserves one watch as this is a fresh kind of humor for the Marathi audiences. While this film isn’t totally a great film the debutante director of the film Shivkumar Parthasarathy has shown a glimpse of his talent, which makes us anticipate for the movies he might come up with in the future.

Rating: 2.5/5

Narayani Shastri who has made a comeback in Marathi films after 10 years was very impressed with the script and says, ” Upon hearing the script I immediately decided to do the film because only a Marathi film could do justice to a subject like this and especially for a female character to play a character of an eunuch is very challenging. I have worked hard on essaying this character and have put on 15 kgs to portray this character” .Director Vishal Gaikwad says that he was at a loss of words when he went to Narayani to narrate this character but luckily he says Narayani was quite taken up with this script of mine and she immediately said yes. Rajeshwari Sachdev and Manoj Joshi and Omkar Goverdhan, Vinay Apte, Vijay Patkar. Vivek Lagoo, Usha Naik and Jayraj Nayar also star in the film.. Debutants Sangeet and Siddharth Haldipurhave composed the music with lyrics by Guru Thakur and Prakalp Wani.This different love story releases on 15 May all over Maharashtra.
