• Review: Triple Seat
• Director : Sanket Pavse
• Star Cast: Ankush Chaudhari, Shivani Surve, Pallavi Patil & Vidyadhar Joshi
• Screenplay: Adv. Abhijit Dalvi
• Producer: Narendra Firodiya

Quick Viewpoint: Triple Seat succeeds on a fundamental criteria in small parts through the film. The criteria being the execution of a ‘scene’. There’s some kind of emotional relativity in quite a few emotional scenes of the film, even when the dialogues sound like random whatsapp statuses!

What Works?

• The above mentioned emotional relativity can be traced back to two things. One is the precise use of background music that is not loud but is emotionally complementing to the scenes and the other being Ankush Chaudhari’s performance and a bit of Shivani Surve’s performance too.
• Along with the background score the overall musical score of the film is pretty decent. Especially when good music is becoming more and more rare in Marathi cinema today. All the songs highlight the feeling of romance, sometimes pleasant and sometimes dramatic!
• The first half of the film works really well whenever it takes itself seriously. But a major turning point in the plot takes the impact of it away from us.
• Even with many logical plotholes, inconsistent screenplay of the film by the end we are bothered about the characters in the film and in a romantic drama that is a positive!

What Fails? 

• The poor dialogue writing harms the film in multiple ways. Especially when they try to be general about life and love, they sound like cardboard cut outs from a random social media viral message!
• The film fails as a family drama, which it attempted in the second half. The family in the picture never feels like an actual family.
• There’s a major plot point where the film randomly turns into a comedy of errors without inflicting any humor whatsoever. The bigger problem is that throughout the second half it has to forcefully back the plot twist and go accordingly in the illogical direction. We wonder if the twist hadn’t come, the film might have well gone on to a different path of becoming a lighter romantic film.
• There’s an objective narrator-like character of an advocate (played by a popular Hindi character actor Rakesh Bedi) in the film. It’s a trait that is used to make things appear more important than how much important they actually feel to you! It’s completely unessential to the film and again avoiding that could have made the film much simpler and easier to like!

Final Verdict: ‘Triple Seat’ is few inches away from being called a harmless one time watch for romantic movie fans, but those inches could be covered up if you are a dedicated Ankush Chaudhari fan and/or an admirer of Shivani Surve!

Ankush Chaudhari’s highly awaited masala entertainer ‘Triple Seat‘ is all set to hit theatres this Friday and is the big Diwali release for Marathi cinema lovers. We are listing 5 top reasons to not miss this film in theatres even when you have to travel ‘Triple Seat’ to the theatres!

1. Ankush Chaudhari’ Choosy Nature

We are all aware that certain artists like say Aamir Khan or Irrfan Khan are known for being very choosy about their films. In his own way Ankush Chaudhari is no different than these gentlemen! He maintains his exclusiveness towards the cinema medium and chooses very few films but those films thoroughly entertain the audiences.

2. The Fresh Love Triangle

Along with Ankush the film stars two young and talented actresses who haven’t been paired opposite Ankush before. Shivani Surve and Pallavi Patil both seem to have a great chemistry with Ankush and the audiences would be treated with a refreshing new love triangle between these three actors.

3. The Blend of Many Genres Together

The trailer of ‘Triple Seat’ showcases so much diversity and variety in content that is very rare to see all these things in one film. There is romance, there is a comedy of errors and confusions, there is a thriller and there is good old dramatic quality to the film. It’s like the audiences will be treated with 3-4 different films at the cost of one film! What is more ‘Paisa Vasool’ than that?

4. A Clean Family Entertainer

Many recent Marathi hit films have had some under the belt and bold humour and stories. While there is nothing wrong with it and there’s a group of audiences who watch such films. But the Marathi family audience are truly missing a good clean family entertainer that can bring the whole family together! And ‘Triple Seat’ promises to be just that!

5. Must Watch for Shivani Surve Fans

Shivani Surve has been a tv star for long but it was the recent reality show ‘Bigg Boss’ that made her an audience favorite. People have simply adored her straightforward and ‘bindass’ attitude and they are surely excited to watch her on the big screen. Interestingly jer character in ‘Triple Seat’ seems very opposite of her image among the fans and hence it will be even be enjoyable for the audiences.

‘Ek Missed Call Ani Yevdha Sagla Hou Shakta.” This is the tagline of the upcoming Marathi romantic entertainer ‘Triple Seat‘ starring Ankush Chaudhari, Shivani Surve & Pallavi Patil in a unique love triangle! Very few times we see the unique idea of a film being used smartly in the promotion of the film.

Directed by Sanket Pavse & produced by Narendra Firodiya ‘Triple Seat’ has used the unique ‘missed call’ premise of the film to their advantage in the promotions of the film. They have invited the audience to give a missed call on the number 70 30 700 700 and then lucky winners will get a chance to watch the premiere of ‘Triple Seat’ alongside the cast and crew of the film!

Just like a missed call changes the lives of the characters in the film’s story a missed call can also change the life of many lucky winners from the audiences! So try your luck and get a life changing opportunity to meet stars like Ankush Chaudhari & Shivani Surve and watch their film with them! ‘Triple Seat’ releases in theatres on 25th of October!

The post Ankush Chaudhari Starrer Triple Seat’s Unique ‘Missed Call’ Promotional Strategy! appeared first on MarathiStars.

Ankush Chaudhari is well known to be very selective in his film choices. He has many a times also said that he wishes to maintain his exclusiveness of being a film actor and hence avoids working in any other medium. What it implies is that every time his new film is coming up we expect it to be something special. But that doesn’t seem to be the case with ‘Triple Seat‘.

In ‘Triple Seat’ Ankush is paired alongside two actress; Shivani Surve & Pallavi Patil! This casting surely feels unexpected and risky but only time will if the audience accept them! The trailer of the film can been bifurcated intro three parts. One which is of a light hearted romance, the other is of comedy of errors and the third is a dramatic end to the romance and the love triangle!

It’s a an ambitious move by the filmmaker to have these contrasting film genres together in one film. They need to blend in together really well only then will the audience relate with the film or else it can be a put off for many audiences who find it difficult to adjust with the changing tones of the film. The film releases in theatres this Diwali on 25th of October!

Following the success of the prequel ‘Boyz 2‘ has garnered equal amount of love from the audiences. In the first weekend of it’s releases it has already earned 5.11 Crore Rupees!

It means the collections are only increasing day by day! The ‘Boyz 2’ team is ecstatic & will be celebrating their success.

Starring the young trio of Parth Bhalerao, Sumant Shinde & Prateek Lad the ‘Boyz’ franchise seems to have connected really well with the audiences & especially the youth audiences! Though the film was certified ‘A’ by the censor boards, the audiences have responded in great numbers.

The film tells the story of three boys who are juniors in the college & who keep challenging their seniors. The audiences have seemed to enjoy the humour & the action of the film. The music of the film too seems to be a hit among the audiences as many incidents have been reported where the audiences have danced in the theatre to it’s song!

The ‘Boyz’ have returned with ‘Boyz 2’ with a fresh new story! Last time these ‘Boyz’ ruled over the box office & defeated other films but now someone from the film itself is set to rule over the boyz, the bold, hot & beautiful actress Shubhangi Tambale!

Shubhangi was seen in a serial called ‘Balpan Dega Deva’ which also featured senior actor Vikram Gokhale. She is making her film debut with ‘Boyz 2’! About her character she says, ‘In the world of college in the story, a girl enters that makes the whole college crazy about her. Her name is Swati Shinde. Swati because of her beauty & hotness makes every boy in the college follow her everywhere. She is the heartbeat of the college & the audiences will get to see what happens when she enters the world of ‘Boyz’!

Shubhangi further adds, “Boyz was already a craze among Maharashtra’s youth. To make one’s debut with this franchise is a very happy moment for any artist! ‘Boldness’ is a characteristic of my role & I have tried my best to portray the part convincingly!”

Just like the franchise we are sure the audiences will shower the same amount of love towards debutant Shubhangi Tambale!

As the release of the much awaited sequel of Boyz is near we had a chat with the ‘Boyz 2’ team which includes the director of the film Vishal Devrukhkar & the three young Marathi Stars; Sumant Shinde, Pratik Lad & Parth Bhalerao!

The Dialogues of ‘Boyz’ 1 became hugely popular among the audiences. They became a part of their language. What about the dialogues of ‘Boyz 2’? Do you think they too would become iconic?

Vishal Devrukhkar (Director): Yes it’s true. The audiences loved the dialogues! And as the trailer of ‘Boyz 2’ suggests this time too, the dialogues are equally funny! Whatever you’ve seen in the trailer, the film has plenty of that stuff!

Parth (Bhalerao) tell us your favourite dialogue from ‘Boyz 2’!

Parth Bhalerao: To say the truth I liked the whole script! I can’t reveal much before the release, but one of my favourite dialogues that is also featured in the trailer is ‘Height Choti Ahe Pan Fight Mothi Ahe’!

How did you decide the backdrop of College/Hostel for ‘Boyz 2’?

Vishal Devrukhkar (Director): At first we didn’t have the sequel in mind. But that suddenly the sequel was announced. The first thought that came to our mind was to set the story in college. But at same time we were against that thought as there are so many films set in college. After thinking more about it, we came up with the narrative, where socially maniac Boyz are standing against a rich kid with loads of attitude! Then the story revolved around this orbit.

Has anyone of you lived in a hostel? Tell us about your memories!

Sumant Shinde: Yes I have lived in a hostel! But for very less time! I was sent to hostel when I was in 2^nd Standard! My sister was in 5^th & I felt it’s unfair to a kid of my age to live in hostel. I used to cry everyday & all my hostel mates were elder than me. Then in Diwali vacations I saw a film with family which was ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’. And after watching that film I said the same to my parents that Mummy Papa ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’. Then the very next day I was home & my hostel life ended very quickly!

What exactly is the meaning of ‘Goti Soda Batli Foda’?

Vishal Devrukhkar (Director): Here the ‘Goti’ stands for ‘Tension’! So the real meaning of this dialogue is to leave tension & move on! Today’s youth are always in some kind of stress, they need to move on & enjoy a bit!

We all are watching Parth from years! Tell us about the other two ‘Boyz’ & how you found them!

Vishal Devrukhkar (Director): Sumant though is our producer’s son he was initially rejected. We had casted another boy in his role. But in the last moment that other boy backed out from the film. Then we decided to give Sumant a chance. We postponed the shoot & Sumant went through a rigorous training for over 6 months! Since he was from convent he had to work on his Marathi grammar & everything. His sister Kashmera helped him a lot in the process!

And about Prateek (Pratik Lad), I saw him in a short film titled ‘Dhanya’. In the very first shot of the film I saw his eyes & found my character in him! Then when he came to Mumbai for auditions I was confident by just looking at him! Though his audition too was very good!

What is the secret of Parth’s evergreen looks! He’s been playing roles of children from years & still he fits every part!

Vishal Devrukhkar (Director): It’s true we all wonder about it! But on a serious note he is a very dedicated actor! Though he was a senior to Prateek & Sumant, he didn’t have any attitude against them. He started from scratch for this character alongside his co-actors! He also did the workshop with both of them & did everything that they did! We do give him respect for his body of work, but he himself never behaves rudely even when he has worked Amitabh Bachchan!

And about his looks I think it’s a god given gift that he can look young for a long time! And he has used it to his benefit!

Along with the humour the audiences also loved the emotional Mother-Son track of ‘Boyz’. The trailer of ‘Boyz 2’ doesn’t hint about any emotional track but is there any surprise?

Vishal Devrukhkar (Director): The reason the emotional track isn’t featured in the trailer is because people would think this is a emotional film. But yes my films will always have an emotional angle, but all of that is presented along with humour as a comedy film! So yes in ‘Boyz 2’ too there is drama!

Girish Kulkarni is a part of this film! Tell us about his association with the film!

Vishal Devrukhkar (Director): He plays the character of a newly rich politician who is the trustee of the college & also the father of the main villain of the film! He has an attitude of spoiling his kid & he lets him do whatever he wants! While writing this character itself I thought someone big has to play this part! So then I decided to approach Girish Kulkarni. We met & we talked for hours, he heard the script & he also heard my story, my life’s story! Then he decided to play this cameo more because of my life’s story than the film’s story!

Finally tell us do you think ‘Boyz 2’ can be seen by the entire family together?

Vishal Devrukhkar (Director): Yes they should watch it together. Because somewhere the film captures the problems of teenage kids! The kids who are transforming from mid teenagers to late teenagers! We think if parents watch this film with their teenage kids, they might understand the problems of their kids better & might work together with their kids to find solution to these problems. And I don’t feel my film is obscene. There are two meanings to everything & it’s up to the viewpoint of the audiences!

In the first ‘Boyz’ film we saw the glamour queen Sunny Leone dancing on the hit number ‘Kutha Kutha Jayacha Honeymoon La’! The item song was a huge hit & promoted the film in a bigger way. And hence it isn’t a surprise that ‘Boyz 2’ which is set to release on 5^th of October also has an item song! Composed by Avadhoot Gupte ‘Todfod’ is a hatke new item song from ‘Boyz 2’ that has already become viral on the social media.

The lyrics of this song are penned by the dialogue writer of the film, Hrishikesh Koli, whereas the song is sung by Ganesh Chandanshive, Mugdha Karhade & Prasanjit Kosambi. The major attraction of this song more than the item girl is the versatile actor Girish Kulkarni! He seems to be in an altogether different mood in this song!

‘Boyz 2’ tells the story of our boys who are now in college & the film is directed by the same director who made the first part Vishal Devrukhkar. The lead stars Sumant Shinde, Parth Bhalerao & Prateek Lad are reprising their roles from the first part & this time they look in top form! Presented by Eros International, Everest Entertainment, Avadhoot Gupte, a ‘Supreme Motion Pictures’ release, ‘Boyz 2’ is produced by Lalsaheb Shinde, Rajendra Shinde, & Sanjay Chhabria!
