मिराह एन्टरटेन्मेंट आणि सतीश राजवाडे यांनी `मुंबई-पुणे-मुंबई’, `प्रेमाची गोष्ट‘ असे अनेक चित्रपट यशस्वीपणे दिले आहेत. आपल्या आगामी `पोपट’बद्दलही दोघांना आत्मविश्वास आहे. कठोर मेहनत आणि संघभावना यांच्या माध्यमातून केवळ  पाचच महिन्यांमध्ये मिराह एन्टरटेन्मेंट आणि राजवाडे यांनी नवा चित्रपट दाखल केला आहे. तो आता प्रदर्शनासाठी सज्ज आहे. अतुल आपल्या भूमिकांच्या बाबतीत अत्यंत निवडक असतो आणि आपल्या भूमिकांमध्ये परिपूर्णता येईल यावर त्याचा कटाक्ष असतो. एकामागोमाग दोन चित्रपट स्वीकारण्याची त्याची ही पहिलीच वेळ आहे. मिराह एन्टरटेन्मेंट प्रायव्हेट लिमिटेड या एकाच निर्मिती कंपनीचे दोन चित्रपट त्याने एकापाठोपाठ स्वीकारले. हे दोन्ही चित्रपट सतीश राजवाडे यांनी दिग्दर्शित केले असून दोन्ही अगदी वेगळ्या धाटणीचे आहेत. हा चित्रपट थेट 30 दिवसांमध्ये चित्रीत केला गेला आहे. कोल्हापूरच्या अत्यंत निसर्गरम्य अशा परिसरात एकाच सत्रात त्याचे चित्रीकरण झाले आहे, असे उद्गार मिराह एन्टरटेन्मेंटचे श्री अमित भानुशाली यांनी काढले.

मिराह एन्टरटेन्मेंटच्या श्री अमित भानुशाली यांनी म्हटले की, ’कंपनीने आतापर्यंत अनेक हॉलीवूड चित्रपटांचे संपादन करून त्यांचे वितरण केले आहे. एमईपीएलने `मम्मी-थ्री’ आणि `पॅरानॉर्मल  अक्टीव्हीटी’ यांसारख्या चित्रपटांचे संपादन आणि वितरण केले आहे.त्याचबरोबर `फिराक’, `जेल’, `हेल्लो’, `8X10 तस्वीर’ आणि इतरही कित्येक चित्रपटांची सह-निर्मिती केली आहे. त्याशिवाय कंपनीने `हाऊसफुल’, `हाऊसफुल 2′, `दबंग’ आदी चित्रपटांचे वितरण केले आहे.“ जगभरातील चित्रपट प्रेक्षकांसाठी मिराह एन्टरटेन्मेंटने नेहमीच दर्जेदार मनोरंजन दिले आहे, असेही भानुशाली पुढे म्हणाले.

Review :

Good love stories make you smile but great love stories make you fall in love with love. Satish Rajwade’s Premachi Goshta surely falls in the second category for it redefines love by presenting it in the simplest form and at the same time keeping the entertainment quotient alive throughout. In fact, the film also has the potential to appeal to those who shy away from the genre.

We have seen uncountable films where a man and a woman meet and they fall in love. Although the same happens here, the events by no means can be labeled unreal or filmi. The nature of the two characters, their meeting, interactions and the development of their relation appear highly believable and straight out of reality. It is vital in such genre of films to make sure the audience feels for the two characters. It happens here very convincingly!
Different theories and philosophical aspects of love are smartly included in the dialogues. This doesn’t become preachy whatsoever since the story continuously moves ahead with it. Talking further about the dialogues, the film is a shining example of how simple and realistic situations can create plenty of humorous moments.

In the movie, Kulkarni’s character is seen stressing on the fact that cinema is nothing but what we see around. Once while talking about film narration, he also asks, “Why can’t we keep it simple?” Rajwade’s interpretation of the story clearly matches with the thought process of his protagonist.

The filmmaker has also brought a novel concept of showing characters’ mobile screen to the audience every time his or her phone rings. This makes us recall how he experimented with black and white images in his last film Badam Rani Gulam Chor. Also in BRGC, the situation of the three characters is reflected in the parallel story of two rival politicians. Over here, the scenario is intelligently depicted in the film script the couple is shown writing.

Apart from the many ups there are few downs. A change of heart of a supporting character isn’t entirely convincing. There also comes a period in the second half where the story appears stretched. Lastly, there are some minute errors in the end which cannot be revealed to avoid spoilers. But thankfully, a heartwarming and, most importantly, simple conclusion makes sure that you really don’t mind about these points.

The lovable track ‘Olya Sanjveli’ plays a role in storytelling and continues to play in your mind long after the film gets over. ‘Haravto Sukhacha’ also suits the proceedings. The nature of the subject and the situations don’t give much scope for the cinematographer to showcase his skills. But Suhas Gujrathi does a good job in keeping the simplicity intact. The same can be said for the background score and editing.

The film wouldn’t have been this impressive without some quality performances from the lead pair. Atul Kulkarni perfectly gets into the skin of the character and provides an outstanding act! He once again proves why he is one of the finest actors around. Sagarika Ghatge makes a confident debut in Marathi cinema. Apart from some tiny errors in pronunciation, she is perfect.

Satish Rajwade is wonderful as Kulkarni’s friend. After a point of time, you anticipate humor every time he comes on screen. Sulekha Talwalkar fits the bill while Mira Velankar is impressive. On her return to Marathi cinema, Rohini Hattangadi gives a mature and sensible performance. Ajay Purkar in a brief role is not bad.

Overall, Premachi Goshta’s redefinition of love deserves to be seen. The film should enjoy good returns at the ticket window, mostly due to the positive word-of-mouth.
