Laal IShq Marathi Movie Review:

Swwapnil Joshi is the rare actor in the Marathi film industry who can be called a ‘star’. He does attract audience to the theatre and it is indeed a commendable achievement in a film industry deprived of such fan following. His film Friends, that released earlier this year, didn’t really make any mark and vanished from the theatres without a trace. So his fans would certainly be looking forward to Laal Ishq – a romance murder mystery, produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, no less. But, rather sadly, they are in for another major disappointment. Laal Ishq is a poor film at nearly all levels.

If there is one level that the film is good, then it has to be the basic concept. In the film, two suspects to a murder case are being interrogated. Their stories do not match. So either one of them is lying and most likely is related to the crime. This is certainly a subject not explored in marathi cinema. But Laal Ishq, probably due to Swapnil Joshi’s romantic hero image, forces a rather clichéd and hackneyed love story, and that proves to be the major undoing of the film.

Yash Patwardhan (Swwapnil Joshi) and a theatre troupe have driven down to a resort in Lonavala to rehearse their play. Janhavi (Anjana Sukhani) is the manager of the resort. Needless to mention, Yash and Janhavi fall in love at first sight, despite both of them being committed to someone else. Meanwhile, the rather mean director of the play is murdered and police officers Randive and his assistant are investigating the case. Randive interrogates Yash and Janhavi and the story unfolds on the screen in flashback. However, as mentioned before, the stories of Yash and Janhavi don’t match, so we are not sure whose story to trust. But even as the interrogation is in process, few more murders take place in the resort and the police finally close in on the killer.

Laal Ishq would have done so much better without the love story. Not only is it as clichéd as it can get, but the love scenes are filled with such cringe-worthy dialogues that I started squirming in seat. Add to that the poor dialogue delivery of the lead actress Anjana Sukhani. The film is also full of caricatures that sometime become laughing stock. And let’s not even get to the logical loopholes -why is a film star rehearsing a fairly small time play? In a scene we see that Janhavi reaches a place faster than a car, despite herbeing shown limping! The reason given in the end behind Janhavi and Yash’s statements not matching seems devoid of logic as well.

The film does get a little engaging towards the end. Though you can predict the killer from a distance, the revelation is the better part about the film.The only performance that impresses is of Kamlesh Sawant who plays the police officer Randive.

Overall:

Laal Ishq is a poorly made romance murder mystery which the presence of even Swwapnil Joshi cannot save.

As the release date of the SLB productions first Marathi film Laal Ishq is coming closer, the makers of the film have started using innovative methods to promote the film. Recently the cast and crew along with some film journalists spent a day at a Lonavala resort.

The cast of this film presented a skit about the film to introduce their character and also performed on the dance number “Chimani Chimani”. The story of the film revolves around a murder and how all the film characters are accused of this murder and everyone of them tried to prove of their innocence. The cast included Swapnil Joshi, Anjana Sukhani, Samidha Guru, Kamlesh Sawant, Uday Tikekar, Yashashree Masurkar, Sneha Chavan, Farjil Paradeevala, Piyush Ranade, Jaywant Wadkar et al.

Apart from the film promotions, the actors and the journalists also rewind themselves at this resort and played various games like snooker and spent some quiet time around the nature.
The film will be releasing on 27 May all over Maharashtra.

As Laal Ishq is gearing up for its release on 27 May, the songs have been releasing by the makers. The latest released song “Chimani Chimani” is a fun party song featuring most of the cast of the film minus the leading lady Anjana Sukhani. The song seems to be the celebration, however, given the mood of the film, there is something going on with the characters and of this film.

The song shows Piyush Ranade, Sneha Chavan , Jaywant Wadkar and Priya Arun dancing in a party. Swapnil Joshi reluctantly joins them, but clearly the plot is thickening in the song. We have to see the film to know exactly what is going on in this song. The song has been composed by Amit Raj and sung by Adarsh Shinde and Amitraj. What is more surprising is actors Swapnil, Piyush and Jaywant Wadkar have also sung some lines of this song!! And they have done an excellent job. Sneha and Piyush dances really good, Swapnil as usual steals the show with his charm.

The lyrics of this song have been written by Sachin Pathak and the film is directed by Swapna Waghmare Joshi. The film has been produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali Productions.

The new song from much-awaited Laal Ishq has been released. The passionate song has been composed by Nilesh Mohrir and sung by Swapnil Bandodkar and Vaishali Samant.

Chaand Maatala is a very loving song about passion of the love. The setting of the song is very much like Sanjay Leela Bhansali films. The chandeliers and burning candles immediately reminds of old era. The use of bright colors and hues creates lovely illusion for the audience. The bold yet sensational moves by Anjana Sukhani are very good. The song uses slo-mo very nicely.

The film is directed by Swapna Waghmare Joshi and will be releasing in the theaters on 27th May 2016.

Though SLB Productions, Laal Ishq is a very dark and sinister film, the cast and crew managed to make the work more fun on the sets. The new face of the Sneha Chavan became the victim of the ragging by the Swwapnil Joshi. On her first day of the shoot, Swapnil told her to give Rs. 101 to the cameraman as a “Shagun” which will make her career super-hit. He also promised her that this is correct and auspicious way to start to start the shooting. Sneha believed him and when she went to give the cameraman Rs. 101 everyone on the sets started laughing.

Innocent Sneha could not believe that Swapnil could pull such a prank on her! Then she also joined in the laughter! We bet Sneha will never forget her first day of the shoot.
