Manus Ek Mati Marathi Movie Review :

“Oh, you could study Shakespeare and be quite elite,
And you could charm the critics and have nothing to eat,
Just slip on a banana peel, the world’s at your feet
Make ’em laugh, make ’em laugh, make ’em laugh!”

– From the Hollywood Musical “Singin’ In The Rain”

‘Manus Ek Mati’ surely made us laugh! Though unintentionally & quite ridiculously. Marathi cinema had many such wonders (read disasters) in recent times (last 2-3 months) which were competing for the ‘so bad that it’s good’ title, but most of them were simply boring. Finally we have a winner!

A decade ago, came a Marathi film titled ‘Sakka Bhau Pakka Vairi’. The film was loud, stereotypical & quite obvious. But it was a huge hit in the rural areas. There were many dying ‘touring talkies’ that were revived because of it. Why? Simply because it made a connection! Even for an ‘elite’ audience such films can have the strength to manipulate them emotionally. So the point is ‘Manus Ek Mati’ belongs to the same genre. And the genre or style is not outright waste.

The story of this film is unnecessarily told in a flashback. Baban (Ganesh Yadav) & Laxmi (Harsha Gupte) become parents to an orphan child. The child grows on to become a smart, studious, all dancing, all fighting film hero, Vijay (Siddharth Jadhav). Then he falls in love with Vidya (Ruchita Jadhav) & they get married. Now the proceedings that follow have no indications of a certain change that we see in all major characters. There’s this ever-present narrator Anna (a friend of Baban) who exists just for the sake of existing.
Later part of the film also shares resemblance to 2016’s major hit ‘Natsamrat’. A tragedy is a risky business, yes it can be loud or even theatrical in some cases but it still needs to be a decently made film. When all the basics of filmmaking are given a toss, & the whole attention is on the message & the loudness with which the message is being delivered it becomes a true disaster.

Both Siddharth Jadhav & Ganesh Yadav are good actors, but the film doesn’t allow us to ever enjoy their skills. Not just because they are made to overdo their stuff, or have got badly written characters & situations but also because the editing of the film keeps abruptly cutting almost every single scene in which we are slightly trying to invest us. The background score of ‘Manus Ek Mati’ is unbelievably loud.

If that’s not enough the film has a truly lethal item number placed as abruptly as possible within the already messed up narrative. Indra Kumar, a Bollywood hero from the 90s makes a cameo appearance (god knows why) in this song alongside another 90s icon ‘Milind Gunaji’! Certain films that are bad, know that they are bad, but ‘Manus Ek Mati’ has no idea whatsoever about how & what it’s turning out to be. And that is the sole reason it can be enjoyed for its unbounded ridiculousness.

However the biggest absurdity arrives after the film ends. Post the runtime of the film, when the credits appear, there also appears a lady (assumably the producer) who again gives the necessary ‘message’ if at all the audience failed to ‘get it’ after watching the whole film. Even then we burst into laughter.

Overall:

‘Manus Ek Mati’ is a film that quite disrespectfully abuses the medium of cinema & story telling. Yes the film is unintentionally funny & all, but that’s not what we want. Or do we?

The post Manus Ek Mati Review: Ridiculously Loud & Unintentionally Hilarious! appeared first on MarathiStars.

Currently different subjects & content are being made in Marathi Cinema. ‘Manus Ek Maati’ is one such unique film. Set to release on 24^th March, the content of this film is just as profound as the title of the film. Even if it’s true that all human beings ultimately end up being one with the mud, but what if a person’s life turns into mud while he is still alive? 

Many times we have seen films made on the greatness of a ‘Mother’, but seldom do we see a film that emphasizes the importance & greatness of a ‘Father’. ‘Manus EkMaati’ is a film that focuses on the sacrifices & hardships that a father goes through. Hence, ‘Manus Ek Maati’ is a film that should be watched by the whole family together.

Sharda Vijaykumar Kharat, the producer who believed in this subject decided to make this film under the ‘Shivam Entertainment India Ltd.’ banner along with co-producers Dr. Vijaykumar Kharat, Dilip Nimbekar & executive producer Deva Pande.

The film stars the highly energetic Siddharth Jadhav, Ganesh Yadav (in the father’s role), Ruchita Jadhav, Swapnil Rajshekhar, Harsha Gupte, Dr. Vilas Ujavne, Varad Chavan, Kishore Mahabole & Jagannath Nivangune. The lyrics & compositions for Manus Ek Maati’s songs are credited to Prashant Hedao& are sung by popular singers like Adarsh Shinde, Swapnil Bandodkar, Dr.Neha Rajpal, Bela Shende, Sheena Arora & P Ganesh.
