व्ह्यूपॉइंट: ‘अश्लील उद्योग मित्रमंडळ’ या नावावर जाऊन जर तुम्ही अलीकडे आलेल्या मराठीतल्या काही प्रसिद्ध अडल्ट कॉमेडी सिनेमांसारखा हा हि एक सिनेमा असावा असं समजून हा सिनेमा पाहायला गेलात तर नक्कीच तुमची निराशा होऊ शकते. मात्र मराठीत नवे प्रयोग करणारे सिनेमे क्वचितच प्रदर्शित होत असतात, आणि अशा सिनेमांबद्दल तुम्हाला कुतूहल असेल तर हा सिनेमा नक्कीच पाहायला हवा!

काय जमून आलंय?

• सिनेमा सुरु झाल्याच्या १० मिनिटातच सिनेमा कुठल्या वाटेने जाणार आहे हे प्रामाणिकपणे जाहीर करतो. हि वाट एरव्हीच्या तर्कशुद्ध कथानकात असते तशी नाही. किंबहुना एरव्हीचं पारंपारिक कथानक सुद्धा इथे अस्तितवात नाही. दोन ओळीत जर हे कथानक तुम्हाला सांगितलं तर ते अगदीच बालिश आणि निरर्थक वाटेल. मात्र हा सिनेमा पाहताना कथानक दुय्यम ठरतं. सिनेमातून आपला होणारा भावनानुभव अधिक महत्वाचा आहे. या सिनेमात जर गुंग होऊ शकलो तर सिनेमा अनेकदा हसवतो आणि चांगल्या अर्थी गोंधळवून लावतो.
• ‘अब्सर्ड’ या शब्दाचा गुगल वर येणारा अर्थ ‘अनरिजनेबल’, ‘इललॉजिकल’ इत्यादी हा आहे. म्हणजेच एखादा सिनेमा ‘अब्सर्ड’ आहे असं म्हटलं तर त्यापासून तर्क जपण्याच्या अपेक्षा असू नयेत. अब्सर्डपणा एखाद्या ब्लॅक कॉमेडी किंवा सटायर पेक्षा काहीसा सारखा असला तरी वेगळा असतो. सटायरमध्ये प्रत्येक गोष्टीला विशिष्ट अर्थ असतो, अब्सर्डपणात काही गोष्टींचा अर्थ लागतो (जो प्रत्येकाचा वेगळा असू शकतो) आणि काहींचा नाही लागत. या खेळात रस निर्माण झाला तर आपलं मनोरंजन नक्कीच होतं.
• सर्व कलाकार त्यांच्या परीने त्यांना दिलेली पात्र सामर्थ्याने उभी करतात. अगदी एकाच सीनमध्ये दिसलेला कलाकारही त्याचं काम उत्तम करून जातो. हा सिनेमा बनवणारी आणि त्यात काम करणारी हि सगळी तरुण मंडळी नाटकातल्या शिस्तीत तयार झालेली असल्याने कदाचित त्यांच्या कामात नवेपण जाणवला तरी नवखेपणा अजिबात जाणवत नाही. हे दिग्दर्शक म्हणून आलोक राजवाडे याचं सर्वात मोठं यश आहे.
• सिनेमाचा मूळ विषय तरुणांच्या लैंगिक वंचितपणाशी निगडीत आहे. मात्र या विषयासोबतच एखाद्या तरुणाच्या आयुष्यात इत्तर अनेक गोंधळून टाकणाऱ्या गोष्टी घडत असतात. त्यात मिसळलेला ‘अब्सर्डपणा’ याने सिनेमाचा एकूण माहोल जो तयार होतो तो या पिढीतल्या तरुणांना रिलेट होणारा आहे असं म्हणता येईल. एखादी ‘बॅड ट्रीप’ लागते तेव्हा अवतीभवतीचं जग कसं अस्पष्ट वाटू लागतं तसा अनुभव हा सिनेमा देतो.

काय फसलंय?

• सिनेमातली मुख्य पात्र आपल्यासमोर तुकड्या तुकड्यात उभी केली जातात. त्यांच्याबद्दल सहानुभूती किंवा इत्तर काही तीव्र भावना निर्माण होतील अशी सोय या सिनेमात नाही. आणि त्कया पात्दारांच्चिया एकमेकांशी असलेली नात्तयांमध्ये सुद्धा आपण फार गुंतत नाही. हे जाणीवपूर्वक केलेलं प्रयोजन असावं पण तरी त्यामुळे त्या पात्रांच्या आयुष्यात घडणाऱ्या घटना काहीश्या दुरूनच आपण पाहत राहतो.
• सिनेमाचं कथानक ‘नॉन लिनिअर’ पद्धतीने उलगडत जातं. हे प्रयोजन खरंतर एका विशिष्ट पात्रासाठी केलेलं आहे. पण ते तसं न करता त्या पात्राचं सिनेमात असणं तुकड्या तुकड्यात जर आलं असतं आणि कथानक लिनिअर पद्तधतीने उलगडललं असतं तर अधिक गुंतवणूक प्रेक्षकांची झाली असती आणि शेवटाला जेव्हा ते पात्र मुख्य घटनाक्रमात आणलं जातं तेव्हा ते जबरदस्तीने आणलं आहे असं वाटलं नसतं.
• वरच्या मुद्द्याला धरूनच, अखेर जबरदस्तीने त्या पात्राचं येणं खरंतर सामाजिक संदेश थेट पद्धतीने देता यावा यासाठी केलेलं प्रयोजन आहे. साधारणतः एखद्या ‘अब्सर्ड’ सिनेमात समाजिक संदेश दिला जाणं अपेक्षित नसतं, मात्र तो देऊच नये असाही नियम नाही. तो कसा द्यावा या बद्दल नक्कीच चर्चा होऊ शकते. इथे तो अधिक चातुर्याने देता आला असता जो सिनेमा संपल्यावर आपल्याला विचार करायला लावील.

फायनल व्हर्डीक्ट: पारंपारिक कथानकाच्या पलीकडे कथनक झेलू शकणारी रसिक मंडळी आपल्याकडे कमी प्रमाणात का होईना नक्कीच आहेत. जगभरातला सिनेमा पाहताना आपल्या भाषेत आपल्या तरुण कलाकारांनी बनवलेला हा प्रायोगिक सिनेमा आपण नक्कीच एकदा तरी पाहायला हवा!

Phuntroo Marathi Movie Review:

Sujay Dahake’s debut film had won the hearts of the masses and critics alike. Ajoba, his second venture, despite being path breaking in its subject, was a bit of a mixed bag for me. Phuntroo, too, ends up being like Ajoba- a film that can be appreciated for doing something new in Marathi cinema, but little else.

In Phuntroo, we have a college geek named Vira (Madan Deodhar) who is irresistibly drawn towards Anaya – a slim beauty. Apart from being the general secretary of the student union of the college, Anaya is also in a relationship with the college senior Nano who has been consistently winning the annual gadget competition of the engineering college. Nano’s project for next year requires a room with computers of higher specifications and he manages to get the laboratory of the now deceased founder of the college with the help of his girl and Vira – who has agreed to help Nano with his project. While working on the project Vira tells Anaya of his feeling which she doesn’t give much heed. While struggling with the rejection, Vira accidently stumbles upon an unfinished project of the founder in his room. The founder Mr. Rao was working on a creating a holographic projection of an artificial person programmed by him. Vira picks up from where Rao had left it unfinished and vents his frustration into creating a holographic projection of a programmed artificial person which is like a virtual reproduction of Anaya. The more he works on the programmed person created through artificial intelligence more it starts becoming like the real Anaya.

The biggest issue I had with the film is that nothing really takes any solid shape or form here. It is ironic that this has to happen to a film that deals with holograms. Vira, a college undergraduate, comes up with a hologram of Anaya without much of a struggle. Yes, he borrows a lot from Mr. Rao’s work but you are left unconvinced about the capacities of Vira coming up with something this significant and accurate. A large part about the charm of science fiction is a plausible explanation about the science in the film, but the film is short on that aspect too. As a result, you aren’t as wowed by the sci-fi elements as much as you should be.

Shala was very sharp in the manner it established the world of the gang of friends in school and also the infatuation the lead character Joshi has for Shirodkar. But this isn’t replicated in Phuntroo. The scenes exploring the chemistry between the gang of college friends lacks the vibrancy and sharpness necessary. The crush Vira has for Anaya is brought forward through two songs, but they do not make much of an impact either. So, neither the romance nor the sci-fi holds much of your attention. You don’t connect with the film and care little for the characters.

However, Phuntroo is that rare Marathi film that is well crafted on the technical side. Where most Marathi films resemble either plays or tv soap operas in story as well as their direction, Phuntroo is a breath of fresh air. The look of the film brought to fore by the dop gives it a mystical feel. The visual effects used for creating the holographic projection are spectacular. VFX even in big budgeted Hindi films are at times laughably bad but here nowhere does it comes across as amateurish and the vfx team have done a commendable job.

The dialogues deserve a special mention, as they are full of sharp wit and smart references to scientists and other thinkers like Sigmund Freud. The conversation between Phuntroo (the holographic projection of Anaya) and Vira are the high points of the film.

Another plus of the film is the acting; Ketaki Mategoankar has come of age with her acting here with her portrayal of Phuntroo. In the beginning, Phuntroo, though it looks exactly as Anaya, doesn’t have much life in it and is a very robotic creature. As Vira goes on working on it, Phuntroo becomes more and more like Anaya; this subtle progression of the artificially created person into something more lifelike is brilliantly brought about by Ketaki in her performance and the dialogues as well. Madan Deodhar, who is a sort after actor in the marathi film industry with his superlative performance in Vihir, lives up to his reputation and does justice to the role of an egotist science geek who has hopelessly fallen in love with a girl.

Overall:

Even the solid performances, sharp dialogues and the technical expertise aren’t enough to save the film from becoming something that doesn’t draw you enough into its world to make it enjoyable. It can only be lauded for being that rare well mounted film in Marathi cinema that broaches spaces hitherto unexplored.

The post Phuntroo Review: Technically sound, but not always interesting appeared first on MarathiStars.

Ketaki Mategaonkar became a sensation in Marathi cinema with her cute girl looks in Timepass and Kaksparsh. However, the teen star has decided to change her image of a girl next door with Phuntroo. This is a Sci-fi film directed by Sujay Dahake and Ketaki plays double role of a college student and a robot.

We caught up with Ketaki at the press meet of the film and asked about this film.

The title ‘Phuntroo’ sounds very strange.

Yes. The film is in the science fiction genre, the first of its kind in Marathi cinema.  I am playing the lead role of a robot girl called ‘Phuntroo’ created by a failed engineer played by Madan Deodhar as well as his love interest co-student. The film has spectacular visual effects and brilliant cinematography. The film has done remarkable job in all the technical departments.

So, role of a robot girl, that sounds exciting. How did you research for this role?

I did many workshops with Sujay Sir. These workshops helped me tremendously but major research was done by watching lot of Hollywood films and TV shows in the similar genre to get an idea about what the character is all about and how I can portray this difficult role more convincingly.

How was the experience of working in the film?

It was an amazing experience. Sujay sir is always ready to push the envelope a little further and hopefully I have achieved what he had envisaged for my character. The actual shoot was a bit difficult and different for me, because of the special effects, we had to shoot and reshoot again and again with different angles and though it was hard work, the grand look of the film is a great boost for me.

How was it working with Madan?

Mandar is an old friend and we get along really well and it was fun to work with him. The rest o the cast was fairly new but we had a nice time on the sets.

Have you sung for the film?

Yes. I am always happy to sing because that is my real passion.  I am a trained singer and to get songs composed by Hrishikesh Datar,Jasraj Joshi, and Saurav Bhalerao was really a good experience for me.

What are your expectations from the film?

That the film is produced by a big banner like Eros International and producer Krishka Lulla has put in a lot of efforts to make this as a grand visual spectacle. I am hoping audience gives us a positive feedback, because though Sci-fi has always been very successful genre, we have not many Marathi films in this genre.

Thanks Ketaki, for speaking with Marathistars.com. We wish you and Phuntroo team all the best for your release.

Singer Jasraj Joshi and lyricist Vaibhav Joshi is a lethal combination. Don’t believe us? Then watch the next song from Phuntroo “Alakha Niranjan Tu”! The amazing lyrics of this song effortlessly etch the passion and possessiveness of the geek boy played by Madan Deodhar. The terrific composition by Hrishikesh Saurabh Jasraj had taken this song to another level by giving it a fusion rock treatment. The song has been sung by Jasraj and his rocking voice does full justice to the lines “Moksh Tu” However, as the song progresses, it turns into a different air portraying heartache and troubles of love. Again, Jasraj sings these lines very fluently and showcases those exact emotions described by the lyrics of the song.

The video of the song shows montage of various events happening in the film. In the beginning, the character played by Madan describes his love through his anger and passion. Madan looks very convincing in this monologue. Ketaki looks very sweet and her dance moves are very stylish.

The song has a feel of rock and fusion, yet it remains true to the core of the film. Another gem from this Sujay Dahake directed sci-fi romance. We are sure, audience is eagerly waiting for the release of this interesting film. Well, the film releases on 11 March all over Maharashtra.

This Valentine’s Day was made extra special as Phuntroo Team released their first romantic track. To hear such a nice contemporary love ballad with a brilliant cinematography is surely a treat. Though Phuntroo is a sci-fi film, it also portrays a passionate and complicated love story.

The film is about a college nerd and his love interest. Ketaki Mategaonkar, female lead of this film looks very cute. Her looks in this film have been designed as per modern college students,  and some of the accessories used by her will surely become a fashion trend. Madan Deodhar, the adolescent teenager from Balak Palak will be seen in the lead role for this film. His geeky look has been accentuated by curly hair and glasses.

Ti Mi is picturized on the backdrop of an engineering college and the chemistry between Madan and Ketaki is amazing. The sheer poetry written by Mandar Cholkar is really very romantic and fresh voice of Jasraj Joshi makes the track more pleasant. The song has been composed and arranged by Hrishikesh Saurabh Jasraj. There is a nice dreamy and lovely feel throughout this song. The guitar pieces make this track effortless and very romantic.

The Valentine’s Day for youth was made extra special by release of this cute track.

With a lead pair that actually looks like College going kids, a sci-fi plot and amazing direction by Sujay Dahake makes Phuntroo trailer very exciting. The trailer is very fast-paced, neatly crafted and arouses curiosity about the film in the minds of the audience.

The film’s leading lady is gorgeous Ketaki Mategaonkar whose looks in this film have already become a fashion trend. The film also stars Madan Devdhar, Shivraj Waichal, Shivani Rangole, Ruthuraj Shinde, Anshumanm Joshi, Rohit Nikam et al.

Phuntroo is a science fiction film, a genre which not very much attempted in Marathi cinema. The experimental director of films like Shala, Dahake has managed to make another interesting film which will suit the palates of younger generation. The story unfolds in an engineering campus where a nerdy boy falls for a cute girl. However, the love story does not go in the regular fashion and what creates troubles for the young kid will be seen in the film.

The film will be releasing on March 11 all over Maharashtra.
