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! On the opening Friday ‘Boyz 2’ made 1.30 Crores (Which is a big number for a Marathi film) & then on Saturday the film earned 1.61 Crores & on Sunday it made 2.20 Crores! 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!

While ‘Boys’ one was a laugh ride, ‘Boyz 2‘ promises to be a twice as exciting as the prequel. The three boys are now in college & they are continuing their antics in the hostel of the college even with the seniors. After a long time, we are seeing a proper college film in Marathi. A genre that is very much close to the youth audiences.

The overall canvas of ‘Boyz 2’ looks bigger than the prequel. The locations & the songs of the film look lavish & reflect great production values. The surprise package in the trailer was Girish Kulkarni’s part! After his villain’s role in ‘Faster Fene’ Girish Kulkarni seems to be continuing his swagger in ‘Boys 2’!

This film promises to bring back your memories of the fun you had in your college or hostel days! And if you are currently a student then ‘Boyz 2’ becomes even more relatable & should be seen with your whole college group as the fun of the ‘naughty’ dialogues of ‘Boyz 2’ is meant to be enjoyed with our friends!

Seems like the audiences are truly loving the ‘Boyz’. This unique teenage comedy has attracted the college going & other young audiences all over Maharashtra. Moreover there is positive word of mouth for the film which means their box office collections will go on increasing in the upcoming weeks!

The songs ‘Mayalu Kanvalu’ & ‘Kuthe Kuthe Jayacha Honeymoon La’ should also be credited for attracting the audiences towards theatres. This film is easily relatable to growing up teenagers who are experiencing changes in them & around them. Hence, the success of the film proves that the film has managed to connect with these audiences.

Parth Bhalerao’s performance as ‘Dhungya’ has been widely appreciated by the crowd. We expect Parth to soon turn out to be a superstar for Marathi cinema after all he is talented in every way. If you haven’t seen ‘Boyz’ yet don’t waste anymore time & watch the film only in theatres.

Boyz Marathi Movie Review :

First & foremost I would say that the whole marketing strategy applied by the makers & sellers of ‘Boyz’ has succeeded! I happened to watch this film in a regular theatre with a fair percentage of occupancy. I was pleasantly surprised by it. Almost all of the audiences comprised of college going ‘Boys’! And they came in here whole heartedly with their own groups to enjoy the film. In my observation they fairly enjoyed the film. So if you’re one of those audiences who have finalized their decision to watch this film in theatres? Watch it.

To those who are still reading this, I have a few things to put down. Firstly Marathi cinema has been (or rather had been) celebrated for choosing unique subjects consistently. That consistency isn’t visible in recent times. The basic structure of ‘Boyz’ could easily be seen in last year’s poorly made ‘Yaari Dosti’. While ‘Yaari Dosti’ was plainly intolerable ‘Boyz’ isn’t. However ‘Boyz’ shows only a few glimpses of truly smashing (just ‘fair’ isn’t enough) popular entertainment. A few opening shots of this film reminded me of ‘3 Idiots’ & later the film kept reminding me of ‘3 Idiots’ & ‘Munna Bhai MBBS’ combined! The thing is, not everyone can manage to be funny yet emotionally, socially relevant all the time like Rajkumar Hirani (maker of 3 Idiots & Munna Bhai).

However the transition from being funny to a moment when the film expects the audiences to take it seriously is quite tricky! I could read the awkward laughs from the audiences during this tricky phase of this film. The problem here is the lack of logic in the very basic conflict of the film. Generally, a mid teenager (Sumant Shinde) could be considered to be sensible enough, that a mother could openly tell him about the father he never had in his life. Fine at that stage we could still forgive this as a minor flaw. But later this flaw keeps haunting us every time the film wishes to establish an emotional connect with the audiences. (Instead the emotional connect had a broader scope with the other two ‘Boyz’). Though Shilpa Tulaskar’s performance as the mother is very much believable, in fact all the performances are decent enough (including the small parts played by Santosh Juvekar & Vaibhav Mangale) to not harm the film in any way.

Talking about the part that brought the audiences in theatres, the outsiders who enter a strict boarding school! Parth Bhalerao is good at playing the same character repeatedly! He still manages to interest us with his presence. The other actor (Pratik Lad) too is decent in his part. But again they (their characters) are one-dimensional & predictable throughout. As the film progresses the humor is no longer as novel as it was when they first entered the school asking for a selfie from their new strict principal! 

Another major problem with ‘Boyz’ is the character of the supposed villain, the principal (Zakir Hussain). Throughout the film only a few dialogues mouthed by a good hearted professor (Juvekar) & the back ground music emphasize the villainous traits of this otherwise considerate principal! Later in a scene, almost forcefully he is transformed into a full-fledged bad guy & suddenly he is made to appear like a prison warden!

I don’t understand why every film made in Marathi these days wishes to make a greater point, some kind of moral of the story. I was reminded of Sujay Dahake’s ‘Shala’ a film that never had any intention of giving us a moral lesson, yet it turned out to be the best Marathi film made on the school life scenario. So the moral of the story for ‘Boyz’ is in fact a complete mess! I won’t give up everything but let’s say it’s anti-3 Idiots! Remember what Rancho was famous for? Asking questions! I didn’t crave for a moral from ‘Boyz’. I would have been interested in seeing how the two outsiders truly set this establishment in chaos & all of that with no sense of responsibility! That’s what films that are made with sheer purpose of entertaining the audiences should do!

Though Parth Bhalerao is good, he isn’t the strongest aspect of the film. Surprisingly & sadly the strongest aspects here are the technical aspects like the camera work & sound. The background score had so much scope to be louder & irritating but thankfully it’s not. The dialogues of this film definitely work, but with the restrictions provided by the overall screenplay of the film.

Overall:

As said earlier, If you’ve already made your plans to watch this film, definitely watch it but don’t expect it to be a ‘Sairat’ or ‘3 Idiots’! Again to those who haven’t, ‘Boyz’ is a film that is well made technically, but with very primary errors in the screenplay, errors that are overall unforgivable!  

The post Boyz Review (Marathi Movie): Unevenly Amusing! appeared first on MarathiStars.

Every once in a while comes a Marathi song that forces everyone to dance no matter where they are & what they are doing. ‘Lagnalu’ song from Boyz composed & written by Marathi rockstar Avadhoot Gupte has turned out to be that big hit Marathi dance anthem of the season.

The unique lyrics & the rhythm of the song, has made the audiences crazy for the song. Add to that the energy of actor Parth Bhalerao who performs in the video of the song. This song represents the whole mood & soul of the upcoming movie ‘Boyz’ which is soon releasing on 8^th September.   

The song is sung by Kaustubh Gaikwad (younger brother of Little Champ Kartiki Gaikwad) & Janardan Khandalkar. Choreographer Sujit Kumar also deserves credit in the success of this song for making this click with all the audiences. This song is one of the biggest viral songs on the social media in Marathi this year! So if you still haven’t seen the video of it or heard it, don’t waste anymore time!

Lot of Marathi films have been made in recent times where the protagonists are teenager kids. But ‘Boyz’ promises to bring an altogether different genre in Marathi cinema. One where the teenage kids are on the verge of becoming grown-ups, so that brings in the unusual naughtiness of that age. Film stars Sumant Shinde, Parth Bhalerao, Pratik Lad Santosh Juvekar, Zakir Hussain, Vaibhav Mangale, Shilpa Tulaskar, Sharvari Jemanis, Bhau Kadam & Sunny Leone.

Parth Bhalerao has garnered lots of acclaim with his performances in films like Killa, Bhoothnath Returns & Disco Sannya. Here too he looks in top form & displays his usual spot on comic timing. The film is set in a boarding school where discipline is extremely important. But outsiders enter into this world initiating a fun journey!

The song composed & written by Avadhoot Gupte ‘Amhi Lagnalu’ has already become a hit & this trailer promises the same madness that is present in this song. It would be interesting to see how our audience react to this new genre of Marathi cinema.
