Review: Mulshi Pattern (2018)
Cast: Om Bhutkar, Mohan Joshi, Upendra Limaye, Kshitish Date, Savita Malpekar, Mahesh Manjrekar & Pravin Tarde
Director: Pravin Tarde

Quick Viewpoint: The Gangster film genre isn’t explored that often in Marathi cinema. ‘Mulshi Pattern’ succeeds in getting quite a few traits of this genre right, especially the film has an everlasting emotional impact! 

What Fails? 

• The non-linear pattern of the film seems forceful & unnecessary. And while using this pattern the film jumps through the narrative every now & then. The film misses many narrative transitions, & distillates many peak points in the narrative casually.
• The film is in too much love with its characters. The whole narrative at many instances feels like manipulated for the convenience of increasing a character’s impact.
• While using many known traits of the ‘gangster’ genre it doesn’t discover any new possibilities on its own. While the social backdrop of farmers selling their lands is used well & has an emotional impact it doesn’t change the actual ‘gangster’ narrative of the film which lacks freshness.
• While the film is technically smooth. It could have been more rustic in the way in capturing action scenes. For example, too much use of slow motion spoils the impact of a chase scene!
• There’s a track of a teenage boy in the film who is closer to the hero (gangster) of the film played by Om Bhutkar. This whole track seems to be ripped off from another gangster film, a Hindi film named ‘Allah Ke Bandey’ starring Sherman Joshi in lead.

What Works? 

• The film has many elaborate scenes that are specifically designed to create an emotional impact on the audiences. There’s a gimmicky staginess in it. Though in a harmless way! In fact, those moments stay in our memory for a long time after the film is over!
• Om Bhutkar’s performance is one of the year’s finest & the most emotionally effective performance in Marathi of recent times! For the first time, he got the opportunity to shine in a full-fledged lead role in a well marketed commercial film & he has grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
• The chemistry between Om Bhutkar & Mohan Joshi, who plays his father, the role of an old man who is facing the consequences of the actions he once took (of selling the land).
• In fact, the father-son bond works really well in the film, that too in both perspectives; of the son & of the father.
• The dialogues of the film might not become iconic straight away iconic but they are certainly effective & suit the genre of the film & in keeping the audience’s interest throughout.
• There’s a legit audience for this kind of violent gangster films, but very few such films are made in Marathi. ‘Mulshi Pattern’ took it forward from where Mahesh Manjrekar’s ‘Lalbaug Parel’ & Abhijeet Panse’s ‘Rege’ left few years ago!

Final Verdict: ‘Mulshi Pattern’ is a must watch for the audiences who enjoy gangster films & it also gives an emotional impact that might work for any kind of audiences.

Rating: 3/5

The much-awaited trailer of Pravin Tarde directorial ‘Mulshi Pattern’ is finally out! And in very less time it has gone viral on social media.

The film has a tremendous star cast in the form of Om Bhutkar, Kshitish Date, Upendra Limaye, Mohan Joshi, Mahesh Manjrekar & of course the director himself Pravin Tarde. The action scenes seen in the trailer of the film feel so perfect & larger than life. The conflict of the film seems to relate with the audience emotionally!

‘Mulshi Pattern’ hits theatres on 23rd November. This November has already been super successful for Marathi cinema & now ‘Mulshi Pattern’ promises to continue Marathi cinema’s golden phase! This film’s success can open up another genre for Marathi cinema.

Shentimental Marathi Movie Review :

Defining commercial entertainment isn’t easy. There shouldn’t be a specific ‘formula’ to it. But if we observe the films that are highly successful in India, have something in common. It’s the emotional connect! It need not be an out & out tragedy where the audiences keep shedding tears, but few basic ‘touchy’ instances that do the trick, provided the other aspects are taken care of! In case of Sameer Patil’s ‘Shentimental’ the other aspects include unforced humour, & a new approach towards the world of police! 

Sameer Patil succeeds at the most basic stage of this film, the writing! A smoothly crafted three act structure, where the actual aim was not to give us a crime investigation film, but to investigate the human side of both the police & the criminal. Just as the title suggests, this film is sentimental about both parties. Ashok Saraf’s ‘Prahladrao’ a constable, is definitely the heart of the story, but all other characters are equally important. Upendra Limaye’s ‘Dilip Thakur’, Vikas Patil’s MPSC pass out ‘Subhash Jadhav’ & newcomer Suyog Gorhye’s ‘Manoj Pandey’ (the thief) all of them & ‘Prahladrao’ are equally important in the chain of events that take place. In addition to that Raghubir Yadav makes a delightful cameo as a quintessential ‘Bihari Bad***’.

The first act happens in Mumbai, which introduces us to these police men & women working at Andheri’s D.N. Nagar Police station. There are many insightful ‘inner police jokes’ that are a treat! They should be discovered in the theatre itself! ‘Shentimental’ borrows a bit from ‘Dabbang’ for sure, in terms of the overall approach to its characters. But ‘Shentimental’ doesn’t have a hero, & that very quickly establishes an altogether different path for the film. The second act is the most fun part where we are on a railway journey from Mumbai to Bihar! But throughout the two acts ‘Shentimental’ never loses the emotional grip on the audiences.

The final act is a sheer roller coaster ride! Sameer Patil manages to actually transport us to ‘Bihar’! Only the language of this film remains ‘Marathi’ rest of it makes us forget that we are actually watching a Marathi film. We wish the third act was longer, because somewhere the end is a bit abrupt (though it doesn’t spoil our overall experience in any way). Almost every film that aspires for commercial success in India tries to mix & match humour with emotional drama. But very few of them actually manage to figure out the right blend! That too without interrupting the natural rhythm of the story! ‘Shentimental’ is one of those few Indian films that give a ‘complete’ experience to our audiences.

Ashok Saraf’s comeback has been hugely awaited by his countless fans & all of them will have a ball watching the man still dictate the big screen with the same finesse & control! Yes the energy’s not the same, but it’s understandable & also suits a man who is only two years away from his retirement. The back story of Prahladrao’s character is actually relatable to any working common man who has grown up sons or daughters & is nearing his retirement & not just the police.

There’s a little love story established in the first act between Vikas Patil’s character & Pallavi Patil’s character, that needs a mention. Mainly because it can work as a perfect example of how to treat a sub-track in a story! It’s smartly been connected with the extended point ‘Shentimental’ makes about the condition of police & their hectic life. Even their song ‘Ithech Mandu’ so beautifully represents the same.

Sameer Patil’s ‘Poshter Boyz’ & ‘Poshter Girl’ were good, but in parts! Here he has managed to give Marathi cinema an extremely essential dose of guilt free entertainment that also has few important things to say.

Overall:

‘Shentimental’ is a film that is technically well crafted, emotionally strong & refreshingly funny throughout! Not to forget it makes an essential social commentary about the regional disputes between Bihar & Maharashtra! What more can a Marathi movie fan desire!
