Upcoming Zee5 original series ‘Hutatma’ starring Anjali Patil, Vaibhav Tatwawadi, Sachin Khedekar is finally exploring that chapter in the history of Maharashtra where many activists & those fighting for a united Maharashtra lost their lives. Even after so many years we have hardly seen any of it in our pop culture, whether it’s theatre, films, T.V. or the web platform! But now on Zee5’s web platform this history will finally get explored.

The series will be available in both Marathi & Hindi for the audiences on Zee5. The teaser of the series was recently uploaded on the platform & it truly looks very powerful & realistic. Anjali Patil especially steals the show in the last shot of the teaser. This series is directed by Jayprad Desai who has a history of creating fiction related to politics. He previously made the political thriller ‘Nagrik’ starring Sachin Khedekar.

The series also stars Abhay Mahajan, Anand Ingle and many other Marathi actors. Web platforms are truly diminishing the boundaries of language, culture & even subjects. Subjects that cannot be shown on Television can be explored through this platform with complete creative freedom for the creators!

What’s Up Lagna Movie Review:

The promos & trailers of ‘What’s Up Lagna’ suggested something drastically different from the actual film. A trailer doesn’t need to summarize the whole film & imbibe the main conflict of the film, but it needs to give a fair idea about the genre of the film. ‘What’s Up Lagna’ is anything but a ‘rom com’!

One of the biggest problems with ‘What’s Up Lagna’ is unfortunately ‘product placement’ something we usually ignore these days, in this case I couldn’t! There’s a particular matrimonial site that had no reason whatsoever to exist in this film because the lead characters have already met physically! The film shamelessly lingers on it’s name trying to infuse it within the narrative, eventually failing at it miserably. I couldn’t keep a count but roughly there are 7-8 different products (or services) that the film has shamelessly endorsed.

An IT Engineer (Vaibhav Tatwawadi) & an actress (Prathana Behere) slowly & steadily fall for each other & without much conflict get married. The film does all this till the first half & we are yet in search of a conflict. We are aware that the film wants us to believe that it’s the opposing natures of the characters that would bring the conflict, but the actual conflict has very little to do with their opposing natures! The first half also tries to create a modern day family drama among the families of Vaibhav’s & Prarthana’s characters which appears a montage of scenes we have seen in different recent films from ‘Coffee Ani Barach Kahi’ to ‘Muramba’. The opening credits sequence introduced us to Vaibhav’s & Prarthana’s characters by letting us into their morning routines. Sadly the interest that is created by this sequence is never recreated again in the film.

At many instances the film keeps telling us how the two of them are a perfect mismatch. But never considers a perspective that inherent personalities of people are not really connected with the work they do. The film stereotypes how an ‘artist’ would be in his/her personal life & will only change provided something drastic, a tragedy has happened in his/her life. It also feels that ‘creativity’ is restricted to certain ‘types’ of works alone! As said earlier these differences have so little to do in the actual conflict of the film which arrives much late in the second half!

The modern relationships today don’t have the luxury of ‘time’! Jobs are no longer conveniently 9-5, one needs to choose between time & career (or money). It’s difficult to have your cake & eat it too. This was truly a relatable subject one that can resonate with all kinds of audiences today. In one of the dialogues by a supporting character the life of this couple is explained as independent from each other, they are living together in a house but are living their lives alone on their selves. However after introducing the subject the film doesn’t really understand how to plan it’s journey. The resolution is rather oversimplified & makes the whole exercise unimportant.

Vaibhav Tatwawadi a usually magnetic actor gives a blandly understated performance here. Prarthana Behere displays her limitations openly while playing an animated ‘messy’ modern day girl. The supporting cast too doesn’t shine anywhere in the film. The only strength the film has is a subject that is so relatable yet unheard of in our films. But a known fact is that just an idea is never enough, a good writer needs to execute it well first on the paper & then the director has to keep the purity of the execution intact. The film failed in both departments.

Overall:

If You’re expecting a rom com entertainer here, you need to know that ‘What’s Up Lagna’ isn’t one. And it’s a 2 & half hour long film that couldn’t make the most of it’s timely subject that could have resonated with today’s film watchers.

Vaibhav Tatwawadi & Prarthana Behere have earlier worked in films like ‘Coffee Ani Barach Kahi’ together & have impressed the audiences with their chemistry. What’s Up Lagna too looks to have the similar chemistry between the two. From the trailer we can definitely say that this film represents the new age rom com genre in Marathi cinema!

The characters of both Vaibhav & Prarthana have been clearly introduced in the trailer & the equation between the two too has been well defined. From what we know Vaibhav plays an engineer & Prarthana plays the role of an actress. Both Vaibhav & Prarthana characters that are so much close to their real selves! As Prarthana is an actress playing an actress & Vaibhav too is an engineer by education!

The audiences like to see a reflection of their own culture, lifestyle & love stories in films & ‘What’s Up Lagna’ seems to be a complete package where this reflection has been combined with humour & overall rom com entertainment elements!

Vaibhav Tatwawadi & Pooja Sawant starrer ‘Bhetali Tu Punha‘ is one of the most awaited Marathi movies of this season. Directed by the ‘Dagdi Chaal’ fame Chandrakant Kanse, the trailer of this film presents Vaibhav & Pooja in an altogether new avatar.

Falling in love is a special experience in its own but when it happens on a train journey with a stranger it becomes even more special. Many Hindi films like ‘Jab We Met’ & ‘Chennai Express’ have dealt with these themes before. In Marathi, ‘Bhetali Tu Punha’ seems to be the first attempt on such lines.

Another interesting aspect about the trailer & the film is that it focuses on falling on love at second sight. Pooja Sawant‘s character shows different traits in the trailer itself. What is it that changes her? Or she doesn’t change, instead Vaibhav’s perspective changes? All these questions will soon be answered when ‘Bhetali Tu Punha’ releases in theatres on 28th July!
