Sanjay Jadhav’s ‘Luckee’ succeeds in competition
Last week eight Marathi films were released including Sanjay Jadhav‘s ‘Luckee‘ and Mahesh Manjrekar‘s ‘Bhai-2‘. And this situation had put our regular Marathi film goers in a dilemma, as to which film to watch. No matter, these films were based on different subjects, the one which invited the attention of youngsters was Sanjay Jadhav’s total entertaining formula film ‘Luckee‘, which was released on Thursday 7th February, instead of Friday. And this helped the film to find ‘word of mouth’ publicity among young viewers.
Speaking about ‘Luckee‘s success, producer Suraj Singh says, “I am happy that my film which is based on youngsters, is more appreciated by college going students. While the exhibitors feel that the youngsters liked the film, because they felt that lead pair in this film perfectly fitted into the requirement of collegians“. Deepti Sati who plays the lead actress in the film is very happy that the film has been released with sub titles, which attracted non Marathi viewers. Abhay Mahajan , the lead actor of this film is glad that he represented today’s youth through this film. Now, let us watch and see how the film progresses further at the box office.

Will 8th February prove suicidal day for Marathi films ?
Till now, we have witnessed five to six Marathi films released on the same day. Only last week we saw the release of four films simultaneously and saw the results. Now, coming Friday Marathi films will be creating a new record of simultaneous releases, with about 9 films selecting 8th February 2019, as their date of release. The names of these films are, ‘Aasud‘, ‘Bhai-2‘, ‘Dahavi‘, ‘Dhadpad‘, ‘Luckee‘, ‘Premrang‘, ‘Premwaari‘, ‘Readymix‘ & ‘Unadmasti‘ . And, this has invited critical reactions from Marathi film lovers. Many of them have questioned these film makers on social networking media.
One such critical reaction has come from one of the media person, whose message has become viral on social networking. He has called it suicidal or #Loot. “Neither does the producer understand nor do the distributors of these films or marketing and PR guys advice the producers the right thing to do,” it reads. And this certainly makes everybody think seriously on this issue. There should be proper understanding among such film makers. How do they expect the audience to watch their film, by keeping a wide choice? If this continues, it will certainly put the audience into a dilemma and there is a possibility that they may prefer to watch such films on television at a later date.
