In ‘Dombivli Fast‘ released in 14 years ago, we saw the story of a middle-class bank employee, Madhav Apte, an ordinary, law-abiding and honest citizen who faces constant frustration with the injustice and corruption that pervades in all walks of his life. Now, Sandeep Kulkarni who was the lead actor of ‘Dombivli Fast‘ makes his comeback after about 5 years through ‘Dombivli Return‘, in which besides playing the lead role, he has also turned producer. Directed by Mahendra Teredesai this film is also set on the backdrop of Dombivli and the middle-class family. It displays the psychological experience of a middle-class Government servant Anant Velankar( Sandeep Kulkarni), who is honest; but lands into trouble when he discovers a secret of his most respected Boss, who is the minister.
How it affects his personal life, the director has shown it very cleverly; keeping in mind the set rules of middle-class morals. But, what would happen, if someone like Velankar tries to break these rules? Will his conscience permit him to do so? This is what director Mahendra Teredesai has tried to show through five important characters, in this film.
Sandeep Kulkarni in the role of Anant Velankar has given his best through this role. Being one of the producers, he has put in extra efforts in many emotion filled scenes. In the role of his wife, Rajeshwari Sachdev has offered very good support. Watch her in one of the scenes, where she is shown turning hysteric. In the supporting role, Amol Parashar has done a good job, while playing Anant’s younger brother. Hrishikesh Joshi is also one such actor in this film, who has given a wonderful performance, in the role of Anant’s close friend; while little Tanishka Shinde, looks very natural while playing Anant’s daughter.
Music by Shailendra Barve is apt for this kind of film, while Udaysingh Mohite’s photography, has given ‘Dombivli Return‘ film a special look. There is one good message offered by this film, ‘If you want to judge one’s character, bestow him with power.’ All in all, ‘Dombivli Return‘ is a kind of film, that will make you think.
