This is the only way to enjoy this mad mad comedy offered by Kedar Shinde and his gang. In a long while, I haven’t seen a movie like ‘Jatra’. This is an out & out masala entertainment and that’s it, Nothing else. This is the kind of movie which begs not to be taken seriously. You might find people complaining about lack of lagic and stroyline but take my word for it. A movie like ‘Jatra’ doesn’t require these things to keep
you entertained. It has many more things for that purpose.

This movie can be compared with Kedar’s plays like Sahi re Sahi, Locha zala re and TV shows like ‘Hasaa Chakatfu’. The movie has no storyline and yet it manages to capture your attention.Kedar has pulled all the tricks to esure that viewers remains engaged. The events take place at such a fast pace that you hardly get time to think at all. The dialogues are another plus point of this film. One must give the credits to all the actors who have given such energetic performances. The movie belongs to Bharat Jadhav, Vijay Chavan and Siddharth Jadahv.

The movie has two catchy songs and both are hit all over Maharashtra. The movie begins with an Item Number by Ankush Chowdhary and the Kombadi Song in the second half is simply hilarious. The movie is
technically slick.

I would like few words of caution though -If what you seek is a sensible and intellectual movie (Are there any?) then please please stay away from ‘Jatra’. Otherwise go ahead and enjoy this mad mad comedy.

Afterall a healthy dose of laughter never does a harm, you see.
