In ‘Mumbai Pune Mumbai‘ ( MPM) we saw the happening of love between Gautam and Gauri. In the second part we were introduced to their family members and misunderstandings between the lead pair but, finally we saw both of them agreeable for their marriage. Now, in ‘Mumbai Pune Mumbai-3′ (MPM -3) we find the happily married couple completing 3 years of their married life. Time comes when Gauri comes to know that she is pregnant, in spite of taking precautions. At this stage, both are not ready to become parents, due to their busy work schedule. Gautam feels that the right time would be after two years.

As the news about Gauri’s pregnancy spreads among their parents and relatives and we see the seniors in a happy mood. Finally, Gauri takes a decision to make all of them happy. And we notice all those traditional rituals observed to treat a pregnant woman in Maharashtrian families after which Gauri moves to her mother’s place, With few surprises and emotion filled happenings taking place, we find ‘all is well’ in the end, with enough material for Part 4 of this film.

‘MPM-3‘ focuses more on the busy lifestyle of the working couples today and the problems they face, when it is time for pregnancy of the woman. However, very cleverly the film shows the strong bonding of the young couple with their parents and elder members of the family, in spite of the existing generation gap. Enough scope is offered to every senior artiste in supporting cast and hence we get the feeling that it is the story of a working couple living next door.

Undoubtedly, the chemistry between Swwapnil and Mukta works very well and therefore both of them are at their best in this film too. They find good support from Mangal Kenkre, Prashant Damle, Suhas Joshi, Savita Prabhune, Vijay kenkre and others. Rohini Hattangadi who plays a close relative cum Gynecologist also impresses with her performance. What is remarkable is the use of speaking emojis reacting to every important situation in the film. The dialogues are more sensible and humour filled in the first half and so is the screenplay . But, in the second half it has been overstretched little before the climax, which is the only drawback of this film. Music and background music is just fine. Cinematography is good. Technically, it is a well made film. All in all ‘MPM-3‘ is a good family film.
