Most of the Marathi films have certain amount of humour included in the main story. But, pure comedy films are rarely done. After, late Dada Kondke’s rib tickling village based comedies and the perfect timing of comedy used by Ashok Saraf and late Laxmikant Berde in few of their past films, no such attempt appears to have been made, in the recent past. But, new Marathi film ‘Poshter Boyz’ is purely an entertaining film of a different style. It is a story of three gentlemen staying in Vadaner village of Maharashtra, whose photos together appear on a poster. These three main characters in the title roles are Jagan Deshmukh alias Aaba (Dilip Prabhavalkar) Sadanand Kulkarni alias Mastar (Hrishikesh Joshi) and young Arjun Jagtap (Aniket Vishwasrao).

At the beginning of the film the trio visit a Village fair and take their photographs. How these photographs are misused, has been disclosed at the end of the film. After this, some strange incidents take place. Engagement of the daughter of Aaba Deshmukh is broken. When Arjun Jagtap’s girlfriend (Pooja Sawant)’s father sees him first time, he opposes their marriage. Mastarji’s wife (Neha Joshi) suddenly comes to his school and threatens him to divorce. Finally, when they notice the poster on a bus off neighbouring Takali village, the trio realises the matter.

How the careless and clumsy attitude of Health Department tarnishes the image of three simple living villagers, how their lives are affected and how they fight against the injustice, is superbly depicted in the film. Finally, the Chief Minister (Shreyas Talapade) very delicately untangles this mess.

All the actors have played their roles very convincingly. Director Sameer Patil has presented all the scenes in such a way that that the film has turned out to be a super duper comedy. Music of the film composed by Leslie Lewis matches well with the tempo of the film. The brief appearances of celebrities has been used well in this film. The movie is successful in giving a good message.

‘Poshter Boyz’ is an entertaining and hilarious film with all the potentials to pull the audience to the theatre. Just like popular Hindi movies ‘Jane Bhi Do Yaro’ or ‘Hera Pheri’, you would like to watch the film again and again. A must watch Film !
