In the trailer, we notice lead actor Amey Wagh and lead actress Vaidehi Parshurami facing the so called Zombies, while they are travelling in a car. They go to the police station and explain the Police officer about their description; but the Policeman is ready to believe him. The Zombies are most commonly found in horror and fantasy genre works in English films. So, in Marathi, this seems to be a new experiment tried by director Aditya Sarpotdar. Along with Amey Wagh and Vaidehi Parshurami the film also stars Lalit Prabhakar, Trupti Khankar and others.

The date of release of this film has been announced as 26th January 2022. So, let us wait and see how Amey Wagh and others succeed in countering these zombies in this film.

Due to lock down shootings of all the Marathi films had come to standstill. But, immediately after the unlock was declared, ‘Zombivali’ was the first Marathi film to begin shooting at places like Mumbai and Latur. Now, with completion of shooting, ‘Zombivali’ will be the first Marathi film to announce its release in theatres. The teaser of this film gives an idea that this film will be a combination of horror and comedy. The film is based on a Zombie who controls a popular part of Suburban Mumbai.

 According to Aditya Sarpotdar, this will be the first big film in Marathi on Zombie, with a new subject. He has appealed to the Marathi film lovers to watch this film in theatres.

At a time with certain restrictions on shootings of films, Marathi film industry seems to have taken up the challenge. Yoodle Films who are making a film ‘Zombivali’ presented by SaRe Ga Ma is being directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, who had earlier directed successful films like ‘Classmates’, ‘Mauli’ and ‘Faster Fene’. Recently, the muhurat of this film was performed with its first poster launch. ‘Zombivli’ which connects with Dombivali known for its Zombie connection, will be a Zom Com film.

So, the film promises Horror Comedy , which is new to Marathi cinema. Shooting of this film will soon begin at Latur and the film stars Youths like Amey Wagh, Lalit Prabhakar and Vaidehi Parshurami in lead roles. The film be targeted on youth viewers. With Lawrence D’Cunha as DOPthe music will be composed by AV Praful Chandra. Sainath Gunwad, Siddhesh Purkar, Mahesh Iyer, Yogesh Joshi have written the story of this film. The makers of this film plan to release this film next year i.e. 2021.

Now, Riteish Deshmukh has attempted one more such formula film packed with action and entertainment in the form of ‘Mauli’. Since this is not a sequel of ‘Lai Bhari‘ you can call this ‘Mauli‘ a distant cousin of Mauli of ‘Lai Bhari‘. This new Mauli ( Riteish Deshmukh) also has his past filled with lot of emotion filled happenings during his childhood, shown in flashback with some scenes picturised on his mother in distress played by actress Girija Oak. That’s how we get introduced to film’s protagonist Mauli a Police Inspector with 6 years of service and having seen 3 transfers. After landing as in charge of a small village in Maharashtra, he comes across a toughest mafia of land, distillery and water tankers- Nana Londhe ( Jitendra Joshi) whose men beat him up during their first meeting. But, soon we find a lot of change within him, with the encouragement received from his lady love from the village Renuka ( Saiyami kher) and a tea vendor Siddharth Jadhav. Time comes when he takes on all those gang members of Nana one by one to establish himself as the new hero of the village.

This is a limited story, but director Aditya Sarpotdar known for his successful films like ‘Classmates‘ and ‘Faster Fene‘ has tried his best to present a formula based action film well suited to his hero Riteish who has tried to offer some variety through his performance . ‘Mauli‘ is totally male dominated film with more fight scenes filled with violence, leaving less time for director Aditya Sarpotdar. Same is the case with lead actress Saiyami Kher, finds limited scenes to display her acting skills. She is however given some importance in the climax. She seems to be a perfect choice for that role. Siddharth Jadhav also finds restricted scenes though he tries to bring in some humour into this film. Among the character artistes Shrikant Yadav, Usha Naik & Girija Oak find some scope to display their skills. Genelia D’souza makes guest appearance in a ‘Holi‘ song as expected, but this time Riteish has not invited any Bollywood stars in guest appearance.

Technically it is a well made film, with good cinematography by Amalendu Choudhary . Drone cameras have been used very well to capture aerial photography. Special effects are almost on par with any big budget Bollywood film. Ajay Atul’s music is good but not as impressive as his previous hit films. Repeated slow motion scenes, predictable happenings (except for one twist before interval), are the few drawbacks of this film. If you keep your logical thinking aside, especially while watching those fight scenes, ‘Mauli‘ offers entertainment filled with lot of action for 2 hours 16 mins.

Detective stories are not new to Hindi Films or television. Even in Marathi few years ago, we saw a film like ‘Pune 52‘, which was based on a detective.  Latest released Marathi film ‘Faster Fene‘ inspired by Late B.R.Bhagwat’s  short stories and developed by Kshitij Patwardhan and directed by Aditya Sarpotdar is a detective story with a difference. It literally takes the audience on a fast track, while uncovering a biggest education scam.

In this film Banesh  Fene( Amey Wagh) a youngster who comes to Pune to appear for Medical Entrance Exam, takes halt at Old Writer Bhagwat ‘s ( Dilip Prabhavalkar) house known to his family and is required  to extend his stay there to detect a biggest education scam. Actually, at the  exam centre Fene comes across another student Dhanesh Lanjekar , who seems to be all prepared for the exams. But, next day, when Fene is about to leave for his home town, he reads a newspaper story about the sad news of Dhanesh committing suicide. Out of curiosity,  he decides to stay back and with his hobby of detecting the strange happenings, starts investigating the cause of Dhanesh’s death.

In his endeavor he finds support from his childhood friend turned trainee journalist Aboli( Parna Pethe), an auto rickshaw driver Ambadas ( Siddharth Jadhav )  and a street child Bhu Bhu ( Shubham More )who is  offered shelter by Mr. Bhagwat. There are many interesting happenings in this film, while Fene encounters the most dangerous middle man involved in the biggest education scam Appa ( Girish Kulkarni ) . Screenplay and dialogue writer Kshitij Patweardhan and director Aditya Sarpotdar have very cleverly succeeded in uncovering the scam with the help of their main character of Fene. What is more appreciating is the subject dealt in this film, which is very timely.

There is no doubt that Amey Wagh who has all round experience of stage, television and films has given his best in the lead role, but Girish Kulkarni as a villain in this film is highly impressive. But, his role has been extended more than required  in the second half of the film, especially in the scene while travelling in a PMT bus. Good support comes from artistes Dilip Prabhavalkar, Siddharth Jadhav, Parna Pethe, Shubham More, Shrikant Yadav and others.  This film does not have a single song, but the background music by Troy Arif is remarkable  and so is the sound design by Pramod Chandorkar and Pranay Pansare. Art Director Nikhil Kovale and photographer Milind Jog have also helped to make this film more presentable. Certainly a worth watch film. Don’t miss it.
