Latest released suspense filled Marathi drama ‘Subhedar Guest House’  (सुभेदार गेस्ट हाऊस) is set against the backdrop of a murder, which takes place in Kolhapur. And, we notice a group of strangers arriving in a guest house at Panhala (the same rainy evening); which is just 30 kms away from Kolhapur.

So, we find the guest house ownersVinay ( Saurabh Gokhale) and Chitra ( Mrunmayee Gondalekar) welcoming their guests, one by one comprising of five different characters played by Angad Mhaskar, Vinita Date, Sana Kulkarni, Rohit Deshmukh and Anand Patil. Thereafter, we see the arrival of a Police officer Bhosale, played by Shantanu Moghe, at this venue.

When the Police Officer starts his investigation, he clearly indicates that all seven characters present in the guest house ( including the owners) will be questioned and they will have to prove themselves not guilty. On the same night, another murder takes place in the guest house and director Vijay Kenkre, calls for interval.

In the post interval stage, the audience becomes curious to know, who is the culprit?   And with few twists and turns, we find this play reaching at an interesting stage of climax; which suprises almost everyone.

The most interesting part of this play is its clever presentation, which is based on Agatha Christie’s popular original murder mystery play ‘The Mouse Trap’. Moreover, Sandesh Bendre’s wonderful set design, Sheetal Talpade’s superb light effects, Mangal Kenkre’s perfect costumes and Ajit Parab‘s suitable music, has helped to create that desired impact on the audience. However, without the superb performances of the artistes, it would not have been possible to hold the audience to their seats from start to finish.

Two characters, namely Inspector Bhosale (Shantanu Moghe) and Amit Desai( Angad Mhaskar) find enough scope to display their acting skills with the help of their rich voice and perfect body language respectively. ‘Subhedar Guest House’ is certainly a worth watch play for all those who love to watch plays with action filled murder mystery.
