Ravi Jadhav who directed Marathi films like ‘Natarang’, ‘Balgandharv’, ‘Balak Palak’, ‘Time Pass 1  & 2′, ‘Bioscope’, ‘Banjo’ and ‘Nude’ is back again with his latest offering in the form of ‘Rampaat’.  Through this film,  Ravi Jadhav attempts something different in the form of a dream seller which is mixed with emotions. We are all aware that Mumbai has become a main attraction for many aspiring youngsters who come to this place to make a career in acting. Some come with the support of their family, while others just run away from their house to try their luck.

‘Rampaat’ presents the struggle faced by two such youngsters Mithun ( Abhinay Berde) from Solapur and Vijaya alias Munni ( Kashmira Pardeshi) who leave their respective homes with big hopes to try their luck in the tinsel world of Mumbai. Though Mithun comes with the blessings of his mother, Munni flees against her Wrestler father’s wish, who wants his daughter to turn a wrestler. Both meet during audition and face the first worst experience . Dejected, they come across a stranger Fatafat (Kushal Badrike) who turns a good Samaritan for both the youngsters. But, that’s not enough for them, as much is expected from them in this good-bad world of entertainment.

How they face this struggle period and how they find their way towards success, is what director Ravi Jadhav has tried to show through this film. In the process, he has certainly extracted the best from the young lead pair and they too have responded with commitment. For Model turned actress Kashmira this has turned out to be a good debut in Marathi. Even those in the supporting cast, like Priya Berde as Mithun’s mother and Abhijit Chavan as Munni’s father, Kushal Badrike in the role of Fatafat have lent good support. There are many more, who have obliged through their short special appearance. But, is that all enough to present a quality film? And the answer is, ‘to a certain extent, Yes’. The music is just fine but costume designing is good.

But, there was much more expected from director like Ravi Jadhav, who has however limited his idea to show only the reality i.e. ‘All that glitters is not Gold’. But, he delivers a very good message in concluding part, i.e. ’What the Nature has given, we need to reciprocate.’
