Produced by Ajay Vichare, written by Niraj Shivaikar, directed by Vijay kenkre, new Marathi play ‘Don Vajun Bavis Minitanni (दोन  वाजुन बावीस मिनिटानी)’ offers a good horror comedy filled suspense drama, which revolves around a big house located at a hill station, Panchgani.

Ketan (Aniket Vishwasrao) and Ritika (Gautami Deshpande) after the birth of their baby move from Mumbai to this old house in Panchgani, as Ketan wants to settle down at a new quiet place with a bigger space. They buy this big house from an old lady. Ketan renovates this new house by changing many original things and leaves for Himachal Pradesh on an excursion trip, leaving behind Ritika and the baby. After his return, Ritika invites Ketan’s old friend Sonali (Rasika Sunil) a psychologist and her husband (Priyadarshan Jadhav) who is into house décor business.

When all four of them are together for drinks & dinner, Rutika reveals to her guests that their new house is haunted. Ketan rules out Rutika’s belief and tries to persuade all of them. But, Rutika suggests her guests to stay overnight and experience the strange happenings at a particular time, during midnight; i.e. at 2 hours 22 minutes. After a lot of persuasion Ketan also agrees and what they experience is seen in the last 20 minutes climax of this play.

But, from start till this climax begins, director Vijay Kenkre has given full justice to this suspense filled story of writer Shivaikar, by incorporating interesting happennings to keep the audience engaged in this suspense filled story. Every character is developed very well, offering them enough scope for their acting skills. But, the actor who generates more laughter through his simple dialogues, is Priyadarshan Jadhav. His has used the village dialect very well, maintaining a perfect timing, that too with ease, in every important situation.

Besides wonderful realistic performances coming from all the four characters, the technical team offers very good support. Suitable set designing by Shital Talpade and sound effects by experts engaged, makes this play more presentable. The digital clock openly visible on the front wall of the set, clearly indicates the time of happening of every important sequence in this suspense filled drama. In fact, the opening scene of this drama itself invites all the attention of the audience. Only shortcoming noticed was that the audience seated on the right corners of the auditorium were denied the sight of the staircase, which also plays an important role in this drama. Surely, the set designer will look into this aspect, during the next shows.

All in all, ‘Don Vajun Bavis Minitanni’ is a good entertainer for all those who love to watch suspense and horror filled plays. Dialogues are well written and go very well with every situation. Thanks to the makers for presenting this wonderful plot live on stage. And this shows the progress of our Marathi drama presenters , making good use of latest technology .

As Sonali’s parents were available there, the director of the film offered them an opportunity to act in that scene. And both of them agreed to do that scene willingly, as it was with their dear daughter.

Writer& screenplay writer Upendra Sidhye who shot into fame after receiving Filmfare & Cine Blitz awards for best screenplay for the film ‘Mumbai Meri Jaan’ has now turned writer and director into Marathi with his latest release ‘Girlfriend’. So, being a writer himself, he has systematically developed the screenplay of this film on the backdrop of his own Pune city and using the social media very well, to target the young audience.

Through ‘Girlfriend’ Upendra presents the story of a simple and nice young man Nachiket Pradhan( Amey Wagh) a boy next door, who resembles the looks of Amol Palekar of 70s. Being simple, he has kept himself away from girlfriends. But, that comes in the way of his promotion in office and also spending time with his childhood friends, who are already in relationship. Being a graphic designer himself and active on social media, he prepares a fraudulent fb account by lifting a photo of Payal Mehta( Sai Tamhankar) and naming her as Alisha Narvekar to pose his girlfriend. What happens thereafter is a humour filled screenplay, which entertains especially the young audience.

The office and home atmosphere of Nachiket has been nicely created. Initially moving at a slow pace, the film does pick up little before the interval showing many interesting happenings in Nachiket’s life. His birthday coinciding with Valentines’ day has also been presented well to show his helplessness to find a girlfriend. The entry of Sai Tamhankar has been used well in the screenplay just before the interval. However, showing her in the narrative through a song sequence little before that has spoiled the show.

What keeps the audience engaged post interval is its Spanish connection through the character of Sai Tamhankar . Both Amey and Sai have offered variety through their respective performances, but without the support of other artistes in this film , they would not have been able to offer their best. Thanks to Yatin karyekar, Kavita Lad who play his supportive modern day parents and many other artistes who have played his close friends and office colleagues in the film. Prominent among them is popular TV star Rasika Sunil, who has impressed the most. Unfortunately, this talented actress hasn’t been used much to tap her potential. She is certainly worth considering for lead roles in Marathi films.

Other positive aspects of this film are, the music and background music by Hrishkesh , Saurabh & Jasraj , who have combined well to offer musical entertainment and nice photography of Milind Jog. All in all, ‘Girlfriend’ is an entertaining film which may draw more young audience to cinema halls.
