When a person retires from his job, for him his provident fund and all the dues from his employer are like his lifetime savings. What, if he finds the entire amount deposited by his employer into his bank account, withdrawn by someone else fraudulently ? Writer director Girish Jayant Joshi presents one such theme, when the lead character of the film Avinash ( Sachin Khedekar) goes through a similar shocking experience.

Avinash is a married man around 50 years of age , who lives with his wife Asavari( Iravati Harshe) a freelance counsellor and daughter Sanica ( Parna Pethe) a final year college student, happily in his well designed house. His son is in USA for higher studies. Avinash takes voluntary retirement from his well paying job, as his company asks him to undergo training to learn new technology. Not very conversant with mobile and internet application, he wants to stay away from such technological up gradation. However his daughter is more familiar with laptop/ mobile operations to stay updated on the social networking with regular chats with new friends.

One fine day, it is this contrast between father and daughter lands both of them into trouble. But, on his wife’s advice Avinash understands the situation and taking his daughter into confidence and after consulting his close friend Mohan( Vidyadhar Joshi) seeks the help of Cyber Crime Police Officer Pawar ( Mahesh Manjrekar) to trace the fraudster, who is on the run with different names like Badri/Gautam/Sagar /Satish ( Adinath Kothare) .

It is not that easy to present a film on this subject, but writer – director Girish Jayant Joshi has done a good job on his debut. Till interval, he has generated a lot of interest to keep the audience glued to their seats. But, in post interval session and especially in the concluding part he has nothing much to offer, as things happen as expected in the climax. However, the film’s story has shown the clever modus operandi of the fraudsters to make quick money, by targeting the people who can easily fall prey into their net. At the same time, the film has also cautioned the people to take care about their online banking transactions by maintaining secrecy and preserving important documents under lock and key.

Music in this film has been used just to meet the requirement of the screenplay, but Arjun Soprte’s cinematography is appealing. Best performances come from all the four important artistes like Sachin Khedekar, Irawati Harshe, Parna Pethe and Adinath Kothare. They find good support from Vidyadhar Joshi, Sulekha Talwalkar and Sanskriti Balgude who have limited roles to their share. Mahesh Manjrekar and Jaywant Wadkar have displayed some humour through their characters of Police officials investigating the case. Director Girish jayant Joshi has been able to deliver what he actually wanted to offer the Marathi audience. Certainly a worth watch film, if you want to keep such fraudsters away from you.
