Presenting comedy, through a film’s screenplay is not an easy task. Every director has his or her own ideas, when it comes to entertaining the audience non stop. Milind Arun kawade, is one such director in Marathi, who prefers to play safe, by presenting the ‘set formula’ of comedy films, every time. He tried the same in ‘Yedyanchi Jatra’ and in ‘4 idiots’. Surprisingly, such films are enjoyed by section of audience, who watch them, keeping their logical thinking aside. Now, through his new film ‘Just Gammat’, Milind Arun Kawade presents one such plot, to generate non stop humour.

Mohan (Sanjay Narvekar) and Ashok( Jitendra Joshi) are close childhood friends, who meet after many years, at a Pub. After exchanging pleasantries while consuming drinks, when they finally discuss the topic of their wives, both voice their feelings about the humiliation suffered by them. So, they chalk out a plan to get rid of them.  Mohan goes on a mission to kill Ashok’s wife Ashwini( Aditi Sarangdhar) , while Ashok enters Mohan’s house to eliminate Meera( Smita Gondkar).

Both Mohan and Ashok fail in their plan, as the writer director has other plans to introduce more characters to carry forward his film’s screenplay, with some humor filled sequences. So, we notice arrival of a mighty gangster (Deepak Shirke) always surrounded by his ruffians. He in turn deputes his hired assistants ( Vijay Patkar & Aarti Solanki) on the look out for the missing costly ornament. Then ,there is landlord style of Ashwini’s father, who with the help of his servants, is after the blood of Ashok, who according to him, has attempted to kill his daughter. Finally, it’s happy end in the climax, removing all misunderstandings.

In this film, it is only Sanjay Narvekar, who scores, with his natural performance. Unfortunately, he doesn’t get the required support from his co star Jitendra Joshi, who is not up to the mark. One expected Jitendra to do better than his previous wonderful performance in ‘Premasathi Coming Soon’. Was his performance overshadowed by Sanjay’s natural act? Anyway, talking about the two leading ladies in the film, Smita Gondkar finds a role most suited to display her fit and slim looks. Not much was expected from her, as her character was limited to display of glamour only. Even Aditi Sarangdhar doesn’t find much scope in this film, except for representing as Jitendra’s wife in the film.

Required support comes from character artistes like Vijay Patkar, Jaywant Wadkar, Aarti Solanki, Arun Kadam, Atul Todankar, Deepak Shirke and others. Heena Panchal presents one typical item song. The director seems to have given complete freedom to the artistes. But, he should have paid more attention on the dialogues . Anyway, if you are yet to recover from the dismal performance of Indian Cricket team in semi finals of World Cup, this film can help you to recover to a certain extent, provided, you keep aside logical thinking.
