Rain always plays spoilsport during a one day cricket match. But, in the new Marathi film titled ‘Dho Dho Pavsatli One day Match’ (D2PODM) the running commentary of the one day match inspires the two main characters to find solution to their problems. Two strangers Vinay Upadhye (Suhas Palshikar) a pensioner and Shekhar Sarpotdar (Shekhar Phadke) – A software Engineer, meet each other by coincidence at a tea stall on a rainy evening and get stranded for 2 and a half hours due to non stop rains. They share their experiences on the backdrop of the one day match commentary going on the radio and also witness the lifestyle of some of the visitors, who pay a visit to this stall during this period.

Director Nitin Kamble has used his creativity to present this sensitive subject while showing the contrast between two generations and passing a social message of understanding true human relations. No wonder, he has cleverly presented the clean image of master blaster Sachin Tendulkar, to connect with his screenplay. Every happening that takes place at the tea stall has some relevance to the main theme of existing human relations and the changes that have taken place with the passage of time.
The theme of the film being an universal subject, the film is likely to appeal international audience and the art film lovers scattered all over India. Looking at the title of the film, one expected this film to be an action packed thriller, but it has turned out to be a simple neat and clean sensible film. With the conclusion of cricket match, with India with the help of Sachin scoring that winning stroke in the last over; the film too ends well with a solution.

Suhas Palshikar as a pensioner does very well in that emotion filled character, who feels lonely at home with his son who is a busy surgeon and daughter-in-law who insists on his joining the home for aged. On the other side, Shekhar Phadke as Shekhar Phadke, Suhas Palshikar
Software Engineer presents a perfect image of today’s youngster from an affluent family, who gets fed up with the daily arguments between his father an IAS officer and mother a college Principal (played by Dr. Vilas Ujawane and Shubhangi Latkar) .

The character played by Vijay Chavan who takes to excessive drinking after the death of his wife plays an effective communicator between Vinay and their common friend who suffers in his own house. Priyanka Yadav who plays the role of Manasi-the girl Shekhar falls in love at first sight, does her job well. Few other artistes in the supporting role including the Tea stall owner and the little boy working in that tea stall are impressive. D2PODM is a well made film for those who love to watch technically well presented artistic films.
