  • Genres: Suspense, Drama
  • Studio / Presenter: Zee Marathi
  • Producer: Badaam Raja Productions
  • Writer: Neeraj Shiwaikar
  • Director: Vijay Kenkre

  • Drama Review by: Ulhas Shirke

Known for his suspense filled films Sir Alfred Hitchcock was popular as “the Master of Suspense” during 40s and 50s in Hollywood. One of his films of 1954 was ‘Dial M for Murder’,  when he experimented to create an impact of a murder mystery. Now, on Marathi stage, we find an adaptation of this film’s subject in the latest Marathi play ‘A Perfect Murder’ which almost goes on the lines of Hitchcock pattern.

So, instead of an ex-English professional tennis player we find the lead actor playing an ex cricketer Niranjan (Pushkar Shrotri) married to a socialite wealthy lady Meera(Shweta Pendse) who has had an affair with a crime-fiction writer (Abhijit kelkar). One day Niranjan discovers his wife’s affair and decides to murder her for revenge and to grab her property . He prepares a plan and involves an old acquaintance from his college days, (Subodh Pande) . Being aware of the secrets of this old friend, he traps him into the plan of murdering Meera.

How he faces trouble and how he tries to mislead the investigation by special police officer (Satish Rajwade) has been systematically presented in the second half of this mystery filled play by director Vijay Kenkre. Though the beginning scene of the play generates a lot of interest , it does take some time to pick up . However, towards the end of first half and the entire second half keeps the audience engaged to this mystery filled subject. One expected some more interesting happenings in the first part and writer Neeraj Shiwaikar should have worked more harder . Nevertheless, his efforts are noteworthy.

Another plus point of this play are the fine performances of lead artistes but the finest among them is Pushkar Shrotri who has ample scope to display his acting skills with suitable dialogues to his share. Background music and light effects are impressive. Certainly a worth watch play for all those who love mystery filled subjects.
