Produced by Aniket Vinayak Karanjkar and co produced by Sanjay Laxmanrao Yadav the forthcoming Marathi film ‘Alipt’ is now ready for release. This suspense filled film is directed by Manoj Sudhakar Yerunkar. Highlight of this film is that actor Swapnil Prakash Jadhav whom we earlier saw in lead role in the film ‘Aik’, has himself written the story , screenplay and dialogues of this film, but is also playing the lead role opposite Tanvi Hegade.
Besides Swapnil and Tanvi the other artistes of this film are, Sharyu Sonawane, Bhushana Ghadi, Sunil Dev, and Sushant Shelar in the main roles. Aniket Karanjkar is the DOP while Choreography is by Dilip Mestry. Art direction by Mahendra Shiv Mangal and Appa Raut , Editing by Harshad Vaithi , sound by Appa Tarkar and Makeup is by Abhay Mohite and Pratibha are the other credits.

‘Aik-2′ will be a hard core horror film with a logic used in the story – Swapnil Jadhav
Swapnil Jadhav who made his debut as an actor through a horror film ‘Aik’, is now making the sequel of this film ‘Aik 2′ , for which he has himself written the story. Unlike the previous film, which was directed by Pratik kadam, the sequel will be directed by Manoj Yerunkar. At present Swapnil has completed 50% shooting of this film, which according to him, will meet all the requirements of horror film lovers. In Marathi, we have very few filmmakers, who sincerely work on meeting the expectations of such audience. Swapnil Jadhav is one of them.
When MarathiMovieWorld spoke to Swapnil about the improvisations he has made in this sequel, he said, “This sequel will be more gripping, as we have paid more attention on camera work. For any horror film, to create a better impact, camera work plays an important role. Some of our scenes in the film shot till now, have been captured with three or four cameras from different angles and they continue for 3 to 4 minutes at a stretch. I can assure that from the 10th minute of the film till the end, the film will hold the audience to their seats, with horror filled scenes, following one after the other.”
What we gathered from Swapnil was that he and his team have worked very hard on technical aspects of the film and hence the post production work will be a hard task. “The sequel will be a hard core horror film, with a story, which has a logic. After all, you have to offer the audience the content, which would convince them.” he added.
In the previous film, along with Swapnil, there was Aditi Sarangdhar as his co star, with Prasad Oak and Chinmay Mandlekar playing supporting roles. But, in the sequel being made under the banner of Matrubhoomi Productions, you will find Tanvi Hegde as his co star, with Sushant Shelar, Sunil Deo, Bhushan Ghadi and Sharayu Sonavane playing the supporting roles. It is expected that after completing this project in next 3 to 4 months, Swapnil will begin work on his new project ‘Bangkok’. By the way, Swapnil was more than happy that someone was taking note of his progress in Marathi Film industry.

Night Shyamalan , Ramsay, Ramgopal Verma and Vikram Bhatt could handle such topics? Today, young director Prateek kadam has proved that a good team work can create something special in Marathi too. The film revolves around Rishi Marathe ( Swapnil Jadhav), a Creative director working in a Marathi Entertainment channel M4U. His family comprises of wife Aditi ( Aditi Sarangdhar) and little son.

The disturbance leads to the point of divorce and Aditi reaches with her son to the shooting venue of Rishi’s novel reality show, which is located 4 to 5 hours drive from Mumbai. The selection of this old palace of British time, has been deliberately selected by the production house, to attract adventure loving participants. When Aditi reaches there, Rishi and his Boss Sandy ( Prasad oak) are already tensed up, as the participants selected for the first live episode, back out at the last stage. The entire unit is now looking for a couple. Rishi persuades Aditi that he would sign the papers of divorce, provided she helps him and participate in the show. Aditi agrees and enters inside the palace.
The rule of the game show is such that the wife is taken inside the palace to a safe room and is made to wait there, till the husband goes in search for her and then returns back along with her, to win the game show. Before Rishi proceeds towards the palace, he is introduced to the audience from the site by the anchor Chinmay Mandlekar. Rishi is provided with microphone to constantly communicate with the anchor, waiting outside the palace and also given a buzzer, which is to be pressed thrice, in case the particiapant wishes to quit.
prasad Oak, Swapnil JadhavWhen Rishi enters the palace, he comes across terrible experiences, including terrifying sounds, indicating presence of someone around. Soon, he comes across more horror filled strange experiences and is about to quit, when he hears the voice of his wife. When he goes in her search, the in house CCTV cameras planted by the production team, capture his reactions. On few occasions, they get confused, as to why Rishi is worried and scared.

In the climax, the film concludes methodically , revealing the mystery.
‘Aik’ is a good effort by director Prateek Kadam. He gets a good support from suitable background Music and efficient camera work, to make every scene effective. The film has been shot at the most ideal location of historical Thiba Palace, situated on a hill top of Ratnagiri town. All the artistes in the film have lend a good support with their natural acting skills. Lead hero Swapnil, who makes his debut, doesn’t look like a new comer. He has played his part very naturally. Aditi Saragdhar has given a wonderful performance. The way she reacts during sensitive scenes, clearly indicate her identity as a complete actress. Prasad Oak and Chinmay Mandlekar play their respective roles with complete authority. Others in the supporting cast have done well. ‘Aik’ is a well presented creepy film, which sticks to what it promised during the ad campaign. Don’t be surprised, if any Bollywood film maker attempts a remake of this film.
