Story:-

The entire story is on the wildlife section of India. It starts with the two UK people entering in some forest in the midnight time in the hunt of the Tiger. All of sudden they both are killed in a deadly way by the tiger. This incident follows with some horrifying incidents in some orbit national park. This news spreads all over the media. This lets the National Geographic Channel to send their representative Krish(John Abraham) to the Orbit national park to find out the cause. They are suddenly accompanied by the group of careless youngsters Vivek Oberoi(Dev); Vishal Malhotra(Vishal) and Riya(Esha Deol) and Lara Datta( Ishika). They meet coincidently in the forest and they join together in the forest ride.

These youngsters are on the way to shoot the same animal and Krish is on the way to find out the cause of horrifying news. They begin to face suspicious incidents. One of the guide who is accompanied to them is killed suddenly. This incident follows with the other killing of the Vishal. This makes Dev and Krish suspicious. They meet  Kaali( Ajay Devgan) on the way in the jungle. He tries to teach the forest disciplines to all of them but no one listens. Later on, they again continue to face the horrifying incidents which later takes the biggest twist at the end of the movie.

''Save the forest and try to maintain the discipline in the forest'' is the message which director tries to give strongly from the film. The entire environment of the world is balanced and maintained by the forest. Cutting the entire forest trees; killing the animals will strongly affect the ecological balance of the earth. It will also affect the wildlife especially the Tiger who is on the way to finish off from India. If this continues the future generation will see the tiger and jungle only in the books. If we behave properly with nature and animals; we will be treated the same by them. In case we enter in the forest and wildlife with the materialistic aim we will be punished by nature and animals. We should keep wildlife and forest resources as it is; for the long run.

Entirely shooting is been done in the Jim Corbet Forest. We see the splendid and blissful forest wildlife while watching the film. We feel the forest silence and sound of the animals in the movie. Some deadly scenes and roaring scare us.

Ajay Devgan:- He is wonderful…He is hidden diamond….

Vivek Oberoi:- He is too good.

John Abraham:- He is ok since it was his early phase of acting

Lara Datta and Esha Deol:- OKOK

Music from the movie kicks you and scares you till the end especially song “ Is Kaal Kaal Main Hum Kare Dhammal”

Rating:- Excellent

Story:-

It has six short stories in it. It begins with a journey of 6 six friends travelling for vacation. They get stuck on the unknown road in the night. They find the shelter in some mysterious place cum house at night. They get settle together at that place around night. Their one friend is sitting ideally in a car waiting for the other vehicle for the help. Six friends are sitting together in the car they began to amuse each other with the supernatural and haunted stories and the film begins.

The first story is on the way. One couple is driving at night. At the sudden moment, their car gets stopped in the middle of the road. She sits in the car and he drops down and the story begins….

The second story is about the no-smoking. One fashion photographer is driving in the evening. He visits the hotel on the highway. That Hotel is different from the others. There is not a single staff working in the hotel. Hotel is handled by  the 60 year old man. Fashion photographer visits the hotel and he checks in the room. He notices the board no-smoking. Suddenly he gets alert from the 60-year-old man who comes in his room and he grabs his smoking packet. That fashion photographer argues with the 60-year-old man for the smoking but he stops him and he keeps on telling him about the smoking habit. Angry photographer leaves the hotel at the night but an old man stops him at the entrance and blocks him. Here the story begins.

The third story is about homework.

The fourth story is about the mystery about the apple.

The fifth story is about the man who is driving the road at night. He meets the 65-year-old man on the road. He asks for life and both of them travel together. Here the story begins as driving man is someone else.

The last story is about a boy who is 30 years old.  He has the power to stop the man and the things at the place and move them as per his wish. This story proceeds further until we see the other biggest twist.

This is one of the brilliant attempts in the Indian Cinema for its direction and script and acting performances especially by Vivek Oberoi and Nana. We don’t see the typical story and the flow in this film. This film completely succeeds in pinching the fear in the mind of the audiences. All the six stories and script are strong enough to spread the fear in the audience's mind and the word “ Darna Mana Hai”

Ramgopal Varma…Plz, come back with this kind of master films.

Film Review:-  Dombivli Fast

Release Year:-2005

Total Timing:-115 Min

Star Cast:-

·         Sandeep Kulkarni in as Madhav Apte

·         Shilpa Tulaskar  as Sandeep Kulkarni’s wife

·         Sandesh Jadhav in as Insp. Subhash

·         Srusti in as Madhav Apte’s daughter.

·         Ashvini Apte

·         Shashant Bawkar

Story:- It is the story of the middle-class man Madhav Apte. He is the man who is living his life with his family in a normal way. He is a bank employee. He is a straight forward a person who follows the simple paths of truths. He is a law obedient and honest citizen of the country. He keeps on noticing some unavoidable things in his daily life. He watches many people who are breaking the law and making money. He wishes everyone should follow the law and live their life. But things get changed after a while. He gets frustrated with the injustice and corruption which is filled in his daily life. This causes his mental harassment. Being frustrated with the continuous negativity and injustice around his day to day life he gets ignited and agitated. He turns into a violent man who didn’t even think of violence in his life. His changing attitude causes trouble in his family. He starts arguing and later on this argument turns into a physical fight. His mental breakdown causes many curious cases against him which changes his life forever.

The story focuses on the harsh realities that are been faced by the common man in his daily life. At the corner of the point, we see everyone is frustrated and irritated with the daily unjustified things and illegal things. Our daily life is filled with the non-other than a small war kind of a thing. We run to our life living our family behind. Our family keeps on caring in the home. They keep on calling again with the caring questions. In this war kind of life, we see many illegal proceedings. We see the illegal man and power is getting bigger and the man who follows a law is thrown at the corner of the road. But we are busy living in our daily life hence we don’t react to such situations. We tend to adjust to these situations since we want to live with our family. We see many odd; illegal; corrupted things in daily life. But we don’t dare to speak against it since we have been told since childhood that such things are controlled by the money man people and the politicians. Although this thing is the true fact that we want to live a life where straight forward man is been given respect; all the illegal things and the corrupted things are been stopped forever.

Story and screenplay is a masterpiece written by Mr.Nishikant Kamat.   The Story is the USP of the film. He has focused on the life of the common man. Also, he has focused on the life of the man who gets ignited and fights with all illegal powers which change his life forever.

Each and every actor is not just an actor but they have embedded in the role.

3 cheers to all the actors of the film especially Sandeep Kulkarni.

This film pinches the heart.

Never miss it

·         Siddharth Ray as Shantanu Mane

·         Nivedita Joshi as Sushama
·         Nayantara as Lilabai
·         Viju khote as Bali
·         Sudhir Joshi as Vishwas Sarpotdar
 

Story:

 The story is about 4 brothers. Elder brother Dhananjay (Ashok Saraf) is working as a salesman in the cosmetic store in the Pune city.  He is living on the rent at the Landlord Vishvas Sarpotdar( Sudhir Joshi’s) place.  He is a strict landlord who doesn’t allow many people to visit his rented places. Dhananjay Mane is joined by his brother Shantanu. Despite the warning and the strict rules of the Vishwas Sarpotdar, Dhananjay and his brother allow his friend Parshuram and Sudhir to stay at his place. They continue to stay together in smart ways. But they 4 are caught by the Vishvas Sarpotdar and they are kicked out of the rented home. Dhananjay Mane starts searching for the new home. In the search, he finds one bungalow where 70-year-old women are staying. But she puts a condition to Dhananjay that she wants to give the Bungalow on rent to married people but not to the bachelors.  In order to satisfy the conditions of the 70-year lady, Dhananjay and his brother convince Parshuram and Sudhir to live as their wife. They come to live in the bungalow and fun begins.  

This movie is one of the epic blockbusters in the Marathi film industry. What it doesn’t have? Though it is a remake it is a full furnished movie in terms of the acting and timing and the script and story. It has even blockbuster songs. It is a big tribute to the theatre artist BAL Gandharv.

Ashok Saraf:- He is the king of the timing and expressions. He plays the role of a perfect salesman who works in the women’s Shop. No one can even match his comic sense and timing. He gets better with every movie in his acting skills. His dialogues in the film are even been watched with the intense comic humour. In one word he is the master in the acting.

Laxmikant Berde:- Who can forget this man? He is one of the best comedian and actor blessed in Maharashtra. He has a natural acting ability which cannot be thought in any school. He plays the role of Ashok Saraf’s Wife. In terms of acting, he is the Giant and Ashok Saraf is the master. No one can match their changing expression in the same scenes. The scene where Laxmikant Berde suddenly enters in the room of Dhananjay and he asks the Question,’’ Dhananjay Mane ithech Rahatat ka” is the milestone scene in the Marathi film industry.

Sachin Pilgaokar:

Ashok Saraf is master in acting; Laxmikant Berde is giant in acting, and he is the road-runner in the direction;acting. He can do anything in a wise way in his style. He doesn’t get flew with the Ashok Saraf and Laksha’s Acting.

Nivedita:- She is Ok

Sudhir Joshi:- He is the  best who plays the character of a typical man who leaves in the Sadashiv Peth in Pune.

Ashivini bhave:- She is elegant.

Siddharth Ray:- He is Ok

Priya Arun:- She is best.

So... I won't do much deep. Purchase the movie and don’t miss the fun of one of the biggest blockbuster in the Marathi industry.
