Timepass had certain freshness in the way it narrated the story and captured the Mumbai milieu of the 90’s. After being separated in the first film, the sequel sees the estranged couple attempting to reunite.
NEW MARATHI MOVIES TIMEPASS MOVIE
And thus, Ravi Jadhav is back with the sequel Timepass 2, a year later after the original was made.Įxpectedly the sequel picks from where the first movie left with Prajakta and Dagdu growing up to be Priya Bapat and Priyadarshan Jadhav respectively. Given the immense success, popularity & the open ending of the film, it was evident that a sequel of the film would soon be made. One such film was director Ravi Jadhav’s Timepass featuring Prathamesh Parab and Ketaki Mategaonkar in the lead roles. Due to the hype and a great opening, the film will succeed at the box office.The last few years has seen Marathi cinema churn adolescent love stories with an amazing regularity. Overall: Despite a whole lot of funny moments, Timepass doesn’t rise up to the expectations. Although Bhushan Pradhan has a narrow screen time, he is decent as Prajakta’s brother and so are the rest of the supporting actors. Vaibhav Mangale is brilliant as Prajakta’s angry father! He too shines in the comic scenes.īhalchandra Kadam does well in the role of Dagadu’s father. Mategaonkar too is notable while playing a shy character. Parab is once again very impressive as Dagdu. A dream sequence between the lead pair should have surely been shortened.Īlthough Prathamesh Parab and Ketaki Mategaonkar repeat their performances from Balak Palak and Shala, it is a joy to see them perform. The length of 142 minutes is too high for the film. The editor should have used his scissors more.
The camerawork and background score suit the subject perfectly. You just feel watching Shala or Balak Palak again is a much better option.įrom Chinar-Mahesh’s music, ‘Fulpakharu’ and ‘Mala Ved Laagle’ are impressive tracks. Even if we ignore that moment, the pre-climax and climax don’t satisfy. Later on, an illogical self-destructive incident involving a character (not possible to reveal much) just takes away much of your interest.
This is felt more because there isn’t any major development in the story. Dagadu’s scenes with his friends and Prajakta’s cuteness at various occasions also deserve special mention.īut in the post-interval portions, Dagdu’s antics start becoming too repetitive. As he goes about trying to win Prajakta’s heart, the audience is treated to a laugh-riot, especially in the first half. The high point of Timepass is obviously the character Dagdu and his crazy antics, born out of his funny act and witty dialogues.
This comes as an unpleasant surprise since there are high expectations from the film, which is seen from the tremendous opening it has taken in the first weekend. In the end, it turns out to be just a poor remake of Shala. And surely, there is hilarity aplenty in Timepass.īut the basic aim of every movie is to tell a story and this is where it falters. One won’t mind this if the film turns out to be enjoyable. Review: The two main characters in Ravi Jadhav’s Timepass are just repeated from two successful films – the guy from his own Balak Palak and the girl from Sujay Dahake’s Shala. Will Dagadu succeed in the very first love story of his life? But Prajakta’s father hates Dagadu to the core after an ugly encounter with him. Just then, Dagadu’s eyes fall on the innocent Prajakta (Ketaki Mategaonkar) and he falls head over heels for her. Meanwhile, his friends urge him to get a girlfriend as they believe such ‘time pass’ is a must in life.
To support himself, he becomes a newspaper boy. Story Outline: Dagadu (Prathamesh Parab) is thrown out of the house by his angry father after he fails in the 10 th standard yet again. Cast: Prathamesh Parab, Ketaki Mategaonkar, Vaibhav Mangale, Bhalchandra Kadam
