Kaul Manacha Movie Review:
Raj (Ashutosh Gaikwad) is a Bollywood addict. He has inherited this filmy legacy from his father. Studying in boarding school, Raj gets blown away by his teacher Miss Hema(Amruta Patki). He lives the romantic dream by imagining her in chiffon sarees on a beautiful romantic number (Man Manjiri) Raj then recreates the romance with his contemporary Ritika (Girija Prabhu) – a new entrant in the school.
The first half throws glimpses of anti-hero shades to the character. The second half grows on you as the film makes some essential points without being moralising.
Kaul Manacha, writen by actress Shweta Pendse, uses good flashback technique while correlating story and this avoids the monotonousness of the film. ‘Asa Sasar Surekh Bai’ actress Shweta Pendse deserve the credit for good narration. She has also performed in the film.
Highlight of the film are the lead kids Ashutosh and Girija, who deliver enduring performances. Interesting contributions are chipped in by Rajesh Shringapure and Kamlesh Sawant. Manasi Moghe, Shweta Pandse and Vijay Gokhale have played their character nicely.
The photography, editing, screenplay and other technical elements are okay. Couple of songs are well worth a listen and add a much needed zing to the story-line.
Overall
Kaul Manacha is good and enjoyable. The second half is entertaiing. Go in with zero expectations to enjoy the film.
