Navra Maza Navsacha 2

Movie Review: Navra majha navsacha 2 screening in cinema halls near you!!

A sequel to the 2005 film with the same name , this Sachin Pilgaonkar, Ashok Saraf film had raised high expectations . Here's my review....

A major difference in the film is that , it is a train journey as opposed to the bus journey in the original.

This time around Vacky's ( Sachin) son-in-law, Lamby(Swapnil Joshi ), supposedly an atheist is convinced by his fiancee Shraddha ( Hemal Ingale) to fulfil a " Nagda Navas " , toh suddha chaar chaughat.. ( xlation .. stand nude before bappa at the ganpatipule temple in full view of public 😁😁) .. Konitari bappana wachva re 😁😱 .... And how will Lamby pull of this seemingly impossible feat!!

They undertake a train journey this time to Ganpatipule and as usual it has quirky characters like Vaibhav Mangle , Siddharth Jadhav and Ashok Saraf as the TTE this time. There is also a twist in the tale which isn't hard to guess .

The first half is pure fun with great on screen chemistry between Swapnil Joshi, Sachin and Supriya Pilgaonkar. Grt stuff that raises ur expectations big time .

However the train journey which was supposed to be the main part of the film begins only in the second half. Ashok Saraf looks tired and his role isn't half as good as it was in the original. Many of the jokes are cliched and outright buffoonery which fail to invoke genuine laughter!! And there is a Chinese guy named " Randy Cha".. marathi main iska matlab jaan lo 😁... Eating fried cockroaches .. come on guys .. what do u want to do .. stir up a war with China !!

Some jokes are decent but pitifully less.

The ending shows an uncomfortable Swapnil Joshi stripping before bappa ... I don't want to body shame anyone .. but the guy looks grossly out of shape (wake up call buddy)😭!!

Some things that will appeal to the marathi audiences are a liberal dose of Ganesh aarati's scattered throughout the film & some tear-jerker moments which r a hallmark of Marathi cinema.

The film may still do well despite the flaws above .. but for me it did not live up to the hype created !! I expected more from Sachin !!

Going with 2.5/5 for this one .. Adios🙂!!
