Lai Bhaari

Riteish Deshmukh and Nishikant Kamaat duo rocks!! This honest attempt to improve production quality of Marathi cinema is definitely successful. It is a typical 'Masala movie', but far much better than some of recent nonsense Hindi Masala films.

Riteish Deshmukh delivers one of his finest performances till date. He acts with ease and fights with fury. The 'mass-appealing dialogues are written brilliantly. There are many 'clap and whistle' moments in the film. Sharad Kelkar as villain is also very impressive and you actually hate him while watching the movie, which rarely happens in Marathi cinema. The story revolves around God Vithhala and city Pandharpur which is appealing to rural audience as well.

There is a very fine emotional touch to the plot. Nishikant Kamat has executed a simple script extraordinarily. Other supporting actors have done their job pretty well. Some songs could have been skipped to keep the script tight.

In a nutshell, good performances, good background music and very good execution of a simple story. I think the second half is better than the first, but the first half is equally important. Check it out if you appreciate changing trend of Marathi cinema, it will give you 'Lai Bhari' feel !!
