I've watched hundreds of Thrillers, handful number of Thrilcoms and I've always wished that such movies should be made in Marathi too. Thankfully my wish has come true and we have got a movie that shouldn't be missed. This is an original movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat and makes you laugh hard at the subtle dark comedy in it. Funny thing is you even wonder how can I be laughing at such situations but you can't help.

The length of Valvi is just 1 hour 46 minutes, with no songs, no futile romance and no nonsense. It's fast paced. The script is tight and engaging. The dialogues are witty and on point. Direction is smart. I am a big fan of Paresh Mokashi and I've loved his work since I watched his play 'Mukkampost Bombilwadi' which happens to be my most favourite. He has good experience with comedy but I was surprised to see his hand at Thrillers. I don't like to compare as such, but I can call him Marathi industry's Shriram Raghavan.

As far as acting is concerned I think all actors have done their job superbly. I'm not a big fan of Swwapnil Joshi, but I loved his acting in this movie. He should actually be utilised for such unconventional roles. Shivani Surve has done a great job too. So has Subodh and Anita Date.

Overall this is one Marathi movie that you should not miss. Especially the people who love Thrillers.

Won't say anything about the title of my review. One should watch the movie to get it.

Very nicely written, directed, enacted and videographed. A murder mystery that keeps the audience engaged and the moment we lose focus the movie picks the pace again. So at no point in time the audience is losing attention.

A very simple story is made interesting with a presentation. All jokes that come out of the situations and frustration and all other emotions are subtle and never felt out of the line.

And to top it off the climax, just when you think what the end could be the unexpected things happen and the audience is stunned and leaves the theatre laughing. I have never seen any movies and the audience laughs at murder scenes.

I watched Vaalvi in theatre and yes the experience was fantastic.

1. Intellectual Script and Superb Direction by Paresh Mokashi 2. Perfect characters played by Swapnil Joshi, Subodh Bhave, Anita Daate, Shivani Surve, Namrata Sambherao.

3. Laughing riot in a suspense thriller movie. Standing ovation to writer for this.

4. Why the name Vaalvi? For that I give a bow to the director.

5. There is no single moment that is not taking the story ahead. Movie keeps moving ahead every second.

6. Last but not the least, an unpredictable ending.

7. Huge thanks to Zee Studios and Paresh Mokashi for taking Marathi Movies to next level.

The dark comedy film 'VAALVI' is a hilarious, deliciously twisted and thought-provoking masterpiece. The script is razor-sharp and the performances by the cast are top-notch, particularly the lead actors who perfectly capture the nuances of the complex and morally ambiguous characters. The film expertly balances humor and thrill to create a unique and unforgettable viewing experience. It keeps you on edge of the seat throughout. It's not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the ride, 'VAALVI' is a must-see film that will have you questioning your own morality long after the credits roll.

A must watch movie from the brilliant director Paresh Mokashi. The movie is as brilliant as his previous directions Elizabeth ekadashi and Harishchandrachi factory. It's a Marathi-language suspense thriller+comedy with a beyond imagination ending. Gr8 acting from Swapnil Joshi, Anita Date, Subodh Bhave and Shivani Surve with brilliant comedic timing. Connot fail to remember the funny role by Namrata Sambherao. The first half is just building the story and by the second half you would start to scratch your head thinking of the ending. A perfect name for the movie Vaalvi(termites). You should watch it in the theatres and appreciate the work of the writer, director, actors and everyone involved in making this a Fantastic film.
