Take Care Good Night

Watched this movie with subtitles on Prime as I don't understand Marathi and really liked it. It is entertaining and enlightening on the realities of cyber crime. . Acting was wonderful too!

TAKE CARE GOOD NIGHT REVIEW :

"Good morning I am calling from so and so co. Congratulations you have won a free voucher/gift, you are the lucky winner Just provide your bank details claim your prize" OR "Hello sir I am calling from Bank, for the Security reasons we need to know your bank details." Basically we all receive such fraud calls and E-Mails and people decline it as far as Illiterate/Techno savvy people are concerned while some not so Techno savvy or desperate people fall for it and later find themselves trapped in a Scam. Take Care Good Night (TCGN) talks on this socially important topic and manages to create awareness for the people who should not fall for it. If you are not a Technology lover, you don't like being Internet freak then at least have some basic knowledge so that this kind of Frauds can't fool you easily.

Story revolves around Avinash (Sachin Khedekar) who has taken a VRS and now wish to spend time with his Family. He is living with wife Aasavari (Iravati Harshe) who is a councillor and his teenage Daughter Sanika (Parna Pethe). Avinash and Aasavari goes to Europe for 15 days to spend some quality time and when they returned Avinash founds that somebody has used his Bank Account and has stolen approx 50 Lacs. Completely Shattered and Shocked Avinash immediately goes to Cyber crime branch and request Inspector Pawar (Mahesh Manjarekar) to help him find whoever has done it. Later on, all the suspense like who did it, why he did so and how he did it, unfolds in this 110 minutes tight and gripping screenplay. TCGN has a well crafted first half which makes the momentum get going and keep you excited but in 2nd half addition of Youth Generation Problems with thier Parents and also Emotional bonding looked bit stretching. The momentum created in 1st half goes in vain. Actors, Writers have done thier job very well but the technical team had more scope. Along with the Direction somewhere Production also sounds little less than expected but never goes fully dull and that's where one can say TCGN has managed to reach it's destination. It might have some ups and downs but the Conviction is there till the End.

Overall, TCGN can be called a Great attempt for trying this Techno-thriller genre in Marathi industry. We have not seen this genre yet and TCGN will be called Pioneer of that in coming days. RATING- 5/10*

We should appreciate the efforts taken by director. Rarely selected topic in Bollywood as well. All characters acted well. Sachin Khedekar is as solid as ever. Story should have been more focused on Daughter. Almost all possible cyber frauds explained except camera hack. It can happen with anyone. Actually happened with many. Should have at least basic knowledge. Would love to watch part 2 if coming.

The film is a typical Basu Chatterjee style film minus the comedy and added seriousness. The film attempts to spread awareness about cyber crime wherein the protagonist recalls his story. Characters are realistic. No one except the villain per se are shown as evil. Its take on police is surprisingly positive. Along with this, it also explores bonds of family, fresh emergence of youth and old age. The film is too simple at places. Direction is good. Screenplay could be better. Ending and Beginning also need improvement.

This is a Marathi language film starring Sachin Khedekar, Mahesh Manjrekar and Iravati Harshe.

This film is a must watch for parents, especially teenage parents and teenage children alike. In today's era where online privacy is a great issue threatening both the lives and future of the next generations.

The film's plot is about how a young vulnerable girl falls into one such situation. The biggest learning is to first confide in your parents. And for parents to then approach law enforcement. Any hesitation or delays in the above two steps is what makes the situation more complex.

The performances are great, and in multiple situations the film falls into an educative zone which while taking a bit away from the pace of the film, is very crucial to convey the message.
