Takatak

TAKATAK REVIEW :-

Takatak gathered attention of youth audience because of attractional content but at the same time it hinted family audience to stay away. Just like the statement came from makers, yes "Takatak" is the Hottest and Boldest Marathi Film ever. The lust is there, funky double meaning dialogues are there, hotness, boldness, Vulgarity and what not? Everything is there. But most importantly it has that needed feature film melodrama portion and also tries to throw a mesaage on lost minded people of society.

There are 2 paths on which the ride Takatak walks, one goes to Village and other one is set in Mumbai. In village, we have Ganya and Meenu's Lovestory and in City we see just married life of Chomeshwar and Kamakshi. Ganya loves Meenu since childhood but Meenu is in relationship with some other guy. Will Ganya win Meenu or will he always be her Best Friend? The story revolves around these 2 questions while Prathamesh Parab looks Typical Villager teenager and Ritika Shrotri is sweet but definitely not an innocent girl. On the other side, Chomeshwar (Abhijit Amkar) is sex addict who expect his Wife Kamakshi (Pranali Bhalerao) to come out of Villager girl behaviour and become free minded, bold urban wife. Comparison wise, Ganya and Meenu story is more engaging and connectable whereas Chomeshwar and Kamakshi story is more Sexy and Bold. Takatak is blessed with double meaning and rhyming dialogues which are surely enough to bring laughter. Watch out the scene just after the interval where Prathamesh Parab totally aquires dialogue delivery system. Music section too is blessed with couple of good songs, 'Aapla Haath Jaggnath' sounds perfectly party song in rural area and 'Ye Chandrala' works like a Sweetness to ears & hotness to eyes. Screenplay has plenty of mistakes, the link is lost sometimes, loo breaks irritates but thankfully enjoyable dose of adult comedy keeps it floating.

Milind Kavde as director attempts an untouchable subject but the fashion used in film is outdated. Even though he deserves appreciation for the gutsy theme, he also deserves to be bashed for those cinematic mistakes seen on screen. In a nutshell, Takatak offers Lustfully Entertainment, Youthful Dialogues, never seen before Boldness in Marathi Cinema and at last tries to make some sense in Non Sense Way. If all of these makes you excited enough and you are happy with an Average Product then Takatak should be in your watchlist.

RATING- 4/10*

Acting is average at best. Male leads, Prathamesh sometimes hams, Abhijit is average at best. Prathamesh will do well to observe how village Turks actually behave. He acts how city boys think a villager will act. So he seems over acting, at least immature. Sonali Bhalerao can't act but she is not in the movie for acting. She has dared to do kind of scenes vet few marathi actresses will dare, so that's her plus point. As for real emoting she is so below par. Ritika Shrotri shines among this. She is not great but plays the wild teenager to the fullest. Overall story line is pretty average. But ending is mature. There is a sense of understanding of modern times, friendship without being too 'urban modern' like most marathi movies which often fall short. This village movie shows a maturity in the end.

this film is already a disaster since the trailer release due to its extra vulgar content, dialogues, scenes. Terrible misogyny and objectification of women, not to be compared with other comedy films at all. This film is a below average , low budget, c grade film, so not an entertainer at all.

First half was completely Vulgur with full of abusing words and sex scenes with no proper direction. But people laugh on adult punches, which attract public. Some scenes in the movie are very well directed and give good messages to society. Second half was directed in smooth manner as compared to first half. Movie shows love story and sex before marriage and after marriage, and it's bad effects as well. Varadi Marathi language tadka was given to movie. It is the most Vulgur Marathi movie till now.

This is a movie trying to be a young adult sex comedy with a message. But i didn't laugh nor did i find the message conveyed!! I didn't need convincing in the first place but the movie doesn't even try and characters do whatever the script asks them to do not what their characters should do and they change with a snap!! it is so stupid. The height of it all comes when a porn addict changes and becomes a non addict with a single conversation which is not even inspiring! its a bad movie.
