    Brilliantly executed!! Great watch !!

    Film review: Vaalvi ( Marathi film now showing in theatres) #sanjuzzreviews #Vaalvi #subodhbhave #swapniljoshi #Thrillcom #murdermystery #suspensethriller Vaalvi is a dark comedy, a thrillcom as the makes have put it . Very rarely do we see such a movie being attempted by Marathi film makers and Director Paresh Mokashi deserves full credit for this brilliantly executed film.

    Story- Aniket (Swapnil Joshi) & his wife Avni( Anita Date) decide to end their lives together. However there is more than what meets the eye, this is actually a well planned murder about to be executed by Aniket and his girlfriend Devika ( Shivani Surve) with Avni as the victim. Can't reveal anything more without giving away the suspense!!

    What is Subodh Bhave's role in the film and how is the name Vaalvi ( Termites) apt for this film are the things to watch out for.

    Superb screenplay with a gripping storyline that is full of twists and turns right from the word go, will keep you hooked till the very end.

    Muted comedy dialogues are just brilliant and tend to make you laugh even in the tense situations that the characters are in !!

    Swapnil Joshi, Subodh Bhave create magic on screen as they did in Fugay. The female leads too perform brilliantly.

    In a nutshell, everything falls in place for this film. Highly recommended!! Watch it in theatres now or on OTT when it eventually streams. Don't miss !!

    Going with 4/5 for this one .. Adios 🙂

    Outstanding!!

    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.

    Brilliance all the way

    Couldn't believe I was wholeheartedly laughing on such serious situations..!

    Top class cinema!! Considering the kind of topic movie handles, the director did a commendable job to keep the screenplay top-notch. Not a single moment feels cheap.

    Excellent acting by all the star cast. Their expressions speak volumes. Their acting elaborates the scenes thousand times better than dialogues.

    Proud of Marathi cinema! Go and watch in theatres. Much much better than cheap Bollywood masala movies.

    Thanks to Paresh Mokashi and Zee studios for bringing such a masterpiece and taking Marathi movies to next level!

    RECOMMENDED.

    One husband wants to kill his wife and makes it to be looked like a suicide. Will he be succeeded on his plan or not is the premises of Vaalvi. It's a Dark-Comedy Thriller, so there are many funny moments, also good thrill is there. Laugh out moments are there specially in the 2nd half.

    The screenplay is perfect, I smiled, laughed and get shocked throughout the film. The ending is unexpected, loved it. Amazing Performances by all, loved Swapnil Joshi and Shivani Surve the most. I've heard that makers will do a sequel and I'll be waiting for that. Thriller lovers shouldn't miss this one. Recommended.

    Available on ZEE5.

    What a movie !!!!! Watch in theatres

    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.
