Navra Maza Navsacha 2

Navra Majha Navsacha 2 falls flat despite a stellar cast, proving that big names can't save a weak storyline. Viewers expected a delightful sequel, but the film delivers a bland, clichéd plot that leans on outdated humor and predictable tropes.

The main storyline-focused on a reluctant religious ritual-is illogical and stretched, with attempts at humor that feel forced and childish. Jokes are repetitive, and many are outright cringeworthy, including a caricatured Chinese character eating cockroaches, which only borders on offensive rather than funny. Ashok Saraf, usually a reliable comic presence, appears visibly tired and underwhelming, his role a shadow of what it was in the original.

The film suffers from poor pacing, with the central train journey beginning only in the second half, leaving the first half as a slow buildup that does little to engage. Swapnil Joshi's performance is disappointing; his theatrical delivery feels overacted, and his physical appearance in a key scene is distracting, detracting from any intended humor or relatability. The lead actress also delivers an uninspired performance, adding nothing memorable to the film.

Religious themes are overemphasized to the point of feeling preachy, which may alienate audiences expecting lighthearted entertainment. Attempts to inject emotion and nostalgia with Ganesh Aarti and sentimental scenes feel more like filler than genuine moments, lacking the depth to make any impact.

In the end, Navra Majha Navsacha 2 is a textbook case of a disappointing sequel, overly reliant on the legacy of the original but offering little in return. For many viewers, it's a waste of time and money, with no real laughs or depth to justify its hype.

Had watched the original movie, which was fantastic. So watched this movie with high expectations. The original movie was pure entertainment and had enjoyed it a lot.

Needless to say, was quite excited to watch the sequel. However the overacting by Sachin, Supriya and Swapneel has killed the movie. Was shocked to see Nirmiti Savant's talent being wasted in this movie. I have seen some of her movies and she is a good actress.

Only saving grace was Ashok Saraf, the undisputed thespian. However, even he cant stop this movie from going down.

No wonder this movie got released on OTT. Not worth watching..

Worst movie, do not expect anything from this movie based on the first part. Very bad and illogical story line, songs are pathetic. Repetitive dialogues, too much god god, lead heroine acting wasn't upto the mark. Could have been a very successful movie which such good cast. Disappointed.

Maybe I expected a lot based on the first part. It's proved once again that sequels are mostly disappointing. Hope good Marathi movies are made in future. It has been years since a good Marathi movie. Think only Nagraj Manjule can create the magic once more. Or maybe Sanjay Jadhav. With such movies Marathi movies don't have a future. I would suggest, don't waste your money guys.

I doubt other reviews.

Watched this on OTT and thanking Ganpati bappa that I didn't waste any money in theatres. How have they spoiled such a classic movie in part-2. No logic in the "navas", over-acting by all characters, lame mis-timed jokes.

Too much non required adult comedy, unnecessary characters, repetitive dialogues, useless songs, forced cameos and no emotional connect. Sorry to say but they have COMPLETELY RUINED THE LEGEND PART 1 WAS by making this kind of sequel. I wonder how they saw the final output & felt it was okay to release this nationwide. & how such terrific and established actors and team didn't realize what a mess they were making while shooting the scenes.

Sachin Pilgaonkar has created a let-down movie which should have been avoided to keep the part-1 as a classic in people's mind.

The promotions got me hyped, but this movie still fails to deliver. Every department has missed the mark. The star cast is excellent, but the storyline and dialogues are bland and lack flavor. As viewers, we no longer watch movies just for the sake of big names; we need compelling screenplays and sharp dialogues. I'm not here to spread hate-I'm a passionate Marathi movie lover-but it's disappointing to see no real progress, even with such a stellar cast. We want the Marathi industry to dominate across India.

New, bright minds with different mindset are needed for projects like these, especially if remakes are involved. We can't keep relying on big names alone. I hope things improve in the future. Let's make it big.
