Navra Maza Navsacha 2

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.

Movie Review: Navra majha navsacha 2 screening in cinema halls near you!!

A sequel to the 2005 film with the same name , this Sachin Pilgaonkar, Ashok Saraf film had raised high expectations . Here's my review....

A major difference in the film is that , it is a train journey as opposed to the bus journey in the original.

This time around Vacky's ( Sachin) son-in-law, Lamby(Swapnil Joshi ), supposedly an atheist is convinced by his fiancee Shraddha ( Hemal Ingale) to fulfil a " Nagda Navas " , toh suddha chaar chaughat.. ( xlation .. stand nude before bappa at the ganpatipule temple in full view of public 😁😁) .. Konitari bappana wachva re 😁😱 .... And how will Lamby pull of this seemingly impossible feat!!

They undertake a train journey this time to Ganpatipule and as usual it has quirky characters like Vaibhav Mangle , Siddharth Jadhav and Ashok Saraf as the TTE this time. There is also a twist in the tale which isn't hard to guess .

The first half is pure fun with great on screen chemistry between Swapnil Joshi, Sachin and Supriya Pilgaonkar. Grt stuff that raises ur expectations big time .

However the train journey which was supposed to be the main part of the film begins only in the second half. Ashok Saraf looks tired and his role isn't half as good as it was in the original. Many of the jokes are cliched and outright buffoonery which fail to invoke genuine laughter!! And there is a Chinese guy named " Randy Cha".. marathi main iska matlab jaan lo 😁... Eating fried cockroaches .. come on guys .. what do u want to do .. stir up a war with China !!

Some jokes are decent but pitifully less.

The ending shows an uncomfortable Swapnil Joshi stripping before bappa ... I don't want to body shame anyone .. but the guy looks grossly out of shape (wake up call buddy)😭!!

Some things that will appeal to the marathi audiences are a liberal dose of Ganesh aarati's scattered throughout the film & some tear-jerker moments which r a hallmark of Marathi cinema.

The film may still do well despite the flaws above .. but for me it did not live up to the hype created !! I expected more from Sachin !!

Going with 2.5/5 for this one .. Adios🙂!!

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.

The movie is definitely worth watching atleast once. A complete family movie giving cozy vibes and also definitely some nostalgia.

The movie is filled with comedy no doubt. The storyline is interesting but also straight and simple. Good characters and actors.

The first half has ample comedy and a wonderful story. Good songs and vibes and all. Even the pace is perfect. The only little con is the pace of the second half. Feels a bit slow and some forced unnecessary stuff and dialogues. But still the climax was interesting and the role of Siddharth Jadhav was wow. Swapnil Joshi and Sachin Pilgaonkar had the most screentime of all and was worth it.

Ultimately brilliant direction and writing is what makes a film good and Sachin left no crumbs.

So highly recommended to all and enjoy the film with your family.

Its a sequel of first movie. But this movie is average if we compare to first movie and song are really boring. Lead actress was average and i feel Swapnil has to bring some change. He don't have to say all the dialogue as if he is performing in theatre. There should be some realism. Also if he is playing a lead role i feel he should have lost some weight if he knew he will be doing topless scene. Coz it was really not pleasant to see hero like this. Best acting done by sachin sir, supriya mam and ashok sir... love the train sequence it was fun. Even nirmiti ji and vaibhav sir was outstanding.. really love there performance. But u will easily guess who is the villain in the movie. Also ending when lamby start believe in god was also not that convincing enough... that situation could have been better.
