Marathi actors have never been short of talent. Unfortunately, the industry has been degenerating gradually, possible because of talented actors moving to bollywood, lower investments, etc. However, with films like Zenda, Harishchandrachi Factory and Natarang, one can safely say the industry has been resuscitated. Atul Kulkarni, Kishore Kadam and the others leave you spellbound with their performances. Their performances are so mezmerising, that you will find yourself watching a stage performance. The direction is not flawless, particularly in the last few minutes, where you get the impression that the director was tired. However the tightly written script and gripping story keep you on the edge for most of the time. The actors too must be credited for the perfect oration of Rural Marathi. Hats off to Ajay-Atul for their exceptional background score and music. The depiction of lavni & tamasha was maybe a bit too over-the-top. Overall, Natarang is an OUTSTANDING film!!

Pros:1.Great performances by Shreyas and Tushar. Tushar brings a smile on your face with his antics. 2.Crisp dialogues are a highlight of this film. 3.Ajay Devgan essays his role very well. 4.On the whole, very funny film. Cons:1.A very weak script spoils the film. 2.Film is dragged in the second half. 3.Some characters are unnecessary. 4.Arshad Warsi is wasted. 5.Music is one dimensional. Verdict: Overall, it is an entertaining film to say the least. However, some poor editing and bad script writing are blemishes on the film. To cut a long story short, GR is NOT a worthy sequel to Golmaal-1. You can watch it, if pure humour and baseless entertainment is your cup of tea.
