A very romantic movie by Satish Rajwade.... and of course, i was not going to miss it. so, i quickly planned for the same as i found some resemblance of my life into it.
So,movie starts with the a nice shots of my "pune" as seen at the wee hours of day.Entry of heroin and hero is quickly followed by that. Heroin is Mukta barve ,who's name is not known to viewer till end and thus depicts "amachi mumbai" ,also have same fashion madness in her costume (which suits her very well ). Now hero is Swapnil Joshi from "majhe pune" , who have a typical "puneri" mentality ( i am gonna explain it later what is the meaning of puneri mentality :P ) and is not up to date in fashion. He helps her find a guy's address in a special puneri marathi ( Pure ,not like Mumbai's marathi which is more like a hindi+marathi :) ) ,but, now heroin gets to know marathi culture in pune and also world famous Puneri Patya ..unfortunately she could not meet the guy and so again coincidentally she meets him again.
Now He is there to help her as he feels that "not helping a girl is against principles in pune" .. :P why he goes behind her is explained later at the end. now, he becomes the knight in a shining armour for heroin. He takes her to coffee shop , then to Sarasbaug , tulashibaug, visit to Sinhagad follows. Through out their visites to places , they exchange their thoughts, principles and they begin to adapt each others language specific habits :) and most importantly their Past..They both share a secrets with each other which they have not even shared with their family and friends.. In so small time, they bond so well that they just forgets about the "hurting spots" in their minds ( Hers being ex-boyfriend : Arnav and his being ex-girlfriend : Sunkchi-a japanies girl) , This is sweet.. :)
Then, they also visits the Dagadusheth ganapati followed by famous hang out place on FC road : Wadeshwar .. which becomes the last stop of theirs as she need to go back to mumbai .. Actually, she had come to pune to meet that guy (who they name after his residence's name : Hridaymardaym ) and she is to tell him that she can not marry him. But, at the end she forgets everything abt him and tells hero to convey her reasons to that guy.
Finally ,time comes when she needs to go back . hmmm.. They bid good-byes and don't even exchange numbers. he leaves and she awaits train to mumbai. Then, few events happen which unfolds the mystery of the hridaymardaym guy.. that guy turns out to be our hero :)...
The thing i liked about this movie is it's simplicity and illustrative way of showing a difference between mumbai and pune and slowing diverting that to the difference between a boy and a girl and institution called marriage. :) .. Movie also beautifully unfolds the tender relationships that develops between hero and heroin ... I myself , think knowing each other's past is the best thing that can build relationship , now it is not necessary that we should stick to one's past.Past is just a way to peep in one's heart and to judge whether there is any place for us :)
Music is also good. It just creates the mood for the romantic situations that movie demands.
What to say about acting,Mukta did a fabulous job as a girl representing Mumbai, she keeps a dashing,bold characteristics through out movie but also shows a acute feminine behaviours like blushing when he proposes her. The costume also suits her very well. Swapnil shows a unique "punery" guy and takes claps on statements about pune. Overall, movie seems like pro-pune.. :) .Only thing i felt was wrong that, his dialogs contain many mumbai's local words.dialog shows he follows modified-marathi from mumbai's marathi itself..
Overall, a very good movie . Every couple ,especially, pune-mumbai couples must watch this movie.It will help you to better understand your counter-part.. :)
