Chintya, a lovelorn teenager, is constantly pushed over by all the girls he approaches in the name of friendship. But his fortune changes when he approaches Zhuluk.
Review:
Directed by Vishal Sakharam and Produced by Tejaswini Pandit, who also has a guest appearance in the film, ‘Bamboo’ is a light hearted galore of all the emotions one experiences when falling in love for the first time. The youth with chronicles of love on their mind will surely connect with the film but other than that, the film has nothing new to offer.
The film starts off with Chintya’s struggle to find a girlfriend. Aptly played by the chocolate boy, Abhinay Berde, all the girls reject Chintya and friendzone him. The song, Mi Tula Tya Nazrene, perfectly sums it up. One fine day arrives the beautiful girl Chintya has been waiting for all along. Zhuluk played by Vaishnavi Kalyankar is a character who always abides by her father’s principles no matter what.
And when it becomes difficult for Chintya to make her fall in love with him. He approaches the Love Guru and the god of love making, Madan. Madan is played by Parth Bhalerao in the funniest way possible even though the script is quite weak, he manages to pull off all the one liners. But does Madan have true intentions of making the pair fall in love or is he the one who plays the double game and gets the girl for himself is what the film is all about.
The supporting cast is quite funny too. Shivaji Satam and Samir Chaughule are hillarious. Tejaswini Pandit’s cameo is missable and doesn’t make much of a difference. The songs are also pretty average and not that catchy.
Since the dawn of films, this particular genre which shows ‘falling in love’, ‘infatuation’ and ‘love sickness’ have been used in all ways possible. So, it becomes a very herculean task for the writers to find something original and unique. Bamboo also suffers from the same disease. The disease of repetition. We have tons of films showing the same thing and so Bamboo doesn’t really hit the mark.
Bamboo is yet again a below average attempt of showing the teenage problems with cheap comedy and weak screenplay. Bamboo might be a plausible watch if you go with your friends and have tons of nostalgia related to this love sickness. The saturation of the same kind of films every month seems to have hit the audience now.
