Review:
After a humongous hit in the form of Valvi last year, Paresh Mokashi shifts genres and is now back with a family drama ‘Naach Ga Ghuma’ which promised to be a complete entertainer after the trailer was released. Keep reading to know more.
The film starts with a happy family montage of an early morning where Rani (Mukta Barve) wakes up first amongst the family of three. Anand (Sarang Sathaye) is the husband of Rani and they have a 5-year-old daughter. Having a younger daughter holds a big responsibility for Rani to do everything for her.
At the centre of such a jolly life of the small family lies Aasha (Namrata Bhalerao), the house-help who has a habit of coming late almost every day. This habit of her has become a nuisance for Rani and they keep fighting over it now and then. Rani keeps warning Asha about firing her if she doesn’t come on time. One fine day, Asha again shows up late which leads to Anand and the daughter having a minor accident. This pushes Rani to fire Asha and then starts the quest to find a replacement. Will Rani and Anand find the perfect household or will they get Asha back is how the film moves forward.
The writing is very interesting and shines bright when handling love-hate relationships humorously. The father-daughter relationship is very cute and heart-warming. The writing is full of subtle details. For example, the woman of the house is named Rani which means Queen, the man of the house is named Anand which means Happiness and the household is named Asha which means Hope. All three of them have names which describe their relationship with the house.
Even after all of this, one thing that bothers me is the repetitive nature of the story which makes the film 30 minutes longer than expected. The pacing is also uneven which makes the film a bit boring in the middle. Shades of Paresh Mokashi’s direction from Chi Va Chi Sau Ka can be seen but he still doesn’t go all out with his craft this time around. The cinematography is ordinary and nothing out of the box. The music could also have been better. The title track will stick around with you for a while.
Mukta Barve yet again does nothing different than what she has been doing all her life. She for me is really on the verge of being type-casted. Sarang Sathaye has ruled the small screen with his comedy and his silver screen era has just begun. He is here to rule. His comic timing and his scenes with the daughter are just brilliant. The other supporting cast is also great.
All in all, Naach Ga Ghuma is a perfect recipe for women in their 40s wanting to have a good time at the cinemas. With a lot of comedy, a pinch of emotional drama and a bucket full of relatable situations, they will have a great time watching it. Worth watching with your family.
