Plot : The journey of Sunny from being an arrogant uptight youngster to a self-discovered humble man.
Review:
Director Hemant Dhome is back on the silver screen with yet another slice of life film. Sunny is a heartwarming breezy journey of self discovery and acceptance. The film grows on you as it eases past the protagonist’s path of finding himself in a completely new way.
The film starts with Sunny, played by the charming Lalit Prabhakar, getting into all sorts of troubles because of his attitude and ego. His elder brother, Vishwajeet, played by Chinmay Mandlekar, decides to teach him a lesson the hard way and puts in an application to a University in UK for Sunny. In no time, Sunny is flown off to the UK and is introduced to a completely new life out there.
The film will instantly strike a chord with all the students studying abroad, away from their families and are struggling to keep their problems at bay. The quirky anecdotes will definitely tickle your funny bone. The film delves deeper in the second half while handling the ugly side of relationships. The emotional ride takes new turns as it moves forward. It also touches on the aspect of how accepting European countries are in a very subtle manner. The representation of LGBTQ community is dealt with in a very realistic yet sweet manner.
The music is average but works for most of the parts. The songs are not that great and were not needed at all. The supporting cast especially Kshitee Jog plays her part to perfection. The shades she displays in the limited time she gets is quite an achievement. The only disappointment is the runtime of the film. It takes its own time to settle and then just works wonders.
Sunny is a sweet, heartwarming and quite an emotional rollercoaster of a film. It goes beyond just being a coming of age slice of film. This openness and daring to explore such subjects is what is needed in the Marathi industry at this hour.
