R.S.T. Canvas’ Drushya-Adrushya (Marathi; UA) is a suspense drama.
Tanvi Pradhan’s (Pooja Sawant) little daughter, Isha (Keya Ingle), goes missing from a hotel where the two have come on a holiday. Investigating police officer Bhushan Patil (Ashok Samarth) is confused because the account given by the hotel staff is completely different from Tanvi’s account. As if that weren’t bad enough, the dead body of Tanvi’s husband, Rohit (Suvrat Joshi), is found in a jungle nearby. Who has kidnapped Isha? Who is behind the murder of Rohit?
Milind Lele’s story and screenplay may be interesting but only up to a point. After some time, the audience find the drama stretching without being very arresting. Asmita Kulkarni’s dialogues are alright.
Pooja Sawant is good in the role of Tanvi Pradhan. Suvrat Joshi is alright as Rohit. Ashok Samarth acts ably as police inspector Bhushan Patil. Vidyadhar Joshi lends decent support as hotel owner Bhandari. Akshaya Gurav provides average support as PSI Sawant. Hardik Joshi is okay as Suraj Bhandari. Baby Keya Ingle is fair as Isha Pradhan. Others are adequate.
Milind Lele’s direction is okay. He has not been able to make a film which can keep the viewers hooked to the proceedings. Ashish Mujumdar and Devdutta Manisha Baji’s music is fair. Lyrics (by Valay Mulgund) are alright. Deepak Debnath’s choreography is average. Devdutta Manisha Baji’s background music is quite impactful. Amol Salunke’s camerawork is good. Shaila Tike’s action and stunt scenes are quite nice. Nitin Borkar’s art direction is fair. Sachin Wagh’s editing ought to have been sharper.
On the whole, Drushya-Adrushya is too ordinary to turn out to be a box-office winner.
Released on 19-6-’26 at Cinepolis Bhandup (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Augmentus Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Publicity & opening: poor.
