Yashraj Movies’ Tuza Durava (Marathi; meaning ‘Your separation’) is a tragic love story.
Adarsh (Amit Kalyankar) loves Rutuja (Girija Prabhu). She gets pregnant but Adarsh is not ready for marriage as he wants to settle down in life before that. He tells Rutuja to abort the child but she doesn’t heed his advice. Rutuja delivers a child.
Soon thereafter, Rutuja reaches out to Adarsh to request him to accept their newborn child. But she gets a shock when she realises that Adarsh is married to Sakshi (Smita Shewale).
On learning about Adarsh’s affair, Sakshi divorces him. What happens thereafter? Do Adarsh and Rutuja come together?
Bal Nikam’s story concept is as old as the hills. Makarand Lingnorkar has developed the routine story in an unimpressive manner. His screenplay, too, lacks the fire. Consequently, the drama becomes quite boring as it is devoid of novelty and excitement. Dialogues (Makarand Lingnorkar) are ordinary.
Amit Kalyankar is average as Adarsh. Girija Prabhu is alright in the role of Rutuja. Smita Shewale is fair as Sakshi. Surekha Kudachi (as Adarsh’s mother), Umesh Bolake (as Sopan Kaka), Bharati Dhole and Rohit Chavan lend ordinary support.
Bal Nikam’s direction is not convincing. Music (Shreedhar Atraya, Achchut Thakur and Swapnil Godbole) and lyrics (Babasaheb Saudagar) are functional. Harsha Kogad’s background music is commonplace. Nandkumar Patil’s camerawork is nothing to rave about. Satish Bidkar’s sets are alright. Nikhil Thackar’s editing is loose.
On the whole, Tuza Durava is a flop fare.
Released on 13-12-’19 at Bharatmata (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Fast Track Entertainment. Publicity & opening: dull.
