Aadinath Pictures, Rakesh Raut Production and Top Angle Production’s Aathava Rang Premacha (Marathi; UA) is the story of an acid attack victim.
Krutika (Rinku Rajguru) is defaced at her own farewell party thrown by her colleagues in the office. The case is handed over to police inspector Yashwant (Makarand Deshpande). To his horror, inspector Yashwant realises that the acid attack victim is his own daughter. Anyway, the case remains unsolved. Krutika’s impending marriage is called off by Krutika herself when she realises that her fiancé is hesitant to marry an acid attack victim.
Shirish (Vishal Aanand) not only looks after Krutika but also proposes her for marriage. The two lead a happy life and even have a child. But a sudden revelation turns the couple’s life upside down.
Khushboo Sinha’s story is quite far-fetched. In the climax, the audience wonders why Shirish had taken an acid attack victim as his wife. The screenplay, written by Samir Karnik and Khushboo Sinha, is slow-paced and serves to bore the audience more than entertaining them. The scenes in the hospital, especially, are morose and depressing. Dialogues, penned by Samir Karnik and Khushboo Sinha, are so-so.
Rinku Rajguru acts ably and lives the role of Krutika. Vishal Aanand is quite good as Shirish. Makarand Deshpande performs well in the role of police inspector Yashwant. Tushar Kavle is average as Amey. Kanchan Jadhav lends able support as Krutika’s mother. Ashish Warang stands his own as Waghmare. Kaushik (as Ramesh) and Aditi Patil (as Aditi) get very little scope. Others fit the bill.
Khushboo Sinha’s narration is not up to the mark. Her direction leaves a lot to be desired. Music (Prini Siddhant Madhav and Marc D Muse) is ordinary. Lyrics (by Valay Mulgund, Jay Atre, Atique Allahabadi and Rohit Gavandi) are average. Song picturisations (by Ranju Verghese and Piyush Panchal) are alright. Raja Narayan Deb’s background music is so-so. Duleep Regmi’s camerawork is fair. Jitendra Kava’s art direction is nothing to shout about. Sumit Dhole’s editing is loose.
On the whole, Aathava Rang Premacha is a non-starter.
Released on 17-6-’22 at Plaza (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru AA Films. Publicity & opening: very poor.
