Vanishree Film Productions’ All Is Well (Marathi; UA) is the story of three young men who come to Bombay from three different cities. Their paths cross and together, they go through a roller-coaster ride they had not bargained for.
Amar (Abhinay Berde) comes to Bombay from Nagpur to meet Dimple (Deesha Katkar) whom he had gotten to know on social media. She runs away with the ring he gives her. Akbar (Priyadarshan Jadhav) arrives in Bombay from Malegaon but his pocket gets picked. Anthony (Rohit Haldikar) comes from Goa to the city of dreams to become an actor. The three meet quite by chance and get embroiled in an ATM booth robbery. They also get picked by Appa (Sayaji Shinde) who is acting on behalf of a builder, to kill bungalow owner Sardesai (Madhav Waze). What happens thereafter? How do they come out of the mess?
Priyadarshan Jadhav has written a story which offers no novelty. His screenplay is hackneyed and although a few comic scenes do entertain, the overall drama is so predictable and so kiddish that it’s not funny. The screenplay is full of coincidences and so the writing looks like nothing but an exercise of convenience. Priyadarshan Jadhav’s dialogues are okay.
Abhinay Berde is alright as Amar. Priyadrshan Jadhav acts well as Akbar although he tends to overact at places. Rohit Haldikar is average as Anthony. Nakshatra Medhekar performs ably as Amar’s girlfriend and television reporter, Nakshatra. Sayaji Shinde makes his mark as Appa. Madhav Waze doesn’t quite impress in the role of Sardesai. Sayalee Phatak is so-so as Akbar’s girlfriend, constable Tabassum. Abhijeet Chavan is ordinary as police inspector Rode. Amyra Goswami looks pretty and does an average job as Anthony’s girlfriend, Anna. Ajay Jadhav passes muster as Linga. Deesha Katkar is passable in a tiny role as Dimple. Others do as desired.
Yogesh Jadhav’s direction is not quite up to the mark. Music (by Chinar-Mahesh and Arjun Janya) is fair. The Zindagi and title songs are alright. Mandar Cholkar’s lyrics are appropriate. Rajesh Bidwe’s song picturisations pass muster. Mayank Tyagi’s background music ought to have been better. Mayuresh Joshi’s camerawork is okay. Ajay Thakur Pathania’s action and stunt scenes are more functional than anything else. Nitin Borkar’s art direction is average. Athashree Thube’s editing should’ve been crisper.
On the whole, All Is Well will not fare well at the ticket windows.
Released on 27-6-’25 at Gem (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Panorama Studios. Publicity: so-so. Opening: dull.
