Simbariya Films’ Neta Geeta (Marathi; UA) is a story about student politics.
Sudhanshu Budukh’s story is quite routine and doesn’t really involve the viewers. His screenplay resorts to tried and tested scenes and, therefore, the drama fails to engage the audience or entertain them fully. Sudhanshu Budukh’s dialogues are ordinary.
Shivani Baokar is so-so. Sudhanshu Budukh does a fair job. Anil Nagarkar is okay. Rohit Kokate lends average support. Vitthal Kale, Viraj Awchite, Vikrant Dhivare and Suchet Gavai do as required. Others pass muster.
Sudhanshu Budukh’s direction is quite commonplace. There’s nothing in the narration to hold the audience’s attention or keep them entertained. Niranjan Pedgaonkar’s music and Durgesh Kale’s lyrics don’t add up to much. Even the song picturisations (by Sanjir Howladar and Dheeraj Bhalerao) are below the mark. Niranjan Pedgaonkar’s background music is okay. Roshan Marodkar’s camerawork is passable. Action and stunt scenes (choreographed by Robert John Francisco) afford some thrill but are still way below the mark when compared to many other films. Gajanan Sontakke’s art direction is average. Saumitra Dharasurkar’s editing leaves something to be desired.
On the whole, Neta Geeta is a flop fare.
Released on 30-8-’24 at Glamour (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Sunshine Studios. Publicity & opening: dull.
