Meena Shamim Films’ Paivatachi Savali (Marathi; UA) is the story of hope, despair, despondency and redemption.
A young man arrives in Bombay to pursue his Bollywood dreams. But he faces rejections, leading to frustration and despair. A ray of hope comes in the form of love, but even that crumbles under the weight of his failures. He is on the verge of committing suicide but then, there comes a lifeline. The young man experiences spiritual awakening and that changes his life forever.
Munnawar Shamim Bhagat has written a predictable story which offers no freshness or novelty whatsoever. His screenplay rests on such a routine story idea that it does little to elevate the proceedings to even a decent level of entertainment. Rather, the drama becomes dull and drab. Munnawar Shamim Bhagat’s dialogues are fair.
Vije Bhatia does an ordinary job. Shalvi Shah is average. Others pass muster.
Munnawar Shamim Bhagat’s direction is weak. Amit Anil Biswas’ music as well as background music are unable to redeem the drama in any way. Lyrics are functional. Camerawork is just about average. Man B. Roka’s editing is loose.
On the whole, Paivatachi Savali is a poor fare.
Released on 30-5-’25 at Movie Time Goregaon (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Akat Distribution. Publicity & opening: weak.
