Siya Entertainment’s Posco 307 (Marathi; UA) is the story of Bali and Krushna, two young men who take law into their own hands following a brutal assault on Krushna’s younger sister. The law moves so slowly in the village that the two youngsters have no option but to try and themselves mete out punishment to the wrong-doers. This ignites a wave of collective outrage. Krushna is guided by Bali’s principles and chooses a path of retribution.
Swaroop Vaishali Balasaheb Sawant has written a story which offers no novelty whatsoever. The screenplay, written by Vishal Sudam Jadhao, Keshav Kalyankar and Swaroop Vaishali Balasaheb Sawant, tries to pack in action, emotions, melodrama and everything else but the impact is so weak that they all just don’t add up to much. The proceedings fail to involve the viewers who, therefore, end up watching the drama like silent spectators. The trio’s dialogues are poor.
Swaroop Sawant is dull. Amit Taware is ordinary. Shashi Thosar does an average job. Divya Ghadge is routine. Kartiki Santosh Sorte is unimpressive. Siddheshwar Zadbuke passes muster.
Swaroop Vaishali Balasaheb Sawant’s direction is weak. His editing leaves a lot to be desired. Prathamesh Kanade’s music is dull. Lyrics are ordinary. Sopan Purandare’s camerawork is nothing to dance about. Vikas Dubal’s art direction hardly deserves mention.
On the whole, Posco 307 is a flop show.
Released on 16-5-’25 at Bharat Cineplex Kurla (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru August Entertainment. Publicity & opening: poor.
