Shashikant Dhotre Art’s Sajana (Marathi; UA) is a love triangle.
Sajana (Akash Sarvgod) and Dinya (Sambhaji Pawar) love the same girl, Vandana (Trupti More). On her part, Vandana loves only Sajana.
Shashikant Dhotre has penned a routine love triangle story which appeals at places only. His screenplay is replete with clichéd scenes and predictable turns and twists. Yet, some scenes do have the intensity to engage the viewers. Shashikant Dhotre’s dialogues are fairly nice.
Akash Sarvgod does a fair job as Sajana. Trupti More acts nicely in the role of Vandana. Sambhaji Pawar is quite effective as Dinya. Abhay Chavan lends reasonable support as Vandana’s brother. Mahesh Kshirsagar is adequate as Surya. Shital Chavan is alright as Lakshi. Prachi Palve (as Aakki) is passable. Others fit the bill.
Shashikant Dhotre’s direction is ordinary. His narration, like the script, offers no novelty. Onkarswaroop’s music is reasonably nice. The title track is melodious. Suhas Munde’s lyrics are average. Ranju Varghese’s choreography is okay. Onkarswaroop does a reasonably good job of the background music. Ranjeet Mane’s camerawork is very nice. Manohar Verma’s action and stunt scenes afford some thrill. Production designing (by Satish Ashok Potdar and Prashant Deshmane) and art direction (by Atul Lokhande) are of a fair standard. Editing (Vaibhav Dabhade, Jayesh Mahamuni and Sanjay Hosmani) is quite sharp.
On the whole, Sajana is a dull fare.
Released on 27-6-’25 at Metro Inox (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru AA Films. Publicity & opening: weak.
