Shubham Production’s Sshort And Ssweet (Marathi) is about a young man who longs to meet his father, but when he finally does meet him, it’s a question of whether he will be able to accept him as a father.
Sanju (Harshad Atkari) has been brought up by his mother, Tanvi (Sonali Kulkarni). He yearns to meet his father. One day, when he does come face-to-face with his father, he is dumbfounded. Is he able to accept the man as his father? Why did his mother not reveal his father’s identity for so many years?
Swapnil Baraskar has written a story and screenplay which may have shock value but they lack the entertainment quotient. In a way, they are quite depressing too. His dialogues are okay.
Sonali Kulkarni does a fine job as Tanvi. Harshad Atkari is alright as Sanju. Rasika Sunil, Shridhar Watsar, Onkar Bhojane, Tushar Khair and Ajit Bhure provide average support.
Ganesh Dinkar Kadam’s direction is so-so. Santosh Mulekar’s music is functional while his background score is okay. Mangesh Kangne’s lyrics are alright. Rahul Janardhan Jadhav’s camerawork is average. Anant Sutar’s art direction is nothing to shout about. Deepak Marou’s editing is loose.
On the whole, Sshort And Ssweet is a flop show.
Released on 3-11-’23 at Plaza (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru August Entertainment. Publicity & opening: weak.
