On Your Spot Productions and Phantasmagoria Films’ Tarri (Marathi; UA) is the story of a fearless and hot-tempered man.
Sangram (Lalit Prabhakar) is hot-tempered and doesn’t think twice before taking on anyone. Frustrated with his showdowns, Sangram’s father (Shashank Shende) throws him out of the house. Sangram lives with his friend, Pai (Yogesh Dimbale). Sangram’s girlfriend, Sonal (Gauri Nalawade), is also not happy with his hot-headedness. An incident, however, changes Sangram who now decides to turn over a new leaf. In his new avatar, he tries to help a doctor who has been wronged. What happens thereafter?
Mahesh Ravsaheb Kale has written a story which doesn’t really have much meaning. His screenplay is also routine and lacks high points. Perhaps, the best part of the drama is the action. Kale’s dialogues are okay.
Lalit Prabhakar does well as the hot-headed Sangram. Gauri Nalawade is okay as Sonal. Yogesh Dimbale lends fair support as Pai. Shashank Shende makes his presence felt in the role of Sangram’s father. Anil Nagarkar is adequate as the MLA. Others are routine.
Mahesh Ravsaheb Kale’s direction is ordinary. Music (Prafull Karlekar and Swapnil Godbole) is nothing to dance about. While the title song is so-so, others are dull. The duo’s background score is ordinary. Lyrics (Guru Thakur and Kshitij Patwardhan) are average. Phulwa Khamkar’s choreography is just about ordinary. Amol Gole’s camerawork is alright. Aejaz-Gulab’s action and stunt scenes are well-composed but they are in excess. Nanabhau More’s art direction hardly deserves separate mention. Editing (by Pravin Jahagirdar, Shriram Badave and Pavan Theurkar) ought to have been sharper.
On the whole, Tarri is a flop show.
Released on 17-2-’23 at Plaza (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Panorama Studios. Publicity & opening: poor.
