Swapna Swaroop and Ambat Bandhu Company’s Asurvan (Marathi; UA) is a suspense thriller.
A young outsider is disturbed by unsettling events taking place in a village ruled by ancient Adivasi beliefs and rituals. He sets out to uncover the truth behind a superstitious belief which is centuries-old. Is it easy for him?
Sachin Ramchandra Ambat’s story is routine and so is his lazy screenplay. The drama progresses without really entertaining the viewers. The suspense fails to involve the audience much. Ambat’s dialogues are routine.
Anuj Thakare is ordinary. Dipti Dhotre passes muster. Suraj Nevrekar is so-so. Vishwas Patil lends average support. Vipul Salunkhe is passable. Others fit the bill.
Sachin Ramchandra Ambat’s direction is dull. Music (Rohit Nanaware and Sachin Ramchandra Ambat) is ordinary. Sachin Ramchandra Ambat’s lyrics are functional. Harshad Wagh’s choreography hardly deserves separate mention. Abhishek Kate’s background music is not really music to the ears. Ravi Uchhe’s camerawork is okay. Pravin Chindarkar’s production designing is below the mark. Sachin Ramchandra Ambat’s editing leaves something to be desired.
On the whole, Asurvan is a dull fare and will not be able to do anything worthwhile at the turnstiles.
Released on 5-12-’25 at Movie Time Goregaon (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru AP Communications. Publicity & opening: poor.
