Yuvan Productions’ Kadhipatta (Marathi; UA) is the story of reconciliation between a couple which has applied for divorce. Lalit (Bhushan Patil) and Meera (Riddhi Kumar) have applied for divorce. Meera has demanded a house to live in and Rs. 50 lakh in cash. The couple is asked by the court to stay together for six months and consider reconciling with one another. Some shocking revelations about Lalit during the six-month cooling period make Meera realise that she was wrong in assuming that her husband was in an extra-marital relationship. What are the shocking revelations? What happens thereafter?
Vishwaa’s story is predictable and offers no novelty. His screenplay is unexciting and, therefore, the drama doesn’t really engage the viewers. The second half has a couple of emotional scenes, which are good. But other than that, there’s precious little to sustain the viewers’ interest. Vishwaa’s dialogues are ordinary.
Bhushan Patil is okay as Lalit. Riddhi Kumar is so-so as Meera. Akshay Tanksale lends average support as Lalit’s friend, Ritesh. Sanjay Mone and Shubhangi Gokhale are adequate as Lalit’s parents. Gargi Phule does a routine job as Meera’s mother. Ananda Karekar (as Meera’s lawyer), Chetana Bhat (as Lalit’s lawyer), Anand Ingale (as the judge), Gauri Sukhtankar (as Dr. Vidya), Sanika Kashikar (as Meera’s friend, Sarika), Nisha Mane (as Ritesh’s girlfriend/wife, Nisha) and the others do as desired.
Vishwaa’s direction is commonplace. Padmanabh Gaikwad and Ashish Khandal’s music is okay. Lyrics (by Mandar Cholkar, Vinu Sangvan and Mukund Bhalerao) are functional. Tanmay Bhide’s background music is too routine to merit separate mention. Aniket Khandagale’s cinematography is alright. Kamlesh Chhaburao Mokal’s art direction is so-so. Rushiraj Joshi’s editing is found lacking.
On the whole, Kadhipatta is a flop fare.
Released on 7-11-’25 at Plaza (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Cinepolis India. Publicity & opening: poor.
