Surya Film World’s Man Aatale Manatale (Marathi; UA) is the story of hidden emotions and unspoken love.
Surren Mahapatra has penned a story which simply fails to appeal. Manoj Sudhakar Yeunkar’s screenplay is so weak that the drama just doesn’t engage or involve the viewers. Even Manoj Sudhakar Yeunkar’s dialogues are not up to the mark.
Mansi Naik does well as Pari. Surren Mahapatra is average as Jeet. Ruturaj Phadke is alright as Sanjay. Sandeep Gaikwad lends decent support. Upendra Limaye makes a mark. Arun Nalawade leaves a fine impression. Yatin Karyekar provides decent support. Kamlesh Sawant has his moments. Others pass muster.
James Anthony’s direction is weak. Abhijit Majumdar’s music is nothing to dance about and the same goes for the lyrics (Dr. Sunanda Dhivare Palwankar). Florence Hamilton and Kabir’s choreography is ordinary. A.S. Ambuselvan and Saurav Simon’s background music is functional. Sudarshan Senapati’s camerawork is ordinary. Amit J. Naikar’s action and stunts are okay. Malaya and Bipin’s editing should’ve been sharper.
On the whole, Man Aatale Manatale is a flop show.
Released on 13-2-’26 at Gem (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Sunshine Studios. Publicity & opening: very weak.
