Iris Productions and Rajendra Talak Creations’ Miranda House (Marathi; UA) is a revenge story.
Vikram (Sainkeet Kamat) wants to avenge his father’s suicide by killing the person who had led his father to commit suicide.
Like Vikram, his father, Laxman Khedekar (Dr. Ajay Vaidya), was also an accomplished painter. Samarth Bandodkar (Milind Gunaji), owner of Miranda House, had forced Laxman Khedekar to paint exclusively for him. Burdened by the pressure and exclusivity, Laxman Khedekar had ended his life.
Vikram gets messages on his cell phone from an unknown girl, Mohini, to meet her on the beach. Mohini is actually Priya (Pallavi Subhash) who has been hired by Samarth BandodÂkar to get four prized paintings of LaxÂman Khedekar from Vikram. But Mohini alias Priya does not do what’s asked of her. Ultimately, Vikram and Priya reach Miranda House where Samarth is waiting for them. What happens thereafter?
Rajendra Talak’s story is juvenile. The story neither engages the audiÂence nor keeps them interested. His screenplay is boring and often predicÂtable. Where it is not predictable, it is a bit weird. Ajit Deshmukh’s dialogues are okay.
Sainkeet Kamat does not have the looks of a hero. As Vikram, his perÂformance, however, is good. Pallavi Subhash has acted well as Priya/Mohini. Milind Gunaji is quite nice as Samarth Bandodkar. Dr. Ajay Vaidya (as Laxman Khedekar) and the rest lend ordinary support.
Rajendra Talak’s direction is rather dull. Ashok Patki’s background music is functional. Cinematography (by Suraj Chandrakant Kurade) is good. Ajit Dandekar’s art direction is appropriate. Vardhan Dhaimodkar’s editing is loose.
On the whole, Miranda House is a poor fare and will meet with a disastrous fate.
Released on 17-4-’19 at City Light (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Rajat Enterprises. PubliÂcity & opening: very poor.
