Redbell Media and Panorama Studios’ Swapnasundari (Marathi; UA) is a romantic drama.
A young man, Raghav (Bhushan Pradhan), has fixed ideas about the kind of wife he wants. That is why he wants to spend a month living with the girl before deciding whether he wants to marry her. Mansi (Sayli Patil) lives with him for a month but she isn’t his type. However, he starts liking her because she cares for him after he meets with an accident. Does Raghav marry Mansi?
Akshay Jaysingrao Shinde’s story doesn’t quite impress because it appears to be neither here nor there. His screenplay, with additional screenplay by Tushar Gunjal, is alright but Raghav’s confusion should’ve been more pronounced. In the way it is written, the screenplay looks quite simplistic and not half as entertaining as it should’ve been. There should have been a good element of humour in the drama. Tushar Gunjal’s dialogues are okay.
Bhushan Pradhan performs ably as Raghav. Sayli Patil looks pretty and acts well in the role of Mansi. Ashok Shinde is alright as Raghav’s father. Shilpa Navalkar lends average support as Raghav’s mother. Satish Mahadev Gejage does an average job as Raghav’s business partner, Harshad. Madhavi Juvekar is ordinary as househelp Seema. Others pass muster.
Akshay Jaisingrao Shinde’s direction is very routine. Ankush Boradkar’s music is nothing to dance about. Lyrics (Shrirang Godbole, Prashant Madpuwar, Hemant Ashok Pawar (Hemantasya), Sachin Kadam and Sachin Patil) are okay. Yash-Sapan’s song picturisations are average. Aditya Bedekar’s background music is quite effective. Shiva B.K. Kumar’s camerawork is alright. Mahesh Laxman Kore’s production designing is so-so. Pradeep Patole’s editing ought to have been sharper.
On the whole, Swapnasundari will not be able to impress the audience.
Released on 24-7-’26 at Plaza (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay by Panorama Studios. Publicity: so-so. Opening: poor.
