Lion Heart Productions Pvt. Ltd.’s Tu Maza Kinara (Marathi) is the story of the relationship between a father and his daughter.
Suraj (Bhushan Pradhan) loses his wife, Sharayu (Ketaki Narayan), in a road accident. Their little daughter, Mukta (Keya Ingale), loses her ability to hear and speak, because of the same accident. Suraj now takes extra care of Mukta. Earlier, Suraj was so consumed by his job that he had had no time for Mukta. Anyway, Suraj’s neighbour, Col. Sadanand Tembulkar (Jayraj Nair), takes out a Rs. 1 crore policy in the name of Mukta as he doesn’t have any child. This makes Suraj repent his actions of years back when he had deserted his parents as he had wanted to marry the girl of his choice. A repentant Suraj now returns to his parents.
Christus Stephen’s story is ordinary. The connection between Col. Tembulkar taking a policy in the name of Suraj’s daughter, and Suraj repenting his actions of the past doesn’t quite seem proper. Even otherwise, his story and screenplay are not up to the mark. Chetan Kinjalkar’s dialogues are average.
Bhushan Pradhan is okay as Suraj. Keya Ingale does well as Mukta. Ketaki Narayan is fair as Sharayu. Pranav Raorane lends average support as Abhi. Arun Nalawade shines in a brief role as Suraj’s father. Rekha Rane is so-so as Suraj’s mother. Jayraj Nair is adequate as Col. Sadanand Tembulkar. Simran Khedkar (as Annu), Dipali Malkar (as Varsha Tai), Devanshi Dhamankar (as Sanuja), Sanjay Barve (as Suraj’s boss), Kamlesh Surve (as the security guard), Pallavi Shinde (as the school principal), Rajendra Vidya (as the doctor) and the rest provide ordinary support.
Christus Stephen’s direction is routine. His narration is not as heart-rending as it should’ve been. Music (by Christus Stephen and Santosh Nair) is not very good. The title song is okay. Samruddhi Pandey’s lyrics are ordinary. Sunil Sale’s choreography is not up to the mark. George Joseph’s background music is functional. Eldho Issac’s cinematography is alright. Jaggu Sathe’s stunt scenes are okay. Anil M. Kedar’s art direction is fair. Subodh Narkar’s editing is quite sharp.
On the whole, Tu Maza Kinara is a poor fare.
Released on 31-10-’25 at Gem (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay by UFO Cine Media Network thru August Entertainment. Publicity & opening: poor.
