Time please (टाईम प्लीज)

"Time please (टाईम प्लीज)"

Watched Marathi movie "Time please (टाईम प्लीज)".

This film is directed by Samir Vidwans and stars Umesh Kamat, Priya Bapat, Siddharth Jadhav, Sai Tamhankar, Vandana Gupte, Seema Deshmukh and Milind Phatak. Music is composed by multiple music directors. This movie is based on Marathi play 'Nava gadi nava rajya (नवा गडी नवं राज्य)'

Umesh and Priya have arranged marriage. Umesh is mature,  serious, working professional. Priya is still like a college girl,  fun loving,  not interested in house work. Entry of two characters changes the situation. Priya's best friend, Siddharth, who appears villager but is a fellow at Oxford and Umesh's college friend, cigarette smoking,  Sai. A series of events lead them to think that they are incompatible.

Priya excels in her role. Umesh does justice but can't scream when angry,  Siddharth acts easily but his flamboyance is overdone,  Sai under plays the role and impresses. Vandana Gupte is mostly wasted. 

Most of the movie happens indoors but the outdoor locations are carefully chosen. Sometimes, the set is apparent. Music is ok. 

Direction,  however, is found short. Director had a golden opportunity to make a profound statement. But he misses it and makes the movie more superficial. He could have used character of Vandana Gupte more effectively. He also struggles to tie the loose ends. There are continuity issues. When Priya's mom tells her why she does not get transferred to Pune, audience comes to know that she works and works out of Pune. How does she know to go to the rendezvous on her birthday.? Editing needs improvement.

Any novelty? For all titles, names are written in English and surnames in Marathi. Don't know why,  but that's the novelty. 

Give it a miss.
