Ranangan

#Ranangan - Happened to watch this on Prime and would like to give myself a pat on the back for making it through the entire film.

Its overly dramatic with a impractical and kinda nonsensical plot.

Everything is over the top - be it Sachin Pilgaonkar’s acting, Swapnil Joshi’s curly locks, the spooky basuri background track or a song featuring Santosh Juvekar, Vaibhav Tatwawadi and of all people Ali Asgar. Really...what were you thinking??

That said, the story has a flow and is tightly woven.

Overall cannot be dismissed as a hopeless flick. Watch if you have immense patience and nothing much to do.

2⭐️ from me.

Sweetness!

#Gulabjaam - Something whose sweet taste slowly grows on you, just like a gulabjaam.

The story is simple but the execution and performances are brilliant. Loved the subtle psychological undertones!

Hats off to the director Sachin Kundalkar for the detailing; *spoiler alert* be it the year on the calendar on the wall or the moped that Radha is seen riding.

Really liked the background score as well. The food shots are just too appetizing for words!!

Sonali Kulkarni is amazing as usual; Siddharth Chandekar is also good though he looks weird in the Harry Potter-esque look towards the end.

Overall, I really liked it.

Almost 4⭐️ from me.
