Cast: Jitendra Joshi, Milind Shinde, Janardan Kadam, Dhananjay Mandaokar and Suruchi Adarkar Director: Chhatrapal Ninawe Language: Marathi In recent times, Marathi cinema has come up with great stories resulting in impeccable executions. Ghaath grabbed my eyeballs when it took centre stage at the Berlin Film Festival. While the trailer garnered curiosity among the audience, does it live up to its hype? Let’s find out.
.. Deori village, which is under the control of Maoists, is considered to be hell for police officers.
The only way to get a transfer from there is you have to arrest a Maoist. ACP Nagpure (Jitendra Joshi) wants to get a transfer to Pune so that he can be with his wife and daughter. One day, suddenly news comes out that Nagpure has killed Raghunath (the leader of one of the Maoist groups).
After that, Raghunath’s brother Falgun plans to take revenge on Nagpure and makes strategic plans to assassinate him. One day, he chases him to another island and after reaching a hut, he finds that Raghunath is alive and has some connection with Nagpure. Well, what’s that connection, which has a solid twist? While the drama and intensity are always high in this raw thriller, surprise twists have added more punch to the narrative.
Kudos to director Chhatrapal Ninawe for his storytelling and for sketching out the depth of the characters, which are earthy, real, and impactful. Through pale light and desaturated colours, Ninawe transforms us into the world, where we are with.
