Story & Screenplay

Fussclass Dabhade! is a family drama that unfolds against the backdrop of a wedding in the Dabhade family. As relatives gather, old wounds and unresolved conflicts resurface. Prashant (Amey Wagh) is set to marry Komal (Rajasi Bhave), while his elder sister Jayashree (Kshitee Jog) struggles with infertility and a failed IVF attempt.

Their brother Kiran (Siddharth Chandekar) returns after two years, still bitter over his broken love affair with cousin Madhuri (Mitali Mayekar), whom he blames his father, Sadanand (Rajan Bhise), As the drama progresses, each sibling faces personal challenges: Prashant’s intimacy issues, Jayashree’s emotional breakdown, and Kiran’s encounter with his happily married ex-lover Madhuri. Ultimately, Madhuri’s advice to Kiran, Jayashree’s acceptance of her reality, and Prashant’s realisation help the three siblings reconcile, bringing closure to their conflicts.

Hemant Dhome’s story and screenplay lack conviction and depth. The issues faced by the siblings feel disconnected from one another, diluting the emotional core of the film. The sibling bonding, which should have been the heart of the narrative, never feels authentic or moving. The dialogues, despite being written for a family drama, fail to leave an emotional mark.

Performances

Amey Wagh shines as Prashant, portraying his vulnerability with conviction.
Siddharth Chandekar delivers a solid performance as Kiran.
Kshitee Jog impresses with her controlled and heartfelt act as Jayashree.
Rajan Bhise (Sadanand) and Nivedita Saraf (Sulochana) provide decent support, with Saraf leaving a stronger impact.
Harish Dudhade has some effective moments as Sachin.
Rajasi Bhave is natural and effortless as Komal.
Mitali Mayekar is passable as Madhuri, while Suyog Gorhe (Vaibhav) makes a mark in a small role.
Trupti Shedge adds freshness as Manju, Komal’s friend.
Usha Nadkarni and Kalabai Nakti lend fair support as the elderly family members.Overall, performances are competent, though none stand out strongly enough to elevate the weak script.

Technical Aspects

Direction: Hemant Dhome’s direction is average. He fails to craft the kind of emotional intensity and family warmth the subject demands.
Music: Amitraj’s compositions and Kshitij Patwardhan’s lyrics are functional but unmemorable. Sujit Kumar’s choreography is decent.
Background Score: Aditya Bedekar’s score could have added more weight but remains underwhelming.
Cinematography: Satyajeet Shobha Shriram’s camerawork captures family settings well but doesn’t stand out.
Editing: Faisal Mahadik’s editing is uneven and could have been sharper to maintain engagement.
Production Design: Shamim Khopkar’s work is serviceable, fitting the family drama tone.

Verdict

Fussclass Dabhade! sets out to be an emotional family drama but falls short due to its unconvincing writing, underwhelming direction, and lack of impactful moments. While the performances, particularly by Amey Wagh, Siddharth Chandekar, and Kshitee Jog, are good, the overall film feels ordinary and superficial.

⭐ Rating: 2/5
