GHAATH’ (MARATHI) REVIEW

In the film Ghaath (Marathi; A), which was produced by Drishyam Films, Platoon One Films, Innoventures, Paytamasha, and UA Kathachitra, the subject matter is the Naxalites and their conflict with the law enforcement authorities.

Itendra Joshi, the Assistant Commissioner of Police in Nagpur, has been stationed in an area that is riddled with Naxals, and he is eager to return to the city where his family resides. However, in order to demonstrate that he has valuable contributions to make, he must first either kill or arrest at least one Naxalite. Raghunath, played by Milind Shinde, is fed up with his life as a Naxalite and is eager to withdraw from the criminal underworld. As a result, he plots his own murder and employs ACP Nagpure in the process. Nagpure murders Perku, an Adivasi who lives in the forests, and then lets it pass off as the murder of a Naxalite so that he may go back to the city to be with his family. Janardan Kadam is the actor who plays Perku. Raghunath believes that he may take advantage of the chance to escape the Naxalite environment and begin a new life with Kusari (Suruchi Adarkar), the woman he loves. But is Kusari interested in being married to Raghunath? How did Raghunath come to be a part of the Naxal movement? Additionally, his brother Falgun, who is played by Dhananjay Mandaokar, is a member of the Naxal organisation.

Chhatrapal Ninawe has written a narrative that is very engaging; nevertheless, it is necessary to point out that there are instances when it became complicated. Although Ninawe's script is highly captivating, the drama is more intriguing to a select audience than it is to a large number of people because of its basic nature. Due to the absence of the typical elements that are included in a masala film, such as romance, humor, and emotions, the drama will only appeal to a small portion of the audience. Despite the fact that the screenplay manages to keep the audience engaged, it is indisputable that the subject matter is dull and gloomy, and as a result, it is not something that everyone would consider to be entertaining. The dialogues that Chhatrapal Ninawe and Vikas Mudki have written are of a satisfactory quality.

Performing the part of ACP Nagpure, Jitendra Joshi shines well. In the role of Naxalite Raghunath, Milind Shinde performs an excellent job. The portrayal of Perku by Janardan Kadam is quite natural. In the role of Kusari, Suruchi Adarkar manages to shine. Falgun is portrayed by Dhananjay Madaokar, who makes a strong impact. Lalu Pendam, who plays the role of Kalu, Rahul Gawande, who plays Masram, Kajal Rangari, who plays Kunjam, Ajay Lonare, who plays Raka, Vandana Jiwane, who plays Kusari's mother, Vikas Mudki, who plays hawaldar Mudki, Vinod Raut, who plays the police commissioner, and Chhatrapal Ninawe, who plays Naxal head Somaji, all provide the required assistance.

As is the case with the narrative, Chhatrapal Ninawe's directing will appeal to a select few members of the audience since it is appealing to a certain social class. The background music composed by Madhur Padwal is of high quality. The cinematography of Udit Khurana is very much captivating. The production designing done by Dyandeo Indulkar is really acceptable. Editing done by Navnita Sen is quite precise.

In general, Ghaath is a picture that is well-made; nevertheless, its chances of being successful at the box office are not very good since it is more of a film for film enthusiasts than it is for the general public.
