Devaki’s father(Mohan Joshi), their maid Savita (Smita Tambe), her politician brother Udayrao (Mangesh Desai) and his wife (Suhas Paranjape) are all part of this drama and most of the comedy part is situation based with funny dialogues .
The film is ably directed by Tanaji Ghadge and is well scripted by Arvind Jagtap. The performances are good from all, with Dr.Mohan Agashe putting in a stellar performance as Jhunjarrao Shirke. The shy but flexible Malharrao Shirke has been portrayed in his own style by Subodh Bhave. Hemangi Kavi looks simple but good and acts well. Mangesh Desai, Mohan Joshi, Smita Tambe,Sharad Ponkshe, Bharat Ganeshpure , Suhas Paranjape, support well. Shubhangi Gokhale as Mrs.Shirke is impressive. Arun Kadam as a watchman and Vijay Patwardan as a doctor, are hilarious cameos.
The title song is sung well by Hrishikesh Kamerkar and composed well by Chinar-Mahesh. The cinematography by Surendra Singh is brightly lit with the interiors of the ‘wada’ and the ‘fort’ captured well. The editing by Rupesh Patole succeeds in the film, to get that required momentum for the film. In all, this film is a good entertainer.
