Hunterrr (2015)
6/10
The raunchy adventures of Hunterrr...
14 May 2015
Hunterrr is a fine sex-comedy boosted by great performances and dialogues. It is way above the league of typical Bollywood films in the genre such as Grand Masti or Kya Super Kool Hai Hum. The writing is quite strong and has good balance explicit jokes and relationship drama. Gulshan Devaiah plays Mandar Ponkshe aka The Hunterrr or 'Vaasu' as he calls himself, meaning a person who cant control sex and does it whenever possible without thinking about the consequences. We follow his adventures from his puberty to his current relationship which is quite a mess. There is a lot of back and forth switching of timeline in the screenplay which I feel was effectively done. We see his relation with 3 women played elegantly by Veera Saxena, Sai Tamhankar and Radhika Apte. The actor playing the young hunterrr has also done fine job and the whole childhood memory part I liked the most in the film. The acting is first rate plus the retro music and songs are thrillingly enjoyable. Still, the pacing is a bit slow and the run-time of 140 minutes felt a bit too long. It loses grip in second half after a strong first half. The entire run-time is not a sleazy wild ride, there is sentimentality and romance mixed up with an interesting yet predictable climax. In the end, Hunterr is good enough for some laughs and to relish the excellent performance of Gulshan Devaiah who does great justice to character of Hunterr making us like him despite his deeds. I think Hunterrr is a cult hit!
