Review of Shikari

Shikari (2018)
1/10
Nobel intention does not give one the license to make a bad product
8 November 2020
A lady aspires to be an actress, but on the way of achieving it she is exploited by the scrupulous element associated with it. Does she succeed in it is what the rest of the film shows. Despite the noble intention that the film tries to showcase, the end result of the film can be termed as an disappointment, as it was only a body show for the lead actress.

What saddens is, acclaimed actors like Prasad Oak, Bharat Ganeshpure, Bhau Kadam, Vaibhav Mangle & Mrunmayee Deshpande are badly wasted or utilized and one would feel that they acted only for the monetary benefit & to add it, the atrocious songs the film had. Meanwhile actors like Siddharath Jadhav & Suvrat Joshi hammed to such an extent that, there mere presence would irritate an individual & the female protagonist Neha Khan was just there to display her body.

The film retains my inhibition about the films directed or produced by Mahesh Manjrekar. Except for Vaastav & Matichya Chuli there hasn't been any film of his that has kept me excited. The same happened when i saw the biography on Pu La Deshpande, due to this reason i have refrained his directorial venture NataSamrat.

If more films like Shikari are made then it would definitely bring down the standard of Marathi Cinema, when films like Dhurala, Masala & Ani Kashinath Ghanekar are trying to raise the standards of the industry.
