A great tale of Love and Friendship.
Sri33355528 September 2013
Set against the backdrop of the late 70s, director Sanjay Jadhav introduces us to his lead characters in a Pune college campus. Digya, (Ankush Chaudhary) and Shreyas ( Swapnil Joshi) are as separate as chalk and cheese and quite naturally start off as enemies.

While Digya is a temperamental college rowdy, Shreyas is the well behaved, calm student. However, one event sees them become the thickest of pals and they are part of a larger gang, which rules the campus. Their Kata (a bench) near a tea stall is their Adda, and this is where they discuss life, love and scores to be settled. This is where they realize that yaari is more important than duniyadari.

While the seeds of this friendship are blossoming beautifully, two beautiful girls enter their lives. Shireen ( Sai Tamhankar) is a medical student, who Shreyas loves and Meenu ( Urmila Kanetkar) is another student in love with Shreyas. As various twists and turns in the plot finally sees true love prevail, what Duniyadari also shows is that friends are for life and they will be there with you through thick and thin.

As a whole Sanjay Jadhav manages to pull off this friendship film with ease. Confusion, pathos, sacrifice and the mystery in love too are portrayed well and engage the audience for most of the time. However, if the number of twists were reduced, the film would be taut and more gripping.

But, making up for these little deficiencies is the peppy music and acting by all the stars. While Swapnil looks and act the cute part to the T, Ankush Chaudhary holds his own aura and has a screen presence that is truly riveting. While Sai and Urmila shine, it has to be said that in the current crop of actors, when it comes to sporting the sad, betrayed look Sai wins hands down.

powar-kedar29 September 2013
The story set back in the late 70s, Shreyas Talvalkar (Swapnil Joshi)gets admitted to a college in pune where he meets Digambar Shankar Patil aka DSP(Ankush Choudhary)and and his Katta gang. Shirin Ghatge (Sai Tamhankar)a medical student whose father is a politician gets attracted towards Shreyas Talvalkar and both fell in love with each other. DSP who is shown to be Gund of the college frequently fights with Sainath Dedgavkar (Jitendra Joshi). DSP having an affair with Surekha who is studying in his college. When a guy tries to propose Surekha, DSP beats him and during this fight, Shreyas gets caught by Inspector Inamdar and gets slapped by him. The Katta gang then plans to take revenge of slap of Inamdar by getting Minakshi Inamdar (Urmila Kanitkar)involve in love of Shreyas who is daughter of Inspector Inamdar. Their plan works perfectly and she fell in love with Shreyas. The story of the movie revolve around the love triangle of Shreyas,Shirin and Minakshi. The movie is full of true friendship, emotions, feelings and love, from start to end it will keep you a gripping on your seats. The end of the movie is heart touching when shrini marries to shreyas despite of his illness. The direction of the movie is excellent. All the characters of the movie has delivered stunning performances. At no point you will feel bore.A movie is far better than typical Bollywood drama movie. I must say A new era of marathi movie has begun. A movie that can be watched again and again.....

A Perfect Movie
DeepakNumber15 October 2013
Very rarely you come across a film like this – where you get all the elements of movie genre – Comedy, Action, Romance, Emotion, Drama, Thrill.. and fortunately the movie is able to exhibit all these elements at its finest. The detailing, background score & music also needs a special mention, along with editing, choreography & cinematography. The whole package gives you an awesome experience. I had watched this movie 3 times & found it refreshing every time. If to be compared with any Hindi movie, I think this one fits into the caliber of 'Dil chahta hai' OR '3 idiots' No Less then 10/10. Just Enjoy!
