I was surprised to see that this was made in 2016. Marathi movies really need to step up their game from 6th grade school gathering level writing and acting. The plot itself isn't that bad and perhaps could have been even good were it not for the horrendous execution and plotholes.
Considering that Tejaswini Pandit's character's husband and sister were having an affair, why would they still play the ruse when nobody is around? They explained it later that they were waiting for the protagonist to not be in the house. But that doesn't make any sense. The protagonist is on her bed, being monitored in another room entirely, and yet they still pretend when it's not necessary.
The scenes where Prasad Oak talks about "hirva lugda" and whatnot, I had called that this would be later referenced that she never told him about it. Dear writer, I didn't notice it because I am clever, I noticed it because the writing is juvenile and try-hard. As if the writer is a child or a teenager smiling to themselves thinking they're clever when they wrote these 'hints' and 'twists'.
And do you absolutely NEED to put in the cringe with the "Johnny Johnny Yes Papa" bs? In 2016, you would not expect traum, psychosis and schizophrenia (all well-known terms as the movie recognizes) to later devolve into the protagonist acting like a child who twists her hands and baby-talks. I don't know who has the smaller portions of the single brain cell that the characters share. Why they don't see through the pretense of the protagonist at the end, or why the 'clever' gaslighters would be so incompetent to leave in obvious giveaways that it's a ruse (like why the Yamuna character would use their actual dog's name) is beyond me.
Had there not been cringe, had there not been such obvious 'clues', had there not been scenes meant to mislead the audience which end up to be plotholes, had there not been, then maybe there was a chance for this movie to be average at the very least.
