Predictable Plot!
Pardhi tribal Surangi (Atisha Naik) hopes to keep her son Avlya (Nilesh Borse) on the straight path, but he falls in love with Tolak (Vasantika Walanke), the daughter of Dorlya (Shashank Shende).Bandookya (Namdeo Murkute) also falls in love with Tolak,who marries Avlya but the problems start when Avlya has to cough up dowry money as per the Pardhi custom and Tolak becomes a pawn in the ensuing power play.

PLUS POINTS
Atisha Naik and Namdeo Murkute overact. Nilesh and Vasantika are natural, while Shashank seals the scenes.

MINUS POINTS:
The film’s dialogue is filled with profanities, though it is a love story and should have been treated as such.

THE VERDICT:
It has a bleak chance at the box office with its dark regressive plot.
