Navra Maza Navsacha 2 Review: Sachin Pilgaonkar brings back the true Maharashtrian family entertainer from the gone days

RATING - ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5*

Navra Maza Navsacha 2 Review

Sachin Sir has formed many memorable moments of my childhood, and the last good-bye was Navra Maza Navsacha (if not Amhi Satpute). Not an original flick, but some amazing fun, and it has gained a cult following over the years among family audiences. He was lost a bit in the middle, but now he is back. Navra Maza Navsacha 2 has an extremely formulaic screenplay and story and falteres with arrangements of the characters very badly. If Vacky and Bhakti are carrying the same story of Navas forward from the 2004 film, then I don't understand how Ashok Saraf, Nirmiti Sawant, Mangle, Wadkar etc. can be seen playing different roles. That's bullshiit! No excuses here.

Now, coming to positive sides, it's not an out-and-out hilarious ride, but it's funny enough. Funny enough to keep you grinning for 2 hours. I don't remember when this happened to me last time. It's been years—almost a decade, I guess. NMN 2 runs on the formulaic plot of the predecessor only to force nostalgia on you. The cameo roles of Johny Lever and Sonu Nigam will tell you why, but still, it was a guilty "pleasure" watching them on screen. The songs aren't good either, but that's okay. I can't really expect a modern-day music album to be as good as NVM 2004, not this but any film. Those days are gone; let's accept it and move ahead with whatever mediocrity we have in our hands.

Thanks to Sachin's wide vision of trying to sum up several Maharashtrian cultures and traditions together on a train journey, with Bappa in the center. Atheism is destroyed for good here. Ashok sir, Sachin sir, Nirmiti Tai, Supriya ma'am, you guys are insane. Evergreen. May Bappa keep you like this forever. Thank you for letting me know that the true Marathi family entertainer is still alive. All it needs is someone who can think like this, kicking intellectual cinema out of his brain. From Mumbai to Pune to Kokan or to Vidarbh, Marathwada, everyone will enjoy it.
