Ever since the launch of its promo around a month back, there was good excitement created by Phuntroo. A Marathi sci-fi flick that is set in a campus, the film is an urban tale of a youngster who finds love in the most unexpected of places. The film has released over the weekend gone by and has managed to find good critical and commercial response coming its way.
Starring Madan Deodhar [Balak-Palak] and Ketaki Mategaonkar [Timepass], popular names in Marathi cinema, the film has a unique stage, setting and narrative as its strengths. Directed by Sujay Dahake, the film has marked a successful entry for producer Krishika Lulla into the world of Marathi films.
Even as the accolades are coming her and the film’s way, Krishika isn’t resting. She has already unveiled the promo of her next Marathi film, which is interestingly titled & Zara Hatke.
“This film too is based on a very interesting concept.
