Can love happen twice? Thrice?
akshay_bhargava24 June 2013
A story of a man who is getting divorce and a woman who failed to have a successful married life. Twice. The character of this woman is played by Sagarika Ghatge (Sonal).

Atul Kulkarni plays the character of Ram, a writer who is very emotional and is trying to save his married life and asking his wife a last chance. Later, this writer appoints Sonal as an assistant in his office. Then the journey begins.

Unlike other Satish Rajwade movies, the story of this movie has no twists and turns. We know what will be the end of the story but the unfolding of the story, superb acting by all and the dialogues make this movie is a soothing experience. The difference thing is Satish Rajwade himself acts in this movie as Swaraj. He played the character superbly(Afterall a Director!). He drives the movie.

Sagarika Ghatge is well known for her role in 'Chak De India'. But the problem is the kind of expressions, which a Marathi Movie needs, are not given by her. Marathi actors are stage actors and in this movie many times I saw Expressionless face of her. The other thing is the face of Atul Kulkarni is very innocent and the Sagarika looks like a model. Even in the movie poster you can compare it.

So, You will love this movie if you are an emotional person but will not rate it much higher if you love the typical Satish Rajwade movies like Mumbai-Pune-Mumbai, serials like Eka Lagnachi Dusari Gosht!

Shudh Shakahari Love Story :P
gaurav-manojpatel29 July 2013
This is story of two individual, one who is trying to save his marriage and another who wants divorce (not with each other). Ram (Atul Kulkarni) is a writer, who writes script for movies. His wife Ragini (Sulekha Talvalkar) is an aspiring actress and thinks her carrier is anchored down because she is married and is not getting any help or support from her in-laws. And she wants divorce as she what's to be a successful. Sonal (Sagarika Ghatge) has troubled marriage and she has lost faith in marriage and tries to get divorced from Samit (Ajay Purkar). She is low in spirit and to get over her situation her friend Meera (Meera Welankar) suggest to get a job. Sonal applies for an associate job in Ram's office and gets it. After spending some time with Ram, Sonal starts liking him, but was scared to express her felling to him. Simultaneously Ram also realize that he likes Sonal and when he tries to express his feeling to Sonal, Smit comes back in Sonal's life and woo her to give another try to their troubled marriage. Meanwhile Ragini also realized her mistake and tries to come back in Ram's life. Sonal comes back to Samit's house but she is always sad. Whereas Ragini realized that Ram no longer in love with her, but he loves Sonal. She tells Ram to go and express his feelings to Sonal. Sonal also realize that she cannot live without Ram and at the end they both tells each other...

Acting of Atul as simple boy next door is very impressive. Sagarika performance is OK, many a time her face were expressionless.

Overall very well said story, good acting and simple dialogs makes movie a soothing experience and has all Satish Rajwade signature.

If you are emotional persona and likes Rom-com go for this movie.

Definitely Worth It -- Understated, Lovely Film
BollyReview21 January 2015
Premachi Goshta is a 2013 Marathi romance film starring Atul Kulkarni and Sagarika Ghatge.

As soon as I read the plot of this film on wikipedia and the reference to A Midsummer Night's Deam, I knew I had to see it. And I'm happy to say that the film did not disappoint. The story is about Ram (Atul) and Sonal (Sagarika) who meet accidentally at the marriage counselor's office as they are both divorcing from their respective partners. They have a short discussion there about their viewpoints on marriage which are exactly the opposite. Ram believes that separation is not a solution to problems and that even if people separate, love will remain. Sonal believes that marriage is a terrible institution and should be avoided completely. Chance has them meet once more when Sonal goes to apply for a job and sees Ram having chai in front of that office. The rest of the story is about how these two slowly fall in love and struggle to understand their emotions and express them.

The most wonderful part about this film is that the characters are fantastic. Both characters were so well developed that it's as though the writer knew each and every thought and emotion occurring to them. The chemistry between Ram and Sonal, their discussions, their knowing glances are truly delightful to watch. There is also the fact that films and stories are like a character in the film. When Ram and Sonal are unable to understand their emotions, they do so through the stories they write and the characters in those stories are synonymous with them. The film is not really inspired from A Midsummer Night's Dream but the characters are writing a love story that is similar to Shakespeare's play and hence it's mentioned a few times.

Although the second half seemed to drag just a bit, I truly enjoyed this film. It's easy-going and the characters seem so familiar. The casting for this film is just perfect. Atul Kulkarni literally speaks with his eyes. He has this surprised and lovesick look sometimes that makes the quiet moments and glances in the film deep and emotional. You all know Sagarika right, the girl from Chak De India? The one that reminds us of Kareena Kapoor? She is just fantastic in this film. She performed very naturally and was very impressive.

I highly recommend this film for lovers of the romance genre. I really like the way compatibility and love was portrayed in this film. I also like that it's about separated/divorced people falling in love as most romance films don't take this as a topic. Do catch it when you have the chance.

A simple love story with a unique backdrop; Good acting by Atul Kulkarni
SHSandh22 October 2019
A man and a woman, both married and strangers, become chance acquaintances during their visits to the Marriage Counselor office. Later, the lady gets a job with him, and they become emotionally involved, while struggling with their own estranged marriages.

This is a simple story narrated with a unique backdrop of writing rehashed film stories, mostly for remakes of other movies. An original story sprouts in the mind of the protagonist and that helps to crystallize the growing emotions between him and the lady, who are now working together. Credit should be given to The Director, Satish Rajwade, who wrote the story and acted in the movie.

Atul Kulkarni, twice winner of National Film Awards, was a treat to watch (as Ram). His performance was quite nuanced and effective. The surprise was the 'Chak De India' actress, Sagarika Ghatge, who did quite well in a big role as Sonal. Her appearance was eye catching. She has a great screen presence and is naturally glamorous, more so as she has not been seen in many movies. Rohini Hattangadi (Ram's mother) adds weight to any movie she is a part of. Surekha Talvalkar (as Ragini) did not impress.

The episode where Sonal writes her first scene and is so excited that even though late, she wants Ram to hear it in person right then, seems stretched and superficial.

Three melodious songs croon in the later part of the movie and that adds weight to the emotional situations. It was a pleasant surprise to hear Kailash Kher singing in Marathi.

This movie can be given a miss unless you do not want to pass up on any Atul Kulkarni movie or miss a chance to see Sagarika Ghatge on her rare screen appearance.
