🎥 BANJO REVIEW
Director Ravi Jadhav, who has made his name in Marathi films has now came up with the buzzing shawl culture and captures the pulse of the Mumbai in Banjo. Jadhav keeps Things unpretentious and thus relatable.
Though the story is pretty old cultured. A bunch of musicians winning the fame going against all the odds. They grew, They became famous. Suddenly They fall, the group scattered, again reunion and they came up with a Bang from nowhere. That’s all we had in the movie.
The makers have captured the real essence of Mumbai slums in this movie.
The movie is quite predictable with lack of emotions. Although makers were particular about keeping the music in the center which is Plus point.
For the people who are quite familiar to Mumbai’s working class neighborhood. They’ll be able to see the beauty of Banjo. And also this movie will make you respect the street music a little more.
🎥 RATING
2.5 / 5
