One line Review: Excellent performances by the star cast, sluggish and weak plot along with a soul less storyline. Positive Points: Realistic and remarkable performances by all the actors, the background score and music. The concept is unique and very different from the mainstream Bollywood cinema. Negative Points: The film constantly goes into flashbacks which takes you away from the plot. The slow and dull second half, disappointing loose ends of the film, some illogical sequences. Plot: The story revolves around the film's central character Mandar Ponkshe (Gulshan Devaiah). It is a journey of a guy who is a sex addict and hits on every other girl he meets or sees. As a teenager Mandar is influenced by his elder cousin and starts the so-called 'vasugiri' since his adolescence years. Watching the first adult film, seeking pleasure by watching girls, physical relationships, Mandar's lust just keeps on growing with years. Veera Saxena's character is seems quite unreal as his luring girlfriend due to some illogical sequences like their ridiculous unplanned first encounter. As in which girl smiles shyly when an unknown guy suddenly some what forcibly jumps into her auto? Also the silly scene when he tries to touch her lustfully; though these things suit aptly on Ponkshe's creepy personality. The story of Mandar's life continues to be 'eventful' in the course of which he meets Jyotsna (Sai Tamhankar), a married woman with who he has a torrid affair. Jyotsna is unhappy with her husband and lives in the same society as Mandar during his college days. Later when the middle class Maharashtrian hero plans to settle down he meets several girls like in a typical arrange marriage scenario but gets rejected after revealing about his past affairs. There is a positive twist in the plot when Mandar meets Trupti (Radhika Apte). Will Mandar genuinely fall for Trupti and marry her? Or will he continue his Vasugiri is a further watch in the film. Direction and other Technical Aspects: Taking up this controversial concept, director Harshavardhan Kulkarni has done a brave job. The story telling is slow and laidback. The setting, back ground score and music is appreciable. There are a few loose ends and loop holes in the script. Though the presentation is quite acceptable and intelligent at certain slots but a strong plot could have been developed with crisp writing. Performances: Almost all the actors gave a realistic performance in the movie. Starting with Gulshan Devaiah, he is exceptional as Mandar and does not even act out of character for a brief moment. Radhika Apte is perfect as Trupti who is confident, simple yet a modern-day woman. The renowned Marathi actress Sai Tamhankar who plays the role of a Hot Bhabhi is brilliant in every frame. She essays her role as Jyotsna, a married woman convincingly and believably. Music: The songs in the film come at the correct timing and are precisely composed. The title track is an apt one which ideally suits the plot. 'Chori Chori' is a cute romantic song by Arijit Singh and Sona Mohapatra. 'Naa Heer and Hur' and 'Bachpan' are another decent melodies from the film. Final Verdict: The film 'Hunterrr' as the name suggests is the story of lustful desires of a man. There is nothing much to experience in the film and it is definitely not for the family audience. The film portrays some realistic performances and is worth watch only for the star cast. The movie gives a strong message for woman to beware from such typical 'Vasu' types guys! For the brave attempt of the director, I would go with 2 out of 5 stars.
External Reviews
The big wide world may have seen a rash of sex addiction films of late (Shame, Don Jon, Nymphomaniac, Thanks for Sharing), but the most prolific movie industry on the planet has steered clear of the complex territory for obvious reasons. Commercial Indian cinema is usually averse to themes that demand more than just nodding acquaintance with the psychological realities of deviant human behaviour.
The film Hunterrr chooses to use the word Vaasu -- taken from the Sanskrit word vasana, meaning 'truly stubborn desire' -- and treats it like commonly used slang. "I am a vaasu," says the man with great revelatory import, trying to tell the woman he loves that he is a sex addict.
If you thought that 'sex' was a forbidden word in Bollywood, then pinch yourself hard and think again. For these are the days when Bollywood filmmakers have taken a giant leap and have graduated into many other arenas which are gustier than the three lettered forbidden word. The recent era has witnessed Bollywood spinning many a sex comedies in the form of KYAA KOOL HAIN HUM, KYAA SUPER KOOL HAIN HUM, GRAND MASTI and likes.
Gentleman, brace yourselves. Harshavardhan Kulkarni's Hunterrr could be your wet dream. Not because it's chock-a-block with sexual encounters - there's only one sex scene in this so-called "adult comedy" - but because Hunterrr is set in a world that is made up of fantasies.
'Hunterrr' is about a guy who can't keep it in his pants. For Bollywood, where repression masquerading as respectability is still largely the name of the mainstream game, to create a leading man who can confess to being led by his nether regions, is, um, uplifting. But the sheer unevenness of the proceedings shows just how difficult it is to go all the way in this kind of film, where a man is a hunterrr, tick, and a woman, well, prey.
Meet Mandar (Gulshan Devaiah). He who believes that sex is an act of 'necessity' much like going to the loo daily. The sex addict's way of admiring female beauty is to ogle at them, occasionally surreptitiously but mostly shamelessly. It isn't easy to warm up to a character who spends a chunk of the film's running time lewdly hitting on women or trying to or getting laid. Mandar's insatiable carnal desires do land him in trouble.
