Review: With Vikun Taak, director Sameer Patil who gave us Poshter Boyz, Shentimental and Poshter Girl, continues his tradition of comedies movie with a social message. With the bank waiting to seize his property and wedding cancelled, Mukund (Shivraj Waichal) gets introduced to the art of selling scrap through an app, just as his life starts to unravel. But things really get out of hand when he receives a credit of `50 lakhs from Abdul Latif (Chunky Panday), who wants a kidney!

Sameer Patil has delivered a complete package once again. Though the movie is about the rollercoaster life of the protagonist, it’s a smooth experience for the viewers. Though it gets off to a slow start, the story picks up at a steady pace and has the audience hooked by the interval.

Despite having less screen time, Chunky Panday delivers a good performance and leaves an impression with his unique dialogue delivery. Shivraj does justice to his character, but Hrishikesh Joshi, who plays a corrupt police inspector, does not convince.

While the film delivers quite a few laughs, it is not a laughter riot owing to its underlying social message. There are also a few serious and emotional scenes. But Sameer Patil does a good job of weaving all this together, and the result is a refreshing film that delivers a message without being preachy.
