Sweety Satarkar Movie Review : A potpourri of comedy and drama

Story: Free-spirited and bindaas by nature, Sweety is the talk of her college for being mischievous and staying ahead of the boys. Things change when she falls in love with her best friend’s brother. In order to win him over, she embarks on a series of funny adventures.

Review: Sweety Satarkar is high on entertainment quotient, but not in terms of story.The story of a college girl trying to win over a serious guy is not new to the screen, but director Shabbir Naik has managed to make this a somewhat hilarious watch infusing fresh comedy in it.

The first half of the movie follows Sweety’s (Amruta Deshmukh) everyday life in Kolhapur - her campus tussles with boys, her foul temper and fun-filled friendships. She has a huge crush on Shekhar (Sangram Samel), the elder brother of her best friend, and towards the end of the first half, decides to win him over. She tries everything - from cooking sheera (halwa) to wearing a traditional saree to impress him, but Shekhar seems uninterested. Her life takes a turn when she learns that Shekhar is about to get married to his childhood friend. That’s when she decides to up her ante and from then on, the movie gets interesting.

Performance-wise, Amruta is a one-woman army in the film when it comes to making the audience laugh. She does justice to Sweety’s innocent yet quirky personality on-screen. Sangram Samel fits the part of Shekhar too. The USP of the film is its comedy, cinematography and songs that manage to keep it colourful. However, holding the viewer's attention is not something this film does.
