Director: Vijay Devkar
Star Cast: Lokesh Gupte, Jyoti Joshi, Suhas Palshikar, Ganesh Yadav, Chetan Dalvi etc
Genre: Drama
Verdict: AVERAGE

Plot: A village is suffering due to draught since a long time and the end to this problem is nowhere in sight. The villagers daily wait for the tanker to arrive to quench their thirst and to fulfil their other household chores. One of the youth Kisan has come to the village after being sacked due to the recession period in the city.  One of the other youth who has gone to the city dies and now his widow is left to fend for herself and her mother – in – law.  And then Kisan devises a plan with his village bumpkins to bring the village back to normalcy. And in the end all is well that ends well and Kisan too, then decides to tie the Knot with the widow.

Aces: Producer Gaurav Bhanushali along with the director Vijay Devkar deserves a standing ovation for presenting such a realistic and off beat subject especially on the Marathi celluloid silver screen. All the actors have performed their act too sincerely and honestly. A special well deserved mention must be made of Lokesh Gupte as Kisan and Jyoti Joshi as the widow.

Minuses: The only minus point of the film is its snail space. As nothing seems to be moving the way it should. In short the film is too verbose. Besides the director Vijay Devkar should have resisted the temptation of forcefully entering an item song.

Last Word: The prospects of Mungala at the box office looks grim but it will definitely succeed in doing good business in the single theatres & tent cinemas especially of the interiors. That apart the film will win rave reviews and awards galore in the festival circuit.
