However, the Upendra Limaye playing as the inspector Kadu in the movie acts as a catalyst as he devises ways to catch Rahul.
This film handles the topic which is relevant and heartbreaking as well. Though the story is real you might think something that has happened in real life. Farmers, especially who live near the big cities are forced to sell off their agricultural land. Characters in the Mulshi Pattern have different shades. The script is strong as the story. The dialogues have been written very well and seems to be very natural. The show stealer is Om Bhutkar. He has done the phenomenal job. He has imbibed Rahul’s character. His feelings of rage, frustration, and then arrogance are palpable on the screen. The other characters such as Mohan Joshi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Pravin Tarde etc. are excellent as well and portray their character with conviction.
While this movie is way more than just gang wars and crime, a few scenes are a little violent, which may not like everyone. The story of the film is not groundbreaking but it resonates with you because it has been executed well. The second of the film leaves something to be desired.
Mulshi Pattern talks about a relevant and rampant issue where farmers seems to be in trouble. It is a gritty film that handles the issues and its ramification head on.
