U; Drama

Think of a road trip and you’ll imagine a long-distance journey undertaken by a group of jolly folks in an automobile. But sometimes what happens is you can’t afford a vehicle and are thus left at the mercy of your legs. Such road trips are bound to turn harsher with every passing hour. This is precisely what one can expect from '72 Miles - Ek Pravas'. Raw and heartbreaking at times, this Marathi endeavour takes you on a walk. There are instances where you might wish it was running for a change but the slow dialogue-soaked moments eventually stay with you.

From the director of the much-acclaimed 'Jogwa' (2009), his latest venture is set in the ’60s and based on real-life events. The protagonist is a thin little boy who is harassed by almost everyone he comes in contact with. Unable to cope with this gross mistreatment, he decides to run away from his boarding school. The kid can’t wait to get back to his home in Kolhapur but doesn’t have the financial means to make the transit. As a result, he ends up on the road.
