Even in his late 30s, he is only interested in 'scoring' one night stands while his friends are all married with kids. Unfortunately, it is unlikely to appeal to anyone other than the callow.Mandar Ponkshe, is an atypical youth, a sex addict and a player. In a much briefer role, Sai Tamhankar, playing the middle class woman who cheats on her husband, conveys the moral and emotional ambiguities inherent in her transgressions. Radhika Apte lights up the screen with her presence and invests Tripti with grey qualities that go beyond the certainties of simple black and white perceptions. The finesse that he brings to the job makes Mandar an ambivalent figure - an object of both ridicule and pity. Gulshan Devaiah turns in a restrained performance as a man both driven and tormented by his inability to curb his raging hormones. It goes round in concentric circles as the hero creates a web of problems for himself, his friends and the women he pursues.īut despite being hugely confusing and only mildly attention-grabbing for Mandar's gawky escapades, Hunterrr is quaintly watchable at times because of the quality of the acting. The film tends to ramble aimlessly after it has made its pivotal point: the path of juvenile carnality has more thorns than roses. Are we supposed to empathise with Mandar's struggles, or are we expected to abhor him for his lack of scruples? It is never clear what it is trying to achieve. Hunterrr has problems aplenty with tonality. The more women he conquers the more trouble he courts.Īn artless swimmer in his college (Veera Saxena), a married woman with a child (Sai Tamhankar), a bored, lonely high society seductress - she is Savita Bhabhi to Mandar - and the independent-minded Trupti Gokhale (Radhika Apte) are just some of the women in the hero's life.
In chasing the joys of instant gratification, he only aggravates the messy tangle that his life is. He lurches from one fling to another in quest of physical pleasure rather than emotional stability. He is driven by an uncontainable compulsion to ogle and make a pass at every woman that he espies. Neither flashy nor flush with cash, Mandar Ponkshe ( Gulshan Devaiah) is more gauche than charming. The male protagonist - if one can call him that - is an average guy.
