Lapachhapi

Honestly, I did not know anything about this movie. My dear friend Jimmy Cage recommended this title on his YouTube channel. I trust his feedback and as I am fluent in Marathi, decided to watch this movie.

I was not disappointed at all and frankly, I enjoyed the movie. Every element and prop in the movie contributed to the horror element, right from the ventilation vent to the creaky cot to the radio set to the sugar cane fields itself. The director has co-opted each element so beautifully in the narrative that nothing appears out of place.

The story starts with a young couple that is about to have a baby running away from loan sharks in Mumbai to a remote village. The young mans ex colleague who is also the driver of the car they hire recommends his remote village as a safe place to hide. The couple reaches the village only to find a dilapidated house in the middle of a sugarcane field as their hiding spot. The drivers wife builds a strong bond with the lady and provides the maternal comfort that the lady needs at such a crucial juncture.

However, when the lady begins seeing things and characters that are not from this world ... she senses a great danger to not just herself but her unborn kid. The struggle of the mother to protect both forms the crux of the movie. Saying anything more about the movie or the plot would damage the fun element. Please see it for yourself. Another masterpiece from a language other than Hindi. Must watch

Lapachhapi is a film which is a milestone in Marathi industry in the yet unexplored horror genre. The screenplay is consistent and engaging, while the background music is pitch perfect. Pooja Sawant delivers her career best, while Usha Naik delivers a stellar performance. The climax could've been more effective, but nonetheless, the film is a masterpiece in itself.

Recently regional films have been making there mark in the Indian Film Industry & this movie is a very good example of it. A very good script with a strong social message, good direction & suspenseful screenplay with a few chilling scenes will keep you hooked throughout the movie. Kudos to the director & team for creating this Marathi masterpiece. A must watch for everyone.

This movie offers all the requisites of horror genre (no vulgarity), usha Naik is convincing and good casting for horror film, Pooja sawant is daring and gorgeous, BGM is good. Movie is so powerful in conveying it's message and exposing the stupidity of old horrifying traditions in our country.. this movie must reach to maximum people..

I watched this after watching news of "CHHORI". I have seen some visuals of this movie on insta reel and i have seen chhori's some visuals. I thought both are same and yeah it is true. Chhori is remake of this movie. I don't watch copy that's why i watched Lapachhapi today. Believe me.. this is one the best Horror movie of indian cinema. Because of langauge, people take advantage and make remake of originals. I don't like when some production house give rights to another PH. They can just give hindi dubbing rights to another production instead of giving script.
