Sai Tamhankar is one of Indian cinema’s most velveteen femme fatales, effortlessly conveying smoky mystery and misdirection. What might Bol Bol Rani have been like without her? The question is rhetorical.
In Sid Vinsurkar’s Marathi movie, which is out in cinemas, Tamhankar plays a rural memsaab named Maya in Surjanpur village in Maharashtra. The writer Aabhas (Subodh Bhave) comes to Surjanpur to investigate the lore around Maya, who is under arrest for killing her husband (Chinmay Mandlekar). Three people give three different accounts of Maya, who has excited the imagination without ever once leaving her house.
The first story, and the most chilling, is also the best. Maya is bound in more ways than one to her husband. The dynamic crackles with tension and ambivalence.
All the strangeness about Maya is present in this episode. Tamhankar is mesmerising as the spouse who goes from a pained smile to a crafty look in a split second. Sid Vinsurkar and writers Saurabh Bhave and Himanshu Nimbhorkar make good use of silence here, ratcheting up ample suspense with sound effects and meaningful camera angles.
In the progressively weaker second and third chapters, Maya is remembered as a druggie with a supplier (Sambhaji Sasane) and a dutiful wife with a devoted lover (also Sasane)....
