Review:
Director
Ram
Ramesh
Sharma's
36
Farmhouse
is
a
comedy-drama
set
against
the
backdrop
of
the
2020
lockdown.
The
film
begins
with
murder
for
the
ownership
of
36
Farmhouse
and
300
acres
of
land.
The
property
is
currently
owned
by
Padmini
Raj
Singh,
who
has
left
all
her
property
to
eldest
son
Raunak
Singh
played
by
Vijay
Raaz.
Raunak
is
also
the
son
who
takes
care
of
Padmini
and
also
happens
to
keep
her
away
from
the
outside
world
so
she
doesn't
change
her
mind.
Amid
the
pandemic,
coincidently
the
farmhouses
lose
their
chef
and
have
to
hire
the
first
person
they
find,
Jai
Prakash
played
by
Sanjay
Mishra.
Sanjay
is
shown
as
one
of
the
many
migrant
workers
who
had
to
walk
across
city
and
state
lines
to
get
home.
Just
like
him
his
son
Hari
also
has
been
walking
home.
However,
on
his
way
back,
he
is
helped
by
a
designer
with
a
job
as
her
tailor.
The
designer
happens
to
be
Padmini
Raj
Singh's
granddaughter.
Both
father
and
son
reach
the
lavish
farmhouse
with
ulterior
motives,
however,
the
place
is
already
engulfed
in
different
chaos.
The
story
also
follows
several
subplots
which
are
often
abandoned
including
an
ill-advised
investigation
of
murder
as
well
as
the
mention
of
three
kids
fighting
for
the
inheritances,
which
essentially
is
two
sons
and
one
daughter
in
law.
One
of
the
main
characters
in
the
film
is
played
by
Barkha
Singh,
but
she
ends
up
just
a
writer's
pawn
without
any
real
significance
to
the
story.
While
Sanjay
Mishra
and
Amol
Parashar's
character
brings
rare
comic
timing
to
the
film,
the
dialogues
mainly
disappoint
with
zero
laughs.
The
screenplay
tries
to
explore
several
deeper
topics
including
the
pandemic,
unemployment,
and
how
differently
the
lockdown
impacted
the
poor
and
the
rich,
class
system
and
women
empowerment,
but
fails
to
give
any
of
them
the
rightful
screen
time
it
deserves.
Overall,
36
Farmhouse
attempts
to
play
out
a
narrative
comedy-drama
about
social
injustice
and
give
a
reality
check
that
lockdown
put
forth
in
front
of
people,
however,
it
ends
up
becoming
a
film
with
no
real
premise,
structure
or
message
to
pass
on.
