Terming it as a ‘Sankriti Surprise’, Bollywood’s undisputed dancing and acting diva Madhuri Dixit had unveiled the first look of her debut Marathi film Bucket List in January.
Donning a domestically traditional look, replete with a Mangalsutra, a moss green saree and a red bindi, she looks like the quintessential woman next door a la Sridevi in English Vinglish and Vidya Balan in Tumhari Sulu.
The vibrant backdrop of the poster seemed to suggest the myriad descriptors that her character in the film embodies - housewife, mother, friend, sister and more and it comes across as a slice-of-life film.
“It is a story of every household yet it has a silver lining. It not only gives you hope and inspiration but also encourages you to live life in the true sense.”Madhuri Dixit had earlier said of the film.
Directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar, who has also written the film script along with Devashree Shivadekar, Bucket List is slated to be a summer 2018 release.
Dixit was last seen in the black-comedy Dedh Isqiya and crime drama Gulaab Gang in 2014.
On March 25, she took to Twitter to unveil the teaser. She is seen in the avatar of a housewife rediscovering her identity and finding a new calling.
