Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Alasdair Orr Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

akirajgor253 The storyline is very simple. I loved the direction of Nagraj Manjule. The topic is little sensitive since it shows the upper cast & lower cast difference which exist in society. The Main character of the story is Jabya (Somnath Awghade) played this role very well.

amitdodake You rarely get a chance to watch such a touching story. Many scenes do not even need any narration or dialogues to explain the situation you can actually feel it from your inner soul. Hats off to director Nagaraj Manjule and all non-actors in movie (you wont believe it - the first time actors) they has done excellent job.Movie is based on cast-ism in India.My one of favorite scene is the last scene of movie - where director shown really unique way to express his anger and frustration to the society. Thanks, Amit Dodake

chengiz As a Maharashtrian I have watched the new wave of issue-based Marathi movies with interest. However so far most of them have been of the sort "let's turn this one idea I have into a movie", which accompanied with little directorial talent (forget an auteur's voice) has resulted in preachy, repetitive, artificial, and broadly underwhelming films.But this, this is the real deal. Rarely do you see a director this perfectly in control of what he wants to say in a way that his movie primarily remains a movie and does not become a lesson, and yet hits you hard. This movie has been vaguely marketed as a love story, which I find ridiculous because it is nothing of the sort (the love interest does not even have a line). It is a movie about adolescence and hopes and caste, just about regular old real village life from the point of view of a young boy. There is not a moment of artifice in it, everything is real and honest.This is top quality, Oscar worthy work, with echoes in the movie-making and storytelling of Shyam Benegal (Ankur etc), Premchand (Godaan), Majid Majidi (Children of Heaven), and even Terence Malick (Days of Heaven) for the imagery. I haven't seen Sairat, yet I'm calling it - we have a true great in our midst.

Swapnil Chandak We learn so many things in school,we read about saints and mahatmas. We all have learned not to discriminate, treat even. But what happens when it's time to apply in real life? Fandry, uses a backdrop of a rural village in Maharashtra to portray an absolutely realistic depiction of our society. Brilliant metaphors follow one after the other in this movie, right from the black sparrow to the pigs. A simple and an otherwise funny episode of pig catching makes you feel so angered and disgusted. People feel we are now a developed nation and such thinking doesn't exist but it's really not true. Hard hitting direction and incredible performances from all actors lifts the movie so high that you nearly forget that it's just a movie. Kishore Kadam and Somnath Awghade deserve a huge applause for this! Kudos to the makers of this movie, deserved much more than just 2 national awards! Do not miss this gem, it will leave you in awe.
