Sairat
-Directed by Nagraj Manjule.
Gazed unabashedly,
Loved unabashedly.
Fought for love.
Didn’t even flinch once before pointing a gun at the lover’s enemy.
Took responsibility of lover’s life.
It is always the hero who usually does all the above mentioned things in a typical Indian film, right?
Right.
What if I tell you that I know a film in which a HEROINE does all that for a hero and much more but it doesn’t even look one bit odd?
‘Sairat’ meaning ‘wild’ in Marathi, literally suggests the core nature of the film. Right from the badass heroine Archie (Rinku Rajguru)to her adorable lover Parshya (Akash Thosar) and their lovestory, everything about the film is wild.
Typically set against a rural backdrop whose language is raw, the film tells the story of two lovers, and their struggle to protect their love against all odds. The conflict and the overall story make it sound like typical film doesn't it? Why would a typical regional film like this made by some Marathi director whose last name isn't Scorsese, Kashyap or for that matter Hirani, gain international acclaim and national awards? Simple answer- Because it is REAL. The rawness of reality has been maintained in each and every aspect of the film including the language. Having done said that, let me make this clear to you that the movie isn't another boring piece of cinema which is supposed to be intellectual and great only because the critics say so. Sairat has got everything that makes a film worth watching- drama, bloodshed, love, songs (SUPER AMAZING) and conflict. That is the beauty of Sairat- even if you are left amazed, you cannot say that "it's only a film and all this doesn't happen in real life." Be it the happy or the sorrowful parts, even if they haven't been necessarily experienced by you, you know that those actually happen, in reality.
Go for Sairat, even if you don't understand Marathi. The film speaks louder than its words, literally.
P.S- English Subtitles me grammar mistakes bhi nahi hai. :P
I rate the film- 5/5
Character I would have liked to play- Archie, without any doubt.
