SAIRAT REVIEW - Finished watching one of the most awaited Marathi flick of the year, and came out being little bit confused that how to review/rate this film? First 60 mins are freaking hilarious which are the reason to give a repeat watch to this movie. All 3 chart buster songs appears in these 60 mins then suddenly (as expected) a turn around which made it thriller for next 50 mins. Interval appears after 110 mins, quite long na? But there is no dull moment for a minute till Interval. Then 2nd half is Realistic and with zero entertaining elements, and it was expected from Director. Then a stunning climax which confused me, 50% happy with the climax and 50% unhappy. Acting- New actors but thumbs up to entire star cast. Akash Thosar as Parshya did excellent job, Rinku Rajguru has already got deserving National Award. Other co-actors were brilliant.
Music- Someone please give National Award to Ajay Atul, extraordinary stuff by them. Certainly they deserves bunch of Awards for this Class Music Album. Complete marks to 'Yad Lagal', 'Sairat Zal' and 'Zingat'. 'Bawaral' is not that good compared to other songs.
Screenplay- Runtime is 170 mins, 110 mins First Half and 60 Mins second half, sounds long but you won't even realise how quickly Interval Appears. Many people will say editing could have better but i don't know which scenes deserves cut cause all scenes looks mandatory.
Cinematography- Excellent ! Movie has been shot beautifully, locations looks realistic.
Direction- Too Good but not Excellent. But whatever movie is, its because of Nagraj Manjule. He gave us highly acclaimed classic 'Fandry' but here he learnt so much and added so many massy elements in film to get commercial success. You need guts to make movies like this and Manjule is the only one to try it. I want to ask him really, was this climax needed? Cause Fandry ended on positive, courageous note and Sairat ends on negative note. Anyways, Well Done Nagraj Manjule.
Final Words- For Fandry i said its too much classy but Sairat is equally balanced for Masses and Classes both. If movie gets repeat audience then First half would be the reason and If movie fails then Climax would be the reason. Go for it for a Gutsy attempt in Marathi Industry, I hope you won't come out with a disappointing face. I am giving 8/10* stars (1 star extra for Music).
