Swargandharv Sudhir Phadke

The movie involves too many flashbacks so it doesn't seem like a smooth narration.

The story moves too fast in some places. For example, it is not clear why the young protagonist faces financial hardships though he is the son of a well-to-do professional. At another place, the protagonist is charged with stealing bread but this very short episode is left unresolved.

Mr. Sudhir Phadke was involved in the creation of many extremely popular Marathi songs, but very few are touched upon in this movie. This is a big shortcoming of the movie. His involvement in the India Heritage Foundation could have been shown in detail.

Apart from being seemingly jerky and incomplete, this biographical movie is entertaining to watch. All the actors have done their job well. The filmmakers have taken a lot of effort to recreate the scenes of the period.

This movie is a great musical nostalgic experience.

Babuji and his hardships to get recognized as an established composer and singer is aptly portrayed.

Please do watch this movie.

Especially post reading his autobiography you can relate the movie much more. ( Autobiography- Jagachya pathiwar)

The dedication and struggle for almost 25+ years leads to Babujis entry in composing for marathi movies.

The relations are very nicely put by the director.

The Friendship of Ga Di Madgulkar and Babuji is shown in a great manner.

A treat for those who have experienced Babujis live singing and on records too.

A must watch !

Unlike typical biography, the movie has good storyline. The cast selection resembling the actual real-life characters is amazing. Usually Makeup and dressing are given less importance. But the movie has performed exceedingly well on those aspects. Though for Sudhirji's fans all of his songs are great, but what is extra-ordinary is selecting a song appropriate for the situation in the story. All credit goes to the producer and director.

It has covered all aspects of his life - his struggle at the young age, his principles, honesty, patriotism, popularity of his GeetRamayan and freedom struggles. It has compounded the respect for him!!

Yogesh Deshpande's direction combines music and drama in such a impactful way that it left me stunned. As visually stunning and beautifully scored as it is truly captivating.

Swargandharva Sudhir Phadke Guruji's biography is worthwhile, sending out a poignant message about following one's dreams. Yogesh's film is well-crafted enough to also work as a drama which highlights an artist's real life struggle.

Movie in itself is a compelling character-driven story that invites viewers inside the life struggling story of Sudhir Phadke (Guruji) and provides them with a timeless story throughout. Its message about obsession and music is worship is poignant and will remain relevant throughout.

Recently watched the movie "Swargandharva Sudhir Phadke". I have read Sudhir Phadake's autobiography - "Jagachya Pathivar" -two or three times. It is quite challenging to make a biopic and even more challenging to make it on a popular person like Sudhir Phadke. But the perfect selection of all the actors, their acting, and the technical aspects of the film are all excellent! Babuji's songs in his own voice have been used very well as background music at appropriate places.

A must-watch movie for every Maharashtrian in the movie theatre!

Heartfelt thanks and congratulations to the film's producers, directors, actors, and technicians! Well done!
