Katyar Kaljat Ghusali

Let me begin by saying that I don't have ear for the classical music. My father had seen the original musical play and we decided to watch the movie. And what a treat it was !! Starting from the first song "Sur Niragas" you are in awe of the past era and the might of music. I was in tears at Shankar Mahadevan's "Ghei Chhand Makarand". And it's not just Shankar, the other two leads Rahul Deshpande and Mahesh Kale (Yes, they are the leads even if they are not the faces you see on screen) are a treat to hear as well. The filmmakers have done well with the old classics and adding new compositions as well which don't look out of place. I could rave on and on about the music, but I would just suggest to experience this quality of music. The beauty of movie is that while the music is great, it does not fail in other aspects. The storyline is tight and moving well in both halves. Background score added to the impact. And the actors have well with their parts. No hamming. Especially Subodh and Sachin are so excellent that you won't feel that they are not the actual singers. Overall, I wont say "watch" the movie, I'd recommend, "experience" it !!

Its a masterpiece by Subodh Bhave on his debut. I really do not know much about classical music, but it doesn't matter when you hear something like this. There should be a standing ovation after every show for the singers, composers, who have succeeded in taking this film at some different level. Its been quite a while that we have watched a musical film like Katyar Kaljat Ghusali. The cast includes some prolific actors like Sachin Pilgaonkar. I have adored him for his performances while I was a kid in some films. Its a comeback for him. I am sure the audience will love him in this film. Throughout the film, you feel like Sachin and Subodh are actually singing. Lyrics, Story, Dialogues, Sound, Lighting is as good as the music. My favorite dialogue in the movie," Live Long. Keep Singing." and "Any artist lives for that moment, when the audience wants the artist(singer) to perform and they keep applauding for the sheer talent. Shankar Mahadevan, our beloved one has done really well as an actor, as its his debut too. I cannot eulogize him more as he has been impeccable in his music and his songs in the film. Noteworthy and Excellence by Rahul Deshpande, Shankar Mahadevan, Mahesh Kale and Arijit Singh, Divya Kumar, Shivam Mahadevan. The Music is soothing and Soul of KKG.

Katyar Kaljat Ghusli has its crux in its music. The music of the movie is the star of the movie. Hats off to the whole cast and crew of the movie who worked for three and a half years to carve out this masterpiece. I would specially mention Shankar Mahadevan, Rahul Deshpande and Mahesh Kale for their mesmerizing voice with songs like Sur Niragas Ho, Ghei Chhand Makarand, Dil Ki Tapish & many more. Shivam Mahadevan is like the icing on the cake with the very beautiful song Mann Mandira Tejane. Sachin Pilgaonkar, Subodh Bhave, Shankar Mahadevan, Amruta Khanvilkar, Mrunmayee Deshpande, Pushkar Shrotri & Sakshi Tanvar have given justice to their respective role. A must watch film for all those who love music.

This film got a standing ovation where I watched it. This is for the first time I witnessed standing ovation. Usually the producers demand some degree of commercial elements in the film to make it commercially successful. This film preserves the authenticity of the story, without compromising on any of it's aspect. This is top class production values. I am absolutely sure this film will get standing ovation in various international screenings.

The film is based on a play of same name & film makers have done well to preserve the authenticity of script & music. The heart of the film is classical music, which is very well choreographed. The climax of the film is amazing & literally gave me goose-bump.

awesome storyline and fantastic acting done by Subodh Bhave,Sachin and Amruta Khanvilkar, rest of the crew also done their job very well like singer turned actor(first time) Shankar Mahadevan,Sakhshi Talwar,Mrinmayi Deshpande. but of course Sachin and Subodh are the center of the movie and story as well. apart from storyline music is the most important factor contributing making this movie must watchable,i must write here that songs are must listen by music lover.the essence of classical music is kept very peak by the singers-Rahul Deshpande and Shankar Mahadevan!! Divya Kumar,Arjit Singh,Mahesh Kale all did good job but the classical music lovers got the Diwali treat of awesome songs sung by Rahul Deshpande and Shankar Mahadevan. Subodh Bhave-an actor and director of the movie is like gem of Marathi cine industry.marvelous performance by him after Lokmanya.hats off to him. Sachin-never seen role,gray shade of his role depicts the actual humane tendency in both senses-bad and good. all Marathi lovers must go and watch this movie and enjoy the harmony of the overwhelming songs also.
