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 !!

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.

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.

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.

Great work by TRISTAR Sachin,Subodh,Shankar. One of the best musical drama movie of the decade. This is an example of how great Indian classical music and marathi natya sangit is. As far as acting is concerned everyone played their part very beautifully especially Shankar Mahadevan who made his acting debut with this film was a treat to watch. Subodh Bhave a versatile actor who made his directorial debut with this masterpiece. Impeccable performances by everyone. True performer of this movie are singers, composers and lyricist they really pulled it off. Awesome songs sung by awesome singers. Arshad Muhammad, Divya Kumar, Arijit Singh, Shankar Mahadevan Rahul Deshpande, Mahesh Kale what a beautiful voice they have. This makes me say that ''hi katyar kaljat ghusli''.
