A movie which shows the reality of the India which we all consider to be very modern and many people may think that these things don't exist in our modern society but be ready to get all your conceptions of the modern India be shattered by the movie Fandry.

The movie is very simple from the core yet a very complicated subject to fully understand.The movie portrays the harsh reality of our shallow society yet it doesn't loose the 'entertainment factor'.There are some funny scenes shown in the film from time to time without making the film too 'cheesy' unlike many recent bollywood movies,a clever move by the director Mr.Nagraj according to me.The acting is something which only great actors would have able to pull of,but most of the actors are new to the industry and act very well despite no previous experience in acting.

This movie is a true gem and should not be missed by anyone.

The movie is so simple would like to compare this with Iranian movies. If you love watching Iranian movies then fandry is must watch keeping in mind the simplicity of the acting yet successful in delivering the strong message of living in poverty & suffering from caste discrimination. The film is focused on a young boy who lives below poverty in a village and how he gets caught into superstition to get hold of his love who belongs from an upper caste society...Unlike other Indian movies where scenes are sometimes more emotionally biased, this movie will not make you cry but still will make you think against the three sensitized subjects of poverty, caste discrimination and superstition to some extent..

I can even say this is the only movie that I have seen till date which is so authentic in its execution. The story revolves around a young boy(Jabya)who is a victim of the social inequality due to casteism in a village. The entire film drives in a direction where the group of people in the village infuriate the boy by abusing him and his family with his caste calling them "Fandri" (Pig), but he remains calm as his family is dependent on the village. The accumulation of all this anger, fear, fury get outburst in the climax act.

Everyone in the cast has done a extraordinary performance, there is nowhere where you can see any cinematic sequence. This credit should go the director of the movie (Nagraj Manjule). The amount of ground work that is there in this movie is enormous. Every single detail on the character, or the locations and sequence is something really unbelievable. One thing that can be quoted for instance is the place where Jabya's sister asks water in one of the homes when she runs and gasps. The anonymous character from the home doesn't hands over the water to her instead keeps it down to avoid the touch of inferior caste.

In the era of highly moving camera and fast action cuts, the camera work in the movie just shows the power of still cinematography which elevated the movie to the much higher level.

The movie is just one great masterpiece from the debut director !

Cast issue is very less adressed. Not much shown but it's all there if u want to see u can see otherwise u can't see the cast in the society. Cast is the main issue in Indian society and nobody talks about it because it is a part of normal life of Indian people.

And I think the last stone which the boy throws is to us, 'the society'

This movie is staged in a rural village in India. It focuses on the young son of the only family of "untouchables" in the village. He hopes and dreams for more than he is allowed to have, which contrasts to the humiliations he must endure being of such a low caste. He also struggles with coming of age, as he finds he has feelings of attraction to a girl.

The story has a slower pace, allowing us to really experience and contemplate the daily life of this boy and his poverty-stricken family. Their struggles and the oppression they face feel more meaningful because these things are not exaggerated in the name of drama, instead realism is the focus.
