Ventilator

Ventilator is an outstanding movie. There are directors in bollywood who create boring, stupid, monotonous movies & claim to be masters of love & emotion. Ventilator is a big learning for them.

Ventilator is a simple movie in terms of locations, production values & budget. But it is very high in terms of content, fun & emotions. It narrates a very touching story of a father-son, brothers, brother- sister. 2nd half is so high on emotions & beautifully waved that you cant help but cry. Perspective of a father & son towards their relation is beautifully narrated.

Overall its a must watch. Also since it is shown with English subtitles, even non-marathi people can watch & enjoy the movie.

Ventilator got a fair bit of publicity courtesy Priyanka Chopra who produced the movie, and of course it won quite a few awards.

It was on TataSky Film Fest channel this evening so I got to watch it. Surprise, surprise ... Ashutosh Gowariker the well known Bollywood director is the lead actor. Have to say, he did a good job.

The plot broadly centres around the decision of when and whether to switched off the ventilator of a man on his death bed and the quirks and foibles of his typical extended family - is quite different from most other movies and certainly from any Bollywood fare. The film is believably realistic for the most part and very well enacted. It did drag slightly around half way but picked up again soon after. Boman Irani had what one would call a surprise "guest appearance". That scene provided a healthy dose of humour and hilarity to the script. Boman is of course a very fine actor and it certainly shows. To give all the actors their due, everyone did a good job. Priyanka had a fleeting appearance as herself on a video call .. nice touch.

In summary, Ventilator is a good movie. Worth watching though it may not appeal to those seeking out and out entertainment.

Ventilator movie is indeed a journey of emotions. Journey which we all love.. In a single line I can describe this movie as 'No nonsense movie'. Yes, each dialogue or each emotion, gesture has a meaning in this film and nothing is just filler. We hardly come across such movies nowadays. Ventilator has no loose ends at all. It just keeps on getting in your veins. I missed my family so much while watching this film. If you are watching it, make sure you watch it with your whole family.

There are so many characters and all have acted well.. Frankly speaking, I haven't seen such a fantastic script anytime in recent years. This movie will make you realize that you definitely have to respect and put more time to understand your parents' view/their opinions. Hats off to Jitendra Joshi, Ashutosh Gowariker and Rajesh Mapuskar.. Tremendous job!!

Since last decade there is no shortage of themes in Marathi Cinema.

'Ventilator' is a beautiful journey of complicated human relations, father-son relationship, misunderstandings and priorities. The melange of humorous and sentimental scenes keeps audience involved throughout the film. Kudos to the entire team! The team of veteran actors did full justice to the script and portrayed each character with excellence. Especially 'Jitendra Joshi','Ashutosh Gowarikar' , 'Sukanya Mone' and 'Satish Alekar' just nailed it! In addition, it was delightful to see Unmesh uncle (our next door neighbor in Mumbai) in few scenes. :) It is admirable to see Priyanka Chopra promoting Indian regional films through her production house. In short, Priyanka's 'Purple Pebble Pictures Production' enters Marathi industry with a milestone movie and one can't afford to miss it.
