I read Bangarwadi by Vyankatesh Madgulkar(Brother of famous G.D. Madgulkar) when i was in 8th or 9th.this book till date is in my fav list. time passed.....& eventually i saw this effort by Amol Palekar. The film is not as effective as the book reading (at least for me). But for someone who doesn't know much about the life of the Dhangar category, this is must see film. every actor in is superb. Director took a lot of effort for choosing the casts.

i liked Upendra Limiye's acting (though his role is not major...his voice is typical).

This is must see once.

I saw Tom Hardy's Mad Max Fury Road again last week. It is a movie full of enthralling action. Not for a second I was distracted while seeing it and it's one of my most favorite movies. The reason I will mention it because I saw Bangarwadi(Again) this week and like Mad Max, I wasn't distracted for a second.

Completely opposite to Mad Max, everything in this movie is plain simple. In a pre-independence era of India, a newly appointed teacher goes to a remote village to teach children over there. While doing so, he gets along with all villagers there, watches there daily routine, shares their happiness, tries to resolve their problems (as much as he could), sometimes faces unnecessary advances as well. There are few scenes where movie gets slightly interesting (as most of us would like), but that's that.

What surprises the most, is how easily these (so-called) illiterate people face devastating problems. Moving on with no regrets, no expectations, no sorrow, leaving us so much to learn from them. As I said, movie is completely linear. There is no drama, no action, no suspense, nothing. One might say no story as well. It does have a little comic angle though. But after it finishes, we start to think about that life in the village and wonder how complicated we've made ours.

I wont blame today's goal based life, but not having it and just living it without so many goals is not a bad idea either. That's what this movie tells us. I'll leave everyone to ponder about that. But I would recommend this movie to everyone who would love an alternate way to life.
