Bhonsle

Good movie to watch for especially the great acting from manoj bajpayee the movie tells the story of migrants and ask us that who is migrants.

Bhonsle is a commendable piece of art and it rightfully portrays the message. However, if you genuinely don't like art films or you just can't bear slow paced cinema, this is definitely not your cup of tea.

The film definitely holds its flaws but it also raises a few questions which seems to hold no answers. A few scenes invoke an imbalance in the film and ruins the chemistry with the audience forcing you to skip. But, sitting through those flaws is completely worth it.

Manoj Bajpayee is a living acting school.I am speechless seeing his performance in Bhonsle.movement, body language,stillness,timing, control,facial expression,eye contact, listening, expression of mood,interaction with other performers all are perfect.Hats off.🙏🙏

From the directors of Ajji here comes another film which is much much darker with its concept, highlights numerous social issues with its tonality and narrative. The main highlight of the whole film was the narrative. The narrative itself is written in such a manner where you will find each and every character highlighted in a unique manner, and each one having their own shades. The performances were solid including the ensemble cast. Each and every performance stand out in various ways. Be it Ipshita Chakraborty Singh & Virat Vaibhav as the sister-brother duo or even Abhishek Banerjee in a short role as a Kattar Bihari. But the showsteller were Manoj Bajpayee as Bhonsle, a retired cop and Santosh Juvekar as an over-ambitious Kattar Marathi. The colour palate and the realistic sound design used in the whole film made it more dark and gritty. There are few sequences where there is no dialogue but the actions of the characters conveyed a lot about their nature which was truely a great approach. The film is mainly shot using the close up frame that too in a man-handed manner which made the audience connect with the character. Last thing which was exceptional was the constant relation between the deity of Lord Ganesha and the main character Bhonsle. The plot of the film is realistic and not meant for the faint hearted. I personally loved the film and will surely recommend this. Do give it a watch if you like it raw and dark.

Makhija again did overwhelming job with his dark mind starting from opening showcase of movie Ganeshji getting ready for festival and on the other hand Bhonsle stripped offs his uniform as he is reluctantly ordered to retire shows the contrast between celebrations during Ganesh Chaturthi and the disquietude that exists in character Bhonsle till climax which is shot in bathroom with great cinematographic excellence. Most of the film is shot in Chawl of Mumbai which is raw and real actually creates the isolate experience while watching. Bajpayee's powerful performance with minimal dialogues is just beyond his talent and rest of the cast too did extremely well job. Movie uplifts the dark issue of migrants in Maharashtra without any extraneous drama.
