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 !!

A movie which is related to music , is always seen as a movie , with no credibility, No liking and No life. And on top of that if the movie is with Classical music is always recognized as boring. Now Thinking ' Katyar Kaljat Ghusali ' is in that category; then you doing the biggest mistake in judging movies a great caliber. The movie is all about, Music , FriendShip , Forgiveness , love , ego, Help , Anger , Hatred. The Movie displays how music was the prime entertainment option in British rule, and how British rulers made use of strategy of divide and rule , and Indians used to fall for the pray. But Indians have great qualities such as power of forgiveness, love , talent and perseverance , that over comes , hatred and ego. All this is directed and played purely with music. The movie is a must watch, those who admires all that I said in my previous lines. The Movie , most of renowned , musicians , actors... So go and watch it in Theatre

'Katyar Kaljat Ghusali' is the best Marathi Movie of 2015.I Watched it on the First day with my family,it blew my mind.And the subtitles helped a lot to understand the meaning of lyrics. Best screenplay so far and impeccable performances.Storyline was good, the 'katyar' wasgood too.No one can imagine Sachin sir in a negative role but he gave a very powerful performance.Music was really good,every song in the movie was impeccably & perfectly written.Since I haven't seen the'play'(natak), I enjoyed watching the film. Shankar Ehsaan Loy and Jitendra Abhishek's soulful notes will echo in your ears and give you a happy hangover. Subodh Bahave who enthralled everyone with great movies like 'Balgandharva' & 'Lokmanya Balgandharva Tilak' is back with this Movie.Its a masterpiece and was not easy to remake, but Subodh did a fantastic job. Katyar means 'a dagger through the heart'. There is Indian classical music and Marathi Natya Sangeet.The Everything was Perfect .. (Hope that there'll be more similar movies like Katyar)

Its a masterpiece by Subodh Bhave on his debut. I really do not know much about classical music, but it doesn't matter when you hear something like this. There should be a standing ovation after every show for the singers, composers, who have succeeded in taking this film at some different level. Its been quite a while that we have watched a musical film like Katyar Kaljat Ghusali. The cast includes some prolific actors like Sachin Pilgaonkar. I have adored him for his performances while I was a kid in some films. Its a comeback for him. I am sure the audience will love him in this film. Throughout the film, you feel like Sachin and Subodh are actually singing. Lyrics, Story, Dialogues, Sound, Lighting is as good as the music. My favorite dialogue in the movie," Live Long. Keep Singing." and "Any artist lives for that moment, when the audience wants the artist(singer) to perform and they keep applauding for the sheer talent. Shankar Mahadevan, our beloved one has done really well as an actor, as its his debut too. I cannot eulogize him more as he has been impeccable in his music and his songs in the film. Noteworthy and Excellence by Rahul Deshpande, Shankar Mahadevan, Mahesh Kale and Arijit Singh, Divya Kumar, Shivam Mahadevan. The Music is soothing and Soul of KKG.

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.
