Manoj Bajpayee, Devashish Makhija, and Piiyush Singh in Bhonsle (2018)
Through 'Bhonsle' we have tried to ask that most pressing question of our times - who is a Migrant? What defines someone as an Outsider to a land? Where is that line that demarcates boundaries? Who decides who stands inside and who stands outside of that line? If each of our histories is traced back far enough are we all not migrants to our lands in some way or another? Can Man even stake claim to Land? When did we become so arrogant as a species? And finally, at what cost, this arrogance?

    Watch it purely for Manoj Bajpayee's brilliance!

    #MovieReview #Bhonsle #ManojBajpayee #Hindi #SonyLiv #SpoilerFree

    It is truly criminal that this tour de force performance from one of India's finest actors, Manoj Bajpayee took two years after its initial release in 2018 to get aired on OTT. It just goes to show the actor's sheer ability that even with minimal dialogues, Bajpayee manages to tell us a spellbinding story of anguish, loss and sorrow with his impeccable mannerisms and body language.

    Santosh Javekar and Ipshita Chakraborty are also terrific in their side roles, ably complementing what is at its core, a pure Manoj Bajpayee show.

    In Ganpat Bhonsle, Bajpayee has found a character that makes great use of his immense acting range, perfectly portraying the broken life of an unmarried, lonely police officer post-retirement. Bhonsle requires a patient watch due to its slow narration, but leaves you satisfied in the end purely due to the actor's gravitas in each scene.

    Strictly for Bajpayee fans this one!

    Every cinema lover should Watch this

    This film paints an accurate picture of the toxic environment in which we are. The film shows us that the canker of intolerance of divisive politics is slowly spreading in our society.

    SonyLIV Bhonsle is a film whose value should not be measured by its content, but by the way, the content is presented. The story does not waste time to keep its point, but every scene tells a story of its own.

    Mirat Trivedi, Devashish Makhija, and Sharanya Rajgopal have written an accurate and useful screenplay. The story also tells the truth of how politics operates in the lower classes.

    The story is slow, and viewers find themselves wondering where the story is at one point. In the first half, there could be a boom. But not everyone will enjoy sitting through the film.

    The film shows us that wily politicians have mastered the British art of division and governance that makes illiterate people wicked and turn on their fellow humans.

    The story is rhythmic in its case and works more effectively than telling the essence.

    It is primarily a one-person show. Manoj Bajpayee is quite outstanding. In his case, I would say that he did not choose the role, the role chose him.

    Bajpayee is Bhonsle, Bhosle is Bajpayee. You can't close your eyes for a while to see them. Manoj Bajpayee is a symbol of acting in today's day and age.

    The actor plays a character with bare minimum words. All other artists give adequate support with their restrained performances.

    Bhonsle gets a lot of support from Ipshita and Virat Vaibhav. Both enhance Bajpayee's performance. We would have loved to see more of Abhishek Banerjee.

    Devashish Makhija is the director of this film who does not attempt to promote. He only comes to tell a story, and he inspires Goosebumps.

    Bhonsle is a film that is full of great technical aspects. The camera work in this film is excellent.

    Jigmet Wangchuk's cinematography threaded, straightforward narrative and visual poetry together.

    His camera and simple shots increase the seriousness of the story.

    The background music gives the perfect touch.

    The story of Bhonsle is not thick. This is a simple story that has been told in different ways. Every cinema lover should see the Bhonsle movie on SonyLIV.

    Real Masterpiece 👌🏻

    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.
