Take out the 60's stereo typical village theme apart, and witness the performance of a pure gold acting. Something no method actors could achieve.
The slow pace at which the story progresses does not take away the film's quality and appeal. This is in the making a true art film. Avoid this in if you are not into sentimental feelings from the depiction of the humdrum life of a peasant and his family.
Today's film maker's can have their dig at this making for the old time plots and stereotypes, but emotions will run wild if you are invested.
Shivaji ganesan is at his bestest. A solid 9 off 10.
