Tukaram

Hats off to all the cast for their great presentation about thoughts of the great Tukaram maharaj.

Acting, songs, direction all best. All songs are heart touching,

Movie is created with nowadays time consideration. It is more like biography of Sant Tukaram like it is stating some events of his life. In vaarkari sampradaay it is said that Sant Dyaneshwar created base of vaarkari sampradaay and Sant Tukaram is epitome of vaarkari sampradaay, i.e. Sant Tukaram is highest point of Vittal Bhakti. In movie Sant Tukaram is portrait as a typical poet. Sometimes we feel that it is a commercial film with less devotion. BTW acting is good and dialogue delivery is also good. First time when I watch this movie I feel it is a great movie on Sant Tukaram. But when I watched Sant Tukaram movie release in 1936 which is of full of devotion towords Vitthal bhagwan then I feel some negative point as stated above.

Very beautiful and good movie on sant Tukaram maharaj.

This movie is very good actually, it is well balanced, not exaggerating in miracles, "divine" powers etc., it "only" shows the life of Tukaram with much included wisdom and beauty. I am surprised by the low ranking, because it really brings the saint closer to humans in the way that humans can grasp his ideas and existence and learn from it. Perhaps there are some Hindutva elements, but in general it is quite universally conceived. Works quite peacefully on mind. Some poems (abhangas) of Tukaram are present there. Quite good casting, because it had to be mainly from Maharashtra villagers. Some nice images of Maharashtra.
