Kaksparsh

What a Movie! you get to see such a film once a decade. Brilliant acting performances from each of the character. A detailed & content direction. At no point of time, you will feel that the film is lagging in script or slowing down. The edit sequencing - the way things move from past-further past & present - is one of the best part. The climax is hair-raising. Maybe due to 'regional language' barrier the film might not get the response it deserves. Also a person watching the film should be aware/educated about the Brahmins morals – as international audience might lack the knowledge of it & thus might not understand the purposes of few of the things used in the films. Proud that such a film is made in India, and that too in Maharashtra. JAI MAHARASHTRA!

Shot on the backdrop of Konkan with typical Brahmin attitude, director Mahesh Manjrekar has perfectly selected the locations, including the traditional ancestral house, to create the atmosphere of the pre- independence era.

From beginning till the end, the film sticks to its subject, without any diversions and that makes the presentation more realistic. 'Kakasparsha' is the film for sensible film viewers. Fine performances from Sachin Khedekar, Sanjay Khapre, Ketaki Mategaonkar, Vaibhav Mangle, Priya Bapat, Abhijit Kelkar, Saksham Kulkarni and others, makes it more impressive. Music and background music have been handled well and so is the wonderful cinematography capturing all those natural moments.

Actor Sachin Khedkar deserves all the praise for his memorable performance through that lifetime role of Haridada. He gets a good support from all other artistes. Prominent among them are Sanjay Khapre and Vaibhav Mangle who have invited special attention.

A must watch movie!

This is a story set in the first part of the 20th century somewhere in Konkan. It's a complicated story of love, family, traditions and regret.

Sachin Khedikar was brilliant.

Though a Maharashtrian, I don't usually watch Marathi films. I heard this is a really good one, so took my parents (who are averse to watching film in a theatre for so many reasons) to the theatre. It turned out to be a fantastic movie with an engrossing plot.

The story moves fast without lingering on at any scene (except a couple of songs which were a little annoying because of the exceptionally loud sound in the hall), and deals with all the aspects of the story grippingly. Sachin Khedekar & Priya Bapat are awesome, and so is all the supporting cast.

As I read in a review before going for this movie, among love stories that stand out, there is Casablanca, there is DDLJ, and then there is Kaksparsh. Though targeted to a limited audience being in a regional language, this film still leaves a mark no smaller than any of the Hollywood or Bollywood counterparts.

Excellent movie - very strong plot,accompanied by a very good acting... and very very good direction.

The movie doesn't linger on at any scene, moves fast and deals with all the aspects of the story grippingly and on many occasions conveys everything without words. Sachin Khedekar & Priya Bapat are awesome, and so is all the supporting cast.

Mahesh Manjareksr, hats off! Whenever we start thinking that Marathi film industry is losing it glory again because of the stereo-type comedies, movies like this bring us back to theaters! It is unfortunate that some really good movies, like this, don't perform that well at the box office.
