Tukaram

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.
