Kutch Express

I had the pleasure of watching 'Kutch Express' recently, and I was truly impressed by its remarkable realism and captivating storytelling.

The entire cast delivered performances that far exceeded my expectations. This film offers a modern and groundbreaking perspective on the complexities of married life, which I found incredibly engaging.

I must say it's a remarkably realistic and captivating modern Gujarati movie presenting a fresh perspective that truly caught my attention. I want more such movies.

I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the entire team for their exceptional work, keep it up!!!

Help finding compelling concepts? Sometimes reading simple story prompts is the easiest way to get those creative juices flowing.

We get our ideas from many sources - news headlines, novels, television shows, movies, our lives, our fears, our phobias, etc. They can come from a scene or moment in a film that wasn't fully explored. They can come from a single visual that entices the creative mind - a seed that continues to grow and grow until the writer is forced to finally put it to paper or screen.

They may inspire screenplays, novels, short stories, or even smaller moments that you can include in what stories you are already writing.

A Story that one will relate and can compare to every other household in your neighbourhood or it can be your own home also ...

Kutch Express begins casually in a ligth hearted way showing how a small town in Kutch the women socialise calling their own small gang as "Sisoti" their own term for the Kittie Party that urban women enjoy ... the difference is that the Sisoti is a private affair not known to their Men.

Slowly the two main Characters of the film Baiji ( Ratna Pathak Shah ) & Monghi ( Manasi Parekh Gohil ) develop and the story shifts inside their home. Baiji is Monghi Mother In Law and they share a beautiful fairty tale like bonding never seen on screen and off screen too ... so it naturally brings a smile on your face. Monghis husband is not happy with Monghi and his having a affair with his colleague and then its a slow rollercoaster ride with himan emotion wave and ending up in tap of fish net ...

Eveything is balanced beautifully... The Commercial & Realistic proposition of the film to entertain and at the same time making you think whether am I also the Rigth Man in my house ?

Direction by Viral Shah is top notch, Cinematography by Dhawallika is Superlative catching amazing views of The unexplored Kutch Music by Sachin Jiger is peppy and heart touching.

Background Score by Gulraj is beautiful.

Dialogues by Ram Mori are earthy , fresh, very relatable and people reaction im theatres prove that.

Now to performances : & the Award goes to Ratna Pathak Shah, Manasi Parekh, debutante Viraff Patel ....They are flawless and magical .The pairing of Ratna Pathak Shah & Manasi Parekh is a Master stroke. Dharmendra Gohil supports wonderfully and is brilliant at it. Darsheel Safary , Manasi Varde are good.

Overall a Movie that needs no language as this could be in any language as Himan Emotions are the same everywhere in any language, just the geographical locations need a change. Here its Kutch, so its gujarati. The movie is with Subtitles in Emglish so its a boon that everyone one enjoy this beautiful piece of Cinema. GO WATCH IT ...

In this world where people don't support each other, this film best express culture, community and emotions with the same.

Actors specially worked amazingly. Mansi Parekh, Viraf Patel, Darsheel Safari, Ratna Pathak Shah.

Emotion of women in one sided relationship despite of having in it for 22 years. Mansi Parekh has portrayed it beautifully.

Ratna Pathak: Baaji- Best supporter of a daughter in law always wishes to have. Moving forward with generation.

Darsheel safari- best son a mother would always want. Who supports her.

Viraf Patel- art & artist. Best supporter every one would want

Classic Masterpiece.

Story presented in an amazing way. It's showing the cruel reality of this conventional society very beautifully and in acceptable manner.

In Bollywood, movies showing the real rigidity of male ego has been stopped or been rare after "Sahib Bibi Aur Gulam".

In Gujarat, just last two years back there was Hellaro, most liked movie of Gujarat's culture and developing cruel realities of conventional society..

This is a next movie I would love to rate after Hellaro.

I believe this movtcan be watched by anyone, with anybody.

You can watch this movie with family, with girlfriend, with wife, with friends, anyone.

Good to watch first time in theatre.

Thansk for reading my review.
