Jogwa

I usually don't review any movies. And this is my first review. I must say it is a masterpiece in Marathi film history. We have seen the jogata's since childhood but never realised the pain they carry in back. This movie depicts the true story of them. Music was best in class. Story line was far better.

This film really moved me. The most apt portrayal of a jogta/ jogtin and the malpractices that go on in the tradition. Beautiful story, stellar performances by each and every character make this film an absolute masterpiece. Hats off to the writers, director Rajiv Patil, and of course Mukta Barve and Upendra Limaye, without whom, this might not have been, what it is. Also, great music by Ajay-Atul. If you're thinking whether or not to watch this film, just go for it. You'll get a new perspective towards your life. Extremely inspiring!!!

• Watch the songs! Lovely music, beautiful poetry.
• Great cinematography
• Great character development
• Great story line - Story starts out mildly interesting and gets intense
• Dialogues are deep

The movie stays with you for weeks and months. Its intense. Watch it.... it's worth the emotional expense. Just go prepared.

The film has a strong social message. Has a strong story that that is well written. Star performances are ace with Upendra's acting giving you goosebumps. It is kinda on the lines of Atif's Pakistani movie, Bol

The performances are outstanding, particularly from the lead actors, who embody their roles with raw emotion and authenticity. The cinematography beautifully captures the vibrant colors and textures of rural life, enhancing the film's thematic depth.

What sets "Jogwa" apart is its exploration of the jogta tradition-where individuals are believed to be possessed by divine spirits. This unique cultural context serves as both a backdrop and a catalyst for the characters' struggles, making the narrative rich and engaging.

The film's music is haunting and memorable, complementing the emotional arcs of the characters. Each song contributes to the storytelling, providing a haunting glimpse into their inner turmoil.

"Jogwa" is not just a film about love; it's a commentary on societal expectations, the clash between tradition and modernity, and the quest for personal freedom. With its compelling narrative and stunning performances, "Jogwa" deserves a solid 10/10 for its artistic merit and emotional impact. It's a must-watch for anyone interested in profound storytelling that resonates long after the credits roll.
