Kaksparsh

Set in 1930s, this Marathi movie revolves around a strong relationship of a widow and her brother in law. Beautiful cinematography, strong lines and great acting has held the movie for its 2 hrs 15 min.

The movie starts with a Hari completing the last rites of his brother and then gradually moves to set the scene. Uma, his brother's widow, is forced to live a strangled life and faces many hardships. The only support she gets is from Hari, who for some reasons is willing to fight against the society. The movie shows their relation over the next 10 years. What makes it so special is the constant question that it makes the audience bother. The end is very thoughtfully written and sticks with you for days after the movie is over.

This movie has taken Marathi film industry to new heights. Recommended watch with sub titles for all audiences!

I saw this film on Channel four. I found the narratives and story telling of this film very holding and engaging. It moved from scene to scene without dragging. As a non- maharastrian I fonud easy to follow the dialogues and subtitles. Cinematography filming has been sharp and clear. quality was excellent, adding to value of films. As a main protagonist Sachin Khedekar is simply brilliant. On IMDb there is only one critic review, who seems to be disappointed with the film. He claims to be missed opportunity. He seems to have read Usha Datar's book with the same name, and is implying that book has material, if filmed well, would have been mind blowing. I am not likely to read that book and will not be able to support or deny the claim that this film is a misopportunity. I personally found it to be a good film, worth seeing it.

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.

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.

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!
