Phulrani

Powerful and simple wholesome movie. Though many versions /adaptation of Pygmallion are made, Phulrani standard out with a contemporary twist. Very subtle father Son relationship depicted. Very nicely written with class dialogues. " Take bag, leave the baggage " spoke a lot. Subodh Bhave and Vikram Gokhale are seasoned actors but the lead Phulrani played by Priyadarshini as like a breath of fresh air. What distinguishes this movie from other adaptations is the way story is told and unfolda. And that makes it today's film for every generation. Superb acting by everyone and masterpiece direction by Vishwas Joshi. A must watch. Go for it...

Watched a Marathi movie on the big screen after a very long time and it was an extremely enjoyable and cathartic experience for me. For me this movie is special because this was my father's last Marathi movie and to see him on the big screen in such a grand way was sheer delight. It gave me closure in a way, after his recent passing away, and I felt that he is still there with me as I watched the film. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this delightful film, from its stellar cast to the story to the direction and art and production quality. It was very nice to see a Marathi movie delve into the world of the fashion industry and showcase that life so well. Subodh Bhave is phenomenal and matching his caliber at every step is the debutant Priyadarshini Indalkar. You never feel that this is her first film, she has the confidence and chutzpah of a seasoned actress! A particular scene comes to mind where my father dances the waltz with her. I remember him telling me about this scene and how he looked forward to learning this dance. His enthusiasm at this age amazed me and his hard work clearly shows in the scene. I found the direction and the editing to be very tight and engrossing too. Every song was absolutely melodious and I'm still humming them in my mind!

All in all this film will always remain special to me because it is my father's last curtain call before he left us all and because it is an outstanding film!

Great story, lovely characters, amazing acting, good music, nice dialogues.

Twists in the movie make it interesting, including the ending, it's unexpected and warm.

The actress has done a fabulous job, doesn't feel like her first movie, she has acted like a seasoned person - with the accent and the transition and portrayal of two distinct personalities.

The movie is engaging right from the start and keeps one wondering what next and how. The comedy is good too.

A lot of real situations, characters and dialogues make it even more interesting.

Definitely recommend watching, ideally a theatre watch.

Phulrani by Vishwas Joshi Got opportunity to watch movie Phulrani last week. Comparison with the old Play 'Tee Phulrani' played by Late Bhakti Barve & Satish Dubhashi was inevitable. However, after watching the movie felt new package is much better.

We were completely awestruck with the treatment given by Director Vishwas Joshi and characters played by various actors. We were truly delighted watching it and performances especially by newcomer Priyadarshini Indalkar in lead role. She has done a phenomenon job apart from regular stalwarts like Late Vikram Gokhale & Subodh Bhave. Must compliment her and the director for wonderful experience to viewers. Film was good in adaption of original story by George Bernard Shaw, P L Deshpande and now Vishwas Joshi. Especially end of the movie and monologue of Phulrani was extremely convincing and touching and very well played by Priyadarshini.

The adapted story, dialogues, acting, editing, speed of movie, songs all were fabulous and I sincerely recommend all movie lovers to watch it atleast once. Wonderful package for all.

As displayed at the end, look forward for sequel next year..... Congratulations all !

My wife and I saw Phulrani one Sunday evening without any prior knowledge/ background , without too many expectations and were pleasantly surprised.

This is a well made , light hearted movie , with good production values with acting to boot . The movie is a visual treat with lovely costumes pleasing to the eye and some very good dialogues . We enjoyed the movie . I must add that my wife is not very familiar with Marathi and even so with the help of the subtitles , was engrossed throughout this entertaining film which has no violence or bloodshed .

Definitely worth a watch with family if you want to be entertained and still at the end leaves you with something to ponder.
