Pushkara

Main strength of pushkara is in its writing and direction very good adoptaion from a novel . The director subhrashu das and the writers did a superb job, i dont know why odia industry,media, critics wont praise them or promote them well everyone is praising the hero though the hero Sabyasachi promoted the movie well and whatever the movie will earn 60 percent due to his promotion only but one shouldnt ignore the filmmakers and writers else odia cimena will have same four old directors who just make poor copy of south bollywood and now koren movie and same writers who only know ctrl+c and ctrl+v in the name of writing. Technically this is a wellmade movie as the dirctor himself is a dop so this movie captures essense of puri and characters as far as actors sabyasachi did a very good job its his best work till date though he may not be the most talented actor but he is one of the most hardworking and in this movie his hardwork surpasses talent of many. Supporting cast like ashrumochan, choudhury bikas das and late pintu nanda are good. Production houses should not cast their staffs as major characters in these kind of movie. The main surprise in the movie is supriya as sunanda she killed it after so many yrs i have seen a odia female actor performing so amazingly she is one of the rare talent if she becomes more choosy and work in better movies and scripts she will become one of the greatest female actor from odisha. Hopefully we can see more movies like pushkara.

The story is 10 on 10, classic and represented the culture. In odia it is after years you will fins such type of raw story. It is about to bring the lost era of odia cinema. The essence of soil is clearly visible in the story. However direction would have been much better to justify more emotions to the story. Some cinematographic deficiency can be observed as well. Screenplay and other details are would have been better. Can be explained in little more detail so that it would have been a masterpiece. Overall the movie is a piece of art. It will left you in thoughts of life and its outcome. Will have a divine impact as well as peaceful feeling.

Watched an Odia movie after almost a decade after my friends seriously recommended it to me and hailed praises about the movie. I went in with a lot of apprehensions and borderline preconceived notion against the quality.

I was expecting it to be just another copy with the usual masala. But I was SO WRONG! It was such a WONDERFUL movie! I did not expect such quality from Odia movies to be honest!

This is an amazing movie with authentic Odia culture and real feel! I could feel that a lot of research and hard work has gone into learning and showcasing Odia culture in the movie. Hats off to the cast and the production team!

If you love realistic movies with real feelings, this one is for you!

If you love Odia culture, this one is for you!

PS: I was so impressed that I ended up creating an account just to post this review and congratulate the team!

PPS: This movie should definitely win a lot of awards! They deserve it!

Literally my minds have blown after watching the movie. What an amazing representation of culture and social taboos. The story line is just so emotional. Narration is praise able. Directon is to the point. Shoots have been in real locations. Lead actor sabyasachi made me fan of him. Lead actress tried her best. Some supporting characters can be best but it won't make feel you. Screen play is tight. It made my eyes wet in the climax. It was one of the best emotional climax ever I've watched. Literally it's a masterpiece of the Tarang cine production and I'm feeling guilty for not watching it in theatre. Just no words and recommend as must watch odia movie......... go fast and experience yourself the goosebumps.

When I first saw the movie still of Pushkara featuring Sabyasachi on temple stairs, I sensed it is going to be a unique Odia film. After watching it at Cinepolis in Esplanade, Bhubaneswar, I was truly impressed.

The cinematography, screenplay, music, and dialogues were exceptional, beautifully showcasing Odia culture with references to Boita Bandana, Sahi Jatra, Swarga Dwar, and the Puri accent.

Pushkara is a must-see for all, not just Odia viewers. It's thoughtfully subtitled in English, offering a glimpse of our beautiful state.

The casting was spot on. Sabyasachi Mishra delivered a versatile performance, and Supriya Nayak was delightful as Sunanda. Her character was well-defined and equally important.

The story unveils in layers, with some predictability but still holding the audience's attention. It evoked grief, suspense, drama, humor, and tragedy. The brilliant climax was as praised as described.

The audience laughed and related to the portrayal of Odia sons and daughters' complex relationship with their fathers. Many felt it was a personal failure not to meet their father's expectations. Tears flowed during the end credits, but Sabyasachi's in-person gracious entrance, thanking the audience, was a fitting conclusion.
