Hellaro

It would not be exaggerating if I call it the best movie released till now in year 2019 across all languages. Anything and everything about this movie is just perfect. The director ( Abhishek Shah is a very well known name in Gujarati Theatre fraternity) has taken of care each and every minute details, music is just mesmerising, choreographers have done their job so nicely, you will not see such kind of use of Garba in any other movie, in past and for next many years to come. Singers like Aditya Gadhvi, Bhumi Trivedi, Aishwarya Majmudar and Shruti Pathak are icing on the cake. Saumya Joshi has given life to it by giving fantastic lyrics and all dialogues in the movie. And best part is all the actors, particularly female cast ( not a single flaw I could find in anybody's acting) Jayesh More sir deserves a big award for his role in movie (May be oscar only .. watch movie , you will not find it even little exaggerating ).

I know it would be difficult for any non gujju to comprehend full essence of dialogues, however, please go and watch, you will find this the best movie in 2019 because of its music, acting, screenplay, storyline and whatnot. (For gujjus, you would love each and every dialogue written by Saumya Joshi sir) Loved each and every moment of this movie

Movie is awesome. This is my first Gujarati movie. If don't know Gujarati watch with subtitle.

Well, I don't know from where should I start?

This movie is just mind-blowing in each and every department whether it is Music, Direction, Acting, Cinematography, Set Design, Costumes, Choreography, etc.

When I moved out of the theater after watching this movie, I felt like I time-traveled. Hellaro is so much engaging that you literally feel that you're in a small village of Kutch-Gujarat in the year of 1975.

Hellaro is a perfect choice for winning the National Award for Best feature film.

This movie has everything which as an Audience I need.

Deep meaning Dialogues and Music works like icing on a cake.

I request you to watch this movie with your family even if you aren't Gujarati.

A must watch movie!

This is my first Gujarati movie, Watched with subtitles "on", Hellaro is a movie worth watching not only for its message but for showcasing the different shades of a woman. The garba dance sequences are amazing I think its worth it.

it is really based on the tales on the vrajvani dham temple where the women of ahir caste sacrificed their life for playing garba.

A visual treat, strong acting, Excellent music,very basic yet powerful message,emotional journey of characters, irony this films offers all.

No matter what is your native language is, read subtitle if you like, you will be immersed into the river of emotions!

Being a cinema lover, I felt that India just missed an opportunity of bringing Oscar home by not sending HELLARO to Oscars. Deep meaning Dialogues and Music works like icing on a cake.

I request you to watch this movie with your family even if you aren't Gujarati.

A must watch movie!

One of the finest movies of the year. It's in-depth research of 70's society of regional India is breathtakingly mesmerising. Characters are well developed, cinematography is top-notch, acting is commendable, music is groovy, direction is good. Writing was always going to be tricky as it is a period drama, and it has thus few plot holes. But acting, dialogues are saviours to direction and Hellaro is an enjoyable film. Very few dull moments (that too if you find those cheesy), else it's an excellent film.

P. S. If you expect Satyajit Ray or Bimal Roy type direction, might get misunderstood. This is a film to embrace change when the world and society is changing. With no sense of economical background shown and all that of social areas have been discussed, film required no serious raw scenes. Its quite natural out there where any modern Indian village people would do what's required.
