Kesari (Saffron)

A refreshing treat to all the senses. A thought provoking film with a strong dose of realism. The film has been made to connect with the audience with true emotions. Using Kusti (wrestling) as a backdrop, it's an attempt to capture the trials and tribulations of a passionate achiever against all social, familial, economic and political odds...to reach the pinnacle of success, to capture his dreams, to win the Kesari..

A film for everyone!

Direction is best .. acting is above par.. music is also great.. must watch all in one marathi movie..

Typically Indian movies are typically filmy with exaggeration, but this is an exception. This one sticks to the subject. No unnecessary love scenes, no unnecessary comic. Also this movie never tried to show main character as larger than life. It shows how a person with talent can be a master with hard-working (again without showing something extravagant or unimaginable things).

Kudos to Sujay Dahake and team for creating such good movie.

A really good Marathi movie on wrestling. Really good acting by all actors. He assa pahile song is worth listening to. Worth a watch. Loved it.

What worked: This movie was a very pleasantly satisfying watch experience. Mahesh stood out amongst the cast making a terrifying performance. Adding to the charm was Vikram Gokhale with limited screen time but a phenomenal one. Virat, as the lead, was a wonderfully done, and his transformation in the movie was real and distinct, making it a believable watch. The plus point of the movie is the direction and the strongest aspect surely is the writing and screenplay. It's written brilliantly, making it a believable narrative and a really great one What did not work If it was me , I would have taken out a song or two pertaining to romance. Also, some of the scenes felt a bit melodramatic considering a solid and realistic movie, which were fine but I would have shortened them. Besides this, no complaints Final verdict: highly recommended
