Phulrani

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

A remake of Pygmalion is always an audacious proposition... One it has a legacy that the makers need to be careful about.. From Julie andrews in theatre to Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady to our erstwhile Late Bhakti Barve singing "tula shikwin changlach dhada" - the actress in the lead role anyway has a Herculean task as the comparisons are obvious

Priyadarshini as "Phulrani" totally lives up to her role and you actually live her dream and emotions throughout the film - her honesty and her vulnerability both endearing - at the end of the film your heart is happy that she has created a niche of her own Subodh Bhave - well someone who has a range to play Lokmanya Tilak to Balgandharva to Kashinath Ghanekar - this gentleman can do just about anything in life

Ably supported by the rest of the cast the film engages you till the very end

And with a lighthouse like Vikram Kaka in his last film he nails it with his dialogues - "bag gheun ja baggage nahi" - the expressions, the dialogue delivery, the reconciliation with his son - truly wanted to hug him wherever he is

Phulrani takes us through all the beautiful emotions - the laughter, the remorse, the metamorphosis of the character doing justice to the original - whilst adapting beautifully to the modern times especially the climax - kudos to the director Vishwas Joshi

And when your dearest friend is one of the producers of this film you come out as happy as Eliza Doolittle singing

"I could have danced all night And still have begged for more"

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.

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!

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...
