मी वसंतराव

You are a gifted singer, but fame eludes you. Hence you work as a clerk in a government office to make ends meet. But when you reach the age of 40, you quit your mundane job and passionately focus on singing. Gradually you attain success. Your vocal cords mesmerize your fans to such an extent that they forget to clap. The deafening silence becomes your ultimate compensation. Rahul Deshpande who plays the lead, is amazing. In supporting roles, Chirputkar, Wagh and Date are excellent. Music is outstanding. Do watch #MeVasantrao in cinemas. Running time needs to be reduced by 15 minutes. Rating 4/5.

Brilliant portrayal of the life of Pt Vasantrao Deshpande. I had the fortune of listing to a live performance of his. Was glad to get a peek into the personality that was.

Marathi society is fast losing the culture and the connect to the stalwart personalities that made up the society. This somehow connects to the past.

All the performances were good as were the songs. Last song was brilliant. Thank you for making this movie.

Truly a masterpiece paying homage to one of the greatest artists of all time! Rahul Deshpande has done a brilliant job and deserves every ounce of praise. A captivating tale with music woven through every distinct moment. A must watch for music lovers, and for people who still wish to hold on to classical music.

A true musical in every sense... The director has done a commendable job of making us experience the journey of Vasant rao Deshpande.

All actors have done a great job, especially the role of Vasantraos mother played by Anita Date.

And ofcourse, Rahul Deshpandes voice is mesmerizing as always. A must watch for all music lovers. A good message that the movie conveys.. its never too late to follow your passion...

We are emotional by nature, we love our heros, we put them very close to godliness and by doing so we unknowingly do injustice to the relentless efforts invested, scarifies made, journey travelled by them. We simply think these were gifted ones, and believe that the respect, the fame and the aura they have has been since very beginning.

Mee Vasantrao is an honest attempt to take you thru a journey of a gifted artist who was also a common, insecure man like most of us. His emotional struggle between fulfilling his responsibilities and his passion. His attempt to break boundaries of classical music and to experiment. His efforts to learn from all paths of music. His suffocation, his frustrations, his anger and his conflict with situation.

Nipun Dharmadhikari has done an exceptional job as a director in this story telling. Some critics typically raise concerns that biopics made in india lack research. This movie is an answer to those critics. The amount of research and hard work put in in script writing, dialogues and preproduction by Nipun and his team is pretty much visible in every scene and frame. A lot has been written about Vasantrao jee by various contemporary writers and music gurus. Some of his audio, video interviews are available to refer to. While portraying his character writers have very beautifully used references from these audios, videos and written literature. While portraying his exceptional talent and skill, Nipun has also made sure to make Vasantrao's character grey enough. This makes Vasantrao the character more human and the movie more real. He has shown vulnerable side of an artist without impacting the aura. There are number of scenes wherein a lot of verbos could have been used. Nipun does it the right way 'by using visual medium'. Characters hardly speak in important scenes and a convey a lot thru expressions, body language and eyes. Vasantrao's patch up with Darvekar master, Begum Akhtar jees or Lawani samaradni akkas appreciation for Vasantrao's gayaki, his visual interactions with PL while performing...there are tons of scenes worth mentioning of.
