Ananya

While the Bollywood fraternity is either indulged in promoting (and discussing at the same time) nepotism, trolling the ones who do not fit into and trying to expand its horizons with crossover cinema, here is a subtle, symbolic film that would lift up your spirits. There are some redundant elements and few melodramatic components that undermine the quintessence of the film however, it is a thought provoking narrative on disability that is evolutionary, less slavish.. inspiring story based on an award winning play. Hurts Durgule gives a commendable performance. 'D' for dignity not disability.. A great watch.

It is a one of a kind film especially in Marathi film industry. Every actor has given a splendid performance. A special mention to Hruta Durgule and Amey Wagh. Hruta has portrayed the role of Ananya so effortlessly. Hats off to her efforts in carrying out difficult tasks with her feet with such a ease in debut role itself!!! Amey literally made audiences laugh in the theatre with the way he delivered his funny dialogues. What a confidence Amey!! Its indeed a sensible and a must watch film which is full of emotions and laughter. Awaiting more such marathi films!!

I dont write review for all the good films i like. Like pushpa i liked the movie but i did not write any review.

But ananya is special, that i felt the urge and i was moved by the fact that there are such people. Yet they find a way to go around their disablity .

I have watched two back to back hrutas movies, first being Timepass 3 and now ananya. I was never a Hrutas fan. Infact I always felt she was over rated or over hyped. But hey, Hruta just got out of her comfort zone in both the novies. And she blew my mind in Timepass 3 and now Ananya. She is the next legend in the making. If I am ever doing a film.. I am casting her for sure. I can say the scripting is little weaker but the film still carries itself forward. End could have been a little shorter. But amey wagh and the end scene of ballroom dance and cycle made up for it. As for writing of this film. Usually it is difficult what a writer can write for such a topic. But the filmmaker made a commendable effort. And when such thing is made in Marathi Cinema. We should appreciate for their efforts. Overall the film is a must watch. But you will find something missing. But that's not a problem. I felt the pain of ananya and the message she wants to deliver. Thats important.

Thank You to entire cast for making this one of best movies I watched.

Script was very very difficult, but the way everyone acted completely justified the script and conveyed all the script writer's feelings with depth of each feel to the audience without any adulteration.

Hruta, I have no words. You made my tears ooze out. God has gifted you with such great skill. Hats off to your efforts.

Scenes that touched me -

• When hruta is thrown on chair by her bro and she was feeling dejected and hurt.

• Dance at the end,

• Cycle ride at the end.

• When she writes her exam so neatly and completes it before everyone else.

Many more scenes... In fact, the whole movie.

Pure, serene efforts of all team.

Love you guys. Keep making such good movies. Our generation needs them.

Fantastic story! It was motivational till the end, but ruined the experience after Amey Wagh's entry. I don't understand what was in the mind of director/writer whatever. There was no need of adding love masala in the story. The story itself was enough to connect with the audience. I'm really disappointed with the end part.

Few scenes were really heart-touching. One of them and my favorite was brother eating cake with Ananya's foot. I was literally in tears.

The movie is one time watch! You may skip last 10 minutes of the movie.

(If Amey Wagh's character wasn't introduced then 8/10, otherwise 6/10 is enough)
