Swargandharv Sudhir Phadke

The movie was well filmed! Stop giving hate for senseless reasons like actors and dialogues... You guys will not accept someones success and will be burnt by jealousy.. You must have creative mind and maturity to understand the down period of babuji's life.... I know no one will appreciate the efforts and stubbornness of writer and director yogesh ji!

Otherwise everyone just enjoys so called senseless Bollywood movies...just accept and appreciate the making of this Marathi movie which taught young generations about the down periods of legend babuji!... I'll rate this movie as 9/10.

Yogesh ji did 3 years of research on babuji and ofcourse that was dedicated work!

It was worthy watching Swargandharv sudhir phadke!

Support this movie and marathi legends!

This movie is a great musical nostalgic experience.

Babuji and his hardships to get recognized as an established composer and singer is aptly portrayed.

Please do watch this movie.

Especially post reading his autobiography you can relate the movie much more. ( Autobiography- Jagachya pathiwar)

The dedication and struggle for almost 25+ years leads to Babujis entry in composing for marathi movies.

The relations are very nicely put by the director.

The Friendship of Ga Di Madgulkar and Babuji is shown in a great manner.

A treat for those who have experienced Babujis live singing and on records too.

A must watch !

Outstanding groundwork by director..Mesmerizing Music that has lasted for generation..A big thank you to the creators for using original voices in music..All time Classic songs are woven so beautifully along the flow of the story that in some cases they fit even better than their original films.

The film beautifully shows the human nature and conflits between legendary artists without hurting anyone's feelings.

Editing as been perfectly done. You dont feel even a single scene could have been excluded.

There isnt a single audience in marathi world who has not heard or murmured these time songs.

An absolutely must watch film.

Watched it on the first day as a movie is about Babuji. I want to mention one thing here. If you are a devotee of Babuji or if you want to feel the nostalgia of that era, then do dare to watch this movie. Because if you go to evaluate the movie even a little, you will be disappointed. Good about the movie: 1. Music: What to say about Babuji's music? . Babuji's original voice along with newly recorded instrumental music or background music is very well used in the movie. So it doesn't feel like you're listening to old records.

2. Friendship of Babuji and Ga Di Ma: This is another pleasant side of the movie.

3. Not taking unreasonable cinematic liberties is also a plus point Now let's move on to whats bad: 1. Story: Making a film on a man so big and whose life is so full of drama, the story should be overwhelming. However, the story of this movie is not even acceptable. Very convoluted and simple plot.

2. Flawed Screenplay: This screenplay is an example of how not to write a screenplay. In some cases, there is no advance or hindrance.

3. Poor acting: People act better in school plays than this.

4. General Dialogue: Here in 1-2 instances young Sudhir Phadke speaks very impure Marathi (Me Gelelo .. etc ) We all know how conscious Sudhir Phadke was about language. In general the dialogue writing is also bad.

5. Wrong Casting: The actor who played Prabhakar Jog's character looks closer to Sudhir Phadke in real life. Sunil Barve does not look like babuji at all. The actor who plays Tarun Sudhir Phadke is very chubby. And in some cases (Sudhir, you have become thin from starvation), there is no time to laugh or cry while listening to dialogues like this. Characters like Kishore Kumar, Rafi, Ashok Ranade etc. Seem like clowns.

6. Makeup: How did Sunil Barve's hair stay intact till the end? Babuji had lost a lot. Also the makeup team has failed to show Sudhir Phadke leaning from youth to old age. Babasaheb Purandare is clean bearded in one scene, and shows a thick beard in the next scene. Well, this incident is for one night.

Anyway, I don't see such a good subject waiting so long.

Yogesh Deshpande's direction combines music and drama in such a impactful way that it left me stunned. As visually stunning and beautifully scored as it is truly captivating. Swargandharva Sudhir Phadke's biography is worthwhile, sending out a poignant message about following one's dreams.

Yogesh's film is well-crafted enough to also work as a drama which highlights an artist's real life struggle.

Movie in itself is a compelling character-driven story that invites viewers inside the life struggling story of Sudhir Phadke and provides them with a timeless story throughout. Its message about obsession and music is worship is poignant and will remain relevant throughout.
