Main strength of pushkara is in its writing and direction very good adoptaion from a novel . The director subhrashu das and the writers did a superb job, i dont know why odia industry,media, critics wont praise them or promote them well everyone is praising the hero though the hero Sabyasachi promoted the movie well and whatever the movie will earn 60 percent due to his promotion only but one shouldnt ignore the filmmakers and writers else odia cimena will have same four old directors who just make poor copy of south bollywood and now koren movie and same writers who only know ctrl+c and ctrl+v in the name of writing. Technically this is a wellmade movie as the dirctor himself is a dop so this movie captures essense of puri and characters as far as actors sabyasachi did a very good job its his best work till date though he may not be the most talented actor but he is one of the most hardworking and in this movie his hardwork surpasses talent of many. Supporting cast like ashrumochan, choudhury bikas das and late pintu nanda are good. Production houses should not cast their staffs as major characters in these kind of movie. The main surprise in the movie is supriya as sunanda she killed it after so many yrs i have seen a odia female actor performing so amazingly she is one of the rare talent if she becomes more choosy and work in better movies and scripts she will become one of the greatest female actor from odisha. Hopefully we can see more movies like pushkara.
