SHWAAS is, no wonders, the best movie I've ever seen.I seems a intelligent man's movie.Sandeep has made a wonderful movie. Watching movie it seems to be a simple movie.But I am sure Sandeep and his team had lot of efforts and dedication into this movie. When I saw it first time , I was shaken and I couldn't control my tears. I has been a long time that I was crying, watching a film. It made me every factor of life to think upon again. Acting performances of all the characters were at their best. Special mention of child actor. Sandeep , u did a excellent job..................and hope to c u carry on from this , get the Oscars, and make another beauty. ALL THE BEST.

Shwaas is awesome ! considering that the producers had a meagre budget, they have done an excellent job. It is a must watch. The small kid has done an excellent job with a lot of emotions flowing through his eyes. Grandfather is at his best. The photography is superb. Technically correct and very creative. It helps in adding a lot of emotions to the mainstream content. The movie will keep u engrossed and don't be surprised if you are shaken after the movie and the story lingers in your mind for a few days.I sincerely hope that they make it to the final Oscar nomination
Enjoy and again don't miss it

I remember the pre-Shwaas era wherein going to the theatres never meant watching Marathi movies. In fact, in my teenage years, Shwaas was my first Marathi movie in theatres. Often cited as the movie that provided the "Shwaas" necessary for Marathi movies to live on, it is a lesson in acting by the great but unheralded Arun Nalawade. That it went to the Oscars is a proud moment for Marathi cinema but more importantly it created the ecosystem for Marathi cinema to prosper in the form of more screens, higher political interest, a new re-energised audeince, large production houses and an intelligent film fraternity.
After a very long time Marathi cinema has come with some good movie.This movie is one of the best Marathi movies ever made. It shows how a old grandfather tries to save his grandsons eye. He tries everything that is possible in his hands to save the child's eye. Doctor and a relative of his tries to help him in his attempt.
The acting by the grandfather, the boy and the doctor are simply superb. They have shown true picture of a typical Marathi life. Every bit of action has some meaning in it. I would recommend to watch this movie, as initially I thought this one would be of documentary type but this was above my expectations.
This film is really going to touch your hearts.I would expect more Marathi movies to come up with performances like this.
