A must watch for the amazing actors, milieu and characters.
The trailer of this film promised me a humorous thriller with lots of absurdities.
And the film definitely delivers each one of them. From the first frame itself , we are hooked to the amazing milieu of Bundelkhand, its quirky characters, their amazing dialects and the brilliant actors who portrayed them. The few songs of the film are hummable and very interesting. Through all these this film successfully highlights the patriarchal attitude of the society, the double standards, the caste discrimination, the gender discrimination, the corruption etc. And all this is done without sounding preachy.
But at the same time the film deviated from the core plot of searching for the stolen jackfruits. It drags from the moment the film focuses on the search for the missing girl. Because here the absurdities do not work and the film loses its charm.
And the biggest disappointment is the climax resolution of the search for missing jackfruits.
Still the film is a must watch for its intent, characters, milieu and actors.
