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.
