Balgandharv - Review

It's a Well made movie. Subodh Bhave was pleasant as Balgandharv and his performance is excellent. Other cast doesn't have a big role to play. Scenes where Balgandharv is performing after his daughter passes away, teaching to Gauhar Bai and his play performance when he was ill were really good.

Nitin desai's movie thus art direction is very good. I don't know the true story of Balgandharv, but somewhere it feels like stereotype drama. Will definitely remember Natrang & Harishchandrachi factory.

Surprisingly Vibhavari Deshpande is the same female lead acted in these three movies. It is upsetting to know that all great people suffer a lot in their lives and doesn't deserve the way their life ends. These are passionate people about their talent, work and don't bother about practicality of life. May be this is the reason they refuse to leave their work live stable life after 40.

Watch it atleast once to know Balgandharv and to feel golden era of Marathi Sangeet Natak.
