The last 30 minutes of this movie are riveting. Nana Patekar, a great actor at most times, has possibly given his best performance of all time.
Like some others here, I am also writing my first review because this movie was THAT good. However, I disagree that this is a movie about family estrangement - I feel this movie is basically about what happens to artists when they retire - the estrangemnt only provides the backdrop.
To start with, I thought Vikram Gokhale did some great scenes, but I think Nana was giving him the stage so to say. Nana's daughter also had a great scene when she asks him not to leave them. All this while, I thought Nana was ok, considering his high standards. But he absolutely turns it on in the last 30 minutes or so - it is a long drawn out soliloquy in the end as he is the only major character in most scenes - and Nana's eloquence comes to the fore.
I am tempted to call this the greatest movie I have seen - definitely the greatest Marathi movie and there have been some really good ones in the last few years. Hats off to Nana for an immense performance - over the last few years, I had my doubts if he had another great performance left in him - but this one blows away anything else I have seen from anyone.
Thanks also to Mahesh Manjrekar fro giving us yet another great Marathi movie.
This is MUST watch - I am two years late to it, but I am happy I got there in the end.
