Kaagar

It appears that the producer and director only wanted to cash in on the female lead cast whose first movie was a big commercial hit. They failed to realise that her first movie was a hit only because of one song. That movie was just ok. And her acting skills are below mediocre. In India, a movie with with no storyline and talentless actors can become a hit only on the basis of one song or item number. There are many such instances. This movie hence suffers. The storyline is drab and the acting is below par. Sure flop. Skip this.

Thrilling yet beautifully directed by makarand mane and rinku rajguru as always she is amazing

This is becoming the new trend that, take a rural location, rural script, rural language, and rustic abusive characters etc.. Sairat was one of a kind, so was fandry, it was more of a substantial type of craft, not just a film drama. There was a message, there was reality, there was superstition and the behavior towards the lower caste people.

This movie kaagar tries to implicate the rural format drama, but its more of a imposed drama than a substance. And many times it seems like the director tried to imitate the sairat movie scenes. Thats now even possible to the sairat's director himself now. That film is over, done, it cannot be repeated in any manner whatsoever.. Yes make the rural area related films, but unlike any other film, which doesn't resemble any other movie at all, here the biggest mistake director made was that he took the same actress from the previous movie sairat, which was a super duper hit, and it completely seemed like its the imitation and not an original film.

All players and part does not relate to each other. Worst part of movie is story , screenplay and direction.

KAAGAR REVIEW :-

Makarand Mane was a name to remember for classic film 'Ringan'. Then he had forgettable project 'Youngraad' which can barely be called mediocre. Kaagar was that perfect opportunity to come back strongly where Production Value, Cast, Overall impression and almost everything falling at right place. The opportunity is missed and how? By far, actually. One would have never expected it to be such disaster but gotto move on now.

Kaagar lacks the basic ornaments of writing, and the logic as well. The writer seemed confused asking himself questions like whether is it a Love Story or a political drama or a what else? The script has a story to tell about Rani (Rinku Rajguru), Yuvraj (Shubhankar Tawde) and Guruji (Shashank Shende) changing thier basic perspective continuesly. At one moment it looks like a smooth going love story, suddenly it turns into a political drama and then again turns the genre to thriller/suspense (not exactly). And what do we get as a final output? A Clueless Film. Moving towards the acting zone, the trio Rinku Rajguru, Shubhankar Tawde and Shashank Shende easily sells it on thier acting. Even other cast members put thier best. Screenplay is not that long and thank God it's not, those 120 minutes passes without any boring moments if you can forgive the basic writing. Action and violent scenes are damn realistic and perhaps the best part of the film. Music too passes quickly keeping the pace intact. Decency of cinematography and locations is has been kept. Makarand Mane's Direction is completely Lost. One can still remember his Ringan and that class for some years but here you don't see a single glimpse of that class.

Too much of cinematic liberty and fictitious vision of writer+director has taken Kaagar far away from common sense. It does not really give you any reason to give it watch, neither it win as Love Story nor as Political Drama. The basics has to get right otherwise you never come in a race, Ringan is that Horse which never comes in a race yet fails. You keep searching for at least one reason to call it a Good film and the search never ends.

RATING- 4/10*
