Satya Prakash's POV

Film: Sairat

Film SAIRAT is slap on face of Modern Indian society.

Subtle way of communication about love story between high caste girl and low caste boy during schooling has been showcased in a film “SAIRAT” with full conflict of class-caste shift or conflict of caste-class shift of Indian society by sensitive director Nagraj Manjule.

Is this new subject for Marathi or all India audiences? Not at all dear. It is the reality of Indian society. However, film “Sairat” moves ahead in its screenplay with easy penetration into heart and mind of audiences to churn of barbarity of castes. Love starts between two protagonists in the school fascinates, embeds and make the audiences so familiar that these guys do not seem outsider. So their brutal end has profoundly leave emotional impact on audiences.

Art of visual flow with narration of the story is simple, soothing and watery that imbibes audiences in various emotions. Audiences do not detach from the flow of film for a second and that is the meticulous catch of director Nagraj Manjule who has appealed all India audiences to get rid of barbarity of killing the love-birds of different strata of society. Director does not infuse a simple commercial element in the film that does not prevent the flow of story-progression. Film has all new castes. And all new things and simplicity of the subject work to greater extent.

Contrary to this film, Bollywood has two films on this subject of “owner killing” but both the films “KHAP” and “OWNER KILLING” faltered at Box Office and ultimately they died down. Reason is obvious. To make it commercial and spice or masala film, the same content got fiasco.

The empathetic and catchy point of the film is crying baby of the murdered love-birds ( wife-husband). The baby is not understand as to why their parents are lying in blood. Baby comes back, stumbling to a neighbor lady and film fades out with pathetic silence

.

Film “Sairat” means freedom and film is successful in this regard to provoke the greater mass of India. India needs freedom from caste system and all divisive evils. Communications reach in second and we are advancing on digital wave but our society is so divisive that love-birds are murdered because of high clan and caste.  The Film SAIRAT has transcended the boundary of state, language and attracted people across the country and world. Film is still catching huge collection on Box office.

The music by Ajay- Atul has galvanized the progression of film.

Director’s greatest caliber is to allow the natural flow of story on screen of Cinema and Mr.Nagraj has succeeded.
