Sairat means "Wild".
A love story is the midst of a contemporary issue. Kudos for Nagraj Manjule's masterwork, he indeed is efficacious in displaying an innocent love saga comprising of ecstasies and agonies of life.
It is really an incredible groundwork for Marathi Cinema which has consistently been making remarkable movies but had only a limited reach, Sairat gave them the global platform and creative sovereignty.
The contemporary content, laced with an acquitted love story where lovers can never think of the repercussions, the pervasiveness of the cast system, the apathy of the people to these issues, and finally the effortlessness and virtue of the lead cast (who are actually not actors), made this movie a masterwork of the director.
By perceiving every frame of the movie, we can comprehend the alacrity of the director who had this vision since "Fandry" as it was a one sided love story, however Sairat is a full blown love story, Sairat shows the earthly matters, and it shows that there is life outside the chiffon cinema, the rural existence is a real thing and it captures the environment perfectly. The gender role reversal is the center theme of the movie which is a message of women empowerment.
Performances are radical, Akash Thosar is perfectly believable as a lad who already has the establishment in his mind that he is from a low caste, Rinku Rajguru is overwhelming as an audacious girl. Arbaz Shaikh (Salim) and Tanaji Galgunde (Langdya) have played the part with innocence and grace.
The camera-work is marvelous, mesmerizing tracking and drone shots, slow-motions give the authenticity to the scenes, it has mostly been shot on location (most in Nagraj's hometown Jeur, Solapur,), and the village has been shown beautifully.
The back ground score and songs are astounding, hats off to Ajay−Atul, also it is a first Indian film recorded at Sony Scoring Stage in Hollywood.
Sairat has been presented considerately and thoughtfully to the audience, it gives us a perspective about the mistreatment currently prevalent in India.
All the best for Nagraj and we are waiting for his next production.
A highly recommended movie for everyone.
9/10
