its a fun movie to watch and more so to listen. i do agree that to really enjoy the move one has to understand the varadi dialect of marathi. still its great fun. what is more commendable is that it is produced by people who are from non filmi background that to middle class.

A good Movie for those, who wants to enjoy good cinema

Flightreviewer:

On flight to India - I was unable to help myself watching it three times. That's in itself talks about quality. - Photography, Direction, and Acting are unmatched. For sure it's a winner.

For the folks like myself, who experienced the rural India, I was able to relate each and every scene of the movie.
