Hence, usman undersrstands jyotiba complete and supports Jyotiba Once Again Decides to open a school and this time, he changes his strategy. What Happens Next Forms The Rest of the Film.
Phule movie story review:
The story is incredible and inspiring. Ananth Narayan Mahadevan and Muazzam beg’s screenplay is a mixed bag. A Few Scenes Leave an impact but many scenes fail to give a sense of high. Muazzam beg’s dialogues are hard-Hitting, but only in some places.
Ananth Narayan Mahadevan’s Direction Could have been better. To give credit where it’s due, he brings to celluloid the story of a man who contribution to our country has been immense. Hence, it’s particularly heartening to see how Jyotiba Phule Burgt Change in Society Despite Numerous Challenges. A Few Scenes Stand Out Like Jyotiba Being Dragged To Court, Jyotiba Leaving His House But Making Sure That His Property Share Remains Intact, Jyotiba Opening a School by the Banks of a Rivor White with the Help of Lahuji Raghoji Salve (Dhanjay Madrekar), etc. Two Scenes that also deserve special mention are when jyotiba keeps walking while vinayak and his friends try to avoid his shadow and savitri admonishing the same group for not stopping the disx
On the Flipseide, The Film Suffers Majorly Due to its Lacklustre Treatment. Except for the AforeMed Scenes, The Rest of the Film does not pack a punch. One doesnight get totally invested in their journey because of the execution. As it happy with many biopics, phule also have an episodic approach; So, The Director Moves from one Episode to another without letting the viewers process it. A few instances are not properly presented. Jyotiba Phule is also a Municipal Contractor but this aspect is Merely Talked About. We never get to see how he managed that work while also Fighting social evils. The sequence of barbers giving up tonsuring widows is too quick to make any impact.

Phule Movie Review Performances:
Pratik Gandhi is Excellent and Constantly Rises Above The Weak Script and Direction. It’s praiseworthy to see the subtle changes in his body language on Gets older. Patralekhaa gets a bit overshadowed by Pratik’s Towering Performance. But there are Scenes where she manages to hold on to her own and delivery an effective performance. Jayesh more and akshaya gurav are too good and get to play extramely interesting and adorable characters. Darsheel Safary (Yashwant) is horribly wasted. A Character like this should have had had more to do than just be a bystander. Vinay Pathak Leaves a Mark. Joy Sengupta is Decent but after a point, his act gets repetitive. He’s simply staring angrily and getting rebuked by jyotiba for almost the whole film. Alexx O’nell (Ribbs Jones), Ellie (Ribbs Jones’ Wife) and Sara (Cyntia Farar) Lend Able Support. Dhanjay Madrekar, Sushil Pandey, Amit Behal, Asit Redij, Vishal Tiwari (Tatyasaheb Bhide) and Akanksha Gade (Kashibai) Are Decent.
Phule Movie Music and Other Technical Aspects:
ROHAN-ROHAN’s Music does not have a shelf life. Both versions of ‘Saathi’ Are forgettable. ‘Dhun Lagi’ is catchy to some extent. ROHAN-ROHAN’s Background Score is Well-Woven Into The Narravet.
Sunita Radia’s cinematography is approves. Aparna Shah’s Costumes and Santosh Phutane’s Production Design are reminiscent of the bygone era. Rounak Phadnis’ Editing Could have been Slicker.
Phule movie review conclusion:
On the whole, phule tells the story of a legendary social revolutionary and rests on the Towering performance of Pratik Gandhi. But the film Greetly Sufrs on Account of a Weak Script and Lacklustre Direction. At the box office, it’ll revgly go unnoticed.
