FILM REVIEW
-Lairai Karnik
A few weeks back, I watched the film Mee Shivaji Raje Bhonsle Boltoye .The story revolves around a middle-class man named Dinkar Bhonsle who is troubled because of the humiliations he has to face daily. The movie is mostly about love for your community and culture.

Shivaji Bhonsle, the great king and warrior, arises from his abode and sets out to his house. He tells him that he should be proud of his community and the humiliations that he has to face are not because he is a maharashtrian or that he is poor, but because of his inferiority complex.
After this incident, Bhonsle stops blaming people of other castes and starts living a much better life.
Overall, the movie is awesome. It is gripping and breathtaking from the start. It covers many genres and is very interesting. It also has hints of comedy in the middle.
For instance, when Bhonsle’s daughter, Shashikala Bhonsle, who wants to become a Bollywood actress, is rejected just because she’s a maharashtrian by a certain Gidwani, Bhonsle goes and asks him the reason. It’s really funny when Gidwani tells him that actually even he’s a maharashtrian and that his real name is Gaikwad.
I found the movie a bit similar to Lage Raho Munnabhai in which Mahatma Gandhi comes and meets Sanjay Dutt(Munnabhai) and in this movie Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj guides Sachin Khedekar (Dinkar Bhonsle)But otherwise, the two movies are on completely different topics.
Overall, the movie is totally balanced and doesn’t hurt the feelings of anyone, in any way. It also highlights some important issues like how important it is to vote and stuff. I think the movie’s great and worth a watch.
