Vinayak Trivedi

Sairaat, a movie of romantic genre, is an ordinary story of a couple fighting from casteism in India, but with a different presentation. Movie starts off good, giving time to build character of Parshya in first 20 minutes. Ample time is given thereafter building the character of Archie and their romantic relationship. Hence, at any point of time in movie, you don't feel disconnected or missing something. The Best thing about this movie is the Acting of main characters, direction and Music. The plot and background seems so realistic as compared to rural India, giving an essence of the casteism issues going to arise later in the movie. The actual Description of slums in second half of movie is the best any director can achieve. Rinku Rajguru got the best actress award for her role of Archie. Music of the movie is yet another aspect to praise for. The romatic relationship between Archie and Parshya is best accompanied by Intense music given by Ajay-Atul. Though the movie is gripping in overall, there is a time in second half when things start becoming very predictable, and you start losing interest in this 'cliche' story. But then, the director comes up with his masterstroke ending. The movie ends at a place, which is really unpredictable, and leaves the audience in an emotional trauma. The ending of movie in itself raises a question, and highlights another major social issue prevalent in India. Overall, one must watch this movie once, it is totally worth it, considering many aspects which the movie excels at.
