Review of Sairat

Sairat (2016)
6/10
Reality bites.
29 June 2017
As someone who does not speak Marathi, this was my first exposure to its cinema. I saw the people behind this movie interviewed on a comedy show and it seemed like it would be worth checking out. Overall it was a decent movie. I think it was a bit too long for the content and message it conveys. There was nothing new really, the same vein as Romeo/Juliet, QSQT, Ishaqzaade and on and on. Hopefully the movie will help many naive couples who are experiencing puppy love during their adolescent years. The patriarchy ingrained in the culture and the antiquated value of viewing women of the family as personal property leads to so called "honor" killings. The first half of the movie was way too long, it got better in the 2nd half; the last 15 mins are the best part of the movie. Truly haunting.
