Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The storyline is very simple. I loved the direction of Nagraj Manjule. The topic is little sensitive since it shows the upper cast & lower cast difference which exist in society. The Main character of the story is Jabya (Somnath Awghade) played this role very well.

You rarely get a chance to watch such a touching story. Many scenes do not even need any narration or dialogues to explain the situation you can actually feel it from your inner soul. Hats off to director Nagaraj Manjule and all non-actors in movie (you wont believe it - the first time actors) they has done excellent job.Movie is based on cast-ism in India.My one of favorite scene is the last scene of movie - where director shown really unique way to express his anger and frustration to the society. Thanks, Amit Dodake

Fandry is one of the most heart touching, off the track movie ever seen. Actually there are many movies in Marathi are well scripted but others lacks powerful ending. Fandry is well scripted with one of the best endings in Indian Cinema. Acting and scenes are natural, hats off to all for making such a real life drama. It correctly picks the main social issue of inequality, which many thinks is gone. But it still happens in small villages where inequality based on caste and economic conditions. Fandry is outcome of all these conditions.Never seen movie like this after 'children of heaven'. Its the only movie can be compared to.

This is truly an exemplary piece of art depicting the disparity in the Indian caste system which has plagued the Indian society for centuries & even today our society at large haven't been able to overcome.This is a movie about the aspirations of a village teenage boy from a very poor family of lower caste "kaikade". The family consists of ayi, appa, mulga (son Jabya) & mulgi(daughter). The family earns their livelihood by taking care of the cleanliness of the village to catching of pigs roaming around the village, so it leaves no doubt on the audience of the movie to realize the family's standard of living. Inspite of the challenge of 'hand to mouth' existence, Jabya likes going to school & is in complete disapproval of his families profession, particularly catching of pigs so that the pigs do not mess up the cleanliness of the high class people living in the village.The movie clearly depicts the Herculean task of a Father to get his daughter married particularly when the resources are scarce. The expressions of the father is very touching particularly when one tries to put himself in the shoes of a daughter's father, particularly because of the harsh circumstances of their struggle to merely survive. On the other hand, Jabya likes a girl from his class who is from higher class family & it is his strong desire to own a pair of new jeans & top just to look good & impress his love. This thought process itself proves the innocence of a pure soul which has fallen pray to the sweetness of love.The movie ends with the self realization of Jabya that the society in which he is a part of, has no appreciation or value for his thought process & ultimately is left disgruntled, remorse, shattered & heart broken only to bring in the darker side of a shattered soul.This writing wasn't an easy writing at all as compared to the other movies that I have watched & jotted down my feelings about it. It took me more than a days time to just to think & join in the dots of hollowness within our caste system. Last but not the least, every effort in making such great films that brings out the hollowness within society of so called noble & social living beings, deserves a great amount of respect & accolades in portraying the darkest side hidden somewhere within us. This movie , even though released in Marathi in 2013, in the so called era of "Hi-Fi Tech Savvy India", took me back to the era of 1960's the first ever Indian Academy Award winner Mr. Satyajit Ray who has made History in Indian Cinema for his epic titles "Pather Pachali, Aporajita & Apur Sansar" popularly known as "The Apu Trilogy". With existence of like minded filmmakers, it makes me believe beyond any doubt that the art of filmaking will stay alive for some more time for us to appreciate the hues of life.
