Gabhricha Paus is a realistic cinematic portrayal of the plight of Vidarbha farmers. It accurately depicts the melange comprising of-- dearth of structured agricultural credit, dependence on monsoon, farmers' ignorance, posthumous compensation for suicides, rural loan sharks,emotional trauma of farmer's wives, and hopelessness of a people who have become accustomed to the spate of suicides.
If you have read newspaper articles about farmer suicides and never appreciated the gravity of the issue; this movie will be an eye-opener.
The screenplay and direction manages to infuse black humor despite the grave nature of the topic. Both Girish Kulkarni and Sonali Kulkarni have acted well. Perhaps, a more experienced director could have tied the few loose ends in editing and cinematography and made a masterpiece. However, it is still a great movie. Highly recommend it.
