This movie tells about a love that knew no boundaries. A gripping story that shows that love is not a passing fancy or a fleeting emotion, rather it is a chore that doesn't end with being the person one loves. The movie has beautifully captured the essence of that first innocent love that is pure. We see how the twist and turns of life slowly starts to corrode that love. And we learn a that being a lover/ a partner isn't easy but the idea is to never give up. The end is totally unexpected and horrifying, and yet that is the sad truth of our society. Overall, an awesome movie with a realistic portrayal in today's modern times.

I never feel such sadness what I feel after watching this movie. The mentality of our society is so disgraceful. The portrait of Archie and Prashant is so so good. I love both characters and I recommend to all of you who are bit emotional like me should watch this movie I can guarantee that after watching this movie they have some tears in their eyes.

What a movie, Great direction supported by excellent acting. Very natural and realistic, Never felt these actors are complete new comers.. great to see such movies being made in regional languages, away from regular glittery over the moon movies. Ending was chilling which emphasizes honor killings, which are happening even in this so called modern India. There are many other scenes told in the background like couple being thrashed by some mobs when lead actors are riding on their activa.. small but powerful points brought up which needs to be looked into and thought of. Wish to see many more such movies being made by Indian film industry.

Sairat was a Bollywood style promoted Marathi movie. On Kapil Sharma's show (de rigeur promotion for all Bollywood releases), the Sairat team without any filmy airs, endeared themselves to the audience. This would have ensured viewership at least in Mumbai from a lot of people who normally do not see Marathi movies. And rightly so - Sairat should be subtitled in all Indian languages.The acting is superb, especially considering the newcomer cast without any filmy background. Hats off to Nagaraj Manjule for excellent casting and introducing this wonderful new talent.When you watch the film you feel you are watching a real life sequence of events with real people in real places. The people, the language, the village, the rural Maharashtra setting, the slums, life for the poor in a big bad city; everything is straight out of reality. The songs are the only thing that bring you back to cinema. No complaints mind you, the music is good and has in fact hit the charts.Effectively in brief, this is about a lower class - lower caste boy loves upper caste rich politically connected girl in a rural society where such relationships are taboo. They somehow elope and start a new life in a big bad city where through various ups and downs and huge lessons in harsh reality beyond the rose tinted hues of young love, they manage a reasonable family life. But fate has other plans and the ending is what the real news usually portrays of a feudal Haryana khap, light years removed from rural Maharashtra. Or is it?The last scene of the blood stained footsteps of the toddler as he leaves the house, is bloodcurdling. This is Manjule's masterstroke and a lesson to other film makers that graphic scenes have better effect in implied rather than express depiction. The finale hits hard because of the strong current of reality throughout the film. The cast is completely believable as the people they portray.Everything was perfect about this film. I hope Indian cinema moves more towards realistic depiction as the trend seems to indicate. I also hope that such movies help our feudal regressive mindset change for the better.
