Gangoobai is terrific. Both, the movie and the lead character so marvelously played by Sarita Joshi not because it induces strong emotions, but it tells a tale of super moral and talks about the way we are or try to be in this YOLO generation.
A self-made woman, Gangoobai sets on a journey from Matheran to Mumbai only to buy a sari that made her go gaga once and all, every time she thinks of it. What unfold is a series of beautiful moments that induct life values. Zutshi & Vasisht have acted so beautifully, they make a good cast. Nidhi Sunil tried her best, but she'll need to work harder. Purab Kohli is genuine and fantastic as the lover-boy.
What the movie teaches us has been a lesson we all have been waiting for and Gangoobai makes it very simple without gaudy dance numbers, slapstick or improbable situations. Instead, it soothes and towards end, the exaggerated sentimental piece prove to be very touching as I am quite sure it will move you.
This is a movie I had been waiting for lately to come & grab my heart totally. But, through a critic's eyes, the direction needs to have more panache, and the screenplay is average, cinematography and camera-work is poor. Editing could've been better while music is good and as a whole, it was a wonderful experience to watch.
BOTTOM LINE: Go for it and you will not be disappointed by the story & performances.
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
Language: Very Mild | Sex: No | Nudity: Mediocre | Mouth-Kiss: Mediocre | Violence: No | Gore: No | Alcohol: Mild | Smoking: Mild | | Drugs: No
