First of all the movie is technically brilliant. The cinematography, visuals and sets looked authentic. The story chugs along at a good pace and does not get melodramatic or jingoistic at any stage - that is a complement to the screenplay! It is rare for an Indian movie to stick to the story and not get diverted into silly romances or grand portrayals. The banter and discourse between Tilak and Agarkar was nicely portrayed. The supporting cast is excellent.

However Subodh Bhave absolutely steals the show as Tilak - I never thought he could be as expressive! His face portrays all the emotions very well, the anger, the disappointment, the stoicness of Tilak.

I was never bored during the movie and was kind of disappointed that it ended... May be a proper series on Tilak and his ideas would be good in the future!

This is a perfectly crafted movie. This makes you think . The performances and the sequences are flawless. Background music also is perfect as per situations. Just go as soon as possible!

Also the way it is dealt, it's different from normal biography movies. One would understand my comment only after watching the movie

Not everything is serious. Movie also has share of intelligent light moments.

The life and the thought process of lokmanya, and the way youth should think, every messages reaches your brain and heart. After Prakash baba Amte, another masterpiece by Marathi film industry. I give this 10 as such movies need to be made regularly.

Lokmanya Ek Yugpurush ... Great leader..great movie...great direction..great actor..great performance..great music.. Subodh S Bhave after balgandharva and bharatiya another master performance by this great actor.. It was one hell of cinematic experience.. Awesome cinematography, fab special effects.. Smooth switching between past and present world.. Don't miss this gem from debutant director Om Raut.. Music is awesome...It gives u goosebumps.. Director has succeeded in presenting the before independence era.. Every actor has done justice to their characters.. * * * * * - 5 stars and standing ovation from me...

Must watch marathi movie.this was one of the best movie in marathi.subodh lived this legendary man.

Its the masterpiece , crafted perfectly every moment. It will enlighten you , it will skip your heartbeat . its dialogue will take your breath away , and at last it will make to question yourself . the journey of the man bal gangadhar tilak is unforgettable . Subodh behave has this aura to stick you with your sits . the grand start and the epic ending stands out . though while its watching you become angry , frustrated , sad , determined , happy and satisfied . the film is just awesome as its background score and amazing songs . there are moments when you will be dazzled . this is just not a movie but a great art with powerful message and impact.

When I think of Tilak, sarvjanic ganeshotsav & janmashtmi come to my mind as I cherish them.

I even cherish his personality.

The muvi lacks to do justice to these in my opinion.

Also aspects like caste system, education (girl child), child marriage have been compromised.
