Fandry (2013)
Written and directed
by Nagraj Manjule this film stars Somnath Awghade, Suraj Pawar,
Chhaya Kadam and Kishor Kadam. In rural Indian a teenage boy from the
lowest caste has a crush on a girl from a higher caste.
This is a tale of
classism/racism that we are rarely exposed to in the West and the
film does a great job of showing how life can be for those living in
extreme poverty. The plot never sensationalises or goes for
melodrama, it always keeps the love story at arms length in a
refreshing manner. In all this is a well made film that shines a
light on an different subject and is not your average coming of age
tale.
4/5
