TL;DR: The much-hyped Hindi biopic Phule about social reformers Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule sadly misses the real fire 💔🔥. Despite a powerful real-life story, the film feels like a sleepy history class 📖💤, with major revolutionary ideas totally sidelined. Critics say better versions already exist, and the youth NEED to know the real #RevolutionarySpirit, not a dull version! 🧠👊
🌟 Ananth Mahadevan’s latest movie #Phule 🧑🏫👩🏫 had the perfect chance to bring alive the fiery souls of #JyotiraoPhule and #SavitribaiPhule 🚩❤️🔥, the legends who fought against the evil #CasteSystem in 19th century India 🧹🔥. But sadly, what we got was a very safe, very dull, "tick-the-boxes" type biopic 😩📋!
🎬 Pratik Gandhi as Jyotirao and Patralekhaa as Savitribai try their best 🤹♂️💔, but even their talents can’t save this movie from becoming a long, boring parade of "important" moments without any real emotion 🥱😔. Critics are saying it feels more like a school textbook 📖✏️ than a movie that should have set our hearts on fire 🚒🔥!
🎶 The muted colours 🎨 and heavy flute music 🪈 in the background made everything even slower! Not even one punchy dialogue that hits the mind and heart together 🤦♂️💬. Where is the anger 😡? Where is the passion for #SocialJustice 🛡️?? Where is the real #Revolution ✊🏽??
📜 Some important moments are shown, like:
Jyotirao teaching Savitribai 📚👩🏫
Opposition from upper-caste Brahmins 🥲⚔️
Helping pregnant Brahmin widows 🧕🆘
Fighting to allow Dalits to draw water 💧🚱
But bro, all these are shown without depth, no real #ClassStruggle feeling 😤! Without showing the blood and sweat 🩸💦 behind their revolution, how will today's youth connect to Phule’s mission? 🤷🏽♂️
🎥 Older versions like #Satyashodhak (Marathi film) and even the old Bharat Ek Khoj episode actually explained Phule's radical ideas 🔥🧠. They spoke boldly about how traditions were used to enslave people 🙅🏽♂️📜. But this new film quietly avoids controversial topics 🙄🤐.
🧑🤝🧑 One good point is that Savitribai’s role is given importance 🧡✊🏽. She is shown not just as Jyotirao’s wife, but a revolutionary leader herself 💪🏽📣! And Akshaya Gurav as #FatimaSheikh, the Phules' comrade in education fight 📚✊🏽, also shines a bit!
👀 Acting-wise, Patralekhaa tried harder 🙌🏽, but Pratik Gandhi (who’s usually amazing!) looks tired and disconnected 😶💤.
📢 MediaFx Opinion: A story like #Phule deserved a roaring, fearless tribute 💥🛡️, showing the real class war and exposing how caste oppression still bleeds society 💔🔪! But the movie chose a soft, upper-class lens, keeping things "polite" 😒🎩 instead of raging for #DalitRights and #Equality 😡🩶. Once again, revolutionary stories are being muted by capitalist cinema that fears true revolution 🧨✊🏽!
We the youth need REAL stories 📣🔥, not museum pieces! Who agrees? Drop your thoughts in the comments! 💬👇
