He might not have won our hearts with his Hindi outing Aiyaa (a 2012 release featuring Rani Mukherji and Prithviraj in the lead roles) but director Sachin Kundalkar has really impressed our discernible palate with his latest Marathi endevour  Gulabjaam. Powered with nuanced performances by Siddharth Chandekar and Sonali Kularni, the movie has bagged positive reviews.  Interestingly and matter of factly, this endevour is crafted by keeping Maharashtrian delicacies as the centerpiece.  It indeed is a treat especially if you are a foodie. And then of course you have a dollop of emotions to keep you hooked throughout.  Marathi film fraternity has given its (positive) verdict to the movie.  What is interesting is that  even the veterans from Bollywood, Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit Nene, too have come forward to spread a positive word for this beautiful venture.

Vidya Balan was all praise for Gulabjaam.  Right after watching the movie, a visibly ecstatic Vidya urged everyone to get themselves treated with this cinematic feast. Vidya was quick to draw parallels between this film and Ghar Ka Khana. Just like the home cooked food has the much desirable element of love, warmth and emotions added in it, Gulabjaam has that unmistakable ingredient of love to it.

Dhak Dhak gal Madhuri Dixit Nene too vouched for the love and emotions this movie serves up. Mads was also impressed with Chandekar and Sonali Kulkarni's powerful performance. Madhuri also maintained that every time we talk about a meal or food, we inadvertently mean the love that is poured into it and this film has loads of it.  Jacqueline Fernandez To Recreate Madhuri Dixit’s Iconic Song ‘Ek Do Teen’ in Baaghi 2

We are confident that in the days to come Gulabjaam will draw more footfalls with its rich content, the tact of storytelling and bharpoor entertainment. Do let us know your take on the film in case you have sen it already.
