Social dramas tackling caste hit hard when done right reminding me of real inequalities I've read about—this Dhandoraa packs punch inconsistently. Sivaji as rigid village head opposing inter-caste loves in family delivers arguably career-best—at least four scenes gave chills. Navdeep natural sarpanch comedy timing spot-on emotional climax. Nandu multi-layered strong especially end Radhya helpless yet powerful. Direction debutant chooses bold theme no sides engaging parts pre-interval shock last 30 emotional payoff solid.
BGM blends theme cinematography suits. But romance poorly written—no chemistry empathy tragedy subplots no closure Bindu track drags styling oddly perfect. In my opinion impactful message good acts make worthwhile despite flaws—better romance fine-tuning would've elevated. Realistic drama fans give try for hard-hitting moments.
