Sur Lagu De

While watching Sur Lagu De, you may be reminded of the acclaimed Marathi film Shwaas due to the way this film unfolds. Directed by Pravin Birje, Sur Lagu De is a story of the Damle couple (played by Suhasini Mulay and the late Vikram Gokhale) and their grandson Manu (Arnav Kolekar). Manu's parents are no more and he is being raised by his grandparents. The grandparents are struggling to make ends meet. Amid this situation, the Damles suffer another shock when Manu is diagnosed with blood cancer. To get his treatment done, the grandparents go out of their way. Neighbours pitch in too but that's not enough. That's when a media house steps in, promising to raise funds for the family. But soon, this turns into a different circus, one that operates on TRPs. What happens next? Does Manu get the required treatment? How does all this affect the family?

While the topic of this film is serious, the treatment it gets is childish and, very often, illogical. The seriousness of the story is lost due to poor execution. The story unfolds at a slow pace and the second half is all over the place. Despite having strong actors, Sur Lagu De doesn't hold your attention. Songs further add to the film's length.

To round up, the topic of Sur Lagu De is one that is bound to make you think, but whether to watch this film or not is entirely up to the viewer.
