Phule Movie Review Start: Good films are a common thing these days. But deliberately not allowing a good film to run – this is a much more dangerous truth. Something similar happened in 2025 with the film “Phule.”
The film was originally scheduled to release two weeks ago, on April 11, but the censor board delayed the release fearing its content. So many changes were made in the film that their entire list does not even fit on one screen!
What is the story of Phule Movie?
The film is based on the real-life story of two social reformers, Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule.
Savitribai Phule was India’s first female teacher.
But the contribution of Jyotirao Phule is equally big, who did not get as much respect as he should have got even today.
The film also shows us that even before Mahatma Gandhi, there was a Mahatma in this country – Mahatma Phule.
His thinking, his struggle and his revolution are equally important and relevant today.
Fear of censor board and loss of film
The answer is simple: fear.
The fear is that the film will show a truth that people have been hiding so far.
And that’s what hurt the film.
Made on a budget of ₹25 crore, the film collected only ₹25 lakh on the first day and the total earning so far is around ₹1.5 crore.
But can the truth be denied? Perhaps not.
Actors who won hearts
The director and lead actor of the film is Pratik Gandhi – whom you know from historical shows like “Scam 1992.”
His career tried to stop even before Bollywood started, yet he persisted.
After watching ‘Phule’, you will understand that actors like Pratik Gandhi are not hungry for stardom, but thirst for art.
Along with him, Sharad Kelkar has also lent his voice in the film, which gives a depth and strength to the entire film.
Both these actors have gone beyond their identities and lived in the characters.
Issues depicted in the film
“Phule” does not only talk about issues like casteism, untouchability, rights of widows, but it also exposes the deep-rooted diseases of the society.
The film shows how even a rat becomes a metaphor for today’s human being – seemingly free but actually imprisoned.
Most importantly, the film doesn’t forcibly glamorize – neither the looks of the actors, nor the emotions of the characters.
The biggest question is – will the thinking change?
Some people still consider Phule a supporter of the British.
The film “Phule” challenges this thinking and tries to explain what was the real motive of Jyotirao Phule.
Will this film change your life?
This is the question everyone should ask themselves.
Conclusion – why is it necessary to look at the flower?
In today’s era, the good of the film is not a guarantee of its earnings.
But we have to decide to watch a good film.
“Phule” is a film that is made for true cinema lovers.
This story will forever be etched in the hearts and minds of everyone who sees it.
If you also want to support films that tell true stories, give ‘Phule’ a chance.
Believe me – it will save you time and money.
