finally a mainstream Hindi film actress stepping into Marathi cinema! The poster gives me 'true story' vibes, probably something dark and emotional. Marathi industry has such rich storytelling tradition, hope this does justice to it. all the best, Adah! 🙏
Interesting choice for Adah after 'The Kerala Story'. She seems drawn to intense, issue-based narratives. Marathi cinema has been doing some great work lately - 'Baipan Bhaari Deva', 'Duniyadari' etc. But releasing in 2027? That's quite far off. hope they take their time to get it right though 👀
Not sure about the blood on bridal attire look... feels a bit over-the-top gimmicky for a serious film. But Adah is definitely pushing boundaries with her choices. Marathi cinema could use more cross-over talent. Let's see if she pulls it off.
As a Marathi speaker, I'm excited to see Adah in our regional cinema! The poster is hauntingly beautiful - that contrast of bridal happiness with blood suggests something deeper. Also glad they have Devdutta Manisha Baji for music, his folk compositions are soul-stirring. Best wishes for 'Gajra'! 🌸
Wait, 2027 release? That's 3 years away... film industry timelines are strange. But Marathi cinema has been making waves with content-driven films. Adah's choice to debut in regional language shows her commitment to storytelling over just box office. Plus, blood on bridal look already creating buzz! 👍
