Production

Nagraj Manjule wrote Sairat as a "classic love story" and aimed for it to be more commercial than his previous films. It was based on his own experiences and so he chose his own village Jeur, Karmala Taluka in Solapur, as the setting. Filming commenced in February 2015 and concluded in May.[9]

The film was released with english subtitles in Maharashtra,Gujarat,Goa,Madhya Pradesh,Karnataka,NCR,Kolkata,Bhilai,Raipur,Bhiwadi and Hyderabad.[10] The film was scheduled to screen at 400 theatres and the total number of shows amounted to 8500 shows.

Critical reception

In addition to challenging the caste system in India, Sairat casts Archie (the main female character) in a leading role in the action scenes.[14] The director was questioned about his decision to cast Rinku Rajguru as the main character, despite her not being "conventionally 'good looking'"; he disputed this and described most film actresses as "bimbettes" compared to the strong character played by Rinku.[15] Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror rated the film with four star saying, "The word I will use to describe Sairat is 'significant'."[16]
