Plot

Dadu, a man in his mid-thirties living with his elderly grandmother, acquires a buffalo to meet her demands. Constantly subjected to her taunts due to his unmarried status and perceived failures, Dadu harbors resentment towards his deceased father, whom he blames for his own unfinished education. He is in denial about his role in his father's suicide, attributing his problems solely to his father. When his new buffalo unexpectedly becomes pregnant, Dadu hesitates to arrange for its mating, further provoking his grandmother's criticisms. Frustrated by her incessant nagging, Dadu sets out to find a mate for the buffalo, but encounters difficulty due to the common practice of selling male calves to butchers. His search leads him to a village where he learns that the local male buffalo, intended for a wedding, has been absconded with by the bride. Dadu then undertakes the task of locating and recovering the runaway buffalo, embarking on a journey that ultimately leads him to a deeper self-discovery.

Critical reception

Santosh Bhingarde of Sakal rated 3/5 stars and praised the film's cinematography, while the first half might feel a bit slow, the movie picks up speed in the second half, delivering a touching social message through a unique love story that highlights the special bond between humans and animals. [5] Sanjay Ghaware of Lokmat rated 3/5 stars and praises the film for its unique blend of messages and its engaging, if slow, storyline that picks up after the interval. He appreciate the strong acting performances and the film's emotional depth, though they note that the comedy falls short and the cinematography is average. [6] Shrikant Bhosale of ABP Majha also rated 3/5 stars and suggesting that while the film "Ghabh" offers a unique take on a love story and explores agricultural themes, its slower pace and rural focus might not resonate with urban viewers. However, from a human perspective, the film's emotional depth can be appreciated. [7]
