I have been love with movies from the day I first knew it. Media in all forms have been my favourite, but Movies took the precedence, I would just watch a movie without food, sleep or anything. I was crazy enough to watch 100 movies in a year, all in theatres, when only 80 movies released that year, such was my madness along with my friend. He took the film line, where as I became an engineer. But all these days i have not even thought about who would have bought this to India and made it one of the biggest industry which is used to loot everyone, until I was introduced to Dhundiraj Govind Phalke by Syatchi. This man dreamed about something and now we are all watching it being one of the integral part of country and its future, though, i dont think he would have thought of this industry being used like this. When a man has a partner who understands his dream and the man understanding her role and respects each other and not controlling her, then any dream is not too big to achieve.
Anyways, leaving that aside, this movie about our father of Indian Film industry, is one master piece made by a man with vision. The movie has such pace and such screenplay, you will not even know that movie has over so soon. I would recommend everyone to show their kids this movie, so from here on their movie taste gets developed and they atleast know what a movie is all about.

This is the second Marathi movie am watching. This movie has a simple storyline with practical screenplay. Even though we all tell that, we respect artists, we have to question ourselves asking what type of artists do we respect? Will you respect an artist like the leading role of this movie. What is that we expect of artists? just entertainment? Art is a powerful medium, it has all emotions, and art is born from person who has passion to live and not just to exist.

I have heard about Shyam Benegal very recently, and have not watched any of his movies. Mandi, was the first of his movie that am watching. In 983, a man has made a movie with such intensity and such concern. But, people of my nation are people of my nation, they have proved what he had tried to portrait about future. Yet another movie which was just celebrated as movie.
