Katyar Kaljat Ghusli (2015)Īn adaptation of a play of the same name, ‘Katyar.’ is a musical of epic proportions beyond anything ever seen in Marathi cinema. As someone who has grown up on Marathi films and has lived a couple hundred metres from the legendary Prabhat Talkies in Pune for a quarter of his life, I consider it my job, nay, my duty, to honour the best and the greatest Marathi movies ever made.

No.Dadasaheb Phalke produced over 90 more films as Indian cinema flourished. All songs are sung by Lata Mangeshkar, except "Ganjalya Othas Majhya" which is sung by Ravindra Sathe. The soundtrack of the film is composed by Hridaynath Mangeshkar on lyrics written by Vasant Bapat and Suresh Bhat.
