Antaricha Diwa by V. S. Khandekar

A LOT HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN MARATHI ABOUT V. S. KHANDEKAR AND HIS WORKS. YET THE HISTORY OF HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE FILM INDUSTRY HAS REMAINED IN THE DARK. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS FOR THIS IS THE DIFFICULTY IN FINDING HIS SCRIPTS. NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME, A COLLECTION, ‘ANTARICHA DIVA’ IS COMING THE WAY OF THE MARATHI READER. THIS LITERARY LAMP IS BEING LIT AT A TIME WHEN THE MARATHI FILM INDUSTRY IS AWAKENING FROM ITS LASSITUDE. LIGHTING THE LAMP OF AMBITIOUS FILMS, IT WILL ONCE AGAIN COMPLETELY TRANSFORM THE MARATHI FILM INDUSTRY! IF YOU WISH TO UNDERSTAND AS TO WHY V. S. KHANDEKAR IS CALLED THE MAXIM GORKY OR PREMCHAND OR SHARATCHANDRA OF MARATHI, THIS ‘ANTARICHA DIVA’ OUGHT TO SPREAD ITS GENTLE, WARM GLOW IN YOUR HEART.
