Subodh Bhave on adapting the 113-year-old classic Sangeet Manapmaan: 'After Katyar Kaljat Ghusali, I knew I wanted to make a musical film'
Subodh Bhave adapts iconic 113-year-old Marathi play Sangeet Manapmaan—a 12-hour musical hit by Khadilkar with 67 songs—into a 2025 fantasy film. Post-Katyar Kaljat Ghusali, he modernizes the pride-prejudice tale of Dhairyadhar and Bhamini, trimming songs for cinema while amplifying her agency. A bold gamble for fans and Marathi movies.
