The Story in Brief
The Delhi Marathi Film Festival opened on Friday at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Centre. MP Vinod Tawde said the event marks a new beginning for Marathi cinema in the capital, where such films struggle for visibility.
The three-day event, from August 7 to 9, will screen 12 feature films and 16 telefilms, along with FTII masterclasses. Attendees included a Marathi-speaking couple who said films are hard to catch in Delhi, and a student experiencing Marathi cinema for the first time. The line-up includes Deool Band 2, Mamachya Govyala Jau Ya and Phulwanti.
The Indian Opinion
The Delhi Marathi Film Festival is a welcome effort, but calling it a 'new beginning' overstates the impact of a three-day event. Marathi cinema's real challenge is consistent theatrical release and audience building beyond Maharashtra. The festival's success will be measured not by MP Tawde's words but by whether Delhi audiences return for screenings next year.
