KALAKAR (Marathi)

A PLAYWRIGHT PENS DOWN THE PROBLEMS IN THE SOCIETY AND A VETERAN ACTOR LIKE GANPATRAO JOSHI PERFORMS THE ROLE APTLY. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT A GOOD ACTOR IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT LIKE A GOOD WRITER. GANPATRAO WAS ONE SUCH ACTOR. YEARS BACK, ACTORS WERE LOOKED DOWN BY THE SOCIETY. GANPATRAO STOOD FIRMLY TO PROVE HIS ABILITY AND HELPED THE ACTORS TO GAIN PRESTIGE IN THE SOCIETY. FOR THE THIRTY-SIX LONG YEARS THAT HE PERFORMED ON THE STAGE, HE SUCCEEDED IN KEEPING HIS PROBLEMS AT BAY. HE MIGHT HAVE EMBRACED A PEG OR TWO DURING THIS JOURNEY, BUT IT NEVER HAMPERED HIS ACTING SKILLS. ALL THE WHILE, EACH OF HIS PERFORMANCES GAVE IMMENSE HAPPINESS TO PEOPLE ALL AROUND. HE ENJOYED THEATER AND SPREAD HAPPINESS DURING HIS CAREER AS AN ACTOR WHICH ITSELF IS A HERCULEAN TASK. STICKING AROUND TO THE THEATRE IS NOT AN EASY JOB, IT CAN BE COMPARED ONLY WITH THE DILIGENCE THAT ONE TAKES TO FEEL THE PRESENCE OF ALMIGHTY. THE ONCE WHO PERFORMANCE IT IS SIMPLE GREAT. GANPATRAO JOSHI WAS INDEED ONE SUCH PERSON.
