Hi everyone, thanks for listening. Drop a line or two about the episode!

**My first podcast episode in Marathi**

In conversation with director Sameer Vidwans on — Double Seat (2015) and YZ (2016), present day Marathi cinema, takeaways from assisting Sachin Pilgaonkar, his creative partnership with writer Kshitij Patwardan, and more.

We chatted about the common thread between Double Seat and YZ, some of my favorite scenes from those two films, and the writing of the films.

We also touched on the problems facing Marathi cinema today - dwindling footfalls, why a large section of the Marathi youth struggles to connect with the Marathi cinema on offer, and why it is important for Marathi cinema to go beyond nostalgia.

Sameer also shared the lessons learned from assisting Sachin Pilgaonkar, in his early days.
