Avadhoot Khanolkar’s charming documentary Bade TV Wala gets its title from a conversation between film projectionist Jagjivanram Maru and his grand daughter, who mistook the cinema screen for a very large television.
Maru provides the 27-minute documentary, which has been produced by the Public Service Broadcasting Trust, with many more such camera-friendly moments. As the filmmaker and cinematographers Ajay Noronha and Dani Raymond record him at his apartment in a Mumbai suburb, he instructs his family to “be more natural”. Make more noise while washing the vessels, he advises his wife Bharati.
For a man who has spent over 40 years projecting Hindi film fantasies ontothe big screen, Maru sure does know how best to make an impact.
The screening will be followed by Interaction with the Film Director and Ms. Selvaggia Velo of River To River.
