Today 20th March...Birth Anniversary of writer, Producer & Director of Feature films, Documentaries & Children Films...Ram Gabale!

Ram Gabale directed Marathi film 'Jashas Tase'!

He made classic Marathi movies like 'Chhota Jawan' & 'Mothi Manasa' and Hindi movies like 'Dharati Aakash' & 'Phool Aur Kaliya'!..And also made documentaries like 'The Story of Dr. Karve'!

Marathi Filmmaker Ram Gabale!

His most memorable Marathi films 'Devbappa' and it's song.."Nach re mora.." And 'Jivhala' and it's song.."Ya chimanyano parat phira re.." just immortal!

I had great time with him during my film magazine 'Chitrasrushti's publication ceremony in 2002, where he chaired the function..and after that too!

AND MAIN THING IS MY BIRTHDAY & HIS BIRTHDAY IS ON SAME DAY..THAT I ALWAYS SHARED WITH HIM PROUDLY!
