+Marathi and Hindi producer-director born in
+Kolhapur. Doorkeeper at Prabhat (1934), then
+bit player (1936) and assistant to K. Narayan
+Kale (Mazha Mulga, 1938), Damle and
+Fattelal, and V. Shantaram. One of the
+younger cineastes (e.g. Raja Nene, editor
+Anant Mane, scenarist Shantaram Athavale
+and musician Keshavrao Bhole) who left
+Prabhat (1944) to work collectively in
+Bombay. Assisted Raja Nene at Mohan Studios,
+then at Balasaheb Pathak’s Manik Studios.
+Made first film for Raja Nene’s company,
+probably co-directed by Nene. Launched
+Alhaad Chitra (1951-4) which revitalised the
+Marathi cinema converting the social into very
+successful stage-inspired weepies (e.g. Chimni
+Pakhare/Nannhe Munne, Stree Janma Hi
+Tujhi Kahani), often ending with funerals. This
+style was continued by e.g. Anant Mane, Datta
+Mane and Datta Keshav (all from Alhaad
+Chitra), grafting Hindi All-India film norms on
+to Marathi cinema. Also worked in Hindi for
+Homi Wadia’s Basant Studio and at Filmistan.
+Appeared as actor in Sant Dnyaneshwar
+(1940). His son Alhaad Dattatreya
+Dharmadikari, aka Master Alhaad (b. 1947)
+became a noted child actor in Hindi and
+Marathi films.
