+'''Dada Kondke  (1932-98)'''
+
+
+Marathi and Hindi director-actor born in
+Bombay. Employed as a millworker. Started in
+Vidushaka roles (‘the fool’) in Marathi lok
+natya, a bawdy working-class adaptation of
+Tamasha, e.g. his classic performance in the
+most famous play of the genre, Vasant Sabnis’s
+Vichha Majhi Puri Kara (1965). The Tamasha
+was first adapted to film in 40s Marathi cinema
+(Lokshahir Ramjoshi, 1947; Sangtye Aika,
+1959) but Kondke took it to extremes. His film
+titles and dialogues are famous for their
+vulgarity and inventiveness. Often cast Usha
+Chavan as his leading lady. Début with Bhalji
+Pendharkar in Tambdi Mati. Started
+producing films with Govind Kulkarni’s
+Songadya (1971). Turned director in 1975.
+Had censorship trouble during the Emergency
+with Ram Ram Gangaram (originally called
+Gangaram Veeskalmi), intended as a spoof of
+the Twenty-point Economic Programme. It was
+remade by Mehul Kumar in Gujarati as Ram
+Ram Amtharam, as was Pandu Havaldar,
+which became Chandu Jamadar. Currently a
+vocal supporter of the Hindu communalist
+party based in Bombay, Shiv Sena. Acted in his
+own directions.
