+Ranjit Studios. Left cinema to study law (1931-
+4). Hired as scenarist for Prabhat (1934).
+Wrote dialogue and lyrics for Dharmatma,
+giving this Saint film a political thrust by
+drawing analogies between Sant Eknath and
+Gandhi and by deflecting the mandatory
+miracle scenes towards more social concerns.
+Provided the lyrics for Chandrasena and the
+script for Amar Jyoti. Turned director at
+Prabhat in 1937 and made best-known film
+Mazha Mulga as fictional autobiography
+about the struggles of a young radical writer.
+Worked with humourist P.K. Atre and filmed
+two of his screenplays (Lapandav,
+Baeelweda). Devoted himself to the theatre
+(1943-53) before making more films. Published

+theory and a volume of poetry,
