Kaustubh Savarkar

Kaustubh Savarkar’s got his fingerprints all over some seriously buzzworthy Marathi cinema. First up, "Chhaava" (2025) is already making waves, mainly because Savarkar’s name attached means you can expect a wild ride—he’s got this knack for mixing drama and grit with just the right sprinkle of heart. People are hyped, waiting to see what fresh angle he brings to a genre that’s been a bit stale lately. Then you’ve got "Mala Kahich Problem Nahi" from 2017, which, honestly, is the kind of movie that sneaks up on you. It dives into the messiness of modern relationships without being preachy or sugarcoated. Savarkar doesn’t spoon-feed anyone; he lets the characters be flawed, awkward, and, well, super relatable. It’s the sort of flick that makes you cringe, laugh, and maybe text your ex (not recommended). Don’t sleep on "Gadbad Gondhal" (2020), either. That one’s a riot—chaos in the best sense. Savarkar leans into the madness, letting the story spiral in all sorts of weird directions but somehow landing on its feet. He’s got this ability to make Marathi culture pop off the screen, whether he’s poking fun at family drama or spinning a love story that goes sideways. Bottom line: Kaustubh Savarkar isn’t just another name in the credits. He’s shaping the vibe of new-age Marathi films, giving audiences stuff that sticks with them. And if you haven’t seen his work yet, you’re kinda missing out on the fun.
