A.V. Prafullachandra

A.V. Prafullachandra, yeah, that name’s been popping up a lot lately, especially if you’re into Marathi cinema. The guy’s got his fingerprints all over some pretty memorable films. Godavari (2021) – man, that movie had people talking for weeks. It’s not just the story, it’s the way Prafullachandra handled the music, making the river itself feel like a living, breathing character. There’s something about his style that just, I dunno, grabs you by the collar and pulls you right in. Then there’s PhotoCopy from 2016. Total switch-up from the vibe of Godavari. This one’s got a lightness, a sense of fun, but it’s not shallow. The music in PhotoCopy is catchy as hell, but Prafullachandra still finds a way to slip in some real emotion. Like, you’re tapping your foot, then suddenly you’re all up in your feelings without realizing it. Weird how he does that. Now, Raanti (2024) is fresh out the oven, and people are already buzzing. No spoilers, but the soundtrack? Straight fire. The man’s knack for weaving traditional sounds with this modern twist, it’s wild. He doesn’t just stick to one formula, you know? Each project feels different, but you can always spot his signature. Honestly, if you haven’t checked out his stuff, you’re missing out. Prafullachandra’s got range, heart, and that rare ability to make you feel like you’re part of the story, not just watching it unfold.
