Amol Palekar unveiled his memoir, Viewfinder, at the Nehru Centre in Worli, Mumbai on November 24. In attendance were his wife, Sandhya Gokhale and actor Nana Patekar, among others.
In this memoir, Amol Palekar reflects on a rich tapestry of experiences that shaped his artistic journey: from his beginnings as a painter in the vibrant city of Mumbai, to his immersion in theatre under the mentorship of Satyadev Dubey, and finally, to his celebrated career in cinema, where he delivered back-to-back box office hits and unforgettable performances.
Renowned for revolutionizing the ‘common man’ persona on screen, Palekar gives the readers insights into his films straddling five Indian languages (Hindi, Marathi, Malayalam, Bengali and Telugu), and acclaimed directorial endeavors.
