Fifty-something Maee hates being clicked. Which in turn leads to a peculiar problem. She realises there s no decent photograph of her in the house. That s no petty issue if you consider your primary source of remembrance, when you re no more, will be the picture that hangs in the living room. So, Maee decides she must fix the situation.
Debutant duo Gayatri Patil and Aditya Rathi s Marathi film is a bittersweet comedy crafted out of middle-class quirks and the deeper question of identity, without getting too heavy about it. Rathi s script maintains a feel-good rhythm all along, and ends with a spot of black humour.

The Marathi movie
Photo-Prem deals with potentially dark themes of death and the afterlife with a bright smile and a hint of snark.
Introverted Pune housewife Sunanda is that rare beast – she hates to be photographed. She is one of the last members of that generation of Indians whose limbs and facial muscles stiffen when they are faced with a camera. It shouldn’t matter but begins to when Sunanda realises that the family of a recently departed woman didn’t have a single decent image to remember her by.
Sunanda (Neena Kulkarni) develops a morbid obsession with commemorative photos and obituary notices. She frets about how she will be visually represented when she is gone, especially since she is all but missing from the family photo albums. Yet, her inhibitions prevent her from marching into a studio and getting her picture taken.
