Padmini Kolhapure Feels Marathi Cinema Is Braver Than Hindi Films; Calls Prawaas ‘Heartwarming’ Follow Veteran actor Padmini Kolhapure believes Marathi film industry is churning out "braver" content that Hindi movies, but is struggling to thrive amid several challenges, including stiff competition from Bollywood. The 55-year-old actor's latest Marathi drama, Prawaas-- her third film in the language-- had its screening at the 51st edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in the Indian Panorama section. In an interview with PTI, Kolhapure said the reception to Prawaas was overwhelming and instilled hope that films which are trying to push boundaries will ultimately find acceptance. "Marathi cinema is braver than Hindi films. It is still struggling. There's a lot of competition, it has to face several challenges. But I'm confident it'll eventually pave a way. Amidst all of this, when you see something like 'Prawaas' which breaks the path, it's heartwarming. I am a Maharashtrian, I want Marathi cinema to do well."
