Yesterday I saw shyaamchee aaee on DD Sahyadri. It is as good as any of the Hollywood classics I have seen. Excellent characterisation, first-class acting, perfect depiction of pre-independence rural milieu, and lastly, messages to remember.

So I have added Shyamchee aaee (original in Marathi, not the English translation) in my list of must read books.
