Dr. Prakash Amte – The Real Hero

(137 min; 2014; Marathi with English subtitles)

Director: Samruddhi Porey

With Nana Patekar, Sonali Kulkarni, Mohan Agashe

Young Prakash graduates as a Bachelorette in Medicine. Instead of settling down to a comfortable city life along with his wife Manda, they both moved to a most backward area of Maharashtra. From government apathy to Naxal threats, from US Visa refusal on account of financial issues relating to civilian honour Padmashree…the film is an incredible true story of hope, courage and compassion
