Previously the output of Marathi films was hardly 10-15 films per annum. These days 90-100 Marathi films are produced every year. The technical excellence is satisfactory. Even now the Marathi films are greatly influenced by Marathi plays. The cinema is verbose and talkative. Cinema has its own language — many Marathi films lack this video language. Marathi movies still has to improve their background music and songs. Music is a neglected area. Marathi cinema lacks the heroes and heroines having star appeal. Despite this, the younsters welcome new-age directors.
