Director Santosh Davakhar, who once earned Rs 45 a day at age 14, is now making films like Gondhal. The Marathi thriller gained traction after being named India's entry for the 99th Academy Awards. Davakhar aimed to change the perception of Indian films internationally, moving beyond poverty narratives. He believes international audiences prefer lighter, intellectual content compared to the workaholic culture in India. He plans to continue representing India's rich heritage through cinema. π¬
