As the curtain closes on the last screening of the Marathi competition films at the 16th Pune International Film Festival 2018, the buzz word for the closing on Thursday is who will win the most coveted Sant Tukaram Award for the Best International Marathi Film (Rs.5 lakh) instituted by the Government of Maharashtra. “One of the most important objectives of PIFF is to give regional. With this in mind, seven of the best Marathi films released this year for the Marathi competition,” said Jabbar Patel, director PIFF. This is the only festival where an international jury awards Marathi films.
