About Baburao Painter

Baburao Krishnarao Mestry, popularly known as Baburao Painter was an Indian filmmaker and artist. He was a man of many talents with proficiency in painting, sculpture, film production, photography, and mechanical engineering. Baburao founded the Maharashtra Film Company in 1918, which was set up on the site of today's Keshavrao Bhosale Natyagriha (previously the Palace Theatre). As there was no laboratory in Kolhapur to wash the films strips, he also created the chemistry and printing machine.
