Damn It Ani Barach Kahi (डॅम इट आणि बरंच काही, transl. Damn It and a lot more) is a 2023 Indian autobiography book authored by Mahesh Kothare and published by Mehta Publishing House.[1]

Background

[edit]

Mahesh Kothare named his autobiography "Damn It Aani Barach Kahi" after his fictional character inspector Mahesh Jadhav's famous catchphrase 'Damn It!'.[2] Mahesh Kothare is considered as one of the revolutionary figure in Marathi cinema.[3][4]

The book contains memories of Marathi cinema, the life of Laxmikant Berde and Mahesh Kothare.[5]

"It is not just an autobiography, it’s a sort of history of Indian cinema over the past 60 years. I have been in the industry since 1962 when I was just 9 years old. It was always there in my mind that I should document my journey of 60 years in the industry because I have seen cinema evolve from black and white days to digital cinema. It’s been a complete journey."

— Mahesh Kothare, the author of book[3]
