Keshavrao Date

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Keshavrao Date (1889–1971) was an Indian actor, who worked in both silent and sound movies. He tried to run his own drama company but found it difficult to perform the dual roles of manager and actor.

After the advent of talkies, he tried his hand at that medium as well, though live theatre remained his chief love. His acting in the Marathi film Kunku (1937) set a standard which has rarely been approached since on the silver screen. He followed it with another sterling performance in Prabhat Film Company's Shejari (1941). Later he performed character roles in films made in Mumbai, where he lived.

His role in the drama Andhalyanchi Shala ("The Blinds' School") in 1930s had won him rave reviews.
