&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sudhir Bhat&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was an Indian Marathi play producer. he was the founder member of the famous play organisation &amp;quot;Suyog&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhat is one of the few commercially successful [[Marathi Play|Marathi play]] producer and showcase them for a Marathi diaspora settled in the United States. He continued with this project for around three decades, during which he produced over 80 plays, which accounted for 17,000 shows. Eight of his plays crossed the 1000-shows mark. He is the record holder for producing highest number of plays in a career. He was a savvy businessman, unfazed by criticism. His company went on to stage several box-office hits.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;www.MumbaiTheatreGuide.com&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.mumbaitheatreguide.com/dramas/Articles/13/nov/18-sudhir-bhat-of-the-well-known-marathi-theatre-company-suyog-passes-away.asp#sthash.9SFMxWae.dpuf |title=Sudhir Bhat of the well-known Marathi theatre company Suyog passes away... |publisher=www.MumbaiTheatreGuide.com |date=2013-11-18 |accessdate=2014-01-04}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mumbaimirror1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.mumbaimirror.com/mumbai/others/Marathi-theatre-loses-its-ace-marketer/articleshow/25904801.cms Marathi theatre loses its ace marketer]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
Bhat formed an organisation named &amp;quot;Suyog&amp;quot; along with [[Gopal Algeri]] on 1 January 1985. He made all time record producing highest number of plays produced under one banner in Marathi play. He came into highlight against the play &amp;quot;Moruchi Mavashi&amp;quot;. This was major hit at that time. [[Vijay Chavan]], [[Vijay Patwardhan]] and [[Prashant Damle]] are some of the new actors produced with this play. He took the Marathi play outside India. His plays made shows in UK, United States and [[Europe]] and got enormous popularity over there. He handled the Marathi play very professionally and changed the definition of production that time. High production values, right marketing were the key of his success. Marathi play industry saw a down tern in the year 1997. His plays in America were a major boost during that time. He was the person who was thinking about Marathi plays for 24 hours a day &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.esakal.com/NewsDetails.aspx?NewsId=4995512744731483529&amp;amp;SectionId=11&amp;amp;SectionName=%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%AC%E0%A4%88&amp;amp;NewsDate=20131117&amp;amp;Provider=-&amp;amp;NewsTitle=&amp;#039;%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%97&amp;#039;%E0%A4%9A%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE%20%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%A7%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%B0%20%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%9F%20%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%9A%E0%A5%87%20%E0%A4%A8%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%A7%E0%A4%A8 Sudhir Bhat]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Criticism===&lt;br /&gt;
He was also criticized by many for making too many business transactions in the Marathi play allocation dates. He made loses in many plays but he did not left or change the business of producing the plays.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://maharashtratimes.indiatimes.com/maharashtra/mumbai/--/articleshow/25843334.cms? Sudhir Bhat]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the head of the Natya Nirmata Sangh (producers&amp;#039; association), he was the cynosure of many controversies. Many producers labelled him a &amp;#039;contractor-producer&amp;#039;, criticising his repertoire of commercially successful actors, particularly the faces that he usually banked on. Those include [[Prashant Damle]], [[Vikram Gokhale]], [[Kavita Lad]], [[Dilip Prabhavalkar]]. He was absolutely unapologetic about his brand of [[theatre]]. He was very clear on his views regarding this. &amp;quot;To get people out of their houses to pay and watch a play is serious business and I do it very seriously,&amp;quot; he had said in an interview.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He even drew flak for alleged unfair allotment of performance slots in [[Mumbai]]&amp;#039;s select auditoriums. Many contemporaries called him dictatorial and alleged he had infused a commercial spirit in theatre. They accused him of using his clout to gain prime slots. However, Bhat maintained he stood for quality theatre, good marketing and high production values. He said his theatre was a box-set proscenium parameter, with no pretence of an experimental intent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Successful person===&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the barrage of criticism, everybody agrees that his commercial success did bring a sparkle to Mumbai&amp;#039;s theatre arts in the 90s, when none of the plays were doing well. As a sagacious businessman, Bhat had a knack of disregarding the losses that some of his plays incurred. He was soon going to open the shows of his new play &amp;#039;Beimaan&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In spite of his economic orientation, Bhat deserves credit for some off-track plays that expanded the Marathi theatre cosmos. In 2003, he cast 75-year-old [[Shriram Lagoo]] in &amp;#039;Mitra&amp;#039;. The play was about a resilient, ageing, upper caste widower, who befriends his female Dalit nurse, much to the indignation of his family. The play was stage 218 times, mostly to packed auditoriums. &amp;#039;Mitra&amp;#039; received a rapturous response in places like [[Dubai]]. &amp;#039;Gandhi Virudh Gandhi&amp;#039; was another bold attempt to portray the contentious relationship of [[Mahatma Gandhi]] and his son [[Harilal Gandhi]]. In other words, it made for risky business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Bhat knew how to sell his plays. For instance, his production of [[PL Deshpande]]&amp;#039;s life sketches &amp;#039;Vyakti ani Valli&amp;#039; introduced the new generation to a masterpiece of humour. That the play banked on PL&amp;#039;s glamour is a known fact.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mumbaimirror1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Death==&lt;br /&gt;
Ruling the roost of professional [[Marathi theatre]] are a select number of production companies, and Suyog has been among the foremost. On Thursday, 14 November 2013, its famous founder Sudhir Bhat died. He died of a heart attack at Hinduja hospital.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;www.MumbaiTheatreGuide.com&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
