Baburao Painter
Real name ‘Krishnarao Mistry’.
He was known for his artistic approaches like meticulous photography, a talent for poetic evocation, his control of lighting, grand sets and the way he showed movement in crowd scenes.

In 1923, he made the first large scale Indian historical, Sinhagad, on the life of Shivaji.
