Vitthala (विठ्ठ्ला)

केवळ गंभीर प्रवॄत्तीचीच नाटके विजय तेंडुलकरांनी लिहिलेली नाहीत तर सुखात्मिका आणि तिची वेगवेगळी रुपे म्हणता येतील अशी नाटकेही आहेत. ’विठ्ठ्ला’ हे नाटक अशाच प्रकारच्या विनोदी माध्यमातून जाणारे हलकेफुलके नाटक! Vijay Tendulkar (6 January 1928 – 19 May 2008) was a leading Indian playwright, movie and television writer, literary essayist, political journalist, and social commentator primarily in Marāthi. He is best known for his plays Shantata! Court Chalu Aahe (1967), Ghāshirām Kotwāl (1972), and Sakhārām Binder (1972). Many of Tendulkar's plays derived inspiration from real-life incidents or social upheavals, which provides clear light on harsh realities. He provided his guidance to students studying "playwright writing" in US universities. For over five decades Tendulkar had been a highly influential dramatist and theatre personality in Mahārāshtra.
