Ram Kondilkar does a hat trick.
For the past ten years, he has been offering PR services to Marathi films. When in 2002, he launched his service with the name of ‘Ram Publicity’, Ram Kondilkar used to work during the day time and study at night hours, to complete his education. His hard work has rewarded him today, in the form of a hat trick.

Jury’s special mention also went to child artiste Hansraj Jagtap of this film. Incidentally, Ram attended PR job of all these three films, besides one more film ‘Samhita’, which also bagged two awards i.e. best music and best playback singer; at the national awards.
We are all aware of the importance of work undertaken by a PRO for a film, as it involves a lot of dedication and leg work, besides having complete knowledge about the film and its artistes. Ram has always been quick enough to respond to the call from any media person, wanting to know the details of the film or the artistes performing in it. In fact, he has played the role of a perfect PRO, giving equal importance to all. He has always been polite and cheerful. It is this special skill in him, has taken him to a stature, so as to reckon him among the top PRO’s of Marathi films. Marathi Movie world wishes him on this rare achievement.

After receiving the award, Mr. Kondilkar attributed his success to his journalist friends, for their support. “It is because of their love and cordial relationship, I am able to carry out this work,” he said. Even otherwise, Ram has been very popular among Mumbai scribes, for the kind of personal attention he gives to each one of them. He is selective about the films and pays more attention on each and every aspect of the film, in its publicity; which in turn benefits the producer to reach out to maximum people.
