Nana Patekar has been enjoying all the praise for his performance in the latest Bollywood release, O’Romeo, but unfortunately, he is struggling to find his form at the Indian box office. Back in the 90s, he consistently tasted critical and commercial success, but since the 2000s, the actor has been highly inconsistent in terms of delivering commercially successful films. Many fans won’t even know which was exactly his last successful film.
When did Nana Patekar deliver his last successful film?
Many won’t be aware, but Nana’s last commercially successful film was Natsamrat, which was released in 2016. Directed by veteran filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar and based on the Marathi play of the same name by playwright Vishnu Vaman Shirwadkar (Kusumagraj), the Marathi drama film was highly praised by critics upon its release. It was praised for the performances of the cast, especially Nana Patekar, and for several other aspects, such as direction, cinematography, and screenplay.
In addition to the critical acclaim, Natsamrat also enjoyed strong word of mouth among the audience, which helped it run for a long time in theaters. The film eventually grossed an impressive 39 crore at the Indian box office, leading to a blockbuster tag.
