Mumbai, April 7 One of the short stories by the famous Marathi fiction writer Milind Bokil, has been adapted into a short film titled 'Patang'. The film, which stars Walter D'Souza in the lead role and Anish Patil as a child actor, was released on Friday.

Milind, who is also a sociologist, was a part of the Sampoorna Kranti (Total Revolution) movement led by Jayprakash Narayan in the 1970s and since then, has been associated with various civil society organisations. 'Patang' is another step in his literary journey.

Nitin Pednekar, the director of the film, said in a statement: "Milind Bokil sir is a highly versatile writer. If you read his works, every story feels that it needs to be adapted for the screen. For this story, he has aligned the human emotions with a kite. He doesn't believe in spoon feeding the audience. It's only at the end of the story that all the layers unravel."
