My Take

Manoj Joshi is exactly the kind of performer I admire, a true character actor who moves fluidly between stage, film, and television. With over seventy films since 1998, many of them comic turns, he has become one of Indian cinema's most dependable supporting players. The 2017 National Film Award and the Padma Shri the following year confirm what audiences already knew. I have always believed a great supporting actor can quietly steal a film, and Joshi fits that mold perfectly. That he also serves as vice-president of the Bombay Art Society hints at a depth of culture behind the craft, which deepens my respect.
