The showreel of the movie Tamate, produced by Vandan M, directed by Mayur Patel, and starring Madan Patel in the lead role, was recently released by Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. It is rare to see a son directing his father, but this unique collaboration has come to life in Tamate.
In his speech, D.K. Shivakumar fondly recalled his experience running touring talkies. “It has been twenty-five years since I watched a movie. Even though we have our own theaters, I never found time to watch films. Today, after many years, I watched the showreel of Tamate for half an hour. The film is very impressive. I will watch the entire movie when I have time. I am pleased to know that Mayur Patel, son of Madan Patel, has directed this film. Madan Patel has delivered a brilliant performance in this story about a rural village and the life of a ‘Tamate’ musician.”
Madan Patel added, “I wrote this novel a few years ago, and now my son Mayur Patel has directed the film adaptation. Tamate is based on the life of a musician, and I’ve played the lead role, something I’ve never done before. I also wrote the screenplay, composed the music, and produced the film. We are preparing to release Tamate, which has already been showcased at various film festivals. I express my immense gratitude to Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, who, despite his busy schedule, came to release the showreel.”
Mayur Patel shared his perspective: “When I was reading the novel Tamate, written by my father, I felt it should be made into a movie. I discussed the idea with him, and when we were looking for the lead actor, everyone suggested that my father would be perfect for the role. He has indeed portrayed the lead character in Tamate.”
The film features talented artists and skilled technicians who worked together to bring it to life. Director Mayur Patel remarked that Tamate has been made with the cooperation and hard work of everyone involved. The artists and technicians who contributed to the film were present at the showreel launch event.
