In the 21st century, the very concept of an A-to-Z list has been democratized and, some might say, rendered obsolete by digital databases like IMDb and Wikipedia. A fan can now generate an alphabetized list of Marathi films in seconds. Yet, the algorithmic list lacks soul. It cannot explain why Killa (The Fort, under ‘K’) captures the bittersweet ache of childhood relocation, or why Natasamrat (The Emperor of Actors, under ‘N’) is considered a holy text of performance. The human endeavor to create a curated A-to-Z list—perhaps a book, a podcast series, or a marathon film festival—is a critical act. It forces us to make choices, to argue for the inclusion of a forgotten indie gem over a commercial hit, to defend why the same letter ‘M’ must include both the revolutionary Mala Aai Vhhaychy! (I Want to Be a Mother!) and the blockbuster Me Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy.
