Vinayak Damodar Karnataki
January 19, 1906 (119 years old) in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India
Master Vinayak emerged from the culturally influential Kolhapur film scene that shaped early Marathi cinema. He began as an actor, later shifted into direction and production, and became known for his ability to blend social themes with entertainment in a period when Indian cinema was still solidifying narrative conventions. Although his life was short, his contribution was recognised partly for advancing women in cinema and supporting younger talent who would become important later.
