 The history of Marathi Theater records that "Bhave produced plays in Marathi with music composed on Karnataki base.His play was much admired by the Governor's Secretary... religious spirit, scientific singing by a sort of chorus in the midst of dialogues by other characters, crude dances and quaint costumes and make-up and certain skillful sword-play were their outstanding qualities.One has to remember that the audience was very devotional in character".
