Designer Nachiket Barve seems to be the most at ease among threads and weaves, as he let Indian craftsmanship seep into his cinematic visions. With a recent National Award for costume design in the historical epic Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, one can only imagine his attention to detail and unwavering passion for his craft. The artistic journey that began with his eponymous label in 2010 has soared and attained resounding success, and today, he is approached to chronicle the best of historical tales, letting costumes narrate a story of a bygone era.
Let’s begin with the big National Award win. Were you expecting it?
I had no idea the national awards were being announced that day, and I got a call from Om Raut. He had called to congratulate me, and I said, “For what?” and he was like, “You’ve got the national award!” So it was a very pleasant surprise. It is a very high honour to be given that kind of recognition for a film like this, which takes so much blood, sweat, and tears.
