Talk:Batatyachi Chal

This is a really messy article, it needs cleanup and re-ordering.--Dirknachbar (talk) 18:25, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

What ???
I feel this is really funny: "Batatyachi Chaal" is not Potato Tenement! It means "Potato skin" The word चाल is Marathi for Chawl or tenement, चाळ, to my knowledge is vegetable or fruit skin. Possibly the error cam about becaus both will be transliterated to Roman script in the same way :" Chaal".

I could be wrong, I haven't seen he play. But in the context of potato, "tenement" seems less credible than skin. I am changing the name, please let me know if I am wrong--Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 10:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * OK I guess my change was a bit premature. I have reverted it. Or maybe the great Pu La Deshpande was indulging in word-play! --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 10:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi. I am marathi and I have seen the play several times. The name is indeed "Batatyachi Chaal". In marathi, चाल means walk, while चाळ is tenement or Chawl. While the skin (of say a vegetable) would be साल. A copy of the play should be viewable on youtube, should anyone be interested -- Mayuresh 10:00, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
