"No two roles he plays resemble each other. The script is humorous; and the humour is intelligent, bringing out the idiosyncracies of each character...."

  "His amazing versatility, his marvellous sense of timing, and his feel for dialogue have turned ‘Hasvaphasvi’ into a lough  riot."

 "In these days when pure humour is hard to come by, ‘Hasvaphasvi’ provides a pleasant surprise, an experience to be cherished, remembered and relished for a long time to come."

 "This versatile artiste, through his speech and mannerisms can make the audience laugh and at the same time make them serious and introspective."

"The various transformations of  roles are not limited to mere costume-changes.......a complete change in character and personality is what this versatile artiste brings about convincingly."

COMMENTS

"The status of ‘Hasvaphasvi’ in contemporary Marathi theatre is unique. And the entire credit goes to  Dilip Prabhavalkar, who has written, directed, and essays the six roles in this awesome production. What I am most amazed by is Dilip's ability to perform such a wide variety of roles through all his plays, yet being able to incorporate the very essence of each character in that role with such natural ease. In theatre-crazy Maharashtra, Dilip's has become a household name in no time. "

 "Watching ‘Hasvaphasvi’ is obviously an experience of pure entertainment of a high calibre. But for those interested in the art of acting, this performance by Dilip Prabhavalkar would be a text book guide. Prabhavalkar displays such effective examples of spoken, physical and other aspects of emoting, that an in-depth and intricate study of this performance would equal the annual curriculum of an acting course." 

"I have seen the drama ‘Hasvaphasvi’ twice. I have liked it so much that I want to see it once again. Every character in the drama seems real. It is proof of  how minutely Prabhavalkar has observed the nuances of every character. This is exactly why the audience gets great satisfaction and joy seeing him become one with each role."

"Marathi theatre has a lot of  humorous actors. Some of them occasionally play serious or tragic roles as well. There are also some who perform one man shows; and they run into hundreds of  performances. Some also go abroad and people are all praise for them. However Dilip Prabhavalkar is Dilip Prabhavalkar. As an actor, a creative artiste or versatile human being he is unmatchable."

"Dilip Prabhavalkar’s ability to perform roles of six different characters is simply marvellous. His speech, voice, movements, mannerisms and facial expressions in one role are completely different in the next. Besides, by completely masking his own personality by that of the character he has managed each 'metamorphosis' entirely - a hundred and one percent."
