Someone told me there is one road named after N Dutta somewhere in Andheri

for Marathi films too but his last name sounds Punjabi/Bengali.

N.Datta = Datta Naik, a Goan.

Then there is some confusion here because Datta is a Punjabi surname and
Bengalis spell as Dutta. If N Datta's first name is Datta then it should be
pronounced as Dutt with the a at the last subdued. Like in Dattaguru.

          I am not an expert in this field, but I believe "Datta" is the
          name of a Hindu Deity who is worshipped mainly in Maharashtra.
          One can find a "Datta-Mandir" in many cities/towns of this
          State, e.g. Poona and near Alibag.  And people from Goa are
          also essentially Maharashtrians.

No Goans are not Maharashtrians. otherwise the state won't be called
Goa. Goans differentiate themselves from Maharastrians in that, that
they speak Konkani. Konkani is a language independent of Marathi.
Schloars say that it is even older than Marathi. The thing is that
Marathi is more wide spread than Konkani.
The next thing is that, since Konkani language is spoken in three
states: Goa, Karnataka and Kerala and that also in different dialects,
no unifying script has evolved or for that matter can the speakers
unify. Goa is the only state with its official language as Konkani.
I hope just like diversity keeps India alive so will Konkani
thrive! :-)

Kokani is dialect or spoken language, but Marathi is complete language
with rich heritage & literature. Its closest to Sanskrit(mother of all
languages on earth, as per some Western experts).Just to make things
clear.
No ill-feelings towards any language.
