Aga Bai Arrecha!
Aga Bai Arrechha! is a 2004 Indian, Marathi-language comedy drama film by director Kedar Shinde loosely based on the Hollywood film What Women Want. It was released in 2004. The film highlights the life and the problems of a common man living in a metropolitan city like Mumbai. His greatest desire in life is to answer the question "What do women want?" He is then blessed by the Kuldevi (Clan Goddess) of his village and gets a special "ear" for the internal dialogues of the women around him. It highlights his transition from a frustrated individual to someone who is happy, content and in charge of his life. The film also had a sequel titled Aga Bai Arechyaa 2, which was not a commercial success.
Plot
Shrirang “Ranga” Deshmukh (Sanjay Narvekar) is a mid-level executive at a travel firm in Mumbai, living in a large joint family with his wife Suman, his mother, estranged father (played by Dilip Prabhavalkar), grandmother, and sister. Ranga is constantly overwhelmed by life—caught between a domineering female boss (Shubhangi Gokhale), a nagging wife, and a household filled with emotional expectations. He feels trapped and suffocated, as if women control every aspect of his world. Everyday situations amplify his frustration: he’s scolded at work, mocked at home, and burdened with responsibilities.
