'''''Maza Pati Karodpati''''' ({{translation|My Husband Is A Millionaire}}) is a 1988 Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language comedy-drama film directed by Sachin Pilgaonkar and produced by Chelaram Bhatia and Lalchand Bhatia. The film stars an [[ensemble cast]] of Sachin Pilgaonkar, [[Supriya Pilgaonkar]], [[Ashok Saraf]], [[Kishori Shahane]], [[Nilu Phule]], Shubha Khote, Suhas Bhalekar, [[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]] and [[Macchindra Kambli]]. The plot focuses on Shaku (Supriya), a poor orphan who pretends to be a widow in order to marry Naren (Sachin), the heir to a wealthy family who desires to marry only a widow. However, things take a turn when Naren's father Laxmidhar (Phule) bumps into an office clerk named Luktuke (Saraf) and recognizes him from the photograph presumably of Shaku's deceased husband.

== Plot ==
Shaku ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]) is a girl orphaned by fate living in poverty with her maternal uncle Damodar (Suhas Bhalekar), who has raised her all by himself as a single relative. She is a talented actress who acts in the dramas taking place in their locality. Shaku's sole dream is to marry a millionaire as according to her, a girl gets only one chance to change her name and condition, and that is marriage. Damodar works as a servant for the wealthy industrialist Laxmidhar Kuber ([[Nilu Phule]]) and his understanding wife Mrs. Kuber (Shubha Khote) whose son Narendra Kuber, also known as Naren (Sachin Pilgaonkar), has just returned from the US after his graduation. Laxmidhar and Mrs. Kuber throw a grand party at their house for Naren's homecoming, where Shaku accompanies Damodar to assist him in the chores.

While there, Shaku overhears Naren sharing his views about marriage with his friends, when he expresses his desire of marrying only a widow for not having the ability to buy enough time to spend with his wife. Having fallen in love with Naren, Shaku vows to marry only him at any cost after realising that he is the heir to the infinity of wealth at his house. Using her theatrical antics with the help of her costume lender Tatya Malvankar ([[Macchindra Kambli]]), she creates a sequence of events that allows her to enter the Kuber residence. Further, Shaku fools Naren and his parents that she is a homeless widow named "Saudamini" and that she has gone into a state of sorrow since her husband's sad demise.

Therefore, Shaku is quickly accepted by the Kuber family after her pretence of having developed mental shock. Soon, she wins over the hearts of Naren and Mrs. Kuber who ask her to stay for some more time. While seeking refuge in the Kubers' house, Shaku tries to influence Naren by shedding unreal tears in the memory of her deceased husband. This prompts Naren to take Saudamini for outings to help her recover from the loss of her husband. Slowly, Naren realises that he has fallen in love with Saudamini and goes on to propose marriage to her. Feeling that she has finally accomplished her mission, Shaku accepts his marriage proposal after showing some hesitation.

However, Naren faces objection from Laxmidhar who demands information about Saudamini's past. Nevertheless, Shaku lies to the Kubers that her husband was a military officer named "Captain Bajirao Rangade", and that he died after getting hit by a soda water bottle during a riot. When asked for photograph, Tatya provides Shaku with the photograph of an aspiring drama actor ([[Ashok Saraf]]) dressed in a military uniform. Eventually, Laxmidhar agrees for Naren and Saudamini's marriage despite his wish to marry off his son to Hema ([[Kishori Shahane]]), the daughter of his close friend Deshmukh ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]) who is an equally wealthier businessman.

Meanwhile, it is revealed that the aspiring drama actor whose photograph was provided by Tatya is Dinkar Luktuke, a homeless clerk at Deshmukh's office who is secretly having a love affair with Hema. Shortly, things take a turn when Laxmidhar visits Deshmukh's office and surprisingly bumps into Luktuke. Laxmidhar recognizes him from the photograph of Saudamini's late husband and grows suspicious of her true intentions. Wanting to become sure of Saudamini's deception, Laxmidhar instructs Luktuke to perform a mysterious drama at his house in exchange of a well-furnished, four-bedroom plot and 24/7 water supply for his living.

Acting upon Laxmidhar's instructions, Luktuke shockingly poses as "Captain Bajirao Rangade" and enters the Kuber residence as Saudamini's "alive" husband, who has returned to his wife after recovering from a coma. Shaku immediately denies any relation with Captain Rangade and lies that her husband was a left-hander. However, her plan backfires as Luktuke outsmarts her and confesses about being a left-hander in the past. To make matters worse, it turns out that Luktuke was born with six toes on his left foot, while Shaku had fooled the Kuber family with the same identification of her husband.

Eventually, Mrs. Kuber still does not accept Captain Rangade as Saudamini's husband while a distressed Naren faces a dilemma. In last hopes of regaining his relationship with Saudamini, he bribes Captain Rangade and tries to influence him to give her a divorce. However, Luktuke stands firm by citing his undying affection to his wife. Despite this, Hema spots Luktuke with Naren at a restaurant and follows him, therefore learning the truth. After the two come face-to-face, a stunned Luktuke unwillingly refuses to go with Hema, which provokes her into pretending to be in love with Naren to make him jealous.

That night, Luktuke returns home drunk and criticises Laxmidhar in front of Mrs. Kuber for breaking off his relationship with Hema. Mrs. Kuber begins to grow suspicious of Captain Rangade but Laxmidhar diverts her thinking. Meanwhile, Naren comes up with an idea and asks Saudamini to call in any of her relative who can testify Captain Rangade being an imposter. Seizing this opportunity, Shaku approaches Tatya and asks him to arrive at the Kuber residence as her relative. Due to the fact that Naren has seen him in the beginning of their theatrical antics, Tatya instructs his shop assistant Madhya (Madhu Apte) to assume his identity and claim that Captain Rangade is not her husband.

The next day, Tatya himself arrives at Naren's house in disguise as Madhya does not make it to his shop on time. He claims to have attended Saudamini's wedding and testifies that Captain Rangade cannot be her husband. In the end, Shaku concludes her arguments and has seemingly succeeded in convincing the Kuber family of Captain Rangade's pretence. However, the tale is twisted as Madhya goes on to arrive at the scene as "Tatya" and he too claims that Captain Rangade is not her husband. At this point, Shaku's cover is blown with the conception of faking her husband's death in hopes to marrying Naren for money.

On this ground, Laxmidhar expels Tatya and Madhya from the house while an emotionally upset Naren rants at Saudamini in a harsh manner. Despite this, Laxmidhar intervenes with Mrs. Kuber and pretends to forgive Saudamini for her misdeeds, before politely handing over all his wealth and power to her with a car as well as a house owned by him in [[Lonavala]] and asks her to surrender Naren to them. Seeing no other way out, Shaku mysteriously accepts Rangade as her husband and agrees to go with him but in the climax, shockingly ends up shooting him down fatally with the resolve to sacrifice herself for all her [[karma]] till now.

In guilt and remorse, Shaku confesses about her true identity before Naren and that she realised after entering the Kubers' house that there is nothing more important than love and affection, which she had developed for him and for the togetherness with the Kuber family. She also profusely thanks the Kubers for giving her the love of a family which life had denied to her and apologises to them for what everything cost them. Therefore, Shaku begs Laxmidhar to have her hanged to death by the police for cheating and even committing the murder of the fake Rangade. However, Laxmidhar amusingly reveals that he had already planted fake [[ammunition]] in the gun and so Luktuke turns out to be alive.

Moreover, Laxmidhar also reveals that he had only sent Luktuke to the residence as Captain Rangade and was testing Shaku's love for Naren, since he had already discovered her true identity from Damodar who refused to cheat or lie to the family. Upon learning this, Naren realises his folly and reciprocates Shaku's feelings for him with Laxmidhar and Mrs. Kuber's consent for marriage. At the same time, Hema and Deshmukh also arrive at Laxmidhar's house and Luktuke's cheating is exposed before them. A furious Deshmukh berates Luktuke for his negligence towards work along with Hema as Naren, Shaku, Laxmidhar, Mrs. Kuber and Damodar share a laughter at his embarrassment.

== Plot ==
Shaku ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]) is a sober, orphaned girl living in poverty with her maternal uncle Damodar (Suhas Bhalekar), who has raised her alone as a single relative. She is a talented actress who acts in the plays that take place in her slum area. Shaku's sole dream is to marry a millionaire as according to her, a girl gets only one chance to change her name and condition, and that is marriage.

Therefore, Shaku begs Laxmidhar to have her hanged to death by the police for cheating and even committing the murder of the fake Rangade. However, Laxmidhar amusingly reveals that he had already planted fake [[ammunition]] in the gun and so Luktuke turns out to be alive.

Moreover, Laxmidhar also reveals that he had only sent Luktuke to the residence as Captain Rangade and was testing Shaku's love for Naren, since he had already discovered her true identity from Damodar who refused to cheat or lie to the family. Upon learning this, Naren realises his folly and reciprocates Shaku's feelings for him with Laxmidhar and Mrs. Kuber's consent for marriage. At the same time, Hema and Deshmukh also arrive at Laxmidhar's house and Luktuke's cheating is exposed before them. A furious Deshmukh berates Luktuke for his negligence towards work along with Hema as Naren, Shaku, Laxmidhar, Mrs. Kuber and Damodar share a laughter at his embarrassment.

'''''Maza Pati Karodpati''''' ({{translation|My Husband Is A Millionaire}}) is a 1988 Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language comedy-drama film directed by Sachin Pilgaonkar and produced by Chelaram Bhatia and Lalchand Bhatia. The film stars an [[ensemble cast]] of Sachin Pilgaonkar, [[Supriya Pilgaonkar]], [[Ashok Saraf]], [[Kishori Shahane]], [[Nilu Phule]], Shubha Khote, Suhas Bhalekar, [[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]] and [[Macchindra Kambli]]. The plot focuses on Shaku (Supriya), a poor orphan who pretends to be a widow in order to marry Naren (Sachin), the heir to a wealthy family who desires to marry only a widow. However, things take a turn when Naren's father Laxmidhar (Phule) bumps into an office clerk named Luktuke (Saraf) and recognizes him from the photograph presumably of Shaku's deceased husband.

== Plot ==
Shaku ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]) is a sober, orphaned girl living in poverty with her maternal uncle Damodar (Suhas Bhalekar), who has raised her alone as a single relative. She is a talented actress who acts in the plays that take place in her slum area. Shaku's sole dream is to marry a millionaire as according to her, a girl gets only one chance to change her name and condition, and that is marriage. Damodar works as a servant for the wealthy industrialist Laxmidhar Kuber ([[Nilu Phule]]) and his understanding wife Mrs. Kuber (Shubha Khote) whose son Narendra Kuber, also known as Naren (Sachin Pilgaonkar), has just returned from the US after his graduation. Laxmidhar and Mrs. Kuber throw a grand party at their house for Naren's homecoming, where Shaku accompanies Damodar to assist him in the chores.

While there, Shaku overhears Naren sharing his views about marriage with his friends, when he expresses his desire of marrying a widow for not having enough time to spend with his wife. Having fallen in love with Naren, Shaku vows to marry only him at any cost due to his infinity for wealth. Using some of her theatrical antics with the help of her costume lender Tatya Malvankar ([[Macchindra Kambli]]), she creates a sequence of events that allows her to enter the Kuber residence. Further, Shaku fools Naren and his parents that she is a homeless widow named "Saudamini" and that she has gone into a state of sorrow since her husband's sad demise.

Therefore, she is quickly accepted by Naren and Mrs. Kuber after her pretence of having developed mental shock. While staying with the Kuber family for a couple of more months, Shaku tries to influence Naren by shedding unreal tears in the memory of her deceased husband. This prompts Naren to take Saudamini for outings to help her recover from the loss of her husband. Slowly, Naren realises that he has fallen in love with Saudamini and goes on to propose marriage to her. Feeling that she has finally accomplished her mission, Shaku accepts his marriage proposal after showing some hesitation.

However, Naren faces objection from Laxmidhar who demands information about Saudamini's past. Nevertheless, Shaku lies to the Kubers that her husband was a military officer named "Captain Bajirao Rangade", and that he died after getting hit by a soda water bottle during a riot. When asked for photograph, Tatya provides Shaku with the photograph of a wannabe play actor dressed in a military uniform. Eventually, Laxmidhar agrees for Naren and Saudamini's marriage despite his wish to marry off his son to Hema ([[Kishori Shahane]]), the daughter of his close friend Deshmukh ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]) who is an equally wealthier businessman.

Meanwhile, it is revealed that the wannabe play actor whose photograph was provided by Tatya is Dinkar Luktuke ([[Ashok Saraf]]), a homeless clerk at Deshmukh's office who is secretly having a love affair with Hema. Shortly, things take a turn when Laxmidhar visits Deshmukh's office and surprisingly bumps into Luktuke. Laxmidhar recognizes him from the photograph of Saudamini's late husband and grows suspicious of her true intentions. Wanting to become sure of Saudamini's deception, Laxmidhar instructs Luktuke to perform a mysterious drama at his house and assures him of providing him with a well-furnished, four-bedroom plot and 24/7 water supply for his living.

Acting upon Laxmidhar's instructions, Luktuke poses as "Captain Bajirao Rangade" himself and enters the Kuber residence as Saudamini's "alive" husband, who has returned to his wife after recovering from a coma. Shaku immediately denies any relationship with Captain Rangade and lies that her husband was a left-hander. However, her plan backfires as Luktuke outsmarts her and confesses about being a left-hander in the past. To make matters worse, it turns out that Luktuke was born with six toes on his left foot, while Shaku had fooled the Kuber family with the same identification of her husband.

Eventually, Naren is heartbroken to believe that Rangade is actually Saudamini's husband who has returned to be with her. On a last hope of regaining his relationship with Saudamini, he bribes Captain Rangade and tries to influence him to give her a divorce. However, Luktuke stands firm by citing his undying affection to his wife. Despite this, Hema spots Luktuke with Naren at a restaurant and follows him, therefore learning the truth. After the two come face-to-face, a stunned Luktuke unwillingly refuses to go with Hema, which causes her to pretend to be in love with Naren to make him jealous.

That night, Luktuke returns home drunk and criticises Laxmidhar in front of Mrs. Kuber for breaking off his relationship with Hema. Mrs. Kuber begins to grow suspicious of Captain Rangade but Laxmidhar diverts her thinking. On his friend's suggestion, Naren asks Saudamini to summon any of her relative who can testify Captain Rangade being an imposter. Seizing this opportunity, Shaku approaches Tatya and instructs him to arrive at the Kuber residence as her relative. Due to the fact that Naren has seen him in the beginning of their theatrical antics, Tatya orders his shop assistant Madhya (Madhu Apte) to assume his identity and claim that Captain Rangade is not her husband.

The next day, Tatya himself arrives at Naren's house in disguise as Madhya does not make it to his shop on time. He claims to have attended Saudamini's wedding and testifies that Captain Rangade cannot be her husband. In the end, Shaku concludes her arguments and has seemingly succeeded in convincing the Kuber family of Captain Rangade's pretence. However, the tale is twisted as Madhya goes on to arrive at the scene as "Tatya" and he too claims that Captain Rangade is not her husband. At this point, Shaku's cover is blown with the conception of faking her husband's death in hopes to marrying Naren for money.

On this ground, Laxmidhar expels Tatya and Madhya from the house while an emotionally upset Naren rants at Saudamini in a harsh manner. Despite this, Laxmidhar intervenes with Mrs. Kuber and pretends to forgive Saudamini for her misdeeds, before politely handing over all his wealth and power to her with a car as well as a house owned by him in [[Lonavala]] and asks her to surrender Naren. Seeing no other way out, Shaku mysteriously accepts Rangade as her husband and agrees to go with him but in the climax, shockingly uses Laxmidhar's gun to shoot him down fatally with the resolve of sacrificing herself.

In guilt and remorse, Shaku confesses about her true identity before Naren and that she realised after entering the Kubers' house that there is nothing more important than love and affection, which she had developed for him and for the togetherness with the Kuber family. She also profusely thanks the Kubers for giving her the love of a family which life had denied to her and apologises to them for what everything cost them. Therefore, Shaku begs Laxmidhar to have her hanged to death by the police for cheating and even committing the murder of the fake Rangade. However, Laxmidhar amusingly reveals that he had already planted fake bullets in the gun and so Luktuke turns out to be alive.

Moreover, Laxmidhar also reveals his accquaintance and antics with Luktuke and that he was testing Shaku after discovering the truth on the confession of her uncle Damodar who refused to cheat or lie to the family. Upon learning this, Naren realises his folly and reciprocates Shaku's feelings with Laxmidhar and Mrs. Kuber's consent. Just then, Hema and Deshmukh arrive at the scene and bump into Luktuke, causing Deshmukh to confront him over his negligence towards work since the past few weeks. The film ends with a furious Deshmukh chasing Luktuke along with Hema as Naren, Shaku, Mrs. Kuber, Laxmidhar and Damodar share a laughter.
