'''''Ashi Hi Banwa Banwi''''' (translation: ''This Is Being Street-Smart'') is a [[List of Marathi films of 1988|1988]] [[Cinema of India|Indian]] [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language [[comedy film]] written by Vasant Sabnis, directed by [[Sachin Pilgaonkar]] and produced by Kiran Shantaram. Released in [[Maharashtra]] on 23 September 1988 and now considered to be a [[cult film]] in [[Marathi cinema]], the film stars an [[ensemble cast]] of [[Ashok Saraf]], [[Sachin Pilgaonkar]], [[Laxmikant Berde]], [[Siddharth Ray]], [[Ashwini Bhave]], [[Supriya Pilgaonkar]], [[Priya Arun|Priya Arun Berde]], [[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Joshi Saraf]], Nayantara, [[Viju Khote]] and [[Sudhir Joshi]].<ref>{{IMDb title|0267277}}</ref> The film revolves around four friends who are searching for rented accommodation when a landlady insists only on married couples, so two of the friends are forced to dress as women and pretend to be the wives of the other two. The film borrows the basic plot from the Hrishikesh Mukherjee's ''[[Biwi Aur Makan]]'' (1966) which was based on the [[Bengali language|Bengali]] film ''Joy Maa Kali Boarding'',<ref>https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/marathi/movies/photofeatures/laxmikant-berde-superhit-comedy-films-of-the-actor-you-should-not-</ref> and was remade in [[Kannada]] as ''Olu Saar Bari Olu'' (2003), in [[Hindi]] as ''[[Paying Guests]]'' (2009), in Punjabi as ''[[Mr & Mrs 420]]'' (2014) and in Bengali as ''[[Jio Pagla]]'' (2017).<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.livemint.com/Consumer/KYhiSTqNNAPN9bzm8JlAhP/Ten-Marathi-films-remade-in-other-languages.html |title = Ten Marathi films remade in other languages|date = 11 September 2017}}</ref> The film was also an inspiration for the 1991 [[Telugu language|Telugu]] film ''[[Chitram Bhalare Vichitram]]'' which was remade in Kannada as ''[[Bombat Hendthi]]'' (1992) and in Tamil as ''[[Aanazhagan]]'' (1995).

==Plot==
Dhananjay Mane ([[Ashok Saraf]]) is a street-smart salesman in a cosmetics store in [[Pune]] and is secretly in love with his employer, Madhuri ([[Ashwini Bhave]]). He is the tenant of a stingy landlord, Mr. Vishwas Sarpotdar ([[Sudhir Joshi]]), and is soon joined by his younger brother, Shantanu ([[Siddharth Ray]]), who is a [[Medicine|medical]] student. Though prohibited by Mr. Sarpotdar, Dhananjay and Shantanu allow their [[Kolhapur]]-based childhood friends, Sudhir ([[Sachin Pilgaonkar]]) and Parshuram ([[Laxmikant Berde]]), who is also known as Parshya, to secretly live with them as they both have come to Pune in search of jobs. Sudhir has been miserably disowned by his abusive uncle ([[Gammat Jammat|Suhas Bhalekar]]) for his negligence towards job and income and participation in the village dances out of interest. Meanwhile, Parshya worked as a domestic worker for Chhaburao ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]), a drama contractor, who fired him from his job after finding out that Parshya is in love with his daughter, Kamli ([[Priya Arun|Priya Arun Berde]]). One midnight, Dhananjay, Sudhir and Parshya insult Mr. Sarpotdar in a drunken state and are taken away from his house by Shantanu who arrives at the scene a little late. Enraged by his harassment, Mr. Sarpotdar orders the four friends to vacate the place within four days.

After several unsuccessful attempts in finding rented accommodation, Dhananjay and Shantanu finally come across the palatial [[bungalow]] house of a rich, old, kind and cataractic widow, Leelabai Kalbhor (Nayantara), who lives with her shrewd domestic worker, Tanu (Gulab Korgaonkar), and is often harassed for her money by her estranged nephew, Bali ([[Viju Khote]]). She is willing to rent some rooms at her house provided that her tenants are married couples. In a bid to comply with Leelabai's condition, Dhananjay and Shantanu have no other option but to force Sudhir and Parshya to dress as women and thus begins the comedy of errors; Parshya shaves off his moustache and transforms himself into "Parvati", Dhananjay's wife, while Sudhir transforms himself into "Sudha", Shantanu's wife. Shortly after the arrival of the four friends at Leelabai's residence as "married couples", Leelabai's niece, Manisha ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]), and her childhood friend, Sushma ([[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Joshi Saraf]]), who is also coincidentally Shantanu's girlfriend from [[Miraj]], come to stay with Leelabai for some months.

Sudhir, now a successful [[Singing|singer]] and music educator, falls in love with Manisha and courts her in his original form, stating that he is the twin brother of Sudha and that he is disappointed with her marriage with Shantanu and is thus not on talking terms with both Sudha and Shantanu. On the other hand, Shantanu, having passed to become a successful doctor, cooks up a fake story of the deadly stomach cancer of Sudha in front of Sushma as she is deeply upset at his betrayal with her and his marriage with Sudha. Elsewhere, Parshya reunites with Kamli when she comes to Pune with Chhaburao's drama troupe and also shares the news of Parshya having become a successful playwright back in Kolhapur. Meanwhile, Madhuri is heartbroken to see Dhananjay married with Parvati during her visit at Leelabai's residence, but Dhananjay confides the truth in Madhuri through a letter and the two eventually confess their love for each other.

While the four friends develop a bond of motherly love with Leelabai, Tanu confides in Bali the truth about Parvati and Sudha's true identities after she notices Parshya's wig and Sudhir wearing earrings while jumping out from the window in his original form. Eventually, the four friends decide to leave Leelabai's house after finding a new accommodation with the help of Madhuri and stage a drama before Leelabai for their way out. However, in the process, they all are unfortunately exposed by Bali and three of his henchmen in front of Leelabai, Manisha and Sushma and are handed over to the police called in by Tanu. However, at the police station, Leelabai surprisingly disowns Bali as her nephew and absolves the four friends of their deception instead because she genuinely feels that the four friends staged the drama out of their desperate need for a roof over their heads and that their intention was not to steal from her or take advantage of her cataract and that they treated her only like their own mother if anything. Hence, Leelabai decides to take them all in as her own sons with the marriages of Dhananjay, Sudhir, Parshya and Shantanu with Madhuri, Manisha, Kamli and Sushma, respectively. The film ends with the all four newlywed couples taking a family photograph along with Leelabai.

== Synopsis ==
Shaku ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]) is a sober but adamant young girl orphaned by fate who lives in a slum with her maternal uncle, Damodar ([[Gammat Jammat|Suhas Bhalekar]]), a bachelor. Shaku's sole dream is to marry a millionaire as according to her, a girl receives only one chance to change her name and financial conditions and that is after her marriage. Damodar is a domestic worker for Mr. Lakshmidhar Kuber ([[Nilu Phule]]), a renowned industrialist whose only son, Narendra ([[Sachin Pilgaonkar]]), also known as Naren, has just returned from abroad after completing his studies. At a party thrown by Mr. Kuber for his son's homecoming, Shaku accompanies Damodar for help in the chores when Naren shares his views on marriage with his friends. His only condition is that he will marry a young widow, which is overheard by Shaku. With the help of Tatya Malvankar ([[Macchindra Kambli]]), a theatre costume lender and friend of Damodar, Shaku poses as "Saudamini", a young widow, and creates a sequence of events wherein she succeeds in entering the Kuber residence.

Using her theatrical antics, she soon wins over the hearts of Naren and his mother, Mrs. Kuber ([[Gol Maal|Shubha Khote]]), who ask her to stay in the house for a more duration. As days go by, Naren falls in love with Shaku but Mr. Kuber asks for Saudamini's late husband's photograph. Again with the help of Tatya Malvankar, Shaku shows the Kubers the photograph of an aspiring theatre actor dressed in a military uniform and tells his name as "Captain Bajirao Rangade", her so-called late husband, provoking Mr. Kuber to finally agree for Naren and Shaku's marriage. The aspiring theatre actor in the photograph is Dinkar Luktuke ([[Ashok Saraf]]), a clerk working for Mr. Kuber's childhood friend, Mr. Gajanan Deshmukh ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]), while secretly in love with his only daughter, Hema ([[Kishori Shahane]]). Mr. Kuber had previously asked Mr. Deshmukh for Hema's hand in marriage for Naren. One day, when Mr. Kuber visits Mr. Deshmukh at his office, he suddenly bumps into Luktuke and identifies him from the photograph of Saudamini's late husband, Captain Bajirao Rangade. A plan begins to take shape in the mind of Mr. Kuber, who makes Luktuke arrive at the Kuber residence as Captain Bajirao Rangade himself.

Shaku ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]) is a sober but adamant young girl orphaned by fate who lives in a slum with her maternal uncle, Damodar ([[Gammat Jammat|Suhas Bhalekar]]), a bachelor. Shaku's sole dream is to marry a millionaire as according to her, a girl receives only one chance to change her name and financial conditions and that is after her marriage. Damodar is a domestic worker for Mr. Lakshmidhar Kuber ([[Nilu Phule]]), a renowned industrialist whose only son, Narendra ([[Sachin Pilgaonkar]]), also known as Naren, has just returned from abroad after completing his studies. At a party thrown by Mr. Kuber for his son's homecoming, Shaku accompanies Damodar for help in the chores when Naren shares his views on marriage with his friends. His only condition is that he will marry a young widow, which is overheard by Shaku.

With the help of Tatya Malvankar ([[Macchindra Kambli]]), a theatre costume lender and friend of Damodar, Shaku poses as "Saudamini", a young widow and enters the Kuber residence. Using her theatrical antics, she soon wins over the hearts of Naren and his mother, Mrs. Kuber ([[Gol Maal|Shubha Khote]]), who ask her to stay in the house for a more duration. As days go by, Naren falls in love with Shaku but Mr. Kuber asks for Saudamini's late husband's photograph. Again with the help of Tatya Malvankar, Shaku shows the Kubers the photograph of an aspiring theatre actor dressed in a military uniform and tells his name as "Captain Bajirao Rangade", her so-called late husband, provoking Mr. Kuber to finally agree for Naren and Shaku's marriage.

The aspiring theatre actor in the photograph is Dinkar Luktuke ([[Ashok Saraf]]), a clerk working for Mr. Kuber's childhood friend, Mr. Gajanan Deshmukh ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]), while secretly in love with his only daughter, Hema ([[Kishori Shahane]]). Mr. Kuber had previously asked Mr. Deshmukh for Hema's hand in marriage for Naren. One day, when Mr. Kuber visits Mr. Deshmukh at his office, he suddenly bumps into Luktuke and identifies him from the photograph of Saudamini's late husband, Captain Bajirao Rangade. A plan begins to take shape in Mr. Kuber's mind. What could the plan be? Does Mr. Kuber discover Shaku's deceit? Do Naren and Shaku get married? What happens to Luktuke and Hema's love?

'''''Majboor''''' (translation: ''Compelled'') is a [[List of Hindi films of 1974|1974]] [[Cinema of India|Indian]] [[Hindi]]-language [[Thriller film|suspense thriller]] film directed by [[Ravi Tandon]] and written by Salim-Javed. Released in [[India]] on 6 December 1974, the film stars an [[ensemble cast]] of [[Amitabh Bachchan]], [[Shaan (1980 film)|Parveen Babi]], [[Pran]], [[Farida Jalal]], [[Sulochana Latkar]], [[Satyen Kappu]], [[Iftekhar]], [[Jagdish Raj]] and [[Rehman (actor)|Rehman]]. The music was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

The film is loosely inspired by two [[English]] films of 1970 - ''Zig Zag'' and ''Cold Sweat''. The film was later remade in [[Telugu language|Telugu]] by director K. Raghavendra Rao as ''Raja'' (1976) starring Shobhan Babu and [[Jayasudha]], in [[Tamil language|Tamil]] as [[Naan Vazhavaippen]] (1979) with Sivaji Ganeshan and [[K. R. Vijaya]] , in [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]] as ''Naseeb No Khel'' (1982) and in [[Malayalam]] as ''[[Ee Kaikalil]]'' (1986).<ref>Ramachandran, Naman, ''Rajnikanth: The Definitive Biography''. India: Penguin Books (2012).</ref> The film was also an inspiration for the 2008 film ''[[Jimmy (2008 film)|Jimmy]]''.

== Plot ==
Ravi Khanna ([[Amitabh Bachchan]]) is a middle-class travel agent leading a simple life with his elderly mother ([[Sulochana Latkar]]) and wheelchair-bound sister, Renu ([[Farida Jalal]]), and is also due to get married with his girlfriend, Neela Rajvansh ([[Shaan (1980 film)|Parveen Babi]]). One rainy night, one of his clients, Surendra Sinha ([[Rehman (actor)|Rehman]]), visits Ravi's travel agency to pick up the tickets that have been reserved for him when Ravi notices a large [[emerald]] ring on his finger as Surendra Sinha impatiently taps on the counter. After leaving the premises, Surendra Sinha offers Ravi a lift in his car till the crossroads near Ravi's house as there is not a single taxi to be seen. Some time later, two detectives, CID Inspector Khurana ([[Iftekhar]]) and Inspector Kulkarni ([[Jagdish Raj]]), come to interrogate Ravi at the travel agency as Surendra Sinha was apparently abducted that night and his dead body was later shockingly recovered from a gutter. Ravi is innocent, but nervous as Inspector Khurana and Inspector Kulkarni are taking a keen interest in him since he is the last known person to have seen Surendra Sinha. He decides to seek legal advice from his lawyer friend, Rane (Shiv Kumar), for being a simple man with a family to be taken care of and wanting to do nothing with the police and the courts.

However, the stress seems to be triggering severe intense headaches and Ravi ends up at the place of Dr. Shah (Sajjan), where he explains that he has had minor headaches earlier which he ignored, but the pain has now intensified these past few days. After being sent by Dr. Shah for a brain X-Ray, the shocking diagnosis is far more serious than tension as Ravi has a brain tumour that needs to be removed and if not, will cause his death in six months. Ravi is willing to do anything for his family, even have himself operated upon, but Dr. Shah has a few caveats that the brain surgery could cure him completely while there is no guarantee that he will not be blind over even paraplegic as its side-effects. Ravi is aghast as he is the sole provider to his family and cannot contemplate a life where he becomes a dependent, so he leaves without making a decision when the choices are death and a life worse than death. Ravi returns home, deep in thought, and his family's affection and their implicit trust in his ability to take care of them only serve to increase his conflict. At the same time, Ravi receives the interesting news of Surendra Sinha's grieving younger brother, Narendra Sinha ([[Satyen Kappu]]), having announced a handsome reward of five [[lakh]] [[Indian rupee|rupees]] for any information about his brother's killer.

In an effort to better his family's financial conditions after him, Ravi telephones Inspector Khurana at the police station without revealing his identity and poses as an informer about Surendra Sinha's murder, in a scheme to frame "himself" as the murderer and collect the reward money for his family, believing that he has nothing to lose and is going to die in six months nevertheless. Inspector Khurana speaks to Narendra Sinha about the anonymous telephone call, and tells him that the reward money has to be paid to a lawyer whom the caller suggests, while a sealed envelope will be also deposited with the same lawyer. Once the money is paid, the caller will inform the police over the telephone who the killer is and will provide the evidence as well. Narendra Sinha is willing to go through with the proposal. Now that his proposal has been accepted, Ravi meticulously sets the stage, even leaving sealed instructions and a cover letter with Rane, who is rather bewildered at all the cloak-and-dagger stuff, until Inspector Khurana telephones him to confirm that the money mentioned in the covering letter will be entrusted to him. Acting upon the received information, Inspector Khurana and Inspector Kulkarni recover the evidence that Ravi has created against himself and it is sent to the laboratory for fingerprint testing.

Soon, Ravi is arrested by Inspector Kulkarni for the murder of Surendra Sinha and is sentenced to death for the crime by the [[Supreme Court of India]], much to the consternation of his family, and that of Neela and her father ([[D. K. Sapru]]). While Neela and Ravi's mother try to make some sense of Ravi's confession, also approach Narendra Sinha to beg for clemency, Ravi is in prison awaiting his execution, and his another intense headache results in him being rushed to the government hospital by Inspector Khurana and Inspector Kulkarni, where, serendipitously, it is Dr. Shah who examines him. Knowing Ravi's medical history, Dr. Shah wastes no time in getting him into the operation theatre, and the brain surgery is successful, but Dr. Shah is shattered to learn that he saved the patient on the operating table only to see him hung for murder. Well-aware of having condemned himself to be hung for a murder he did not commit, Ravi, during a permitted meeting with Neela and Rane at the hospital, asks Rane if he could appeal and tell the truth in the court as the envelope he left anonymously in his care will confirm his story after all. However, Rane's response tells Ravi that he is his friend as well as his lawyer, so the court would not believe anything he says, and that the only way for him to escape the consequences of his ill-advised actions is to now find the real murderer of Surendra Sinha.

In an attempt to save himself from going to the gallows, Ravi succeeds in escaping from the hospital in search of the real killer and is aided by Neela in his pursuit. As part of his mission, Ravi investigates the significant ring of Surendra Sinha that could lead back to the killer, and experiences the arrival of Michael D'Souza ([[Pran]]) from his own logical procedural thinking. Michael is a kind-hearted and happy-go-lucky small-time thief, who pledges to help Ravi nab the real culprit on learning of his plight. On the fateful rainy night, Michael had threatened the driver of a car at gunpoint and had grabbed the same costly ring from him, unmindful of the fact that it belonged to the already dead Surendra Sinha on the backseat. Michael's endeavour later takes him to Surendra Sinha's house where he runs into the murderer and sets up a meeting point by the riverside in the hills of [[Maharashtra]] to settle the issue. The climax alternates between a grievously injured Michael holding the murderer at gunpoint along with Neela at the meeting point while Ravi drives desperately to get a doctor back in time. In the end, the real killer of Surendra Sinha is surprisingly revealed to be his own brother, Narendra Sinha, and Ravi becomes a free man but not without Michael paying a heavy price in managing to solve the mystery.

India: Penguin Books (2012).</ref> The film was also an inspiration for the 2008 film ''[[Jimmy (2008 film)|Jimmy]]''.

== Plot ==
Ravi Khanna ([[Amitabh Bachchan]]) is a middle-class travel agent leading a simple life with his elderly mother ([[Sulochana Latkar]]) and wheelchair-bound sister, Renu ([[Farida Jalal]]), and is also due to get married with his girlfriend, Neela Rajvansh ([[Shaan (1980 film)|Parveen Babi]]). One rainy night, one of his clients, the wealthy Surendra Sinha ([[Rehman (actor)|Rehman]]), visits Ravi's travel agency to pick up the tickets that have been reserved for him when Ravi notices a large [[emerald]] ring on his finger as Surendra Sinha impatiently taps on the counter. After leaving the premises, Surendra Sinha offers Ravi a lift in his car till the crossroads near Ravi's house as there is not a single taxi to be seen. Some time later, two detectives, CID Inspector Khurana ([[Iftekhar]]) and Inspector Kulkarni ([[Jagdish Raj]]), come to interrogate Ravi at the travel agency as Surendra Sinha was apparently abducted that night and his dead body was later shockingly recovered from a manhole. Ravi is innocent, but nervous as Inspector Khurana and Inspector Kulkarni are taking a keen interest in him since he is the last known person to have seen Surendra Sinha. The stress seems to be triggering severe headache attacks and Ravi undergoes a brain X-Ray. The shocking diagnosis is far more serious than tension as Ravi has a brain tumour that needs to be removed, while there is also no guarantee that he will not be blind or even paraplegic as the side-effects of the brain surgery. Ravi is aghast as he is the sole provider to his family and cannot contemplate a life where he becomes a dependent, so he leaves without making a decision when the choices are death and a life worse than death.

While aware of the fact that his brain tumour is set to consume him in six months, Ravi receives the interesting news of Surendra Sinha's grieving younger brother, Narendra Sinha ([[Satyen Kappu]]), having declared a handsome reward of five [[lakh]] [[Indian rupee|rupees]] for any information about his brother's killer. In a bid to better his family's financial conditions after him, Ravi telephones Inspector Khurana at the police station without revealing his identity and poses as an informer about Surendra Sinha's murder in a scheme to frame "himself" as the killer and collect the reward money for his family, believing that he has nothing to lose and is going to die in six months nevertheless. Narendra Sinha is ready to pay out the reward after learning about the anonymous telephone call from Inspector Khurana. Acting upon the received information, Inspector Khurana and Inspector Kulkarni recover the evidence that has been created against himself by Ravi, who is soon arrested by them for the murder of Surendra Sinha and is sentenced to death by the [[Supreme Court of India]] for the crime, much to the consternation of his family and that of Neela. While Neela and Ravi's mother try to make some sense of Ravi's confession, also approach Narendra Sinha to beg for clemency, Ravi is in prison awaiting his execution and his another headache attack lands him up at the government hospital by Inspector Khurana and Inspector Kulkarni, where Ravi miraculously undergoes a successful brain surgery with no side-effects but is now a convicted criminal of abduction, ransom and murder.

Well-aware of having condemned himself to be hung for a murder he did not commit, a repentant Ravi realises that the only way for him to escape the consequences of his ill-advised actions is to now find out the real murderer of Surendra Sinha. In a bid to save himself from going to the gallows, Ravi escapes from the hospital in search of the real killer and is aided by Neela in his pursuit. In the process, Ravi investigates the significant ring of Surendra Sinha that could lead back to the killer and experiences the arrival of Michael D'Souza ([[Pran]]), a kind-hearted and happy-go-lucky small-time thief, from his own logical procedural thinking. Michael learns of Ravi's plight and pledges to help him nab the real culprit, recalling that on the fateful rainy night, he had threatened the driver of a car at gunpoint and had grabbed the same costly ring from him, unmindful of the fact that it belonged to the dead Surendra Sinha on the backseat. Michael's endeavour to identify the murderer later takes him to Surendra Sinha's house where he runs into his murderer and sets up a meeting point by the riverside in the hills of [[Maharashtra]] to settle the issue. The climax alternates between a grievously injured Michael holding the murderer at gunpoint while under Neela's observation at the meeting point while Ravi drives desperately to get a doctor back in time. In the end, the real killer of Surendra Sinha is surprisingly revealed to be his own brother, Narendra Sinha, and Ravi becomes a free man but not without Michael paying a heavy price in managing to solve the mystery.
