<br />
== Plot ==<br />
A warm, character-driven drama, ''Ranna Baati'' centers on a father and his daughter who are estranged after a family tragedy. When an old, forgotten recipe book and the act of cooking resurface, they begin a tentative journey toward reconciliation. Food—recipes, communal meals and kitchen rituals—serves as the film’s primary language for memory, grief and intergenerational connection, with moments of gentle humor and poignant sadness woven through domestic scenes.<br />
<br />
After the death of her mother Supriya from cancer, Mohor develops a hostile attitude towards her schoolmates and her father, Shantanu. Following an incident in which she injures a classmate with a compass after hearing them speak ill of her and her friend Rohan, Shantanu realises that he has been largely absent from his daughter’s upbringing. Noting that Mohor’s only fond memories are of cooking with her mother, he enrols in cooking classes conducted by Rita Ray, who advises him to begin with simple dishes. Although initially unsuccessful, Shantanu gradually learns to cook for Mohor and develops a growing affection for Rita, who appears to be harbouring a troubled past. Mohor begins reconnecting with her father after he cooks for her and after Rita secretly sends dinner home for her. Throughout the narrative, Shantanu’s friend Godot and his father Ajit, who lives in an old-age home, offer him guidance on how to repair his relationship with Mohor, including encouraging him to consider remarriage.<br />
<br />
Rita's past is revealed when Shantanu prepares a mutton dish for her, triggering memories of a traumatic incident in her previous marriage. While cooking mutton in a pressure cooker and working on her laptop, her baby—startled by the cooker’s whistle—fell from the stairs and died. Her husband, unable to forgive her, turned to substance abuse, eventually leading to their divorce. Rita later rebuilt her life by starting her own cookery classes.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Mohor, having secretly followed Shantanu to his cooking class, mistakenly believes that he is attempting to escape his responsibilities through his friendship with Rita. After a failed attempt to cook an omelette due to her unresolved trauma, she breaks down and finds comfort in her father’s arms. Shantanu then prepares a dish from Supriya’s recipe book ''Ranna Baati'', which helps mend his strained relationship with Mohor.<br />
<br />
Shantanu and Mohor later arrange a family dinner, during which Rita arrives on Mohor’s invitation. Rohan also joins them. Mohor expresses her support for Shantanu's relationship with Rita and encourages him to confess his feelings. Following the gathering, both Shantanu and Rita grow closer, while Mohor spends time with Rohan.<br />
<br />
In the end-credits scene, Shantanu launches a social media cooking channel titled ''Ranna Baati'', featuring recipes from Supriya’s book. He is assisted by Rita and Mohor, and after filming the first episode, the film crew appears on camera to celebrate the completion of the shoot.<br />
