Maza Pati Karodpati: Difference between revisions

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 so-called 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.
