De Dhakka is a 2008 Indian Marathi-language comedy-drama film directed by Atul Kale and Sudesh Manjrekar.[2] Based on the American film Little Miss Sunshine (2006), the film's story revolves on a lower-class family.[3]
Plot[edit]
The story revolves around the Jadhav family. Makarand (Makarand Anaspure), after spending all his wealth, has invented an auto part which he claims will drastically lower the fuel consumption of vehicles. But being from a rural background and having no formal education, he is never taken seriously. Subhanrav (Shivaji Satam), Makarand's father, leaves no opportunity to blame his son for selling all his land on failed pursuits. Sumi (Medha) is Makarand's humble second wife. While the family is going through an economic crisis, a golden opportunity is presented when Makarand's daughter is selected for the final round of a dance competition with a huge prize money. The family scrapes their last resources and leaves on a life changing journey to reach the competition venue.
