Anandi, is the epitome of grace and beauty. She is the only daughter of Sriram Gokhale. She is a 20-year-old beautiful girl. Inspite of being beautiful, her marriage is not getting fixed, as she is blind. Anandi has done her education through Braille.
Anandi was born in Gokhale family after a along time. At present they are old when Anandi is grown up. They are concerned about Anandi's marriage, otherwise who will take care of her after them. No young guy from a good family is ready to marry her because of blindness.
Prakash Kalbhor, Sriram Gokhale's friend visits him at his residence in Mumbai, Sriram shares his problem relating to Anandi with Prakash. Prakash starts looking for a groom for Anandi and in a fortnight he finds one. The prospective is groom is from Mumbai and he is the eldest son of Shri Ashok Paranjpe. The date for two families meeting gets fixed, and happiness spreads in Sriram's place.
On the decided date the families met, Sriram and his wife are happy seeing a good looking young lad. But Prakash introduces him as the boy's younger brother Sudhir and next to him is the boy standing Vinayak who has come to see Anandi. Vinayak is a 35-year-old man with dark complexion. Seeing this, Gokhale and his wife are disappointed.
Vinayak has crossed 35 years of age, there could be two reasons to his single status so far - it could be because of his looks or him being busy in his business. Vinayak likes Anandi and gives his consent for marriage. But Gokhale and wife ask for some more time to make up their mind. Prakash convinces them that the boy is from a well to do family and even the horoscopes of Vinayak and Anandi are matching. Hearing all this Sriram Gokhale and wife do have no option but to say yes to the proposal with a heavy heart. Anandi has no idea about her prospective husband's look, age etc. She has agreed to marry Vinayak as her parents want so.
Vinayak and Aanandi's marriage get solemnized. The entire Paranjpe family is happy due to this auspicious marriage ceremony except one person that is Manjiri, wife of Vinayak's younger brother Sudhir. Manjiri never wanted this marriage to happen, as there may be issue of Vinayak, which will result in split of family's property and her ambition to see Ayush, her son, being the sole inheritor gets shattered.
On the bridal night, Sudhir sees Vinayak walking up and down in front his own room. Sudhir enquires about the reason of his restlessness, Vinayak then comes out with the lurking self doubt and fear. If Anandi comes to know of his ugly look once she gets her eyesight back then she may leave him, which Vinayak doesn't want as he had fallen in love with her at the first sight. He feels that he has taken advantage of her blindness and got married. Vinayak feels guilty. Sudhir tries to explain Vinayak that they need each other as the circumstances are such. Hearing Sudhir's logic Vinayak gets confidence and breathes a sigh of relief to enter his room. Manjiri was hearing the discussion of the two brothers from a distance and at the same time her mind was planning for the future.
Next day, in the morning Vinayak comes out of his room, seeing him some of the family members pass some naughty comments, he was about to get out of the house but Manjiri comes in his way and conveys to him that Panditji has advised not go for any issue for a year's time, if a son/daughter is born in a year's time then possibly it may be a blind baby. Hearing this Vinayak gets a shock and fails to understand how to react to the situation. Manjiri is pleased that she has hit the right spot.
Vinayak becomes indifferent towards Anandi, he keeps her at a distance. She is at pain realising his indifference and feels that he is staying away, because of her blindness. Seeing all this Manjiri is still not satisfied and schemes to add fuel to the fire.
One fine morning Manjiri rushes into the house in a very happy mood, the family members try to understand the reason of her pulsating heart and the face radiating with happiness. She reveals that she has shown the report of Anandi to Dr. Bhosle and according to Dr. Bhosle Anandi can get back her eye sight. All in the family are over joyed hearing this good news but a line of tension crosses Vinayak's face. A feeling of insecurity sips into him, he realises that Anandi will leave him the day she gets her eye sight back. And Manjiri has very quietly read the on going trail of thoughts in Vinayak's mind.
It's all about the fear of Vinayak, imaging himself as the unhappy husband once Anandi gets eye sight. The story is all about Anandi's shattered dreams.

Story at a glance: (Source: Indian Express - 15 Jan 1999)
The curtain opens to a charmingly-crafted set of a rich family's living room. An engagement is in progress, with cognac and affections much in evidence. The family of four, with the new son-in-law, is in a boisterous mood. But the euphoria is dented by an unexpected visitor, a police inspector. In his rather pushy manner, he announces that a girl died recently after consuming pesticide and he has every reason to believe that this family is involved in the tragedy.
What follows is an excellent unravelling of the plot that traverses two acts, ripping off the masks donned by these family members, reducing them from high-society somebodies to the bare human beings that they are, with the same failings and attitudes. The sequences weave around each character, changing the mood to one of tension, suspicion, anger and frustration. The basic tendency of humans to defend themselves falls in line with the writer's intention of exposing the family's weaknesses. The falling apart of the family, their succumbing to the overpowering onslaught of the inspector, brings to fore the gullibility of even the indomitable.

This is a story about a simple devoted middle aged housewife who listens & follows every word of her family which misuses her in all ways & makes her serve them. On one fine day her close female friend changes her life entirely by giving her an outer magic trick (Or is it some magic already present in her ?)
Mrs.Arti Mangalkar (played by Neelakanti patekar) stays with her family in one of the prime locations in Mumbai. Her husband, two sons, daughter-in-law & a daughter take her for granted. Her life has become miserable & she has no standing in her own house. (incidently she is the owner of the house). Things take a turn for the better when she meets an old friend (Daya Dongre). The friend conducts an experiment in which their souls (or rather personalities) get swapped. The protagonist becomes bold & oozes with confidence. She changes the way the house looks at her & starts setting things straight.
There are other sub-plots involving Ashok Saraf (daughter's lover: brilliant as usual) & one involving an orphan Sachin & Varsha Usgaonkar.

Story at a glance: (Source: fdk-berlin.de, NFDC, Indopia)
The film tells the tale of a middle-class college youth, Tunnu (Barve), and his unfortunate love life. It is about the dream world that exists in the heart and mind of a Bombay tenement dweller. Tunnu lives in a fantasy-world while His father struggles desperately to make a living and to buy a new apartment. Then, there is Tina, the girl of Tunnu's dreams, a symbol of everything that is unattainable in his life.
Tunnu dwells in a world of action and glamour, romance and sex. Dwarkadas, his father, desperately tries to make money so that he can start an independent business and buy a small apartment. Munni, his sister, resents the constant restrictions and denial of her desires. Jiya, his mother, constantly struggles with her husband's low income and short temper, son's boastfuluness and daughter's hostility.
Tunu first falls for an equally middle-class girl (Renuka Shahane), but abandons her when the sexy Tina (Rajeshwari) reassures his narcissism. His adventures are intercut with those of his conman father (Saxena), a real-estate tout. In the end, the father comes to financial grief, Tunnu's sister elopes with a slumdweller and Tunnu's girlfriend deserts him, leaving him wondering whether she ever existed. Tunnu joins the real-estate business, his optimism undiminished.

Story at a glance: (Source: Manhar Gadhia Productions)
Sarang is not a doctor actually, but for the sake of his Love, Rupa, he has assumed the role. Today is the D day. Sarang's wealthy aunty Jamnamasi is going to visit Sarang and his betrothed for the first time. But instead appears Narang at the door. Narang is an artist by temperament and a parasite by profession. Narang soon realizes that Sarang could not have become a doctor and immediately makes this his own house. He even calls up a model coordinating agency to send a girl to pose for his paintings.
Tanya, the model comes and Rupa misunderstands that Sarang has called this girl. The hell breaks loose and she leaves. This is the most importunate time for Rupa's mother Rama to come to see her would be son-in-law, but she does. Tanya, with the intention of helping Sarang, poses as the would-be-daughter-in-law of this house. Narang saves the situation posing as Dr. Sarang, Rama's would-be-son-in-law. And then Tanya's father Pratapbhai appears on the stage, who knows Dr. Sarang very well.
This happens on the 26th of July 2005 in Mumbai. The rain is pouring like cats and dog… entire Mumbai is flooded. All these characters are stuck in this house. There is a great confusion as to who is courting whom and who is seen with whom at night, till all lies collapse over the heads of the characters. But all's well that ends well…

Meaning thirst, the film focuses on the subject and reveals the miserable lives that these farmer’s lead, their fight and struggle for water and also reveals the politics, the negative attitude towards this sensitive problems.
When a farmer commits suicide the ministers at the state level try in every way to prevent his family from making an issue out of it.
