Aai Shappath..!

Ratnagiri-based young Gargi, who lives a fairly wealthy lifestyle with her widowed mother, Devki, re-locates to Pune to enroll in a hostel. It is here she will have to deal with a hostile room-mate, Roopa Bhattacharya; a wealthy Mohan Ranade, who wants to flirt with her; follow the instructions of her guardian, Shekhar, who wants to wed her; learn dancing and singing from famous maestro Pundit Omkarnath; as well as return home to deal with the fact that her mother had a secret life and that her father is still alive.

Directed by Sanjay Soorkar, Aai Shappath..! leans on a strong ensemble — Reema Lagoo, Tushar Dalvi, Ankush Chaudhari — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2006.
