About this event

Enjoy a brilliant laugh riot with "Ekada Pahava Karun," an exceptional Marathi family comedy staging live at the iconic Shree Shivaji Mandir in Dadar, Mumbai. Running on select slots from August 15 to August 30, 2026, at 11:00 AM, this highly engaging 2.5-hour play tracks the chaotic cultural clash that unfolds when a brash black-money maker's son falls for a timid, moralistic lawyer's daughter. Priced from an affordable ₹300 onwards, the rapidly filling show offers broad accessibility across multiple venues, delivering a hilarious yet thought-provoking look at human virtue.

Prepare for an afternoon of brilliant wit, situational humour, and deep social reflection as the hit Marathi comedy-drama "Ekada Pahava Karun" comes to Mumbai’s historic theatrical hub, Shree Shivaji Mandir in Dadar. Scheduled for a multi-week tour between Saturday, August 15 and Sunday, August 30, 2026, this dynamic performance features prime morning slots starting sharp at 11:00 AM. Spanning a dense, high-intensity runtime of 2 hours and 30 minutes, the production has drawn massive regional interest with over 1,700 users tracking the listing, prompting a "filling fast" alert across its Mumbai dates as neighbourhood crowds secure their spots online.

The core concept of the script takes a deep, satirical look at personal morality, structural hypocrisies, and societal double standards, turning a sharp ideological conflict into a playground for non-stop situational comedy. The narrative anchors its drama on two contrasting middle-aged men whose worlds are forced to collide. On one side is Bappaji Dharsod, a brash, devil-may-care South Indian businessman who prides himself on accumulating black money; on the absolute opposite side is Babanrao Bakre, a timid, straight-laced lawyer who considers himself a self-appointed guardian of traditional moral values. Absolute chaos erupts when Babanrao's daughter and Bappaji's son unexpectedly fall in love and remain completely adamant about entering into matrimony. As the two highly opinionated households clash over the marriage, a whirlwind of hilarious encounters unfolds, eventually building toward a piercing, deep existential truth: that human virtue is often dictated simply by a lack of opportunity rather than actual sainthood. 

Delivered entirely in rich regional Marathi, the production highlights sharp dialogues, brilliant character development, and a beautiful mirror to contemporary household principles. With highly accessible spectator ticket tiers opening at a reasonable baseline of just ₹300 onwards, the production provides immense flexibility for local audiences, featuring seven other prominent auditoriums hosting parallel legs across the city. It stands out as an outstanding weekend cultural selection for local families, friend groups, and traditional drama lovers who appreciate high-energy ensemble acting on a live suburban stage layout.
