Gela Madhav Kunikade

"Gela Madhav Kunikade" is an immensely popular Marathi comedy that has been a favourite among audiences with its clever dialogue and sharp comedic timing. The play centres on the life of Madhav (Prashant Damle), a comically resourceful man who manages his life with two wives, each unaware of the other's existence. His life is a precarious balance of narrow escapes and witty manoeuvres, supported by his loyal and equally scheming friend. The plot thickens and the laughter increases with the arrival of a lively new woman into Madhav’s life, adding new layers of complications. This twist amplifies the play's comedic element, especially as Madhav and his friend navigate these challenging waters using their characteristic punchline, "Haay kaay ani Naay kaay," which delivers continuous laughs and perfectly encapsulates their predicaments.
