What happens

Aga Bai Arrechha! (transl. She's Surprised, He's Surprised) is a 2004 Indian, Marathi-language comedy drama film by director Kedar Shinde, loosely based on the Hollywood film What Women Want. The film highlights the life and the problems of a common man living in a metropolitan city like Mumbai. His greatest desire in life is to answer the question "What do women want?" He is then blessed by the Kuldevi (Clan Goddess) of his village and gets a special "ear" for the internal dialogues of the women around him. It highlights his transition from a frustrated individual to someone who is happy, content and in charge of his life. The film also had a sequel titled Aga Bai Arechyaa 2, which was not a commercial success. The songs from the film have become particularly popular. The film was remade in Kannada as Vaare Vah, starring Komal in 2010 and in Telugu as Lucky (2012). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
