==Plot==
Shriranga Deshmukh (or Ranga) is a frustrated man. His frustration is particularly towards the women in his life—his wife, his mother and particularly his ever-angry boss. He feels they are in control of his life. During a trip to his native village, Ranga participates in an annual festival. During this trip he discovers that he has now gained the ability to listen to women's thoughts.

At first, he is confused. But soon, on being counseled by a female [[psychologist]], he learns to look at his abilities as a gift instead of a curse. From that point onward, the insight into the female mind helps him understand the women around him. It helps him see their frustrations and dilemmas brought on by everyday life.

Being good at heart, he slowly starts using this understanding to improve his relationship with his wife, mother, grandmother, his boss and even his father. He is also able to solve some of their problems, making them happier than before. As an incentive, he saves the city by foiling the plans of a would-be female [[terrorist]].

The soundtrack was produced by the musical duo of [[Ajay-Atul]]. The music of this movie almost breathes a new life to Marathi light music: The improvisation of the famous Durga Arti, the soul song "Mana Udhaan" and even the item number "Cham Cham karta", in which Sonali Bendre made a special appearance, which attracted much attention outside of Marathi film audience. Lyricist Guru Thakur also made his debut with "Mana Udhaan Vaaryache" song. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://scroll.in/reel/807318/sairat-music-composers-ajay-atul-are-soaring-higher-and-higher|title='Sairat' music composers Ajay-Atul are soaring higher and higher|last=Gaekwad|first=Manish|website=Scroll.in|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-25}}</ref> The soundtrack was released by Sagarika Music.<ref>{{Citation|last=Array|title=Aga Bai Arrecha! - All Songs - Download or Listen Free - JioSaavn|url=https://www.jiosaavn.com/album/aga-bai-arrecha!/Pwj6lcleG4s_|access-date=2019-06-25}}</ref>
