'''''Duniyadari''''' (translation: ''Worldliness'', [[Devanagari]]: दुनियादारी) is a [[List of Marathi films of 2013|2013]] [[Cinema of India|Indian]] [[Marathi language|Marathi]] film directed by [[Sanjay Jadhav]] and produced by Deepak Rane under the banner of Dreaming 24/7 Productions. Based on Suhas Shirvalkar's novel of the same name and released in [[India]] on 19 July 2013, the film stars Swapnil Joshi, [[Sai Tamhankar]], Ankush Chaudhari, Urmila Kanitkar Kothare and Jitendra Joshi. The film focuses on the life of Shreyas (Swapnil Joshi), his friendship with the college "Katta" gang led by Digya (Chaudhari) and his relationship with two beautiful girls, Shirin (Tamhankar) and Meenakshi (Kanitkar Kothare).

The film had the most collection at box office for a film in Marathi which was broken by ''Timepass'' in 2014 and again by ''[[Lai Bhaari]]''. The film was remade in [[Kannada]] in 2017 as ''Noorondu Nenapu'' and in [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]] in 2017 as ''[[Duniyadari (2017 film)|Duniyadari]]''.<ref>http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/gujarati/movies/news/watch-duniyadari-trailer-is-a-fun-youthful-film-with-a-retro-touch/articleshow/56165929.cms</ref> It ran for more than 100 days in [[Maharashtra]].

==Plot==
''Duniyadari'' opens with grandma Shirin ([[Sai Tamhankar]]) with a streak of grey accompanying grandpa Pritam (Sushant Shelar) to Pune, grandchildren in tow. The story traces itself back to presumably the late 1970s (seen through the bell-bottom pants on the gentlemen and the polka-dot dresses and '[[Asha Parekh]]' salwar kameezes on the ladies). Nothing is spelt out, but each character and its relevance in the plot is unveiled through the narrative that revolves around Shreyas Talwalkar ([[Swapnil Joshi]]). He is thrown into college in Pune on his mother's insistence. Under circumstances which are reminiscent of college life in the Hindi cinema of the 80s, Shreyas makes friends with DSP aka Digya ([[Ankush Choudhary]]) and his Katta gang. A do-gooder standing tall for friendships in the face of a creepy Saai ([[Jitendra Joshi]]), Shreyas becomes the voice of reason for the rustic gang.

He finds himself attracted to Shirin, but Meenu ([[Urmila Kanetkar]]) get attracted to Shreyas which creates a love triangle. Shirin is a student of Medical college and sister of Pritam. They are children of an MLA from Kolhapur, who hates Shirin, his own daughter. Shreyas accepts Meenu's proposal out of spite for Shirin (as she repeatedly turns down his advances) but is not sure about their future. Saai fixes his marriage with Shirin against her wish. Meenu later understands that Shreyas is deeply in love with Shirin. On Saai and Shirin's wedding day, Shreyas and his friends fight with Saai's gang. Finally Shirin marries Shreyas. She is aware that Shreyas is a patient of a deadly disease (probably blood cancer) and has only few remaining months of life. They are about to enter parenthood.

The film ends with a touching scene where all the friends, now in their early 50s, meet at the same katta of their college on Shreyas's birthday and express their feelings for him.<ref name="Duniyadari Plot">{{cite web |url=http://indiaopines.com/duniyadari-review-great-cinema-language/ |title=Duniyadari Plot |access-date=20 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131111092753/http://indiaopines.com/duniyadari-review-great-cinema-language/ |archive-date=11 November 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
