Dinkar Maruti Bhonsle represents thousands of 'Marathis' who feel they have lost their identity in the cosmopolitan Mumbai. Dinkar feels Mumbai is in Maharashtra but there is no Maharashtra left in Mumbai. He always complains about the lack of respect a Marathi receives in Mumbai and feels he is victimized everywhere because he is a Marathi; little realizing that he himself has brought this situation upon himself. In a state of sheer frustration Dinkar gets up one day cursing himself for being born a Marathi. He feels his ancestors must have committed a heinous crime for him to be born a Marathi. These outbursts of Dinkar reach Pratapgad and the spirit of Shivaji Maharaj is aroused. Dinkar has to now face a seething Shivaji Maharaj, who is furious at him. Shivaji Maharaj fires Dinkar for his shallow thinking and tells him he has to command respect, not demand it. He blames Dinkar’s thinking for the sorry state of Marathis. “Before blaming other communities for your short comings, look within and see if you have done anything to keep the Marathi pride intact,” he roars. Dinkar realizes his mistake but does Shivaji Maharaja’s thought arouse him to rectify his mistakes? The film ends with Bhonsle gladly returning the sword at the shrine of Shivaji Maharaj.

Life is full of small moments of fun, all we need is the eye for hilarious things that are constantly happening around us. So what is the colour of life? Is it Red? Is it green? No it has the prismatic lines of the multi coloured spectrum. The film 'Lapandav' which means "Hide and Seek" in Marathi is full of interesting characters. There is sweet and sour tangle of relationships which is complicated further due to misunderstandings. The film maintains its flavour throughout. The confusion due to the simplicity and overzealousness of the characters keeps the audience's interest intact throughout the film. The human elements and the portraits of the human characters and their relationships with each other are brought out in a very honest and enjoyable manner. What it all adds up to, is that in life, we are always taking our loved ones for granted. We end up comparing them with others, never really seeing or appreciating their individual strength. All of us are constantly finding the grass greener on the other side. As a result attraction develops…misunderstandings occur and life soon resembles a game of Hide and Seek… Running Time: 145 mins.

Seeds of marital love have not yet flowered into sweet joys of wedlock when whims and egoes of Archana and Sukhesh start clashing.
