Worldliness) is a 2013 Indian Marathi-language coming-of-age romantic comedy drama film[6] directed by Sanjay Jadhav and produced by Deepak Rane under Dreaming 24/7 Productions.
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, a youngster in his early 20s from Mumbai, who is caught up in a bitter relationship with his father, Sudhir, and his mother, Rani.
After arriving in Pune, Shreyas finds his accommodation in a college hostel and encounters the rowdy and notorious Digambar Shankar Patil, also known as Digya, and his hangout gang consisting of Ashkya, Nitya, Sorry, Shree and Umya, a bunch of hooligans.
The hangout gang members add vibrant colours to the otherwise disturbed life of Shreyas, who is from a rich family but is deprived of love and friendship.
MK is seemingly trying to recover from the loss of his love and shockingly commits suicide by jumping out from the train right in front of the eyes of Shreyas.
At this point, Shreyas expresses his last wish to Shirin that all his friends should reunite at their hangout each year on his birthday and recall his memories.
The film moves back to the present and ends with a touching scene where Shirin, Pritam, Digya, Meenu and all the other friends, now in their early 50s, meet at the same hangout of their former college campus on Shreyas' birthday and express all their feelings for him.
With assistance from Nitesh Rane's initiative, Maharashtra Kalanidhi, and support from Videocon, Jadhav managed to overcome financial hurdles and successfully shoot in Pune.
