Shirin is portrayed as the bold beauty of the 70s who manages to swoop Shreyas off his feet in the first few meetings itself. Then comes in the picture the katta-gang leader, the ever-enigmatic DSP aka Digambar Shankar Patil aka Digya (Ankush Chaudhary) who befriends Shreyas just after slapping him hard across the face, but would later be ready to meet any ends for his ‘yaar’ and his ‘pyaar’. Here we come across the lead – Shreyas Talwalkar (Swapnil Joshi), a businessman’s son, who has reached this college in Pune out of pure reluctance only because his mother wishes so. We are taken back to the late seventies, which is made overtly evident through bell-bottoms, polkafied dresses and wigs on every head. In the beginning, we are introduced to grandpa Pritam (Sushant Shelar) and grandma Shirin (Sai Tamhankar), who narrate the story through their memories. Inspired from the famous novel by Suhas Shirwalkar, director Sanjay Jadhav has made a bold attempt to the brings to life the age-old story of pyaar and yaari in a refreshing way. College or Alka Talkies, it is the huge star cast and the beloved background of Pune that has got Duniyadari a houseful reception in multiplexes all over Maharashtra.

Winning thousands of Maharashtrian hearts, the entire movie is staged in Pune.

And like most stories about friends and foes and fights and the friends falling love, this one begins in college. This is the story of friendship and love – that’s how you can layman-ify the theme of Duniyadari.
