Maza Pati Karodpati is a 1988 Indian Marathi comedy film directed by Vijay Kondke. The film stars Sachin Pilgaonkar, Supriya Pilgaonkar, and Ashok Saraf in the lead roles. The film is a classic blend of comedy and drama, which revolves around a young couple's quest for wealth.

The story follows Nitin (Sachin Pilgaonkar) and Neeta (Supriya Pilgaonkar), a young couple who dream of making it big in life. Nitin, an aspiring young man, who dreams of becoming rich, is not interested in his job as a salesman at a furniture store. He wants to make it big in the world, but his lack of skill and interest in anything else besides getting rich quickly leads him to try various schemes to earn money quickly.

Neeta, on the other hand, is a responsible girl who works as a school teacher. She is content with their simple life and always supports Nitin in his endeavours to make it big. However, she slowly understands the futility of Nitin's schemes and urges him to get a stable job instead.

The plot takes a turn when Nitin comes across a mysterious Baba (Ganpat Patil), who promises to make him a millionaire in just a few days. Nitin is initially skeptical of the Baba's claims but soon finds himself getting addicted to the charisma of the Baba and his promises of wealth.

As Nitin becomes more involved with the Baba, his life becomes more complicated. He takes loans from different people, including his boss (Ashok Saraf), to invest in the Baba's magic pot, which he believes will bring him instant wealth. When the pot fails to work its magic, Nitin's life spirals out of control, and he starts losing everything he has ever owned.

The rest of the film revolves around how Nitin, with the help of Neeta, tries to recover all that he has lost and learns invaluable life lessons. The film also highlights the importance of hard work, honesty, and integrity in life, which Nitin learns the hard way.

The film's directors, Vijay Kondke, has done an excellent job at presenting the story in a light-hearted and humorous manner. The cinematography is vibrant and colorful, capturing the essence of life in Mumbai in the 1980s. The music by Ram Laxman is also top-notch, with catchy tunes and foot-tapping beats.

The film's cast has also delivered a remarkable performance. Sachin Pilgaonkar as Nitin is convincing as an over-enthusiastic and naive young man who is continually chasing his dreams. Supriya Pilgaonkar as Neeta is excellent as the calm and composed wife who is always by her husband's side. Ashok Saraf, as Nitin's boss, is hilarious as a fusspot millionaire who is always annoyed with Nitin's antics.

Overall, Maza Pati Karodpati is a classic Marathi film that is still relevant today. The film is a perfect blend of comedy, drama, and life lessons, which makes it a must-watch for all generations. It’s an entertaining film that will leave you with a smile on your face and a few life lessons to reflect on.
