From left to right: Director Raaj Israni with veteran cinestar Sulochana Didi, main lead Milind Gawali along with senior choreographer Subalda Sarkat at the preview of Marathi Cinema Chingi on 11th Jan. 2009 at Ravndra Natya Mandir, Mumbai.

CHINGI is the story of a very happy married couple, Rohan Date and Aarti Date (Milind Gawali and Girija Oak) staying in the city of Mumbai.

Rohan's parents (Ravindra Berde and Ila Bhate ) come from their native place for a change and later stay on with them.

Rohan and Aarti both are working couple and are very busy with their routine life. They are avoiding new baby for last three years.

As it always happens Arti's mother in law starts demanding Aarti to have a baby boy. Aarti gets uneasy from this demand for a baby boy and when she shares her emotions with her husband Rohan , he laughs it out without paying much attention.

Arti's parental family is basically a middle class family. Arti's mother and father stay like a very happy close knit family with their four daughters Priyanka, Rinku, Veena and Saloni ( Aditi Sarangdhar, Sneha Wagh, Harshali Zine, Swini Karvir ).

Rohan suggests a colleague from his office Shyam ( Sandip Bhansali ) for Priyanka. Shyam's Mother and Father come to see Priyanka. Shyam's family like Priyanka very much, but after knowing family background of Priyanka, Shyam's Mother refuses to accept Priyanka in her family as daughter in law although Shyam is very keen for Priyanka.

When Aarti gets pregnant she gets very much worked up due to constant demand of her mother in law for a baby boy and also Priyankas marriage proposal being refused also gets on her head like a big jolt.

Although we have progressed tremendously in the fields of science and technology, our thought process is still limited to the old customs and traditions that are being followed ever since. The biggest example is that till today we are not excited when a girl child is born. Even today, we don't like a gird child being born in our family. First child should always be a boy that is our keen expectation.

All this thinking affects Aarti and she takes some important decision without consulting Rohan.

MANY ABNORMAL THINGS THEN STARTED HAPPENING IN THEIR NORMAL LIFE and THE HEART TOUCHING STORY OF CHINGI STARTS FROM HERE………………….
