'Ashi Hi Banwa Banwi' is a remake of the 1966 Hindi film 'Biwi Aur Makan' directed by
Hrishikesh Mukherjee. The film is a kind of tribute to the stage character of Bal Gandharva who was famous for playing both male and female characters. The film's plot revolves around four friends who are searching for rented accommodation. The landlady insists only on married couples, so two of the friends are forced to dress as women and pretend to be wives of the other two. Laxmikant Berde and Sachin Pilgaonkar perform a drag queen comedy-drama to the fullest.
