The Marathi political-thriller RaanBaazaar surprisingly dedicates a subplot to a romantic betrayal. A politician’s wife, suspecting an affair, bugged her husband’s phone. The resulting call recording—where the husband mocks their marriage—is played at a family gathering. The scene subverts the traditional maher (maternal home) return: instead of a tearful goodbye, the wife uses the recording to secure financial independence. Marathi critics praised this as a feminist reworking of the “savashi” (listener) trope, where the woman moves from silent sufferer to active archivist of her own betrayal.

In the contemporary Marathi media landscape—spaniting streaming web series, podcasts, and viral social media audio clips—the motif of the “call recording” has emerged as a potent narrative device. This paper examines how Marathi romantic storylines utilize call recordings not merely as technical evidence but as dramatic catalysts for betrayal revelation, emotional confrontation, and relationship reconstruction. Drawing from recent Marathi web series (e.g., RaanBaazaar, Samantar), short films, and popular Marathi audio content on platforms like YouTube and Gaana, we analyze how the act of recording a private conversation renegotiates trust, consent, and intimacy in modern Maharashtrian relationships.
