GAA RE MAA tells the quirky story of two musical women and their sons trying to find harmony in their lives: Prashant Kelkar aka Dj Paapi is a software engineer who aspires to make it as a DJ. Unfortunately, his biggest gigs thus far have been playing Punjabi 'hits' at weddings. But he is certain that big things are just around the corner. There are only two things in his way: The first is his music... He finds inspiration literally everywhere, sampling sounds from all kinds of sources, but his final compositions are always... difficult to comprehend. The second,  his mother - Jaya Kelkar, once a revered Hindustani Classical Singer but circumstances forced her career astray. Between his struggle with his music and a stern, overbearing mother who is adamant to protect Pappya from the cruel world of music, it seems like DJ Paapi is destined to play Punjabi Rock at weddings the rest of his life. But things change when Anita Peters moves to the building with her son Dave aka ’Dave-state’ And so begins a series of bizarre encounters, hilarious misunderstandings, heartfelt confessions and unexpected musical collaborations as Prashant drags the Peters into his musical ventures and by extension, into his Cold War with his mother.

This story also brings together the old world of music and the present day artistic expression that is all about deconstructing rules. A seemingly discordant combination that fuses together charmingly. The characters who are seemingly at loggerheads with each other, unknowingly look out for each other.
