Family Katta is a 2016 Indian Marathi-language comedy drama film directed by Chandrakant Kulkarni and produced by Vandana Gupte under the production banner of Sister Concern Entertainment.

Family Katta is a story of a dysfunctional family and the way in which the elderly couple at the head of the Sabnis family tries to hold it together. Madhukar (Dilip Prabhavalkar), who is also known as Bhai, and Malti (Vandana Gupte) are the elderly couple based in Pune, who are celebrating their 50th marriage anniversary and have planned to organize a small party at their residence. This is their another effort at reuniting their four children and their extended families. Their children and grandchildren are located in different cities, and the family has lost contact overtime due to many unresolved issues from the past, although the grandchildren (the two young cousins) are still close. Their daughter, Manju (Sai Tamhankar), is married to a man from a different community who is older to her (referred as of her father's age in one scene), and will be coming home and meeting the family after six years. It is also meant to be an opportunity for the patriarch Bhai to forgive their daughter.
The couple is shown carrying away daily household chores while anticipating and getting things ready for the big day. There is also a light humour arising out of couple’s arguments over small issues in their day-to-day life. The couple is shown celebrating their anniversary by sharing a private moment and remembering all the memories of their past years in the early morning hours. Meanwhile, the grandchildren create a family WhatsApp group and plan to go to their grandparents' house together against their parents' wishes. However, the film takes an extremely drastic turn in the second half since things do not go as planned and Malti's dream of seeing the family happy together is tested to the limit.
