Aiyyaa () is a 2012 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Sachin Kundalkar. The film stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Rani Mukerji in the lead roles. It was jointly produced by Anurag Kashyap and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures. The film was released on 12 October 2012.

== Plot == The story is about a Marathi girl, Meenakshi Deshpande, falling in love with a Tamil artist, Surya Iyer. She is a librarian at a college and has five members in her family (including herself): a wheelchair-using grandmother who is blind and has gold teeth; her father, who smokes four cigarettes together; her mother, who is obsessed with Meenakshi's marriage; and her brother Nana, whose only love in life is dogs. To escape the craziness of her family, Meenakshi lives her life in dreams. In her dreams, the only thing she's doing is dancing and enacting her favourite actresses, Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi, and Juhi Chawla. Her colleague Maina, nicknamed "Gaga Bai,"  is an eccentric woman who dresses up in weird ensembles inspired by pop star Lady Gaga.
