Bai Chali Sasariye is a 1988 Rajasthani language film.[1] The movie ran for 100 days and thus created a history in Rajasthan cinema.[2]

It was reported in 2004 that the film helped revive interest in films made in the Rajasthani language,[3] but an article in 2005, speaking toward the decline of the Rajasthani film industry, reported that Bai Chali Sasariye was the only successful Rajasthani film over the previous 15 years.[4] This movie was remade in Telugu as Puttinti Pattu Cheera (1990), Marathi as Maherchi Sadi (1991), in Kannada as Thavarumane Udugore (1991) and later in Hindi as Saajan Ka Ghar (1994) starring Juhi Chawla and Rishi Kapoor.[5]
