Songadya (transl.Jester) is a 1971 Indian Marathi-language drama film directed by Govind Kulkarni and written by Vasant Sabnis. The film was produced and is starred by Dada Kondke with Usha Chavan. It was the debut of Kondke's own kind of ribald comedy, vaguely borrowed from tamasha, with a seductive heroine, an innocent but bumbling hero, and dialogue full of innuendo and sexual puns.

The cinematography was handled by Arvind Lad and editing was provided by N. S. Vaidya. In addition, the soundtrack was composed by Ram Kadam. The film was a huge box office hit ran over than 25 weeks in theatres.
