المعنى
Driving dangerously close to another vehicle.
خلفية ثقافية
In cities like Mumbai, 'cut marane' is almost an art form for rickshaw drivers. It's seen as a sign of a 'pro' driver, though it's dangerous. Pune is famous for its massive number of two-wheelers. 'Kat marane' is a frequent cause of verbal spats in Peth areas. Among college students, 'cut marane' is used when someone leaves a group chat or a plan without telling anyone. Action movies often use this phrase in chase sequences to add a 'local' flavor to the dialogue.
Sound like a local
When someone cuts you off, don't just say the phrase. Add an 'अरे!' (Arre!) at the beginning for maximum effect: 'अरे! कट मारला त्याने!'
Don't use with elders
Since it's slang, avoid using it when talking to your Marathi teacher or grandparents unless you're very close. Use 'ओव्हरटेक' instead.
