Supriya Pathak shines in Auntypreneur by Pratik Kothari

MUMBAI: If ambition had an age limit, Auntypreneur joyfully tears it up and starts again. ShemarooMe’s new Gujarati premiere turns everyday aunties into unlikely achievers, led by a sparkling performance from Supriya Pathak Kapur.

Directed by Pratik Rajen Kothari, the film follows Jasuben Gangani, a 65-year-old homemaker living in a modest Mumbai society. When her building faces demolition, Jasuben refuses to accept defeat. Instead, she rallies a lively group of homemakers, caretakers and quietly determined women to dive into the unpredictable world of entrepreneurship and stock trading.

What begins as a desperate attempt to save their homes soon becomes a spirited journey of rediscovery. With humour, heart and a nostalgic charm, Auntypreneur celebrates women who have spent decades nurturing families and now dare to nurture their own dreams.

Supriya Pathak Kapur brings Jasuben to life with warmth, subtlety and an unmistakable spark, making her one of the most endearing characters to grace the screen this year. She is supported by a strong ensemble featuring Ojas Rawal, Brinda Trivedi, Margi Desai and Yukti Randeria. Together, they deliver a story that balances gentle comedy with meaningful insight, proving that resilience can be as powerful as reinvention.

Reflecting on the film, Supriya Pathak Kapur said that courage can quietly brew in the corners of ordinary lives and that Auntypreneur honours women who challenge expectations, especially when life demands a fresh start. She hopes viewers recognise their mothers, grandmothers or even themselves in these characters who turn crisis into confidence.

Streaming now on ShemarooMe, Auntypreneur redefines entrepreneurship as something that belongs to anyone with a dream and determination. It offers a cheerful reminder that every day is an opportunity to begin again, no matter the age.
