    Bachchan’s god-mode cameo lands on your screen as Fakt Purusho Maate premieres on Jojo

    MUMBAI: What do you get when a dead grandfather, divine powers, and a modern love story walk into a Gujarati household? Fakt Purusho Maate—a high-spirited, genre-blending blockbuster that’s ready to stream its madness on Jojo from 25 July.

    Fresh off a box office run that mixed laughter with generational chaos, the Jay Bodas and Parth Trivedi-directed film takes a wild swing at patriarchy, family feuds, and ghostly guidance. The plot follows Purshottam (Darshan Jariwala), an old-school family man who returns from the afterlife during the 16-day Shraadh period—with a divine mission to sabotage his grandson’s romance with an independent woman.

    Esha Kansara added, “Radhika is a very special character to me. She’s calm, clear, and knows how to stand up for herself without being harsh. I think a lot of young women will relate to her. This film talks about equality and family in such a warm and light-hearted way. It doesn’t preach—it just shows you a different way of thinking. I’m really happy it’s streaming on Jojo now because I feel it will connect with so many people. It’s the kind of story that starts a conversation at home without feeling heavy. And those are the stories that stay with you.”

    Jojo founder & CEO Dhruvin Shah said, “At Jojo, our vision has always been to bring stories that truly resonate with audiences and spark meaningful conversations. Fakt Purusho Maate is one of our most significant releases to date, not just because of its star cast or box office success, but because of the way it blends sharp entertainment with a powerful social message. It reflects the kind of storytelling we believe in—engaging, thought-provoking, culturally rooted, and universally relatable. We are proud to be the platform that brings such meaningful narratives to life and helps them connect with viewers across generations.”  

    The film also stars Mitra Gadhvi and Aarti Vyas Patel, with Kedar-Bhargav’s music giving it a pulse that swings between nostalgia and now.

    So whether you’re tuning in for some Big B magic, family banter, or just to settle the pati-vs-patraani debate, Fakt Purusho Maate is here to charm your screens—and maybe shake up a few drawing-room discussions along the way.

  • Unfiltered Naari streams on ShemarooMe

    Unfiltered Naari streams on ShemarooMe

    MUMBAI : What does a woman really want? If Bollywood’s tried and failed to crack it, Unfiltered Naari gives it a shot with a cheeky twist. The Hindi dubbed version of Gujarati blockbuster Fakt Mahilao Maate is now streaming on ShemarooMe, and it’s putting the spotlight on womanhood, gender gags, and one very confused lad with a supernatural gift.

    Originally a smash hit among Gujarati audiences, the film marks megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s Gujarati cinema debut, now repackaged for pan-India viewers in a language that promises even more punch. Directed by Jay Bodas and produced by Anand Pandit and Vaishal Shah, the film stars Yash Soni as Chintan, a middle-class bloke suddenly blessed (or cursed?) with the power to understand women.

    From matriarchs to mates, Chintan’s world is full of opinionated, unapologetic women. But when he starts hearing their unfiltered thoughts, the real chaos begins. Peppered with satire, heart, and some Bachchan baritone, Unfiltered Naari explores what happens when empathy meets exasperation in the great gender tug-of-war.

    The cast also includes Deeksha Joshi, Tarjanee Bhadla, Bhavini Jani, Kalpana Gagdekar, Chetan Daiya, Vaishakh Rathod, Deep Vaidya and Om Bhatt, adding to the ensemble madness.

    ShemarooMe’s Hindi launch of the film is part of its larger push to give regional gems a national stage. As gender debates get louder and more layered, Unfiltered Naari doesn’t claim to solve them, it just wants to make you laugh, think, and maybe text your mum more often.
