MUMBAI: Some journeys aren’t defined by the destination—they’re shaped by the people you meet along the way, and how they quietly help you rediscover parts of yourself. That’s the kind of journey Mithada Maheman takes you on. It’s an emotionally layered Gujarati film filled with drama, twists, and moments of laughter. The movie is now set to reach audiences across the globe with its world digital premiere on ShemarooMe from 14 August 2025, perfectly timed for the Independence Day weekend.
Directed by Chinmay Parmar, Mithada Maheman follows the lives of four individuals whose paths cross by chance, but whose lives are transformed through kindness, empathy, and acceptance of one another. At its center is Aditya (played by Yash Soni), a young man fighting his own emotional battles. Just when he is on the verge of giving up, he meets Hari (Mihir Nishith Rajda), a warm-hearted taxi driver who takes him on an unplanned road trip, one that slowly becomes a path to healing.
Their path soon brings two others into their circle—Komal (Aarohi Patel), whose grounded presence provides emotional clarity, and Jay (Mitra Gadhavi), whose humour masks a quieter pain. As these strangers travel through hill stations, highways, and tea stalls, what unfolds is a story of unexpected bonds, vulnerability, and slow but steady emotional transformation.
Sharing his thoughts on the role, Yash Soni said, “Aditya isn’t a loud or dramatic character, his pain is internal and hard to explain. That’s what made him feel so real to me. Playing this role reminded me that sometimes we don’t need to fix people, we just need to sit with them, without judgment. ‘Mithada Maheman’ is about those silent moments of understanding and small acts of care. I’m grateful to be part of a film that approaches such a delicate subject with honesty and warmth. I believe a lot of people will see themselves in Aditya, or in the people who walk beside him on this journey.”
