ZEE5 has unveiled the release date of its highly anticipated original series, Gyaarah Gyaarah. However, the streaming giant has added an intriguing twist by announcing the release date as August 9, 1990. The announcement has left fans puzzled about the intriguing concept behind the series.

Co-produced by the renowned production houses Dharmatic Entertainment and Sikhya Entertainment, Gyaarah Gyaarah is a gripping police drama directed by Umesh Bist. The series boasts a talented ensemble cast featuring Raghav Juyal, Kritika Kamra, and Dhairya Karwa.

The story revolves around two police officers from different eras who are connected by a mysterious walkie-talkie. The series explores the concept of the butterfly effect and its impact on the past and present.

The collaboration between ZEE5, Dharmatic Entertainment, and Sikhya Entertainment brings together a formidable force in the entertainment industry. The partnership promises to deliver a captivating and thought-provoking thriller that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

Producer Guneet Monga Kapoor expressed her excitement about the project, stating, “In Umesh Bist’s investigative drama, Gyaarah Gyaarah, set in the mystical hills of Uttarakhand, we explore uncharted territories and times. In this first-of-its-kind Indian Sci-Fi Drama, a walkie-talkie becomes the bridge between two timelines. Audiences are invited to journey with the local police department, as they race against time to seek justice for the town’s unsolved mysteries. Premiering exclusively on ZEE5, with a reach spanning 190+ countries, it’s almost time to experience time, not quite like you have before.”

Producer Karan Johar added, “Gyaarah Gyaarah is so much more than a regular police procedural series, it has its own USP of mystery and philosophy. In partnership with Sikhya, we’re so excited to take audiences on Umesh Bist’s investigative journey that will keep viewers at the edge of their seats. Sometimes, the journey isn’t about who or where… It’s about when! And it is now time for viewers to decode this puzzle, exclusively on ZEE5!”

Director Umesh Bist shared his enthusiasm for the project, saying, “Directing Gyaarah Gyaarah has been an exceptional journey, and I’m deeply honored to work alongside visionaries like Karan Johar and Guneet Monga. Through our show, audiences will get the taste of a thrilling tale that bridges time, connecting two police officers – one from 1990 and the other from 2016 – through a mysterious walkie-talkie. It has suspense, drama, thrill, and everything you need for an entertainer. I’m thrilled to have the show premiere on ZEE5, and I’m confident audiences will be fascinated by this exciting sci-fi thriller that challenges our perceptions of time and justice. It’s a mind-bending adventure that I can’t wait for viewers to experience.”

The trailer for Gyaarah Gyaarah is set to release tomorrow, further building anticipation for the series.

Producer Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films is set to make a significant impact on Independence Day, August 15, 2024. Not only will the highly anticipated horror-comedy sequel, Stree 2 starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, be making its theatrical debut, but the filmmaker is also gearing up to unveil the first glimpses of his upcoming big-ticket projects, Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force and Vicky Kaushal’s Chhava.

Stree 2, a continuation of the successful franchise starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, is expected to be a major draw on the national holiday. The film has already generated considerable buzz, and its release on Independence Day is a strategic move to capitalize on the wide audience.

On the same day, audiences can expect to get a taste of his upcoming action extravaganza, Sky Force, starring Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya. This marks a quick turnaround for Akshay Kumar, who will have another release, Khel Khel Mein, just a few weeks prior on August 15. Producers Maddock Films and Jio Studios’ Sky Force is scheduled for a grand release on October 2, 2024.

Vicky Kaushal, on the other hand, will be seen in the historical drama Chhava. The film is slated for a December 6, 2024 release, marking a repeat of the successful release strategy employed for his last film, Sam Bahadur, which hit theaters on December 1, 2023.

Vijay Sethupathi-starrer Maharaja has THIS connection with Sidharth Malhotra’s spy comedy A Gentleman (WARNING: Spoilers ahead)

1 year ago0

The Vijay Sethupathi-starrer Maharaja was a huge hit in cinemas and now, it’s creating waves on Netflix. Since the time it dropped on the streaming giant, it is common to see people raving about it and it has many more netizens curious, leading to its higher viewership and social media chatter. What has gone in Maharaja’s favour big time is its novel script. If it was a Hollywood film, it would have had a high chance of winning the Best Original Screenplay and this speaks volumes of writer-director Nithilan Swaminathan’s writing. Interestingly, the film has a solid connection with Sidharth Malhotra’s spy comedy A Gentleman (2017). But before you read further, be forewarned that the article has major spoilers.

Maharaja begins showing the protagonist, Maharaja, complaining to the police that three thieves burgled his place and ran away with a dustbin, which he and his daughter Sachana Namidass have named Jothi. The cops try to drive him away. But when he remains adamant and offers lakhs of rupees, they agree to find it. A parallel track, meanwhile, shows Selvam (Anurag Kashyap) having a secret life wherein he raids houses with the help of his gang and even kills and rapes the house residents. A shot shows the dustbin ‘Lakshmi’ placed in Selvam’s house, which makes viewers assume that he is the one who stole the item from Maharaja’s place.

But just after the intermission, viewers get the jolt of their lives when they realize that Selvam’s track is set in 2009 while that of Maharaja is set in the present-day! Soon, many things unravel leading to an intense and dramatic climax. How things get clear in the second half and how it’s completely unpredictable made the experience a paisa-vasool one.

This trick of having two parallel tracks in different timelines, without informing the viewers about it, was also done in A Gentleman, co-starring Jacqueline Fernandez. It starts showing Gaurav Kapoor (Sidharth Malhotra) working as a software engineer in Miami, USA. He’s innocent and away from violence. A parallel track shows Gaurav’s lookalike Rishi who’s a spy and is the opposite of the former – action-oriented and a risk-taker.

Director Raj and DK show their brilliance during the intermission point when it comes to light that Gaurav and Rishi are one and the same! Rishi’s track is set 5 years before and he gives up the spy life to become ‘a gentleman’. Before this revelation, the director duo attempts to trick viewers into believing that Gaurav and Rishi are going to come face-to-face. When it doesn’t happen, one gets intrigued before they drop the bomb.

It’s unfortunate that such a unique film with a script that not many can do justice to didn’t work at the box office. It came two years before the much-loved The Family Man’s release on Amazon Prime Video. It was the Manoj Bajpayee-fronted series that made Raj and DK a force to reckon with. Sidharth Malhotra, at present, is also in a much better space after the super-success of his OTT film, Shershaah(2021). Keeping these factors in mind, it won’t be wrong to say that perhaps, in today’s times, A Gentleman would have gotten a better reception.
