What happens when a traditional family patriarch passes away, only to return from the afterlife to interfere in his grandson’s love life? The answer unfolds in Fakt Purusho Maate, a Gujarati blockbuster that blends comedy, drama, and fantasy into a story that feels both unique and deeply relatable. After a successful theatrical run, the film is now set to stream exclusively on JOJO from 25th July 2025, reaching a wider audience ready to laugh, reflect, and see family through a refreshing new lens.
Directed by Jay Bodas and Parth Trivedi, the film follows Purshottam (Darshan Jariwala), who is granted supernatural powers during the 16-day Shraadh period. His mission: to stop his grandson Brijesh (Yash Soni) from marrying Radhika (Esha Kansara), a modern, independent woman who doesn’t quite fit into Purshottam’s traditional worldview. What unfolds is a tug-of-war between generations, where control, identity, and change come head-to-head, all wrapped in humour and heart.
The film’s highlight is undoubtedly the powerful and witty cameo by Amitabh Bachchan as God. His scenes, though brief, bring gravitas and charm to the narrative. His iconic voice becomes a turning point in the story, guiding both the characters and the audience toward introspection and change.
Speaking about the film’s release on JOJO, Darshan Jariwala shared, “Fakt Purusho Maate is one of those films that really makes you laugh and think at the same time. Playing Purshottam was a joy because he’s not a negative character. He truly believes he’s doing the right thing, even when he’s completely out of touch. That’s what makes him real. A lot of men from the older generation are like that. This story uses humour to talk about things we usually avoid in families. I’m so glad it’s coming on JOJO now because more people will get to watch it together at home. It’s entertaining, emotional, and quietly powerful.”
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.”
With memorable performances, sharp humour, and a message that speaks across age groups, Fakt Purusho Maate has received praise from both critics and audiences as a socially aware entertainer. The film also features a strong supporting cast including Mitra Gadhvi and Aarti Vyas Patel, along with music by Kedar-Bhargav that beautifully complements its emotional tone.
All set to stream on JOJO from 25th July 2025, Fakt Purusho Maate invites viewers to laugh, reflect, and experience a refreshing wave of Gujarati cinema that blends heart and humour with insight. Whether you’re tuning in for Bachchan’s divine cameo, the generational face-offs, or simply to enjoy the relatable quirks of family life, this is a film that entertains, engages, and gently nudges you to think.
