So iska fal mil raha hai humein yeh dekh ke acha lag raha hai!” Her character was a rage among the little ones, especially the way she would exclaim ‘OMG’.

We went through a lot of difficult times while filming in Uttarakhand. The bubbly Aarohi Patel meanwhile stated, “It obviously feels very good. Yeh film Gujarati film ki dasha aur disha dono badlegi!” Chaal Jeevi Laiye, meanwhile, is running in hundreds of theatres. DDLJ was running in just one cinema hall. But, our Gujarati film has completed 1000 days and is still running successfully in 160+ shows is commendable. In the last 15 years, hardly any film has completed 100 days.

Basically, it’s a lot of emotions that I am going through right now. Basically, wherever Gujaratis are present, our film is running in those cities or towns! We had a great run even Overseas and the international distributors are requesting us once again to release the film! So now we are planning for it as well.”ĭirector Vipul Mehta exulted, “I am on cloud 9! I am proud and also teary-eyed. The film is running in 160+ shows, not just in Mumbai and Gujarat but also in Coimbatore, Jharkhand, Pune, etc. Even today, we feel like it’s a brand new and recently released film as the audience continue to shower love. We faced a lot of hurdles but the end result turned out to be fabulous. He also added that it’s a phenomenal feeling that the film has turned out to be a historic blockbuster, “We are fortunate that the entire team of Coconut has given its best, from the first day of recce to this 1000th day event. But definitely, we’ll have a digital release at some point.” So we’d like to encash on its theatrical run first. Hence it’s a film to be seen on the big screen. To which Rashmin Majithia said, “This film has a larger life scale, grandeur, and even greater life emotions. We caught up with the producer Rashmin Majithia to ask about the OTT release of ‘Chaal Jeevi Laiye’ as a lot of people on social media have indeed been demanding to know when it’ll make its presence on a streaming platform. I am very proud to be associated with this project.” When asked if he feels it’ll complete 2000 days in cinemas, he laughed and replied, “You never know, this movie has been very lucky.” Lead actor Siddharth Randeria, who is also the biggest Gujarati star, said that he had never imagined the film would run in theatres for 1000 days, “When we make a film, we are never sure how it’ll be received by the audiences and to see the way the film is running makes me very, very happy. I really wish to see more of such stories which are offbeat yet entertaining in his forthcoming ventures.įor all the regional film connoisseurs, Chaal Jeevi Laiye definitely fares well beyond the offbeat and commercial successes of the movie.This writer caught up with the key people from the film’s team and spoke to them about their experiences. I really appreciate Vipul Mehta for the originality of the story and treatment of the subject. I do see this film as one of the remarkable and trend-setting movie for Gujarati cinema to metamorphose with the current times. Sachin-Jigar's music is excellent, well-aligning with the cinematography of the movie. I personally, am dying to see more of such artistes who can contribute to Gujarati cinema as well. We so will be happy to see her featuring in well-scripted movies like these. Ketki Mehta aka Aarohi Patel brings well-deserved effervescence to the movie. The movie is high on the emotional and social quotient with larger than life romantic quotient. The family drama about father-son relationship is portrayed excently by the actors Siddharth Randeria (who plays the father) and Yash Soni ( pontine glioma affected son). And why wouldn't it be? Vipul Mehta's directorial venture recreates Gujarati theatre at a much grander scale albeit with a very effective screenplay (rightly applied acumen for theatre and television). Chaal Jeevi Laiye is one of the must dekko Gujarati movies of 2019.
