July 26, 2025: What if your grandfather came back from the afterlife, not to bless your wedding—but to stop it? And what if the wisest voice in the story belonged to a talking crow? That’s the kind of wild, wonderful world Fakt Purusho Maate invites you into. After a successful theatrical run, this Gujarati fantasy-comedy is now making its world digital premiere on the JOJO App, a leading platform for premium Gujarati content. Rooted in culture, layered with emotion, and told with humour and heart, the film delivers more than meets the eye. Here are five surprising reasons why Fakt Purusho Maate is unlike anything you’ve seen before.
1. A Crow Is the Film’s Sutradhar and It Works Brilliantly
Ever heard life lessons from a crow? In Fakt Purusho Maate, Kaagesh the crow isn’t just background noise. He is the film’s witty narrator. Voiced by Malhar Thakar, Kaagesh adds humour, sarcasm, and unexpected wisdom to every twist in the story. It is rare to see a bird character take on such a smart and sassy role, making it a refreshing narrative choice that instantly hooks you.
2. A Battle Between Two Generations But With Magic
It is not your regular saas-bahu or father-son drama. Here, a grandfather from the afterlife literally uses magical tricks to stop his grandson’s wedding. Instead of angry lectures and emotional blackmail, you get flying furniture, confused priests, and rituals gone hilariously wrong. It is absurd, chaotic, and surprisingly moving, all at once.
3. Amitabh Bachchan Plays a God-Like Guide With a Gujarati Twist
You have seen Amitabh Bachchan play powerful roles before. But here, his cameo brings calm to chaos in the most rooted and respectful way. Appearing as a divine force, he does not preach, but gently nudges the characters (and the audience) to think. His dialogues are short, but they stay with you long after the scene ends.
4. The Film Talks About Gender Equality Through Laughter, Not Lectures
One of the most beautiful surprises in the film is how it addresses patriarchy and gender bias without being heavy. The grandfather wants control, but life and a clever script keep reminding him that times have changed. The story makes you laugh at things we have accepted for years, and by the end, it nudges you to question them too.
5. It Is a Sequel That Is Not Trying to Repeat the First Hit
Unlike most sequels that rely on the success of their original, Fakt Purusho Maate stands on its own. While Fakt Mahilao Maate focused on understanding women, this one flips the lens to the male perspective. But not in a preachy or one-sided way. Instead, it pokes fun at men’s confusion, fears, and ego with grace, charm, and tons of laughter.
Fakt Purusho Maate is full of surprises. It gives you magical realism with Gujarati flavour, a talking crow with attitude, a superstar cameo with soul, and a heart that beats for change. Now streaming exclusively on the JOJO App, this one is not just worth watching. It is worth thinking about long after it ends.
