In a delightful reunion, Jio Studios and Baweja Studios are gearing up to charm audiences with their latest romantic comedy, Khwaabon Ka Jhamela. This unique venture, directed by Danish Aslam, known for his work on Break Ke Baad, stars Prateik Babbar, Sayani Gupta, and Kubbra Sait in pivotal roles. Mark your calendars as this much-anticipated film is all set to premiere on JioCinema Premium on November 8th. This cinematic journey marks the second collaboration between the two production houses, having previously teamed up for the acclaimed Mrs., which starred Sanya Malhotra and gained international recognition.
Khwaabon Ka Jhamela is not just an ordinary rom-com; it’s a witty exploration of unconventional relationships and personal growth. The film beautifully navigates the complexities of modern romance in a world where the dynamics of love are rapidly evolving. The storyline follows Zubin, portrayed by Prateik Babbar, a numbers-savvy individual who struggles with matters of the heart. His quest for love takes a comedic turn when his fiancée, Shehnaz, played by Kubbra Sait, declines his marriage proposal. This rejection ignites Zubin’s journey of self-improvement, driven by an unusual alliance with Ruby, an exuberant intimacy coordinator portrayed by Sayani Gupta.
The storyline takes audiences through a rollercoaster of emotions as Zubin and Ruby strike a quirky and unconventional deal poised to transform Zubin’s understanding of both intimacy and finance. This narrative promises to be both entertaining and insightful, diving into topics often left unexplored in Indian cinema.
Producer Harman Baweja expressed his excitement about the project, stating, “Khwaabon Ka Jhamela brings together an incredibly talented team and a truly unique story. It’s a rom-com that’s not just about finding the one, but it also takes two seemingly unrelated topics—personal finances and intimacy—and weaves them into a narrative that’s entertaining and meaningful. Collaborating with such an exceptional team has been super rewarding, and we’re looking forward to presenting this fresh take on love and life.”
Danish Aslam, the creative mind behind this film, is celebrated for his ability to weave humor and depth into his storytelling. Reflecting on his vision for Khwaabon Ka Jhamela, Aslam shared, “Rom-coms are back, and they’re messier than ever! I’ve always been attracted towards dysfunctional & unconventional relationships – which is pretty much 90% of love today.
. But I think there’s a lack of Indian movies telling those stories, where love is just a swipe away. ‘Khwaabon Ka Jhamela’ dives headfirst into the hilarious and often awkward realities of modern relationships. It’s a love letter to the young and restless, a generation navigating the beautiful mess that is romance in a world where the rules have changed. I’m a firm believer in the energy on set translating onto screen and this cast is as mad as they are talented. Working with Prateik, Sayani, and Kubbra was an absolute riot.”
Sayani Gupta, who steps into the shoes of an intimacy coach, expressed her admiration for the script, noting, “Khwaabon Ka Jhamela has such a brilliant script—funny, sad, and really cool. Collaborating with Danish, Arpita, and Prateik again was fabulous, and playing an intimacy coach was something entirely new for me. It’s a subject that hasn’t really been explored in Indian cinema. Danish made the story relatable for all of us. Shooting in the freezing cold left us in a brain fog, but it was an experience I’ll never forget!”
Prateik Babbar also shared his thoughts on tackling the comedic challenges the film presents. “There’s nothing tougher than making an audience laugh. It was fun to be down for that challenge with Khwaabon Ka Jhamela. I’ll be seen playing the role of a guy who’s great with numbers but terrible with intimacy. This film is a hilarious and heartfelt journey of self-discovery, that talks about the stuff most Indians prefer to be silent about—finance and intimacy.”
With backing from producers Jyoti Deshpande, Pammi Baweja, Harman Baweja, and Vicky Bahri, Khwaabon Ka Jhamela promises to be a refreshing take on modern-day relationships and self-discovery. As the release date draws near, audiences are eager to embark on this cinematic journey filled with laughter, love, and self-exploration.
