Jojo to stream detective comedy ‘Gadbad Gotalo’ packed with chaos, crime and comic timing
MUMBAI: Two rookie detectives, one dead-silent village, and a case that blows up into a bizarre circus of lies, secrets, and laughter. Jojo, the Gujarati content platform, has announced its new original comedy-thriller series Gadbad Gotalo, set to stream from 27 June 2025. The five-episode series spins a tangled yarn of village oddities, unexpected twists and eccentric suspects, served with dollops of humour and suspense.
Set in a sleepy village that would give Agatha Christie’s countryside settings a run for their cryptic money, Gadbad Gotalo follows two well-meaning but wildly clueless detectives. What begins as a seemingly simple investigation quickly spirals into a comedy of errors as the duo stumbles into the middle of a full-blown kidnapping plot — surrounded by townsfolk who each carry secrets stranger than fiction.
Starring Kushal Mistry and Parth Parmar as the bungling detectives, the series also ropes in an ensemble of familiar Gujarati faces including Jatin Prajapati, Maulik Nayak, Vishal Pithadiya, Jay Wadhwani, Jiyansh Changela, Chetan Chhaya, Michelle Trivedi, Rajal Pujara, Urvi Vyas and Dhruvika Sai. Each character adds a twist of chaos to the tightly-wound whodunnit — or rather, who-didn’t-do-it.
“At Jojo, we’re always looking for stories that feel new but familiar, the ones that bring people together, spark laughter, and leave a little something behind. Gadbad Gotalo does just that. It’s fun, fresh, and rooted in the kind of storytelling that Gujarati audiences have always loved. We’re proud to bring this Jojo Original to screens and can’t wait for viewers to experience the madness for themselves”, said Jojo founder & CEO Dhruvin Shah.
Tapping into the cultural quirks of small-town India, the show pairs Gujarati flavour with tight writing, brisk direction and performances that switch between slapstick and sharp. The showrunners promise not just laughs, but layered storytelling hidden under the cloak of chaos.
With Gadbad Gotalo, Jojo continues its push to deliver original Gujarati-language content tailored for digital-first audiences hungry for humour and heart.
Gadbad Gotalo starts streaming from 27 June exclusively on the Jojo App.

Hari Om OTT premieres Bhagwan Jhulelal Sai series
First devotional show on Jhulelal Sai streams in Sindhi and Hindi.
MUMBAI: Hari Om OTT just turned the tide for devotional dramas because when Jhulelal Sai steps onto the small screen, even the waves start streaming in two languages. Hari Om OTT, India’s leading devotional streaming platform launched in June 2024, has premiered Bhagwan Jhulelal Sai, a milestone series that marks the first-ever show dedicated to the revered deity of the Sindhi community. The show, starring Manish Raisinghani as Jhulelal Sai / Varun Dev and Parag Tyagi as Mirkh Shah, launched on Jhulelal Jayanti and is available in both Sindhi and Hindi.
The series chronicles the life, journey and teachings of Bhagwan Jhulelal Sai, blending mythology with historical elements to deliver an authentic and inspiring narrative for global audiences.
Manish Raisinghani said, “Portraying Jhulelal Sai and Varun Dev was not just a role, it was a spiritual journey and a moment of immense pride for my family and community. This one holds a special place in my heart, especially since the show is coming in our very own Sindhi language as well.”
Parag Tyagi added, “Jhulelal Sai is the first-ever show that beautifully blends mythology with history. Hari Om has achieved something truly special by bringing the stories of our gods and goddesses to audiences in their authentic language.”
Hari Om OTT CEO Avinash Dugar said, “With Bhagwan Jhulelal Sai, we’re excited to share this inspiring story with the Sindhi community and beyond. We will continue to showcase the stories of Indian culture and Sanatan Dharma to the world, presented in their own language.”
The premiere builds on Hari Om OTT’s track record of acclaimed devotional titles including Mata Lakshmi, Jai Jagannath, Shri Tirupati Balaji, Mata Saraswati and Chandra Dev, all focused on celebrating India’s cultural and spiritual legacy through high-quality storytelling.
In a streaming landscape crowded with fiction, Hari Om OTT is quietly proving that the most powerful stories aren’t made up, they’re the ones that have already inspired generations, now delivered straight to your screen in the language of devotion. Bhagwan Jhulelal Sai is now streaming on Hari Om OTT.
