ShemarooMe, one of India’s leading OTT platforms for premium Gujarati entertainment, has announced the digital premiere of the much-anticipated Gujarati film Shubhchintak, set to stream exclusively from Wednesday, December 18, 2025. Directed by Nisarg Vaidya, the film marks a refreshing shift in Gujarati cinema, blending dark humour with thriller elements to deliver an engaging, edge-of-the-seat experience.
Positioned as a genre-defying dark-comedy thriller, Shubhchintak brings together a powerhouse ensemble featuring Manasi Parekh, Swapnil Joshi, Viraf Patell, Deep Vaidya, Mehul Buch, Tusharika Rajyaguru, Nisarg Trivedii, Morli Patel and Viya Rathod. The film is produced by Parthiv Gohil and Manasi Parekh, with Dhaval Thakkar, and signals a bold creative leap for the industry.
At the heart of the story is Meghna, a first-timer who, along with two accomplices, devises a honey-trap to take revenge on Sanjay. What starts as a carefully planned scheme quickly unravels into a chain of comic chaos, emotional reckonings and unforeseen twists. Caught between vengeance and conscience, Meghna’s journey raises a compelling question—does revenge heal, or does it destroy everything in its path?
Actor-producer Manasi Parekh described the film as a turning point for Gujarati storytelling. “Shubhchintak is a fast-paced dark-comedy thriller and brings a completely fresh flavour to Gujarati cinema. We’re thrilled that it is premiering on ShemarooMe, a platform that consistently supports experimental and boundary-pushing narratives. After the love audiences showed to Kutch Express and Jhamkudi, we felt inspired to explore a genre that Gujarati cinema rarely ventures into. The film also marks Swapnil Joshi’s debut in Gujarati cinema, making this journey even more special. Our aim has always been to expand the horizons of Gujarati storytelling, and Shubhchintak is a strong step in that direction,” she said.
With Shubhchintak, ShemarooMe continues to reinforce its position as the go-to digital destination for contemporary Gujarati cinema. The platform’s growing catalogue reflects its commitment to diverse, meaningful and entertaining content that resonates with today’s audiences.
Packed with wit, suspense and standout performances, Shubhchintak promises a gripping watch for fans of smart thrillers and dark humour alike. The film will be available for exclusive streaming on ShemarooMe from December 18, 2025.
