BOMBAY TIMES (March 1, 2021)

If two people are better than one, with four, the fun is about to begin. Swara Bhasker, Shikha Talsania, Meher Vij and Femina Miss India World 2009 Pooja Chopra are set to create magic on the big screen with their upcoming project, Jahaan Chaar Yaar.

The film follows the story of four friends, who are trapped in the rut of hapless monotony. With children who are grown up and emotionally-distant husbands, they have nothing to look forward to in their middle-class lives, until a getaway to Goa turns into a thrilling, roller-coaster ride that they had never bargained for. Their journey from demure housewives to daring dames forms the crux of the movie.

Producer Vinod Bachchan says, “As cinemas open their doors again, it is a matter of time till the audience opens its hearts again. We just need to welcome them back with a rocking film. Jahaan Chaar Yaar is an empowering tale of friendship filled with engaging twists and turns. I am sure it will reignite the glory of big-screen entertainment.”

The maker behind hits like Tanu Weds Manu, Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana and Ginny Weds Sunny, Vinod adds, “I am overjoyed to be crafting a fresh story with a solid script. Our team can’t wait to make this wonderful film.”

The movie also marks the directorial debut of writer Kamal Pandey, who has penned films like Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns, Shagird and dialogues for Shakthi: The Power. Scheduled to be shot in the rustic locales of Uttar Pradesh as well as the beautiful beaches of Goa, the film is touted to be a rollicking adventure.

Jahaan Chaar Yaar, a Soundrya Productions film, produced by Vinod Bachchan, will go on floors from March 5.
