film directed by Divyang Thakkar

Jayeshbhai Jordaar is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language comedy-drama film written and directed by Divyang Thakkar. It was produced by Aditya Chopra and Maneesh Sharma under Yash Raj Films.[1] It stars Ranveer Singh in the titular role as the son of a traditional Gujarati sarpanch, who believes in equal rights between males and females in society.[2][3] It also stars Shalini Pandey while Boman Irani and Ratna Pathak Shah play supporting roles.[4]

Jayeshbhai Jordaar was earlier announced to release in theatres on 2 October 2020 and later 27 August 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic in India led to its postponement by the makers who waited for the pandemic to subside rather than releasing it on OTT platforms.[8][9] The film was released theatrically on 13 May 2022.[10] On box office account the film grossed ₹18.36 crore worldwide in its first weekend of release.[11]
