Today’s Indian woman doesn’t just break barriers—she rewrites the rules.
Mumbai: In its continued effort to take powerful regional stories to a wider audience, ShemarooMe proudly presents the Hindi dubbed version of Hellaro—bringing one of Gujarati cinema’s most celebrated films to the Hindi-speaking heartland. This move reflects ShemarooMe’s commitment to making compelling regional content accessible across languages and geographies, ensuring that stories rooted in local culture reach every home.
Today’s Indian woman doesn’t just break barriers—she rewrites the rules. In the world of cinema, one film that powerfully captures the spirit of strength, empowerment, and silent revolution is Hellaro—the first-ever Gujarati film to win the National Award for Best Feature Film. Additionally, with 13 lead actresses jointly honoured with a Special Jury Award, Hellaro made history, leaving a lasting mark on Indian regional cinema.
Set against the stark, sweeping landscapes of Kutch, Hellaro unfolds the moving story of a group of women trapped in the silence of a deeply orthodox, patriarchal village. Their lives take an unexpected turn when a stranger in the desert with a dhol enters their world, unlocking not just rhythm and movement, but the courage to rise. What begins as a quiet act of rebellion soon transforms into a fierce cry for freedom, dignity, and identity. Directed by Abhishek Shah, the film features a stellar ensemble cast including Shraddha Dangar, Kaushambi Bhatt, Niilam Paanchal, Brinda Trivedi, Tejal Panchasara, Shachi Joshi, Tarjanee Bhadla, Kishan Gadhavi, Maulik Nayak, Aarjav Trivedi, Rajan Thakar, and Jayesh More. But it is the raw, riveting performances of the 13 women at the heart of Hellaro that elevate the film into something unforgettable—a movement captured on screen.
Sharing her thoughts on the film’s Hindi release, actress Shraddha Dangar said, “Hellaro has always been more than just a film—it’s a reflection of unheard voices and untold stories that exist in the quiet corners of our society. Bringing it to life meant building a world from the ground up, both emotionally and physically, in the heart of the desert. Now, with its Hindi release on ShemarooMe, I’m deeply moved that this story can reach a broader audience globally. I hope it stirs something in every viewer—questions, courage, and above all, a deeper understanding of what it means to be free.”
Visually striking, emotionally powerful, and rich with music and symbolism, Hellaro is a celebration of sisterhood, defiance, and the courage to dance even in the face of silence. Watch Hellaro, now streaming in both Hindi & Gujarati only on ShemarooMe.
