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.
