Maddock Films, one of India’s most dynamic production houses, is making waves with three of its projects making a splash, and an impressive lineup of 15 additional projects in the works. Moreover, the studio has embarked on an ambitious venture: a film series based on the timeless classic “Arabian Nights.”
Laxman Utekar’s film, “Zara Hatke Zara Bachke,” which is a comedy-drama produced in collaboration with Jio Studios, has taken the box office by storm. With the star power of Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan, the film has been dubbed the surprise hit of the year, raking in a commendable $11.1 million so far.
Meanwhile, on the small screen, “Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo,” an action drama series helmed by Homi Adajania and starring the versatile Dimple Kapadia, has been winning over audiences on Disney+ Hotstar.
Not to be outdone, “Jee Karda,” a Prime Video coming-of-age drama series with a creative ensemble including Arunima Sharma, Hussain Dalal, and Abbas Dalal, and featuring the talented Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead, has been met with critical acclaim and positive reviews.
It’s evident that Maddock Films is on a roll, contributing diverse and successful content to the Indian entertainment industry.
