What happens when two rookie detectives take on a harmless little case, only to land themselves in the middle of a full-blown kidnapping mess in a village that’s anything but normal? That’s the chaos at the heart of Gadbad Gotalo, a JOJO Original Gujarati series that blends comedy, suspense and full-blown madness. Premiering exclusively on the JOJO App from 27th June 2025, the five-episode series promises to keep viewers hooked from the very first frame.
Set in a sleepy village that hides more secrets than it shows, Gadbad Gotalo follows two well-meaning but clueless detectives who think they’ve signed up for an easy job, until things start going hilariously — and dangerously — off-track. As they dive deeper into the mystery, they’re pulled into a bizarre world of eccentric villagers, hidden agendas, and one twist after another. It’s messy, unpredictable, and packed with moments that will leave you laughing, gasping and sometimes even thinking.
Starring Kushal Mistry and Parth Parmar in the lead, with an ensemble cast featuring Jatin Prajapati, Maulik Nayak, Vishal Pithadiya, Jay Wadhwani, Jiyansh Changela, Chetan Chhaya, Michelle Trivedi, Rajal Pujara, Urvi Vyas and Dhruvika Sai, the series captures the madness of small-town India with warmth, wit and wonderful storytelling. Every character adds a unique flavour to this comic thriller, making it both wildly entertaining and strangely relatable. Together, they bring to life a colourful world where every character has something to hide — and something to say.
Speaking about the series, Kushal Mistry and Parth Parmar, said, “When we first heard the story, we thought this is pure madness. But beneath all the laughs and confusion is a really emotional journey. Our characters are misfits, but they’re trying to do the right thing. Gadbad Gotalo is the kind of show that takes you by surprise. You think you’re just here to laugh, but slowly, the emotions sneak in. We loved playing a character who’s so out of his depth yet refuses to give up. He’s silly, sure, but also sincere, and we think that’s what makes people root for him. It’s a fun, fast-paced ride, and we’re so excited for audiences to watch it on JOJO.”
Maulik Nayak and Jatin Prajapati added, “There’s something very real about this madness. We’ve all been in situations where nothing goes as planned, where everyone’s talking but no one’s making sense. That’s Gadbad Gotalo in a nutshell. It’s the kind of story that makes you laugh on the outside and smile on the inside. The people, the situations, they’re unpredictable but also very real. We had such a blast shooting this, and I think that joy will come through. There’s a lot of love in this madness, and I hope the audience feels it.”
Mr. Dhruvin Shah, Founder and CEO of JOJO, shared, “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.”
With its sharp writing, quirky characters, and a whole lot of heart hidden under all the confusion, Gadbad Gotalo is more than just a comedy. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the biggest messes lead to the best stories. Streaming from 27th June only on JOJO, this one’s a complete entertainer — desi, delightful and deliciously chaotic.
