Much-awaited Gujarati blockbuster of 2023, Kutch Express, recently made its grand digital premiere on ShemarooMe on 3rd August 2023. In an exclusive conversation with DNA, The Kutch Express stars Manasi Parekh, Darsheel Safary and Viraf Patel talked about their experience while working with each other.
On being asked, Viraf jokingly answered, “It was terrible because Manasi eats a lot. When you ask Manasi questions about her character she will have a mouthful of oats so you can’t talk to her. You will have to wait for her to finish eating.”
While talking about Darsheel, the actor said, “He is extremely talkative, he will talk about everything except the work you are doing.” Hearing this both Manasi and Viraf started laughing. Starring a talented ensemble cast including Ratna Pathak, Mansi Parekh, Dharmendra Gohil, Viraf Patel, Darsheel Safary, Heena Varde, Kumkum Das, Margi Desai, Bhumika Barot, and Kausha, Kutch Express revolves around Monghi, portrayed by Manasi Parekh. Monghi is a devoted wife, a caring mother, and an exceptional artist. However, her world is turned upside down when her husband's secret affair threatens to shatter their family's happiness. Determined to protect their loved ones, Monghi and her mother-in-law, played by Ratna Pathak Shah, embark on an emotional journey filled with twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Beyond its captivating drama, Kutch Express presents a modern take on relationships, highlighting the strength of the unique bond between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and a son that encourages his mother to pursue her dreams and live her life to the fullest. Under the masterful direction of Viral Shah, this cinematic gem promises an exceptional experience, evoking laughter, tears, and hope. Each character springs to life, forging an unforgettable connection with the viewers. Produced by Parthiv Gohil and Manasi Parekh, 'Kutch Express' is a perfect family entertainer, brimming with a powerful message of women empowerment.
Actor-producer Mansi Parekh shared her thoughts regarding the digital premiere of the film in Hindi and Gujarati on ShemarooMe, stating, "In the heart of every Gujarati woman resides an invincible spirit, and Monghi's character in the film beautifully encapsulates that essence. She symbolizes the strength of a woman who unyieldingly carves her own identity, even amidst the tempest of betrayal. Portraying Monghi was both challenging and fulfilling, as I delved deep into her transformative journey of self-discovery and resilience. Through Monghi, I realized the power of embracing vulnerability while standing strong against a world determined to pull her down. I hope her story resonates and inspires every woman to rise above challenges, embrace their true selves unapologetically, and rewrite their destinies."
