Bey Yaar, an urban Gujarati film, directed by Abhishek Jain, has completed 50 weeks in theatres.
The film, which started with mere
62 shows per day in Gujarat and five shows per day in Mumbai, ended up reaching 111 shows per day in Gujarat and 44 shows per day in Mumbai.
The film has also made waves in Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane,
New Zealand, Belgium, Dubai, Muscat, Kenya, Tanzania, San Francisco, New Jersey and Britain where it was shown theatrically. Bey Yaar features Darshan Jariwala, Manoj Joshi, Divyang Thakkar and Pratik Gandhi.
“There are a few occasions when a film runs for so long. I am glad that Bey Yaar could sustain the run and all the credit goes to the Gujarati people,” said Jain. “They have loved the film, owned it and have spread the word. They are part of this movement where Gujarati cinema is revisited and attempts are made to revive it,” he added.
