Actress Saumya Tandon and others graced the special screening of Radio Ghaint in Kolkata.

As part of its ongoing celebration of daring, avant-garde filmmaking, Reborn India Film presented Radio Ghaint, an enjoyable and hilarious comedy feature helmed by acclaimed director Indrajit Nattoji. With the always endearing Saumya Tandon in a prominent role, Radio Ghaint promises to be an extremely fun ride that is full of heart, humour, and mayhem.

Radio Ghaint, which is set in the made-up small town of Luvdhiana, centres on a failing radio station that is about to close. When the cast, which includes a romance novelist, a beatboxing security guard, and a self-styled Bollywood diva named Amrita, takes over the plot live on air, a last-ditch attempt to bring it back with a live radio drama ends in chaos. The drama is thrown into a whirlwind of aliens, spies, and unexpected twists by Amrita’s off-script improvisation, which is played with brilliant comic timing by Saumya Tandon. The moving tale of a woman reclaiming her identity and voice is hidden beneath the laughter.

Tandon, who is well-known for her parts in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! and Jab We Met, gives a vibrant and nuanced performance that gives the ridiculous tone of the movie emotional depth.

The Ladies First anthology, a carefully chosen collection of 50-minute stories told by women, includes Radio Ghaint. The entire Amritsar cityscape was photographed using an iPhone during the film’s production in a Baroda studio. Its stylised slapstick sound design honours Bollywood comedy’s heyday.

A great film to watch with friends and family.
