Mithai that’s heavy on silver foil ( varak ), light on real sweetness. Watch only for Neena Gupta’s performance and the Lucknow visuals.
Rating: ★★½ (2.5/5) Genre: Family Drama / Festival Slice-of-Life Language: Hindi Streaming on: [Hypothetical: ZEE5 / Disney+ Hotstar]
"Diwali Ka Jashn" attempts to do what most holiday films strive for: wrap fireworks, mithai , and family squabbles into a two-hour lesson about togetherness. The story follows the estranged Sharma family—patriarch Mr. Sharma (a stoic Anupam Khanna), his NRI son Arjun (Rajveer Singh), and a long-suffering mother (Neena Gupta-type figure). They reunite in a crowded Lucknow haweli (mansion) after five years. The catalyst? A letter from the late grandmother asking them to “light one diya together.”
