Jio Studios and Mango People Media ‘s Kacchey Limbu, a coming-of-age sibling drama starring Radhika Madan, Rajat Barmecha and Ayush Mehra is streaming now on Jio Cinema. The film is getting positive reviews for the slice-of-life story that celebrates the unbreakable bond between siblings while exploring the challenges of pursuing one’s passion amidst familial expectations. Radhika Madan will be seen playing gully cricket who finds herself on opposing teams to that of her brother. The exciting story we came to know that the movie completed its shoot in just 18 days.
We spoke to director Shubham Yogi and he had to say “Since the majority of the film’s story along with its climactic drama is situated in a housing society compound, we knew we could make haste of the task if we planned our days well. The mission was to intelligently use the society location by divvying up the day and night hours in the most creative and efficient way. We applied the same mantra to the rest of the film too. I even wrote the film bearing in mind the benefits of writing multiple scenes in the same location. And then I had the experience and guidance of my core executive crew to help achieve the goal of finishing the shoot in 18 days. My producers Neha and Pranjal helped find the most shoot-friendly locations while my associate director Asthasoom Sharma made sure we were super prepped before we entered set.
He further added, ‘Detailed shot breakdowns and days-long workshops with the actors along with long hours of cricket training, helped us own the Herculean task at. Of course, it was my DP, Piyush Puty who did the heavy lifting on the shoot floor and made sure we make the film look great while also being swift! This was an experience I don’t think any of us would forget ever!”
Kacchey Limbu is a heartwarming coming-of-age story that follows a pair of siblings as they struggle to balance their families’ expectations, while pursuing their individual passions.

Their story shows us how dreams can change us, and how sometimes, we change our dreams.
