Vikram No. 1 Brings Powerful Action and Emotional Storm
Vikram No. 1 delivers powerful action and an emotional rural story that fans love
The end of February 2026 is set to be explosive for fans of Gujarati superstar Vikram Thakor. The leading entertainment platform, JOJO App, will release the highly anticipated action-emotional drama ‘Vikram No. 1’ on February 26, 2026. Gujarati films have seen a strong rise in recent years, especially on digital platforms. Earlier, many Gujarati films struggled to reach audiences outside Gujarat. Now, OTT apps have changed this trend. They allow films to reach viewers across India and abroad. This has helped actors like Vikram Thakor stay popular among both village and city audiences.
The film follows the journey of Vikram, a brave and honest young man from a small village, whose life changes forever when he discovers shocking truths in his late father’s old letters. This personal journey quickly escalates into a powerful battle for justice, honour, and truth. Director Jitubhai Pandya has set the film against the backdrop of rural Gujarat, crafting a narrative that resonates with both mass audiences and families. Rural stories have always played an important role in Gujarati cinema. Many successful films have shown village life, family values, and social struggles. These stories connect deeply with audiences because they reflect real life. The theme of a son learning about his father’s past and fighting for justice is also common in Indian cinema. It creates strong emotional moments and keeps viewers engaged.
With a blend of revenge, family bonds, and social values, the film’s emotional depth and traditional touch keep viewers hooked. The experience is further heightened by Maulik Mehta’s music and stellar performances by Shweta Sen and Bhumi Gur. Music has always been a key strength of Gujarati films. Songs often become popular during festivals, weddings, and social events. Emotional songs help audiences feel connected to the characters. Vikram Thakor himself is known for his musical background. Before becoming a film star, he was a popular folk singer. His songs were widely played in villages and towns. This helped him build a strong fan base, which later supported his film career.
Regarding the release, Dhruvin Shah, Founder and CEO of JOJO App, stated that their goal is to provide a global platform for Gujarati stories. He noted that by bringing a powerhouse like Vikram Thakor to JOJO with ‘Vikram No. 1,’ they are delivering the high-octane mass entertainment their audience craves. He added that Gujarati cinema is evolving to blend entertainment with meaningful messages, and JOJO is proud to be a pivotal part of this journey. This shift towards meaningful entertainment is clearly visible today. Earlier, Gujarati films mainly focused on comedy and family drama. Now, filmmakers are experimenting with action, emotion, and social themes. This change has helped attract young viewers as well.
JOJO App is the world’s first and fastest-growing Gujarati OTT platform, delivering culture and entertainment to over 177 countries. By 2026, the app will have earned the trust of over 7 million users. A remarkable 63% retention rate reflects the audience’s love for the platform’s content, which currently features over 200 diverse titles and 700+ hours of watch time, including movies, web series, plays, and reality shows. This growth shows the rising demand for regional content. Many Gujaratis live outside India, especially in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. OTT platforms help them stay connected to their language and culture. Watching Gujarati films and shows helps them feel closer to home.
Beyond digital streaming, JOJO is dedicated to Gujarati heritage. The app gained immense popularity through its participation in grand cultural events like ‘Sheri Garba’ and ‘Chal Man Vrindavan.’ Furthermore, JOJO App served as the Official Streaming Partner for the prestigious ‘Femina Awards 2024.’ Cultural events like Garba are an important part of Gujarat’s identity. Garba festivals attract thousands of people every year. By supporting such events, platforms like JOJO help promote Gujarati culture to the younger generation. This also helps artists gain more recognition.
If you love the essence of rural Gujarat and the charisma of Vikram Thakor, don’t miss this blockbuster entertainer on the JOJO App starting February 26. Vikram Thakor remains one of the most recognised stars in Gujarati cinema. He has acted in many successful films and is often seen as a symbol of rural pride. His simple style and emotional acting connect strongly with common people. His fans admire him for representing village life with honesty. With the digital release of ‘Vikram No. 1,’ his reach is expected to grow even further. The film’s mix of action, emotion, music, and family values reflects the changing face of Gujarati cinema, which is now ready to shine on the global stage.
