Amitabh Bachchan praises 'Kaalidhar Laapata' script
The Hindi remake of Tamil hit Karuppu Durai, 'Kaalidhar Laapata,' is now streaming on ZEE5 from July 4, 2025.
Abhishek Bachchan leads as Kaalidhar, a man with short-term memory loss who runs away from his family during the Maha Kumbh Mela after overhearing their plan to abandon him.
Follows a man and child's adventure
On his journey, Kaalidhar meets Ballu, an eight-year-old orphan. Together, they chase their bucket list and rediscover themselves—expect plenty of heart and some light moments too.
The Maha Kumbh Mela backdrop adds extra flavor to their adventure.
This is director Madhumita's 1st Hindi film
