Aryabhatt Ka Zero (2026)
Aryabhatt Ka Zero (2026) is a Hindi comedy drama directed by Kamal Chandra, starring Himansh Kohli as Baggu, with Ravi Kishan as Chhannu Bhaiya and Sonnalli Seygall as Rinku. Baggu is an ordinary young man from a middle-class family, the kind of boy every neighbourhood has: big dreams, no direction, and a long list of failures behind him. A broken romance leaves him shaken, and his attempt to prepare for the UPSC exam brings a fresh round of pressure, judgement and disappointment. Family expectations sit heavy on his shoulders, and society has already given him its verdict: he is a zero, a boy who will never amount to anything.
The title borrows its idea from Aryabhata, the great Indian mathematician who gave the world the number zero. Just as zero looks like nothing but holds the power to change the value of every number placed beside it, the film argues that a person dismissed as worthless can still change his own value. Through comedy, family emotion and hard setbacks, Baggu slowly learns that failure is not a final result. With the support of the people around him, including the wise Aryabhatt Srivastava (Neeraj Sood), he begins to trust effort over fate and starts building a life he can respect.
Released in cinemas on 7 August 2026, the film is now streaming on JioHotstar.
