In the small town of Neemuch, the Dhabolkar trophy of the inter-colony football tournament holds great weight. The worst team in the league, coached by Jaaved Jaaferi’s character, has aspirations to at least win one game.
In comes Meenu the magician (Jitendra Kumar), who has no football skills but stays on to impress the woman of his dreams, Disha (Arushi Sharma). The Netflix sports film mixes comedy and drama as Meenu tries to woo Disha and try to compete with the football team, despite possessing no athletic ability.
The film brings it all down to the wire, as Meenu must summon all his magic to get his team over the line. His mentor reminds him, "Dil jeetnewale ko jaadugar kehte hai [The one who wins over hearts is called a magician]."
Kumar stated that Jaadugar was a film extremely close to his heart. He shared, “Playing the larger-than-life, rebellious Meenu was a new and exciting journey for me. I am thankful to the director Sameer Saxena and the Posham Pa and Chalkboard Entertainment teams for bringing this beautiful family entertainer to life and trusting me with this role.’’
Jaaferi added, “It’s finally time for viewers to experience the magic of the simple and sweet journey of Meenu and I am so thrilled to be a part of this very special film. Jaadugar is a perfect mix of comedy and drama and I am sure Netflix audiences around the world will discover and enjoy this inspiring story.”
Directed by Sameer Saxena, Jaadugar is produced by Posham Pa Pictures and Chalkboard Entertainment. Biswapati Sarkar has written the screenplay and dialogues of the film.
