Lights, Band, Action! Avika Gor & Chandan Roy Begin Shooting for ‘Raju Baajewala’ in Indore

It’s lights, camera, baaja as Avika Gor and Chandan Roy kick off shooting for their new musical drama, ‘Raju Baajewala’, in the vibrant heart of Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Directed by Palaash Muchhal in his feature debut and produced by Aman Gupta (yes, the Shark Tank India judge!), the film is all set to bring the raw rhythms of wedding band culture to our screens — and hearts.

Inspired by the true stories of local band musicians, Raju Baajewala dives into the lesser-seen world of brass bands, emotional beats, and the everyday struggles and joys of performers who provide the soundtrack to our most celebrated moments — weddings! The narrative promises a soulful blend of regional flavor, heartfelt storytelling, and musical depth, all wrapped up in a culturally rich setting.

The shoot began with a traditional puja on set, with cast members spotted in full band baaja attire — think bright red jackets, brass instruments in hand, and that unmistakable Indori swag. The visuals from day one are already creating a buzz, offering a sneak peek into what’s shaping up to be a vibrant, emotionally resonant OTT film.

While many fans are thrilled to see Avika Gor and Chandan Roy team up for the first time — both known for their strong performances on TV and OTT — early reactions online are a mixed bag. Some are cheering the fresh subject and rooted storytelling, while others are cautiously watching for how melodrama is balanced in this genre. Still, there's no denying the buzz.

Streaming platform details are still under wraps, but if the first look energy is anything to go by, Raju Baajewala might just strike the right note.
