Netflix is bringing Greater Kalesh to your nearest and convenient screen. The cast features Ahsaas Channa in her first-ever lead role for the platform. The film’s first look has been released recently, teasing both chaos and delight with its tagline: “Meet Twinkle Handa ki family. Kya inki Diwali hogi happy-wali?”. The film is directed by Aditya Chandiok and written by Ritu Mago. The film premieres on October 17, 2025.
What is Greater Kalesh about?
Greater Kalesh revolves around Twinkle Handa (played by Ahsaas Channa), a young woman snagged in the whirlpool of family drama, secrets, and unspoken anticipations. The story digs into the fine symmetry between love and conflict that specifies every Indian household, especially during the festive season. Humor and heart are the aspects the film delves into, and what really happens when family members are compelled to stay under one roof for Diwali celebrations.
First look breakdown
The first look poster has already piqued curiosity. The poster shows Ahsaas Channa eavesdropping behind a door. Her expression is something between tensed and curious, which is a perfect metaphor for the film’s composition of hidden truths and interpersonal tension. The warm, earthy color palette makes indications at nostalgia. The modest details in the poster express emotional profundity rather than melodrama.
