Mumbai: ShemarooMe, the over-the-top (OTT) video streaming app from the house of Shemaroo, today, announced the World Digital Premiere of Gujarati film, ‘21Mu Tiffin’ on its platform on 3rd March. The family drama has bagged multiple international recognitions and has won the prestigious award at WRPN Women’s International Film Festival 2021.

The story revolves around Niilam Paanchal, the protagonist who plays many roles in her life like many other women in the country. She is a dutiful mother, wife, sister, and daughter and is sometimes weighed down by these titles that define her. She also runs a tiffin service and slowly makes a new friend Dhruv (Raunaq Kamdar) who makes her re-examine her life. The movie beautifully highlights how neglected and undervalued women can sometimes feel in their own homes.
Directed by Vijaygiri Bava, the movie stars Niilam Paanchal, Netri Trivedi, Raunaq Kamdar, Jahanavi Patel, Deepan Shah, and Hitesh Thakar. The mesmerizing lyrics by Parth Tarpara and melodious notes given by music director Mehul Surti further enhance the underlying emotions that the story aims to bring out.
