The beloved Jhimma franchise is officially returning to the big screen as filmmaker Hemant Dhome and producer-actor Kshitee Jog have commenced filming for Jhimma 3. Following the blockbuster success of Krantijyoti Vidyalay Marathi Madhyam, the makers are ready to bring back their much-loved feel-good travel entertainer with a brand-new chapter. Presented by Iraada Studios and produced by Chalchitra Mandalee, the film is scheduled to hit theatres worldwide on January 1, 2027, making it one of the first major Marathi releases of the New Year.
The announcement has already generated excitement among Marathi cinema lovers, with the makers unveiling a vibrant beach-themed poster that perfectly captures the franchise's signature spirit of friendship, travel, laughter, and self-discovery. While Siddharth Chandekar has been confirmed as part of the cast, the filmmakers have promised several exciting additions to the ensemble, with more names set to be revealed in the coming weeks.
The Jhimma franchise has earned a loyal fan base over the years by blending humour, emotion, and relatable relationships. The journey began with the 2021 blockbuster Jhimma, which followed a group of women embarking on a life-changing trip to London and went on to become one of Marathi cinema's biggest commercial and critical successes. The momentum continued with Jhimma 2 in 2023, which once again struck a chord with audiences and emerged as one of the year's highest-grossing Marathi films.
Director Hemant Dhome and producer Kshitee Jog have consistently delivered stories that celebrate human relationships with warmth and authenticity. Their latest success, Krantijyoti Vidyalay Marathi Madhyam, further strengthened their reputation for creating meaningful yet commercially successful cinema. With Jhimma 3, the duo aims to expand the beloved franchise while retaining the emotional core and uplifting storytelling that audiences have come to expect.
Presented by Falguni Patel's Iraada Studios and backed by Chalchitra Mandalee, the third installment is expected to continue exploring themes of friendship, personal growth, and unforgettable journeys. Although the plot remains under wraps, the colorful first look hints at another travel-based adventure filled with heartfelt moments, laughter, and new experiences that have become synonymous with the Jhimma brand.
With production now officially underway and more casting announcements on the horizon, anticipation for Jhimma 3 is only set to grow. As one of Marathi cinema's most successful franchises returns, fans will be eagerly waiting to see what fresh adventures await when the film arrives in theatres on January 1, 2027.
