Jackie Shroff’s new big-screen outing is drawing attention not with noise, but with a steady weekend trend powered by families and children. The Great Grand Superhero: Aliens Ka Aagman, which released in cinemas on May 29, 2026, has begun its theatrical journey on an encouraging note, helped by good word of mouth.
The Manish Saini directorial brings Jackie Shroff into a rare Hindi cinema space, a family-friendly superhero fantasy built around childhood wonder, an affectionate grandfather-grandson bond and an alien adventure. For a film with limited shows, the weekend response has given the Jackie Shroff starrer a talking point beyond its scale.
Good Word Of Mouth Boosts The Great Grand Superhero
The Great Grand Superhero: Aliens Ka Aagman collected ₹1.07 crore at the box office, marking a modest but positive start for a film leaning heavily on family audiences. Its Sunday performance became the strongest indicator of growing interest, with curiosity building around Jackie Shroff as an elderly superhero figure.
The film’s promotional campaign had positioned it as a children-first entertainer. Speaking about the film’s intent during promotions, Jackie Shroff said, “With ‘The Great Grand Superhero,’ we’re fulfilling every child’s dream. Kids’ dreams should always come first.” Reflecting on what makes a superhero beyond the costume, he added, “If your spirit stays young and your spine stays strong till 90, that itself makes you a superhero.”
That sentiment sits at the centre of the film’s appeal. Rather than presenting superhero spectacle in the usual action-heavy template, The Great Grand Superhero: Aliens Ka Aagman uses fantasy to tell a softer story about imagination, ageing and courage.
Inside Manish Saini’S Gentle Superhero Fantasy
The Great Grand Superhero: Aliens Ka Aagman has been written, directed and produced by Manish Saini. The Hindi-language superhero film is backed by Zee Studios and Amdavad Films, with Umesh Kumar Bansal and Manish Saini credited as producers. Zee Studios is also distributing the film.
The cast features Jackie Shroff as Jagdish Chandra, alongside Mihir Godbole and Shivansh Chorghe. The film runs for 112 minutes and centres on a child whose grandfather becomes the heart of a fantastical adventure after aliens enter their world. Its mix of comedy, family drama and fantasy gives Hindi cinema a softer superhero tale.
