Heer Express is among the most anticipated family dramas of 2025 and, as a writer that has an Indian sensibility, I cannot look forward to exploring the emotional depths of the story. What we know to date:
Budget
The film’s budget is “To Be Announced”–no figures are yet available through official websites or reports from industry sources. Productions are typically required to release financial information prior to release or after launch. We’ll be watching!
Cast & Characters
The heart of the show of the show is Divita Juneja who makes her debut in the role of Heer Wallia. Her performance is paired experienced performers:
- Ashutosh Rana
- Sanjay Mishra
- Gulshan Grover–notably leaving his famous “Bad Man” persona to portray a fun-loving dhaba owner and a role the actor describes to be “nothing villainous”.
- Prit Kamani
- Meghna Malik
- Javed Khan Amrohi
- Rahul Dev as Shrey Wallia.
The youthfulness of the cast, paired with the experience of the actors promises an emotional and complex story.
Release Date
Following a previous date discussion the film is set to release its theatrical release on September 12, 2025 in India.
OTT Platform
The details regarding the OTT release, including the platform and date of launch are not yet available. The digital rollout is likely to be a follow-up to the theatrical window which is a standard in modern distribution.
Music & Songs
Music is created by a talented group: Tanishk Bagchi, Avvy Sra, Jerry Singh along with Sakaar Singh. The depth of lyrical lyrics is a result of Harman Jeet, and the music is stored under the umbrella of Zee Music Company. Singers who sing on the playback include Simar Kaur and Navi Sran. The mix of storytelling and melody is expected to be the highlight of the show.
Production & Crew
Umesh Shukla, who is the director of the heart-warming film Oh My God! – is the director and is also producer along with Ashish Wagh Mohit Chhabra and Sanjay Grover, along with Sampada Wagh as co-producer. The production is a joint venture among Tulip Entertainment, Divisa Entertainment, Merry Go Round Studios as well as Creative Strokes Group, with Pen Marudhar handling distribution. Filming was conducted in a variety of creative international locations, including India, the UK as well as India.
Why It Matters
Heer Express is notable as a bridge between cultures, both narratively and visually–tracing the journey of Heer through Punjab through the UK in which cooking is more than just a way to eat, but a means to show herself, honour her heritage and explore new lands. The versatility of the cast–from dark undertones to fun-loving rhythms–is what fills the film with a sense of. With a rich music pallet and an director who is known for his grounded storytelling, and you’ll have a film that’s both relaxing and stimulating.
