Gujarati thriller ‘31st’ is set to premiere digitally on the JOJO app on December 31, bringing an intense and suspense-driven narrative to audiences as the year draws to a close. Built around a chilling premise that unfolds over a single night, the film promises an edge-of-the-seat experience where every moment counts and there is seemingly no escape from the truth.

As stated in a press release, ‘31st’ marks its first-ever streaming release on JOJO and positions itself as a gripping psychological thriller that deepens with each passing scene. The story explores themes of guilt, fear and the darker side of human nature when individuals are pushed to their limits, creating a constant sense of unease that drives the narrative forward.

The film features a strong ensemble cast including Hitu Kanodia, Shraddha Dangar, Prachi Thaker, Parikshit Tamaliya, Chetan Daiya, Vipul Vithlani and Hemang Dave. With a mix of seasoned performers and familiar faces from Gujarati cinema, ‘31st’ aims to deliver a tightly woven story that relies on performances as much as on suspense.

Veteran actor Hitu Kanodia, who plays a police officer in the film, described ‘31st’ as a quietly disturbing experience rather than a conventional loud thriller. He said the film focuses on emotional depth and inner conflicts, adding that the characters and their psychological layers play a crucial role in carrying the story forward. According to him, the film stays with the viewer even after the screen fades to black.

Speaking about the digital release, Kanodia said platforms like JOJO have opened doors for bold and honest storytelling. He expressed confidence that ‘31st’ would find an audience willing to engage deeply with its layered narrative, calling it the kind of cinema that deserves thoughtful viewing.

As Gujarati cinema continues to evolve and experiment with new genres and formats, 31st reflects this shift towards darker, more realistic storytelling. With its haunting mood, controlled tension and refusal to offer easy answers, the film is expected to resonate with viewers who appreciate thrillers grounded in emotion and realism.

‘31st’ will stream exclusively on the JOJO app from December 31, inviting audiences to step into a night where suspense builds relentlessly and the truth refuses to remain hidden.
