Diljit Dosanjh puts on his Sherlock hat in Detective Sherdil. Watch trailer
Punjabi phenom Diljit Dosanjh is making a return to films after his critically acclaimed performance in Imtiaz Ali's Amar Singh Chamkila. This time the singer-actor will be emulating many great fictional detectives of the world, like Sherlock Holmes, Byomkesh Bakshi and Karamchand in the film Detective Sherdil. In the trailer, Diljit's Detective Sherdil is called upon by a wealthy family after the patriarch of the same household, played by Boman Irani, is murdered brutally for reasons unknown.
The trailer and the characters seem to suggest that director Ravi Chhabria has attempted to make a film cut from the same cloth as the Hollywood movie Knives Out (2019). A rich family, the death of the senior-most member, a lot of money in the balance, and extremely questionable family members with a lot of issues are just some of the similarities. Sherdil extends his help to the lot, and soon the entire family finds themselves on the other side of the investigation.

Diljit Dosanjh's partner in this quest is Diane Penty, who was last seen in the super-hit film Chhaava (2025), the highest-grossing film of her career. The rest of the cast is pretty well stacked as well, with stars like Ratna Pathak Shah, Chunky Panday, Boman Irani, Sumeet Vyas, and Banita Sandhu. With the classic whodunit theme right at the core of this narrative, the film, due to its cast and story, has the potential of being a fun-filled detour for its audiences.

Couldnt understand maths but it does not define me: Boman Irani on his struggles with dyslexia
New Delhi [India], June 20 (ANI): Bollywood actor Boman Irani, known for his standout roles in 'Munna Bhai MBBS', '3 Idiots', and 'Khosla Ka Ghosla', has been vocal about his childhood struggles with dyslexia. Reflecting on his journey, Irani shared how he overcame the challenges, highlighting that the learning disorder doesn't "define" who he is today. In a candid conversation with ANI, Boman Irani spoke about the uniqueness of every individual, pointing out that no two people share the same DNA, which makes each person naturally different. He urged people to use their "ability or disability" to their advantage and to focus on areas in which they truly excel. "No human being's DNA is identical. Right? Their structure, or maybe their dyslexia, or some aptitude, or the left brain, or the right brain, or there are different forms of autism, light spectrum, heavy spectrum. And everybody should use their ability or their disability to their advantage. I always think that when I was in school, I could not understand mathematics. And that does not define me. What does define me then? My ability to communicate. My ability to tell stories. My ability to use my body. My ability to use my voice. Use that," said Boman Irani. The 'Khosla Ka Ghosla' actor shared that while he struggles with numbers and has no memory for arithmetic, he has excelled in other areas, like remembering film scenes since childhood. He concluded by urging people never to feel inferior because of their differences. "I have a great memory for certain things. I have no memory for numbers. Zero. So, you can teach me arithmetic for hours, I will never understand it. So, that is society's way of judging you. I don't get judged like that. I get judged by my own personal competence. So, when I was 11 years old, I saw this scene in a movie. I still have that clear memory because maybe because of some disability or ability. So, I just feel, one must never feel inferior to anybody," said Boman Irani. With the diverse filmography under his belt, the actor opened up about some of the memorable roles of his career. One of them was his iconic role of 'Kishen Khurana' in Dibakar Banerjee's 'Khosla Ka Ghosla' in 2006. Being a Parsi from South Bombay, the makers were sceptical about Boman's casting for the role of a Punjabi businessman in the film. "Khosla Ka Ghosla was a big, big thing for me as an actor. As a performer. Everybody was very sceptical of me doing the role, because I'm a Parsi from South Bombay, and I'm playing a Punjabi from Delhi. And, yeh nahi kar paayega (he won't be able to do it). So, I said, no, no, no, the moment you say nahi kar paayega na, toh maine challenge le liya (I took it as a challenge). Katam ho gya ( It was over then). And, then you work harder and harder and harder to do the insurmountable. So, in that sense, it was, for me, very special. And, then, people couldn't believe that I'm, you know, Parsi from South Bombay, behaving, you know, the way this character was behaving," said Boman Irani. Boman Irani will be next seen in the film 'Detective Sherdil', which is exclusively streaming on Zee5 from today. He will be joined by Diljit Dosanjh, Diana Penty, Ratna Pathak, Sumit Vyas, and others in the film. (ANI)

The movie lends humor, drama, and heart to the film's storyline, making it a wholesome watch for all age groups. ETimes review for the film read, "The most standout thing about Dileep is Sameera Saneesh's costumes. Otherwise, he plays that typical good guy, responsible husband, caught in 'humorous' situations. Also, the actor is a less energetic version of his old self. And, there is the mandatory allusion to his real-life situation, where Johny Antony's character, who plays Prince's friend, says something about how everyone will believe what they hear on social media. A special mention to the female lead. She has done a vibrant, no-holds barred portrayal of her character."
