Diwali Is Around the Corner! Sooraj Barjatya’s ‘Yeh Prem Mol Liya’ Reminds Us That Safai Is a Family Affair

With a month to go for the film’s release, Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari get into the Diwali cleaning spirit in a quintessential Rajshri family moment.

Diwali is almost here, and in Indian households, that means one thing before the lights, sweets and celebrations take over: saaf safai! From dusting every corner to getting the house ready for guests, the annual cleaning ritual is as much a part of the festival as lighting diyas. And if there is one thing that makes the task easier, it is having the entire family pitch in.

Bringing this familiar Diwali ritual to life is the team of Yeh Prem Mol Liya. In a warm, quintessential Indian family setting, we see Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari getting down to the act of cleaning while the rest of the house is busy with their own festive preparations. One hand on a vacuum cleaner, the other on a broom, family members taking turns to share the work, the picture captures the chaos, warmth and togetherness that make pre-Diwali cleaning a tradition in so many homes.

This is a scene that is instantly familiar. There is always a corner that needs another dusting, a relative who has a different idea of how things should be done, someone trying to sneak away from the work. But when everyone comes together, even the annual cleaning marathon becomes a family affair. The thought is simple: saaf safai se parivaar ka time shuru!

The moment also brings to mind the world Sooraj R. Barjatya has made his own. Family has been the heart of his stories in films like Hum Aapke Hain Koun.., Hum Saath-Saath Hain and Vivah. His cinema is about more than big celebrations. It is also about the small interactions that bring people together. This Diwali, Yeh Prem Mol Liya taps into that familiar sentiment, reminding audiences that festivals are as much about getting ready together as they are about celebrating together.

Adding to the film’s appeal is its music by Himesh Reshammiya, whose compositions bring another layer of emotion and entertainment to this upcoming family entertainer.

Starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari, Yeh Prem Mol Liya is directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya and produced by Rajshri Productions in association with Mahaveer Jain Films. With just one month to go before its theatrical release, the family entertainer is set to arrive in cinemas on November 27, 2026.

Until then, it is time to bring out the cleaning supplies, get the family involved and make room for the festive season. After all, Diwali preparations are always better when everyone joins in.
