Released in 2023, Vash stood out for its intense narrative, eerie atmosphere, and outstanding performances. The film explored black magic and hypnosis, with Hiten Kumar’s character manipulating and controlling Arya, played by Janki Bodiwala. Supporting performances by Hitu Kanodia and Hiten Kumar, combined with haunting cinematography and gripping storytelling, kept audiences on edge until the very end.

Praised by critics and viewers alike, Janki Bodiwala’s portrayal of Arya — balancing fear, trauma, and inner strength — was widely acclaimed. The film also inspired a Hindi remake, showcasing its universal appeal.

This dual recognition is not just a win for the Vash team but a proud milestone for Gujarati cinema, establishing a benchmark for storytelling in regional films and opening new avenues for creative experimentation in genres like psychological horror.
