Mr Shudai OTT Release: When and Where to Watch Punjabi Horror-Comedy Film Mr Shudai?
The wait is almost over for fans of Punjabi cinema looking to add a spooky twist to their weekend watchlist. Mr Shudai, the latest Punjabi horror-comedy featuring Harsimran and Mandy Takhar, is making its digital debut this month. The film will start streaming on October 30, 2025, exclusively on Chaupal and OTTplay Premium, an ideal Halloween-weekend release if you’re into a mix of jump scares, laughter, and a surprising dose of philosophy about life itself.

The movie, directed by Harjot Singh, already made waves during its theatrical release earlier in 2024. The story follows a man who just can’t seem to end his own misery quite literally. Every time he tries to end his life, something absurd happens, until one day he gets possessed by four ghosts. Each of these spirits has a backstory, a wish left unfulfilled, and a knack for chaos. What follows is a rollercoaster of “be careful what you wish for” moments, emotional, hilarious, and just the right kind of eerie. You know those stories where death turns out to be more complicated than life? Mr Shudai leans right into that territory.
The cast is a big reason the film works so well. Mandy Takhar shines as a sweet yet sarcastic counterpart to Harsimran’s hapless hero. Karamjit Anmol and Malkeet Rauni bring the kind of energy Punjabi viewers instantly connect with, part dramatic, part ridiculous, but never boring. And somehow, amid the supernatural confusion, there’s a layered message about finding meaning and purpose. Not the preachy kind, though more like a gentle reminder slipped between punchlines and possession scenes.
Starting October 30, viewers can stream Mr Shudai in HD on Chaupal, with Punjabi audio and English subtitles, a small but welcome detail for non-Punjabi viewers who love regional content but don’t want to miss the jokes. OTTplay Premium subscribers will also get access to the movie through their aggregator plan, which is a nice convenience if you already juggle multiple subscriptions.
There’s something special about Chaupal becoming the hub for these fresh Punjabi stories. Over the last couple of years, it’s given us everything: romance, thrillers, and those comforting slice-of-life tales like Bambukat and Chal Mera Putt 2. Mr Shudai fits perfectly in its growing library, but stands apart because of its quirky spirit-world concept. It’s the kind of film that manages to make you laugh at death without making light of life, not an easy balance to strike.
So if you’re planning your Halloween movie night, skip the gory Hollywood stuff for once. Grab some popcorn, dim the lights, and let Mr Shudai remind you that sometimes, even the afterlife needs a laugh. Streaming exclusively on Chaupal and OTTplay Premium from October 30, 2025, and trust me, this is one haunting you’ll actually enjoy.
