Hitesh Puspak

Bela: Gujarati Urban Film (2025) drops you right into the thick of buzzing city life. The story revolves around Bela, a young woman who’s pretty much done with everyone’s expectations—her family’s, her friends’, and especially society’s. Stuck in that weird limbo between tradition and modern chaos, she’s got this restless energy, always chasing something that feels real. Her days are a blur of traffic, chai stalls, awkward family dinners, and that constant ping of WhatsApp messages dragging her back to reality. Bela’s journey isn’t just about her, though. The film peels back the layers of her world, introducing you to a cast of characters who are each dealing with their own baggage. There’s her childhood best friend, who’s chasing startup dreams but can’t quite shake off his small-town roots. Her dad is old-school to the core, clutching onto traditions while the world moves on without asking. And then there’s the city itself—loud, colorful, and always a step ahead. What really stands out? The film never sugarcoats the messiness of growing up or the confusion of trying to fit in. It’s funny, sometimes painfully honest, and full of little moments that feel way too familiar if you’ve ever tried to carve out your own space. Hitesh Puspak’s vision gives you a raw, unfiltered look at modern Gujarat, where everyone’s running but not everyone knows where they’re going. In the end, Bela’s story is all about finding something true, even if it’s not what you expected.
