The Great Grand Superhero (2026)

The Great Grand Superhero 2026: a grandfather, a boy and visitors from space

The Great Grand Superhero 2026 is a Hindi-language family fantasy built on a child's-eye idea: what if the grandfather everyone treats as ordinary were secretly a hero? Reviews and listings describe a schoolboy who insists this is true, and a plot that then escalates into an alien arrival. The film carries the alternate title Aliens Ka Aagman, which translates roughly as "the arrival of aliens".

Manish Saini wrote and directed it and is also credited as a producer, with Umesh Kumar Bansal as co-producer. It was made with Zee Studios and Amdavad Films, and Zee Studios handled distribution. We have not seen it, and sources describe its genre in slightly different ways, from superhero comedy to sci-fi comedy to family fantasy.

Release, runtime and streaming

Wikipedia and trade listings give 29 May 2026 as the Indian theatrical release, and the runtime is listed as 112 minutes. Wikipedia and Filmibeat differ on its box-office figures, and we are not repeating either, since neither number was independently verified for us.

No streaming platform or OTT date was stated in the sources we read. If you are looking for where to watch it now that the theatrical window has passed, check Zee's own platform and the big streaming services periodically, because a family film like this often arrives on a platform a few months after release. That is a general pattern, not a confirmed plan for this title.

Cast, with a note on conflicting credits

Jackie Shroff plays Jagdish Chandra, the grandfather, while Mihir Godbole plays Dipu and Shivansh Chorge plays Ladoo. Bhagyashree, Sharat Saxena, Durgesh Kumar, Prateik Smita Patil, Saharsh Shukla and Kumar Saurabh are also listed. One aggregator names different young leads, which other sources do not support, so we have kept the Wikipedia-listed names.

The film looks aimed at families with children and at viewers who enjoy light, slightly silly fantasy where an older star plays against type. If you want gritty superhero action, this is probably not that. We cannot judge the effects, jokes or performances without having watched it.

For parents, the practical questions are suitability and tone, and neither can be judged from listings alone. A certificate was not stated in the sources we read, so check the platform or cinema listing for the rating before deciding whether it suits younger children. Reviews we saw were not consistent enough for us to summarise a critical view.
