Chicagoland hosted the prestigious premiere of the critically acclaimed and blockbuster film ‘Mane Lai Ja’ on May 4, 2024. Presented by the esteemed USA Film Productions Company, helmed by Ramesh Punatar and Sean Patel, this special screening was attended by over 200 distinguished guests at the Bensenville Theater in Bensenville, IL.

The event was graced by the presence of esteemed personalities, including Chief Guest Sunil Shah from NY Life, Swapnil Shah, renowned Hollywood Actor, Producer, and Director, Bharat Oza from Media Oza, Naresh Shah from Rely Care, as well as sponsors like Legacy Entertainment, HGI Financials, Dream Motor Car, Sreeji Travels, and A.B.

To add an extra element of delight to the evening, the organizers offered incentives to early attendees, with the first 25 men receiving a complimentary carrying pouch and the first 25 women getting a pair of gold earrings. Additionally, a lucky draw was conducted after the screening, enhancing the overall experience for the attendees.

‘Mane Lai Ja’ struck a deep emotional chord with the audience, leaving many moved to tears. The film not only entertained but also provoked contemplation on the harmful rituals prevalent in our culture. The event was a huge success and the organizers thanked everyone for their support in making the premiere a resounding success.
