Om Ka Hari Release Date Announced, Raghubir Yadav Turns Stubborn Father

The wait for Om Ka Hari is finally over. The emotional family drama starring Anshuman Jha and Raghubir Yadav has officially got its theatrical release date. Directed by Harish Vyas, the film will arrive in cinemas on September 18, 2026.

The film revolves around a complicated father-son relationship and explores a familiar but deeply emotional question—what happens when a father believes he knows what is best for his son, while the son is determined to live life on his own terms? With humour, conflict, affection and generational differences at its core, Om Ka Hari promises a story that could strike a chord with family audiences.

Key Details

Raghubir Yadav Plays a Stubborn Father

The biggest attraction of Om Ka Hari is the unusual father-son pairing of Raghubir Yadav and Anshuman Jha.

Raghubir plays Hari Prasad Sharma, a stubborn father from Bhopal who believes that his life experience gives him the right answers for his son. Anshuman, meanwhile, plays Om Prasad Sharma, an independent-minded young man who wants to make his own choices.

Their differences become the central conflict of the film. While Hari believes he is protecting and guiding his son, Om sees his father's interference as an obstacle to his independence.

The story therefore explores a relationship that millions of families can recognise—one where love is present, but expressing it openly is often the hardest part.

From Bhopal to Varanasi, Their Relationship Changes

The story of Om Ka Hari begins in Bhopal but eventually takes the father and son to Varanasi.

This journey becomes more than a change of location. It reportedly gives the characters an opportunity to understand each other away from the familiar environment of home.

The film's central conflict comes from the generational gap between them. Hari believes that his experience allows him to make better decisions, while Om wants his father to respect his independence.

As their journey progresses, the film explores whether the two can move beyond their arguments and finally understand what lies underneath their constant clashes—love, concern and the fear of losing each other.

Harish Vyas Completes His Love Trilogy

For director Harish Vyas, Om Ka Hari is more than another family drama. The film completes his cinematic trilogy exploring different forms of love and the emotions people often struggle to express.

His earlier films, Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain and Hum Bhi Akele-Tum Bhi Akele, explored romantic love and friendship respectively.

With Om Ka Hari, Vyas turns his attention towards parental love, particularly the complicated relationship between a father and his son.

The director has described the film as his most personal and universal story, built around the idea that parents and children can deeply love one another while still struggling to actually say it.

Anshuman Jha Reunites With Harish Vyas

The film also marks the third collaboration between Anshuman Jha and Harish Vyas.

The actor-director duo previously worked together on Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain and Hum Bhi Akele-Tum Bhi Akele. Their latest collaboration therefore continues an established creative partnership.

This time, however, Anshuman gets to explore a different kind of character as a son caught between his desire for independence and his complicated relationship with his father.

Soni Razdan and Other Stars Join the Cast

Apart from Anshuman Jha and Raghubir Yadav, Soni Razdan, Samta Sudiksha and Ayesha Kapur are also part of the ensemble cast.

Their presence adds further depth to the family-oriented narrative, which appears to balance emotional drama with lighter moments and humour.

The film has been produced under the First Ray Films banner and marks the production house's fifth film.

Asha Bhosle’s Final Recorded Film Song Adds Emotion

Another major highlight of Om Ka Hari is its music.

The soundtrack features legendary singer Asha Bhosle, along with Amit Kumar, Paresh Pahuja and other artists. One of the songs featuring Asha Bhosle is being promoted as her final recorded feature-film song, adding a special emotional significance to the project.

The song “Ae Meri Zindagi, Tu Chupi Hai Kahan” is scheduled to be released on September 8, coinciding with Asha Bhosle's birth anniversary.

Om Ka Hari Has Already Won Attention at Film Festivals

Before its theatrical release, Om Ka Hari has already travelled to several international and Indian film festivals.

The film had its world premiere at Stuttgart in 2025, followed by screenings at IFFM Melbourne, CSAFF and the Red Lorry Film Festival, where it had its Indian premiere at the closing gala.

Its festival journey has helped build interest around the film before its commercial release.

When and Where to Watch Om Ka Hari?

After its festival journey, the film is finally coming to mainstream audiences.

Om Ka Hari will release in cinemas on September 18, 2026. The CBFC has certified the Hindi-language film U/A, with an approximate runtime of 1 hour and 58 minutes.

With a relatable family story, two accomplished actors at its centre and music featuring Asha Bhosle's final recorded feature-film song, the movie is targeting audiences looking for something more emotional than a conventional commercial entertainer.

The real strength of Om Ka Hari could ultimately be its simplicity. Behind the arguments between a stubborn father and an independent son lies a relationship built on love—something neither of them may know how to express.

And that is perhaps the biggest question the film leaves audiences with: Can a father and son stop fighting long enough to finally say what they truly feel?
