 About recent Gujarati films, Suresh M Thakkar’s   Sajan Haiye Sambhre, Gormano Var Kesariyo and Dikro Kahu Ke are huge hits.
 According to experts, many factors influenced the growth. Kartik Bhatt, a researcher on the industry, said that in the past three years, Gollywood has also made big-budget films. Though Gujarati cinema is an attraction in rural areas, many new directors have started experimenting with the urban crowd, Bhatt said. "Films representing such experiments include 'Mohan Na Monkey', 'Love is Blind', 'Vanechand no Varghodo', and 'Better Half'," he said. Bhatt believes that the main reason for the expansion of the industry was the rise of superstar Vikram Thakor. This actor lives in Gandhinagar and all his eight films have been hits at the local box office. "Looks like we have broken the jinx," Bhatt said.
