Songs of the Djinns (2026) Movie ft. Vyom, Manasvi, and Viktoriya

There is a generation of Hindi filmmakers who came up knowing exactly what they wanted to say and studying hard how to say it. Roman Mikhailov is one of them. Songs of the Djinns (2026) — produced by FT Production, Respect India Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., released April 17, 2026, 93 minutes long — is the film that puts that formation on full display.

The audience has given Songs of the Djinns a 7 out of 10 and the number is, in a sense, the least interesting part of what it represents. Behind it is a large group of people who made a choice to watch a Hindi Drama film, stayed for all 93 minutes of it, and felt the experience was worth recording.

Reading the Story of Songs of the Djinns (2026) — What Is Really at Stake

The story of Songs of the Djinns — “Songs of the Djinns” is a fairy tale about magic. On New… — is the kind of premise that Hindi Drama cinema has used before, but rarely with this degree of authorial intent. Roman Mikhailov’s script treats the familiar setup as a starting point rather than a destination, and Roman Mikhailov directs with exactly the same philosophy.

Produced across Russia, India on a crores budget, Songs of the Djinns situates its story in a physical and cultural landscape that Roman Mikhailov knows intimately. FT Production, Respect India Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. and Roman Mikhailov made the decision to be specific rather than generic, and the specificity is what gives Songs of the Djinns its authority.

The narrative architecture of Songs of the Djinns is Roman Mikhailov‘s most confident achievement in the film. The build is steady, the complication is genuine, and the resolution — when it arrives — earns its weight. The one concession: a final stretch that extends slightly past the point of maximum impact. A small tax on an otherwise well-structured film.

Who Carries Songs of the Djinns — and How They Do It

Vyom Yadav as a character in Songs of the Djinns is a performance shaped by cultural understanding as much as by technique. The character’s specific way of moving through the world — their silences, their deflections, their moments of unexpected directness — reads as Hindi truth rather than constructed role.

The supporting cast of Songs of the Djinns — particularly Viktoriya Miroshnichenko, Manasvi Mamgai, Vyom Yadav, Anastasiya Neginskaya — demonstrates something important about how Hindi cinema builds its worlds. The film is not built around its lead in a way that renders the supporting characters functional. Songs of the Djinns treats its whole cast as a community, and the community feels real.

There is a quality to what Julia Volkova, Viktoriya Miroshnichenko does in Songs of the Djinns that is worth describing precisely: they make the character’s relationship to the film’s central themes visible without ever directly addressing those themes. It is performance as subtext, and it is one of the most culturally specific things Songs of the Djinns does. Vyom, Manasvi, Viktoriya, Anastasiya, Vladimir operates with the same sophistication.
