Spherecho Productions’ First Film ‘Dial 1975’ Receives Positive Response on Waves OTT, Ranks No. 1 in ‘Popular on Waves’ on Day One
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 14: Kay Kay Menon, Kirti Kulhari, Pravessh Rana, Vishwanath Chatterjee and Shubham Vardhan headline the film directed by Navneet Behal and Vibhu Kashyap
Spherecho Productions’ first feature film, Dial 1975, premiered on Waves OTT on August 21, 2026, and has been receiving a positive response from audiences for its gripping narrative, atmospheric storytelling and strong performances. The film also achieved a notable early milestone by reaching the No. 1 position in the ‘Popular on Waves’ section on its first day of streaming, marking an encouraging start for the production house’s debut feature.
Set against the backdrop of the 1975 Emergency, Dial 1975 explores a high-stakes race surrounding the prototype of India’s first wireless phone. The film brings together technology, political turmoil and human drama as its characters navigate a world where communication is heavily restricted and a single device becomes the centre of a dangerous pursuit.
The journey of Dial 1975 from production to release, however, came with its share of challenges. The project initially faced several creative and executional hurdles, including glitches during production, footage that required extensive reworking during the edit and a screenplay that needed considerable restructuring. Given the politically sensitive subject, the team also had to work within several restrictions and creative limitations while shaping the narrative.
