ZEE5 has very quickly become the homegrown Indian version of Netflix.
Why is it that we say this?
Because of the spate of Hindi Original movies it has presented in the digital domain this year, much like Netflix does with original English flicks.
ZEE5 has released a surfeit of original movies on its platform in recent times, all in different genres and with diverse plot lines. Movies like 377 Ab Normal, Barot House, Posham Pa, Tigers, and Line of Descent.
ZEE5 is, in fact, the largest producer of original movies in the OTT space in India.
Adding to its burgeoning slate of Original flicks, it is now set to present another movie with a markedly different storyline – Operation Parindey.
Operation Parindey is a fast-paced thriller on India’s most daring jailbreak. It’s supposedly based on true events that took place in the wake of the 2016 surgical strikes.
What makes the thriller an even more intriguing proposition is that it is being directed by Sanjay Gadhvi, the man who helmed Dhoom 1 and Dhoom 2, two of the best heist-thriller flicks of Bollywood.
The ensemble cast of the movie adds heft to the project. It includes Amit Sadh, who’s playing SP Abhinav Mathur, and Rahul Dev, who plays Monty Singh.
The star studded list also includes Ameet Gaurr, Kunal Kumar, Aakash Dhaiya, and Rucha Inamkar.
Speaking about his digital debut, director Sanjay Gadhvi said:
“This film has a lot of depth and is challenging for me as a director, which is what drives me to take this forward. Hope you enjoy the film just as much as I am enjoying making it.”
