ZEE5’s ‘Mafia’ – A Chilling Tale Of Real Life Imitating A Killer Video Game

ZEE5 has an intriguing series coming up on its platform. It’s called Mafia, and you’ll be intrigued to know that it is not really on the mafia. The series is based on a thrilling video game, the very popular video game called Mafia. It narrates the story of six friends who are caught in a web of intrigue and mystery when they get engrossed in playing the game. For those not in the know, Mafia is an interactive video game that allows players to live the life of a gangster across three distinct eras of organized crime in America.

Mafia will apparently allow viewers to toggle between the series and the real actual game Mafia, right on the ZEE5 streaming platform. How ZEE5 proposes to do that is still a mystery, which will hopefully be unraveled soon by the streamer.

Mafia is a bilingual series, shot in both Hindi and Bengali. The new ZEE5 series is produced by prolific Bengali actor Parambrata Chatterjee and directed by Birsa Dasgupta.

Mafia is more along the lines of a psychological thriller, as the six friends go from being the hunter to the hunted. Ishaa Saha, Ridhima Ghosh, Anindita Bose, Madhurima Roy, Ankita Chakraborty and Namit Das play the six friends who come together after five years, for a college reunion.

Mafia releases on ZEE5 on 10th July. Stay tuned to Binged.com for updates on the trailer and more.
