In addition to the same, ZEE5 Global has also produced several pieces of original content, an area in which the platform has taken some seriously audacious creative strides. One of the content formats with which the platform has quite boldly experimented is film, as can be evidenced by the fact that movies such as Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, Tarla, and the latest Haddi exist on ZEE5 Global.

Such movies have pushed the envelope in the realm of storytelling as well as the diversity of topics that films can touch upon. This article is about five such path-breaking ZEE5 Original films, which makes it perfect for you if you are looking for truly unconventional yet poignant feature presentations. Read on to know more.

Haddi (2023)

This Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer is the latest example of the kind of concepts that the platform is interested in and the kind of audacious stories that ZEE5 Global intends to tell. Imagine a film about an aspiring transgender man who moves to a metropolitan city in order to join a group of people of his own kind, only to eventually climb up in the ranks and establish himself as a feared crime lord. What’s more, the frontline transgender character in question is played by none other than Nawazuddin Siddiqui himself. That is Haddi in a nutshell for you. If the premise of Haddi has intrigued you enough, all you will need to do is wait until September 7th for its streaming debut on ZEE5 Global.

Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai (2023)

Frontlined by Siddiqui’s fellow Gangs Of Wasseypur alumni member, Manoj Bajpayee, Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai is the tale of a session court lawyer going up against a godman who has been accused of assaulting a minor girl. This film is based on the true events of a fairly long-drawn-out case that was fought in real life. Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi hai can perhaps be described as part dramedy, part courtroom drama, and partially a commentary on the god-people culture of India.

Tarla (2023)

Tarla is one of the most recent additions to ZEE5’s library of original films. It is essentially a biopic based on the life of India’s first MasterChef, Tarla Dalal, which traces the journey of a humble housewife who rises to the position of one of India’s most revered culinary figures. The movie sees the versatile Huma Qureshi in the skin of the titular character, and Sharib Hashmi is her on-screen husband. This movie talks about the importance of following one’s dream and what it truly takes to achieve one’s goal. This movie made its streaming debut on ZEE5 Global on July 7, 2023.

India Lockdown (2022)

This brilliant Madhur Bhandarkar directorial debut is essentially an anthology film, the events of which take place during the first lockdown that was imposed by the government during the infancy stage of the pandemic. This feature presentation explores the social, economic, and psychological impact that the lockdown had on the general populace of India. That is all to say that if you are someone who wants to get a better idea of what many people were going through during those turbulent times, India Lockdown is for you.

Mrs. Undercover (2023)

This rib-tickling and jaw-dropping spy comedy film is fronted by the likes of Radhika Apte, Sumeet Vyas, and Rajesh Sharma. This movie is essentially a comedy of errors, which is one of the best kinds of humor that goes along with a film that is about an undercover mission. However, although funny, the film also has a handful of poignant moments that tend to take its viewers by surprise. You can stream this film on ZEE5 Global right away.
