Mumbai, March 3 The streaming platform ZEE5 has unveiled the first look of its upcoming Hindi thriller-drama "Dalimb", starring actor Jitendra Kumar in the lead role.
Set in the middle-class suburbs of Mumbai, the film promises a psychological narrative exploring the delicate interplay of memory, guilt, and human relationships.
In a statement, the makers described the project as an emotionally intense and unsettling cinematic experience that blurs the lines between truth and illusion.
"Dalimb" also features Priya Bapat, Kshitish Date, Kavin Dave, Sai Prasad, Harish Kulkarni, and Sagar Yadav in key roles.
The film has been written and directed by debutant Priya Aven, with dialogues by Varad Bhatnagar and additional dialogues by Tanuj Garg. It marks ZEE5's first collaboration with production banner Ellipsis Entertainment.
Kaveri Das, Business Head, Hindi ZEE5 and Chief Channel Officer & TV, said the platform is focused on building a strong Direct-to-Digital (D2D) ecosystem centered on commissioned, streaming-first films.
"‘Dalimb’ is a psychological drama that explores the delicate interplay of memory, guilt, and human relationships through layered characters and emotionally charged storytelling. It is part of our strategic effort to strengthen our commissioned D2D pipeline for the year ahead, supporting distinctive stories created exclusively for digital audiences," she said.
Kumar, known for appearing in shows such as "Panchayat" and "Kota Factory", said he was immediately drawn to the depth and honesty of his character, Suraaj.
"The character has a very different arc, and I believe audiences will connect with it. Working with the team was a fulfilling experience," the actor said.
The film is scheduled to premiere on the OTT platform later this year.
