Thus, these eight best films on ZEE5 offer action-packed fun to the couch potatoes as the drama unfolds right from the action sequences to the plot twists, while the heroism and villainy are on the same frequency.
1. Bastar: The Naxal Story
Based on Bastar’s dense and wounded terrain, “Bastar: The Naxal Story” circumvents deep inside the Naxal heartland, a journey that has been an old story of the region since 1910. This crime movie, directed by Sudipto Sen, is narrated by Neerja Madhavan, an IPS Officer, which is played realistically by Adah Sharma. While she struggles to keep the Naxalite movement in check, this action movie delves into the consequences of peace and its personal costs. Indira Tiwari, Vijay Krishna, and Yashpal Sharma head the ensemble cast in this thought-provoking and heart-wrenching tale.
2. House of Lies
“House of Lies” leads the audience into the dark world of thriller, crime, action, and suspense, all of which are amalgamated into the suspenseful and intriguing event of the murder of Albert Pinto the night after his birthday. The Hindi movie will see Sanjay Kapoor playing Officer Rajveer Singh Chaudhary, who wants to strip the layers of lies surrounding the case. Letting each suspect divulge their shades of darkness and motive further convolutes Rajveer’s search for truth.
3. Gadera
“Gadera” sucks you into the mysterious forests of Kumaon and takes you on a beautiful journey to the British colonial period. It is a period drama but has a lot more than that because it has more action and suspense. Filmmaker Yogesh Vats has given a different touch to this cinematic piece by taking Major Edward, played by Andrew Johnson, to his new post, a region steeped with mystery and folklore. Intrigued by the community’s reluctance to engage with the colonials, the local villagers tell stories about the treasure they found being cursed to scare off the British officers.
4. Kung Fu Panda 4
It sends Po into the most extraordinary adventure ever as he looks to choose the next Dragon Warrior in Kung Fu Panda 4. Mike Mitchell and Stephanie Stine direct this adventure comedy and animated movie; it is the kind of work that brings a perfect blend of action, humor, and spiritual enlightenment.
