Popular digital platform ZEE5, today released the award-winning film ‘Mehram’ on the platform. Starring revered actors including Farida Jalal, Sushma Seth and Rajit Kapoor in leading roles, the movie won rave reviews from critics across the world.
Written and directed by Zain Anwar, the short film delicately delves on the freedom of a woman to follow her dream independent of male support. The protagonist, Aamna (played by Farida Jalal) burns with the desire to perform the Hajj but is crippled by a Saudi Arabian law that forbids women to travel for the pilgrimage without a male blood relative. The movie revolves around the characters in her life and her long struggle to achieve the seemingly unattainable.
Speaking about the release, Manish Aggarwal, Business Head, ZEE5 India said, “We are proud to bring a film like Mehram to the OTT audience, this Eid. Given the reach of the platform, we hope the film can go beyond the realm of entertainment to spark a thought and subsequent conversations among the viewers."
