Helmed by Tanuj Garg and Atul Kasbekar, movie is directed by Priya Aven and stars the powerhouse actors, Jitendra Kumar and Priya Bapat
This Holi, as colours dissolve boundaries and emotions rise to the surface, Hindi ZEE5 is unveiling the haunting first look of its upcoming thriller-drama, Dalimb — a film that promises to blur the lines between memory and truth, love and loss, reality and illusion. The film marks the maiden collaboration between Hindi ZEE5 and Ellipsis Entertainment, a renowned production house synonymous with acclaimed, unconventional and high-concept movie content, toplined by bold powerhouse actors and promising debutant directors.
Set against the backdrop of suburban middle-class Mumbai, the film, slated for release on the platform later this year, promises to be a deeply immersive and unsettling cinematic experience. The arresting first look of the film hints at a powerful story steeped in emotional volatility, fractured perception, and simmering tension — positioning the film as one of the platform’s most ambitious, awaited and tonally distinctive offerings in 2026.
Toplined by digital superstar Jitendra Kumar alongside Priya Bapat, Kshitish Date, Kavin Dave, Sai Prasad, Harish Kulkarni, and Sagar Yadav, in pivotal roles, Dalimb has been written and directed by Priya Aven, a long-standing executive in the corporate movies space, with dialog by Varad Bhatnagar, and additional dialogue by Tanuj Garg.
Speaking about the film, writer-director Priya Aven said , “Dalimb is deeply personal to me, and I cannot wait for the audiences to enter its world. Much has been drawn from events and realities I have witnessed first-hand. It is a pacy, engaging and unsettling thriller with an emotional core that will shock you and move you in equal measure. I have known Tanuj (Garg) for decades as a work colleague, and I was sure about vesting my first child in capable and passionate hands. The association with Ellipsis and Zee5 on my debut feature, has been deeply gratifying. ”
The first look of Dalimb is out now. The film premiers later in 2026, exclusively on Hindi ZEE5!
