Bollywood thriller “Pooja Meri Jaan,” starring Mrunal Thakur and Huma Qureshi, will premiere on ZEE5 on October 2, 2026, ending a four-year wait since production wrapped in 2022. Directed by Navjot Gulati, the film explores obsession, allegations, and prejudice. Mrunal plays Pooja, whose lover Aniket dies, while Huma plays Sana, a lawyer friend caught in the turmoil.
The film is produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films and also stars Vijay Raaz and Vikram Singh Chauhan. ZEE5 announced the release with a tagline calling it a story that makes viewers question perception. The Censor Board gave it an ‘A’ certificate. The film’s digital premiere arrives during the Gandhi Jayanti holiday weekend.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the same facts on “Pooja Meri Jaan”: a 2026 OTT release on ZEE5 after a four-year delay, cast details, and theme. Neither outlet adopts a critical or promotional stance, coverage is uniform straight reporting. The notable angle is the film’s unusual journey, completed production in 2022 but shelved until now, and its direct-to-digital premiere on Gandhi Jayanti. The lack of explanation for the delay leaves room for industry speculation about distribution changes or creative disputes. Audiences will see whether the thriller’s OTT route becomes a model for similarly stuck projects.
