Tisca Chopra’s Debut Thriller Saali Mohabbat Streams on ZEE5 as Reviews Roll In

Early coverage highlights Radhika Apte’s standout turn over the film’s inconsistent tension.

Overview

  • The feature, now on ZEE5 from December 12, runs about 1 hour 48 minutes.
  • Set in small-town Fursatgarh, the story follows homemaker Smita, who is scrutinized after two deaths in a restrained, investigative how-dunnit.
  • Radhika Apte leads a cast that includes Divyenndu and Anurag Kashyap, with production by Jio Studios and Stage5 and Manish Malhotra credited in his OTT producing debut.
  • Critics broadly commend Apte’s performance, with divided views on predictability, pacing, and the film’s ability to sustain suspense.
  • Marking Chopra’s feature directorial debut after her short Chutney and a 2024 IFFI premiere, the film is positioned for continuation with a sequel already written.
