Assi set for digital premiere on ZEE5 on April 17 after theatrical run After sparking conversation and earning critical acclaim during its theatrical run, Assi is set for its digital premiere on Hindi ZEE5 on 17th April. Directed by Anubhav Sinha and produced by Benaras Media Works and T-Series Films, Assi features a powerful ensemble cast including Taapsee Pannu, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Kani Kusruti, Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Seema Pahwa. A hard-hitting courtroom drama, Assi follows a lawyer (Taapsee Pannu) who takes on a brutal rape case, confronting not just the crime but the systemic apathy surrounding it. In a striking moment, the film underscores a grim reality—nearly 80 rape cases reported in a single day—amplifying the urgency of its narrative. It traces the journey of a survivor and her partner (Kani Kusruti and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub), whose lives are shattered by violence, as they navigate trauma, societal judgment, and an unforgiving legal system. Anchored in the reality of rising sexual violence and delayed justice, Assi shines a light on the emotional and social aftermath often left unspoken. Raw and unflinching, the film goes beyond the courtroom to explore the human cost of such crimes—the resilience it demands and the silence it challenges. Its honesty and emotional depth struck a chord with audiences in theatres, and it now aims to reach a wider global audience on ZEE5.
