ZEE5 is all set to stir up a delightful concoction of suspense, humour, and high-stakes mystery with its upcoming original film Detective Sherdil. Headlined by the ever-charismatic Diljit Dosanjh, the film promises to be a vibrant ride through crime-solving chaos, wrapped in sharp wit and a dose of Punjabi swag. Premiering exclusively on ZEE5 on June 20, the film has already created quite a stir — and not just among fans.
Directed by debutant Ravi Chhabriya, Detective Sherdil takes viewers into the heart of Budapest, where a high-profile murder sets off a rollercoaster investigation. What follows is a comedy of errors, razor-sharp twists, and a labyrinth of secrets, all anchored by Diljit’s effortlessly cool detective persona.
Joining him in this star-studded ride are Diana Penty, Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah, Chunky Panday, Banita Sandhu, and Sumeet Vyas — a diverse ensemble that adds both charm and chaos to the quirky mystery.
A Warm Welcome from Bollywood
The film’s trailer, which dropped earlier this week, has already earned enthusiastic reactions from industry insiders.
Vicky Kaushal shared the trailer on his Instagram story with the caption, “Mazedar trailer!” Sunil Grover brought his signature energy with a joyful “Chak De Phatte!” Katrina Kaif, Aditi Rao Hydari, Angad Bedi, and Arjun Kapoor also lent their support by reposting the trailer and cheering on the team. Angad Bedi gave a shoutout to Diljit and AAZ Films, calling the project “another winner,” while Arjun Kapoor praised the slick vibe, writing, “Packs a punch!”
Sleuthing with Style
What sets Detective Sherdil apart is its blend of international flair and desi comic timing. With Budapest as the scenic backdrop and a detective who brings both brains and irreverence to the case, the film is poised to offer a refreshing take on the mystery-comedy genre.
Whether it’s the stylish cinematography, the comic relief woven into tense scenes, or the chemistry between an eclectic cast, the film aims to keep audiences guessing — and laughing — until the very end.
The Dosanjh Factor
At the heart of it all is Diljit Dosanjh, who continues to redefine versatility in Indian cinema. From soulful melodies to magnetic screen presence, Dosanjh once again proves he’s got the chops to carry a film across genres — and continents. Detective Sherdil is yet another testament to his growing prowess as a pan-Indian (and now global) entertainer.
With industry buzz, fan anticipation, and a trailer that’s hitting the right notes, Detective Sherdil is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated OTT premieres this month. Mark your calendars and prepare to dive into a world where no clue is too small, no suspect too innocent, and no detective more dapper than Diljit.
