‘Bawaal’ all set for world TV premiere on Zee Cinema
Mumbai: “Beta mahol aisa banaao ki logon ko mahol yaad rahe…result nahi” But what happens when your outer appearance tries to take control over you and your image is all that matters? Brace yourselves for a story of love, ego, clashes and through an unexplored backdrop as Zee Cinema presents the World Television Premiere of Bawaal. Starring the dynamic duo, Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan, this family drama takes you on a wild ride through the life of Ajay Dixit, an image-conscious history teacher in Lucknow. His life philosophy? “Fake it till you make it” Will his carefully constructed façade sustain or crumble like a house of cards? Find out on Saturday 25 November at 8 pm with the World Television Premiere of Bawaal only on Zee Cinema.
Bawaal is a heartfelt family drama that tugs at the strings of emotion, weaving through the intricacies of familial relationships. With a focus on life’s lessons, the film transcends the ordinary and explores the vulnerabilities that define family bonds.
On the world television premiere of the film, Janhvi Kapoor said, “While portraying Nisha in the film, I discovered a character defined by silent strength and unwavering hope. She has her own set of struggles – relationship, health and societal but despite all of that, she embodies courage, intelligence, and moral aspiration. Like Nisha, I value observation over constant expression. Nowadays people are very image driven and, in a world, obsessed with image, her story encourages us to find courage in authenticity, and appreciate life’s simpler joys.”
Director Nitesh Tiwari said, “My philosophies are based on my own experiences for so many years. I have started believing very strongly that whatever happens, happens for the best. With all my films, I always try to keep my ideologies intact, ideologies that become the guiding light of the project. One of the strongest human feelings for me is ‘empathy’. That is my strongest take away from the film and I hope audiences take that away too when they watch the film on Zee Cinema. And to tell you the truth, when Bawaal came along, I only had Varun and Janhvi in mind, I’ve always felt that they have the ability to experiment and willingness to explore concepts.”
Varun Dhawan – The film unfolds life’s uncertainties; I find solace in the belief that God has greater plans. If it happens according to the mind, it’s good; if it doesn’t happen according to the mind, it’s still good. Today, people are not fearless. Every human being has to fight their insecurities at every step. Bawaal brought this reality closer and challenged me to step into a character far from my own. It reflects the raw truth of today’s filtered lives. But amidst everything, teaming up with Janhvi was a blast! Off-screen, she’s a riot—quirky, funny, and genuinely an oddball in the best way possible. She’s one of a kind and that’s what makes her so special.
In this emotionally charged family drama, Ajay Dixit, a charismatic middle school teacher known as Ajju, navigates life with a facade of success. Married to the vibrant Nisha, for superficial reasons, Ajju’s insecurities lead him to mistreat her. Faced with suspension at work, Ajju devises a unique plan to escape scrutiny by embarking on an unconventional journey with Nisha. As they traverse through life’s complexities, the film unravels their journey of self-discovery, exposing the couple’s vulnerabilities, shortcomings, and the truths that shape their lives. Will Ajay and Nisha emerge victorious in the battle against misunderstandings?
Mark your calendars for Saturday 25 November at 8 pm, as you witness the Bawaal only on Zee Cinema!

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat Premieres 14 Feb on Zee
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat world TV premiere 14 Feb at 8pm passion meets politics.
MUMBAI: Cupid’s arrow just got a plot twist and it’s heading straight for your TV screen. This Valentine’s Day, Zee Cinema is turning up the heat with the world television premiere of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, a raw, rule-breaking romantic drama that proves love doesn’t always come wrapped in roses.
Set to air on Saturday, 14 February at 8pm, the film stars Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa, directed by Milap Zaveri. It dives headfirst into obsession, heartbreak, and the kind of unconditional love that leaves scorch marks. Rane plays Vikramaditya, a powerful politician whose all-consuming passion for actress Adaa spirals into chaos when his feelings go unreturned unleashing a storm of emotion, misunderstanding, and life-altering consequences.
The timing couldn’t be sharper. Audiences are clearly craving intense love stories over sugar-coated ones, and this film taps straight into that vein. Harshvardhan Rane already has a loyal fanbase from his cult hit Sanam Teri Kasam, which cemented his status as the go-to guy for heart-wrenching romance especially among younger viewers who keep the film on repeat.
Milap Zaveri captured the film’s beating heart, “This film is about love that doesn’t follow rules. With Valentine’s Day being a time when audiences gravitate towards romantic narratives, the television premiere of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat on Zee Cinema felt like the perfect fit. The continued love for intense romances shows there is a strong emotional appetite for such stories.”
Rane himself called it a story rooted in messy, honest emotion, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat explores love in its most intense and vulnerable form where emotions are messy and deeply human. It’s a story that doesn’t shy away from passion or pain on Valentine’s Day making it even more special as it reflects the many shades of love people experience.”
Sonam Bajwa added her take, “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is not a conventional love story, it’s raw, intense and emotional. Valentine’s Day is usually associated with happy romance but this film explores love in its most vulnerable form.”
So if your Valentine’s plans include more than chocolates and clichés, tune in to Zee Cinema at 8pm on 14 February. Because sometimes the most unforgettable love stories aren’t the ones that end neatly, they’re the ones that leave you questioning just how far passion can push before everything changes.
