Zee Action shifts into high gear with Night Drive’s thrilling TV premiere
MUMBAI: A romantic night out, a wrong turn, and boom, Zee Action’s latest thriller takes off like a bullet on blacktop. Zee Action is revving up its engines for the World Television Premiere of Night Drive, a high-octane crime thriller that steers straight into suspense and doesn’t ease off the pedal. Set to air on Tuesday, 8 July at 7:30 pm , this pulse-pounding Malayalam film (dubbed in Hindi) promises viewers a full tank of action, intrigue, and paisa-vasool entertainment.
Directed by Vysakh, best known for the 2016 blockbuster Pulimurugan, Night Drive starts with a simple premise, a young couple on a late-night drive. But what begins as a quiet evening quickly swerves into a collision course with danger. Cue the crime syndicates, high-speed chases, and a relentless cop who’s as sharp as he is intimidating.
The film features a stellar trio: Roshan Mathew brings layered intensity, Anna Ben offers quiet strength with screen-fresh charm, and Indrajith Sukumaran delivers a pitch-perfect performance as a no-nonsense police officer on the hunt. Penned by Abhilash Pillai, the film balances edge-of-the-seat moments with emotional undercurrents, all set against a gritty, urban backdrop.
Clocking in a relentless pace, Night Drive doesn’t let its foot off the gas. Every scene accelerates the tension, keeping viewers strapped in till the very end. With plot twists popping like speed bumps on a slick road, it’s a must-watch for action lovers who like their thrillers with bite.
So, if you’re in the mood for adrenaline, suspense, and a good ol’ game of cat and mouse Night Drive is the ride you didn’t know you needed.
Catch the premiere on Zee Action, 8 July at 7:30 pm. Buckle up. Things are about to get intense.

New genre-led channels bring comedy, drama, horror, classics and South films to Smart TVs.
MUMBAI: Zee5 just turned Samsung Smart TVs into a free entertainment buffet because when premium content costs nothing, even the remote control starts smiling. Zee5 has launched five curated free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels on Samsung TV Plus India, making high-quality, genre-specific entertainment available subscription-free to millions of Samsung Smart TV owners across the country.
The five channels now live are:
Zee Comedy Nation – Popular comedy shows and movies

ZEE South Flix – High-energy South Indian films dubbed in Hindi
All content is drawn from Zee5’s extensive library and programmed in a lean-back, always-on format ideal for large-screen viewing. This launch strengthens Zee5’s Connected TV strategy at a time when 64 per cent of its premium content watch time already comes from connected devices.
Zee5 chief business officer Siju Prabhakaran said, “At Zee5, we believe accessibility and scale will define the next phase of digital entertainment growth in India. Our presence on Samsung TV Plus strengthens our Connected TV strategy, enabling viewers to discover curated, genre-led content in a seamless, free, and premium environment.”
Samsung TV Plus India head of partnerships Kunal Mehta added, “Local partnerships are at the heart of how we grow Samsung TV Plus in India. Zee Entertainment is one of India’s most iconic media brands, and bringing their channels to our service means millions more Samsung Smart TV owners can enjoy premium local content, subscription-free.”
The channels are available directly through the pre-installed Samsung TV Plus app with no login or subscription required.

In a streaming world where paywalls often block the fun, Zee5 and Samsung have quietly opened the gates, proving that sometimes the best things in life (and on your TV) really are free especially when they come with a side of comedy, drama, horror, classics and South Indian blockbuster energy.
