Zee Cinema to premiere ‘Raja Natwarlal’
MUMBAI: Zee Cinema, the first Hindi movie channel in India, promises ‘Movies. Masti. Magic’ to its viewers and is now all set for its latest World Television Premiere. Coming up on Saturday, 29th November at 8 PM is the entertaining thriller ‘Raja Natwarlal’.
The film stars versatile actor Emraan Hashmi in a revenge drama laced with elements of crime and dark humour, which promises to keep the audience at the edge of their seats with power-packed performances. Other stellar actors who share screen space with Emraan are Paresh Rawal, Kay Kay Menon, Deepak Tijori and newbie Humaima Malick at their acting best. The film is directed by Kunal Deshmukh of ‘Jannat’ fame and produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur.
Commenting on the film, Emraan Hashmi says, “I am very happy to have starred in a full-fledged, entertaining, commercial film. It is about giving the audience the ‘paisa vasool’ cinema. I am coming back to the basics with this commercial masala, entertainer which I feel that my audience somehow was missing out on for a long time. I never thought I’d do a con film ever because I find them very superficial but this one has a heart, a soul and emotions flowing in. There is a dramatic reason for the character to play a scamster and that’s what I liked most. I’m sure my viewers will like it too.”
The movie is a complete package of emotions, drama, a street-smart hero and lots of comedy coupled with a lot of catchy songs. The song ‘Tere Hoke Rahenge’ topped all the music charts across. Moreover, Bollywood’s celebrated singers like Arijit Singh, Benny Dayal and Mika Singh have given their voices for the film, with songs like ‘Namak Paare’ and ‘Flip Your Collar Back.’
The movie centers around Raja (EmraanHashmi), a small-time conman,who successfully tricks people out of their money with his partner in crime Raghav (Deepak Tijori). Raja’s love interest Ziya(HumaimaMalick), a bar girl, pushes him towards building a more comfortable and hassle free life. Thus Raja decides to target Don Varda Yadav (Kay KayMenon) and his men for one final con job that will earn him the big bucks and a settled life with Ziya. Though the con is pulled off successfully, Varda Yadav gets Raghav killed. Raja seeks revenge with the help of a seasoned crook Yogi (PareshRawal). Will Yogi and Raja pull of the ultimate heist? And, will Raja get revenge in the due course?

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.
