Sanya Malhotra’s Mrs. has emerged as the biggest opening ever on ZEE5 since its February 7 OTT release, the streamer announced on Tuesday.
“#Mrs. makes a BLOCKBUSTER debut! Don't miss it!Watch now, only on #ZEE5,” the streaming platform wrote on Instagram alongside a poster highlighting the achievement.
Directed by Arati Kadav, Mrs. is a remake of the Malayalam drama film The Great Indian Kitchen (2021), which starred Nimisha Sajayan as a newly-wed woman who struggles to commit to a life of a housewife and give up on her ambitions.
In the Hindi remake, Sanya Malhotra plays a trained dancer who struggles to fulfil her dreams of working as a dance instructor after she gets married into a conservative family.
Produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Pammi Baweja and Harman Baweja, Mrs. also stars Aparna Ghoshal, Mrinal Kulkarni and Nitya Moyal.
Following the film’s world premiere at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in 2023, Sanya bagged the best actress award for her performance in Mrs. at the 2024 New York Indian Film Festival.
Mrs. made its Asia premiere at the 55th International Film Festival of India on November 22, 2024. It was also screened at the 14th edition of Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) last year.
