ZEE5 Global announces world digital premiere of Malayalam film Pakalum Paathiravum

ZEE5 Global, the world's largest streaming platform for South Asian content, announced the world digital premiere of Pakalum Paathiravum on 28th April 2023. After bringing forth blockbuster Malayalam movies like Paappan and Mei Hoon Moosa, ZEE5 Global is set to bring forth another entertaining and compelling content with Pakalum Paathiravum.

The movie stars Kunchacko Boban, Rajisha Vijayan, Guru Somasundaram, Manoj K.U., and Seetha in prominent roles and is an out-and-out family thriller.


Directed by Ajai Vasudev and produced by Gokulam Gopalan, Pakalum Paathiravum revolves around the events after a wildlife photographer stops at a house en route to Mysore from Kochi via Wayanad. The village where he halts is already facing a Maoist threat, and the stranger’s presence further intimidates those around him. The family, who hosts him for a night, discover that the stranger isn’t all he says he is after they find a gun and gold on him. The series of incidents that happen during the night form the movie's plot.

With exceptional performances, a tight plot, and an intimidating background score, Pakalum Paathiravum is a must-watch thriller. With its World Digital Premiere on ZEE5 Global on 28th April, the film will be available to viewers across 190+ countries.

Talking about the film, director Ajai Vasudev said, “I personally love watching thrillers, especially the ones which keep you on the edge of your seat, and with Pakalum Paathiravum, we have attempted to do something similar. The movie is a slow burner with many twists and turns, and the response received so far has been encouraging. Now with its digital release on ZEE5 Global, we are looking forward to reaching out to more people as the thriller genre enjoys a wide fanbase on OTT platforms”.

Actor Kunchacko Boban said, “When I started reading the script of Pakalum Paathiravum, I couldn’t keep it down because it was such a page-turner, and I am happy that the final product has turned out so well. Getting under the skin of Michael was an incredible experience as he is a layered character with many hidden aspects to his personality. Ajai has done a great job of making the perfect family thriller. We all have given our best to the film and hope that with its digital release on ZEE5 Global, it reaches many more viewers across the world”.

Get ready to watch Pakalum Paathiravum from 28th April 2023 exclusively on ZEE5 Global!

Unlocking ancient healing: The power and precision of Vedic mantras

Ashwini Guruji

You may have heard of Sanjeevani Vidya, bestowed by Guru Shukracharya, which could revive the dead, or the Sanjeevani Buti that restored Lakshman’s life. Tales like Madhu Vidya, enabling immortality, and the Ashvini Kumars’ Chyawanprasha, rejuvenating Sage Chyawan, are not mere stories but the practical achievements of Vedic rishis. Masters of Creation, they understood the human body as a microcosm of the universe. The proof of these ancient sciences lies in modern scientific discoveries, many rooted in Vedic shastras. Visit www.dhyanfoundation.com to explore this connection.

Though much of this ancient knowledge has been lost in Kaliyuga and many herbs have become extinct, fragments remain accessible and potent. Divya Chikitsa Mantras from Sanatan Kriya are one such gem. These mantras use sound and vibrations to produce profound healing and transformational effects. Comprising seven mantras, they unclog energy channels (nadis), activate specific centers, and channel divine energies into the practitioner.
