While Hostel Hadsa: Bhoot Ya Bhram premiered on 27 October 2026, exclusively on Free 5, Blind Game, starring Arjun Rampal and Priyamani, is set to premiere on 4th November 2026.

Free 5 brings together a diverse mix of catch-up television, movies, English, Korean and Chinese dramas, anime, microdramas, news, creator-led content and newer formats, giving audiences multiple ways to discover and sample entertainment on Zee 5.

Hostel Hadsa: Bhoot Ya Bhram, which premiered on 27 October 2026, is directed by Tabrez Khan and produced by Banijay Entertainment. Set against the eerie backdrop of a convent school in Shimla, the story follows Priyal Basu played by Sukirti Kandpal, who is a writer and staunch sceptic who investigates the legend of a headless horseman said to appear on Friday the 13th carrying a rose for a young girl. When a video of an alleged supernatural encounter goes viral and a schoolgirl subsequently disappears, her investigation begins to challenge her rational worldview. Starring Priyal Basu and Vineet Raina, the series combines folklore, suspense and supernatural horror in a contemporary retelling of a familiar franchise.

 

Adding a different dimension to the line-up, Free 5 also brings Blind Game, a Hindi suspense thriller premiering on 4 November 2026, starring Arjun Rampal and Priyamani. Produced by Deepak Mukut, Hunar Mukut, Kushagra Sharma and Shristi Sharma under Soham Rockstar Entertainment, the film is written and directed by the late Sangeeth Sivan. A Hindi remake of the Malayalam thriller 7th Day, the film follows an IPS officer who finds himself drawn into a series of suspicious events involving a group of friends and a missing sum of ₹5 crore. As he investigates further, a seemingly straightforward case unfolds into a dangerous web of secrets, deception and unexpected revelations, where nothing is quite as it seems.
