Zee5 relaunches Zindagi Channel and check out the latest offering:
With the philosophy that “art knows no nation, boundary or religion”, Zee5 relaunched Zindagi channel from July this year on ZEE5 app with a premium membership. Among the 5 original shows that the brand has come up with, CHURAILS really caught my fancy not only because of its name but its content too.
A powerful original : A thriller show Churails
Though people and society talk about women empowerment but are they really? Gender inequality is still deep-rooted in every society; men still criticize women, doubt them and even try to change them. And when women can’t take this disgrace any longer, they break the glass ceiling and decides to take matter in their own hands. She needs to believe she is a “Churail” to set things right #mainchurailhoon. This forms the premise of the show CHURAILS.
