ZEE5 drops the trailer of Subhash Ghai’s 36 Farmhouse

ZEE5 drops the trailer of Subhash Ghai’s 36 Farmhouse

This film also marks Subhash Ghai’s digital debut as a storyteller and his debut as a music composer.

ZEE5 on Tuesday launched the trailer of 36 Farmhouse, a family comic drama written by legendary filmmaker Subhash Ghai and produced by ZEE Studios and Mukta Arts Ltd.


36 Farmhouse revolves around an interesting murder mystery that plays out with humour. At the core, it is a satire on the dichotomy between the rich and the poor with a universal theme ‘Some Steal For Need – Some Steal For Greed’.

The trailer shows how 3 kids try every possible trick to own their mother’s will and how the involvement of other eclectic, relatable characters around them adds extra fun to the story. The narrative reveals different shades of our society depicted in the story of a family.

Subhash Ghai, who has written the film and composed the music, said, “After a long gap, it felt like I was thrown into a pool suddenly and put to test on all my skills of film making once again with 36 Farmhouse – be it producing an entertaining film for an OTT for the first time; writing an interesting new story with an ensemble cast; seducing lyrics along with composing two songs for the film by myself or taking the best of performance from each actor and technicians through my writing and editing table. I enjoyed this experiment to the core and am looking forward to millions of people watching it come live on 21st Jan on ZEE5.”

Sanjay Mishra, who is playing the role of Jai Prakash, said, "36 Farmhouse is a unique family drama where all the characters can be easily found in every Indian family. It is highly relatable and can surely be enjoyed by all age groups. We’ve had a lot of fun while working on this film, and it will be great to see how the audience reacts to the trailer and eventually, the movie when it premieres on ZEE5 on 21st January."

Amol Parashar, who is playing the role of Harry Prakash, said, "This has been an amazing opportunity for me, and I am grateful to Subhash Ghai sir for choosing me to play such a challenging character. It was a dream come true for me to work with such an incredible cast. Shooting for 36 Farmhouse was a lot of fun as well as an immense learning experience for me. I am certain that people will love this film and enjoy watching it with their family. Looking forward to the premiere.”

36 Farmhouse is directed by Ram Ramesh Sharma with story and music by legendary filmmaker Subhash Ghai. The film stars Sanjay Mishra, Vijay Raaz, Amol Parashar, Flora Saini, Barkha Singh, Madhuri Bhatia, and Ashwini Kalsekar in pivotal roles.

The film premieres on 21st January only on ZEE5.

Anurag Kashyap calls Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos "the definition of dumb" over 'Sacred Games' remark

Anurag Kashyap is known for being outspoken, and this weekend he made headlines again, this time taking aim at Netflix’s top boss Ted Sarandos. The filmmaker lashed out after Sarandos questioned the streaming platform’s early approach in India, particularly their decision to kick things off with Kashyap’s gritty crime drama Sacred Games in 2018.

During an interview on Nikhil Kamath’s podcast People by WTF, Sarandos said he may have chosen a more “populist” route if he could go back, admitting the series was perhaps too novel for the Indian market at the time. The comments didn’t sit well with Kashyap, who fired back on social media, calling Sarandos “the definition of dumb” and sarcastically suggesting the platform should’ve launched with traditional “saas-bahu” content instead.

‘Maybe Happy Ending’ wins six Tony Awards as Korean musical makes Broadway history

South Korea just scored a historic milestone at the Tony Awards, with the musical Maybe Happy Ending bagging six trophies, including Best Musical and Best Lead Actor. The show, centred on two ageing helper robots living on the edge of Seoul, left the awards night buzzing. Korean entertainment, long a force in film, television, and music, is now making serious inroads into Western theatre too.


From Seoul to Broadway: A story born in two languages

Maybe Happy Ending wasn’t always destined for the bright lights of Broadway. It first opened in a small Seoul theatre in 2016, a result of a local arts foundation’s programme. Co-created by South Korean lyricist Hue Park and American composer Will Aronson, the story explores loneliness, connection, and memory through the eyes of obsolete robots. Written in both Korean and English, the piece has been reimagined several times since its debut.

Darren Criss, known to many as a Glee star, played Oliver and took home his first Tony for the role. His co-star Helen J Shen portrayed Claire, the other robot. Together, they brought the emotional weight to a futuristic love story that’s more human than it sounds.


While the robots explore feelings in a near-future Seoul, the show managed to preserve distinct Korean elements like Jeju Island and the traditional plant pot hwabun on the Broadway stage, something fans celebrated online.


A cultural shift, decades in the making

With this win, South Korea joins the rare club of nations with major victories across all four major American entertainment awards, including the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, and now Tonys. From Parasite to Squid Game, and now Maybe Happy Ending, Korean creators are no longer breaking into the global scene, they’re leading it.

The success also validates years of quiet work in South Korea’s theatre scene. Original musicals like Marie Curie and The Great Gatsby have made appearances in the West End and on Broadway, but Maybe Happy Ending marks the first time a Korean musical has truly swept the Tonys.


As one critic noted, more than awards, it’s about shifting global perspectives. Korean musicals are no longer export hopefuls. They’re now centre stage.
