After Three Long Years, Dileep and Tamannaah Bhatia’s Bandra Finally Arrives on ZEE5 This Nov 13

Some films take their own sweet time to reach your living room, and Bandra is the perfect example. Nearly three years after it hit theatres, Dileep and Tamannaah Bhatia’s Malayalam romantic gangster drama is finally making its digital debut — premiering on ZEE5 on November 13, 2026. For fans who missed it on the big screen, or those who have been waiting to revisit it, the wait is officially over. Directed by Arun Gopy, who collaborated with writer Udaykrishna, Bandra was produced by Vinayaka Ajith under the Ajith Vinayaka Films banner. The film released in theatres on November 10, 2023, during the Diwali holiday, and blended romance, action and gangster drama into one ambitious package. Dileep plays the male lead, while Tamannaah Bhatia plays the female protagonist — and the film marked her debut in Malayalam cinema, a milestone that drew plenty of attention at the time. The supporting cast is stacked too: Dino Morea in an important role, alongside Mamta Mohandas, Lena, Kalabhavan Shajohn, R. Sarathkumar and Easwari Rao, with Siddique, K. B. Ganesh Kumar and VTV Ganesh also part of the ensemble. Behind the camera, Shaji Kumar handled cinematography, Vivek Harshan edited the film, Sam C. S. composed the music and original score, and Anbariv choreographed the action sequences. A three-year gap between a theatrical release and an OTT premiere is unusual in today’s quick-to-streaming world, which makes this one something of an event in itself. Whether you are a Dileep loyalist, a Tamannaah fan curious about her Malayalam debut, or just someone in the mood for a romantic gangster drama this weekend, Bandra is now just a click away on ZEE5 from November 13. Grab the popcorn, settle in — this one has been a long time coming.
