When and where to watch Bandra on OTT?

Bandra will release online on ZEE5 on November 13. The streaming platform confirmed the release date through its official social media announcement.

The digital premiere comes more than three years after the film's theatrical release. Dileep plays the lead role, while Tamannaah Bhatia makes her Malayalam film debut as Tara Janaki, a celebrated Bollywood actress from the 1990s.

What is Bandra about?

The film moves between two timelines, connecting a filmmaker's investigation in the present day with the mysterious events surrounding a Bollywood actress in the 1990s.

The story follows Sakshi, an aspiring assistant director who becomes interested in the unexplained death of Tara Janaki. Hoping to uncover the truth, she approaches Mirchi, a former associate of the actress, whose account takes her into Tara's complicated past.

The narrative then shifts to the 1990s, when Tara is struggling to escape the control of her adoptive mother and influential film producer Raghavendra Desai. During a film shoot in Kerala, she finds refuge with Alexander Aala Dominic, played by Dileep.
