    Global, 10th January 2025: What if a simple bank error turned your world upside down? ZEE5 Global, the world’s largest streaming platform for South Asian content, explores this intriguing question with the trailer launch of its upcoming film, “Hisaab Barabar.” The film promises to unravel a gripping narrative of financial fraud, corruption, and the relentless pursuit of justice. Starring the incredibly talented R Madhavan, Neil Nitin Mukesh, and Kirti Kulhari, “Hisaab Barabar” immerses viewers in a world where one man’s quest for justice uncovers far more than he bargained for. Directed by Ashwni Dhir and produced by Jio Studios and SP Cinecorp, the film includes drama, wit and insightful social commentary. “Hisaab Barabar” had its world premiere at IFFI 2024 and premiered on ZEE5 Global on 24th January 2025 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

    In “Hisaab Barabar,” R Madhavan portrays Radhe Mohan Sharma, a railway ticket checker who uncovers a small discrepancy in his bank account. What begins as a simple financial error quickly unravels into a dangerous journey filled with fraud, deceit, and corruption. As Radhe delves deeper, he finds himself entangled in a high-stakes battle with Micky Mehta (played by Neil Nitin Mukesh), a suave yet ruthless banker with significant influence. With gripping suspense, social commentary, and unexpected twists, “Hisaab Barabar” explores the delicate balance between personal integrity and a larger, corrupt system. As Radhe’s quest for justice intensifies, the film poses a profound question: can one ordinary man take on systemic corruption? And will his perseverance and resilience be enough to secure his victory?

    Director Statement

    Director Ashwni Dhir expressed his excitement for the trailer launch saying, “Hisaab Barabar is a unique blend of drama, sharp wit, and thought-provoking social commentary, all wrapped in a storyline that will keep you entertained through every frame. With a powerhouse cast led by R. Madhavan, Neil Nitin Mukesh, and Kirti Kulhari, the film offers an intriguing look at corruption and justice. What makes it truly special, however, is the pinch of humor that adds an extra dose of entertainment, making it a fun yet entertaining ride you won’t want to miss”.

    R Madhavan said, “I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of “Hisaab Barabar”, my first venture with ZEE5 Global! Playing Radhe Mohan Sharma has been such a fun challenge. He’s an ordinary man thrown into an extraordinary situation, and his journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster. “Hisaab Barabar” is a film that will appeal to people across all age groups and genders as it is the story of a common man and his fight against systematic corruption. So, I insist that people come together to watch this real and relevant story as Radhe’s perseverance and resilience is sure to inspire many.”

    Neil Nitin Mukesh mentioned, “Being a part of Hisaab Barabar and playing Micky Mehta, a suave and ruthless banker, has been both challenging and incredibly fulfilling. I’ve always been drawn to roles that push me into darker, more layered territories, and Micky definitely fits the bill. Moreover, working alongside R. Madhavan has been an absolute delight—he’s not only a fantastic human but also an amazing co-actor, and we had so much fun on set. Luckily this chemistry translates on-screen as well as our face-offs in the film are definitely worth a watch so please go watch Hisaab Barabar starting 24th January only on ZEE5 Global.”

    Kirti Kulhari added, “I’ve always enjoyed taking on diverse roles that challenge me as an actor, and Hisaab Barabar is no exception. In addition to being a kickass role, I also had the pleasure of working alongside my co-star R Madhavan and director, Ashwni Dhir who are absolutely lovely to work with. They ensured that the atmosphere on the set was a lot of fun and creative. Hisaab Barabar is the kind of massy film and popcorn entertainer that is sure to entertain all Indians. It is equal part entertaining and thought-provoking and just the right kind of film for Republic Day weekend, so I urge all my fans to go watch it on ZEE5 Global starting 24th January.”
