The streaming platform ZEE5 has announced its new original film on Monday, which has been titled as 200. The movie features Amol Palekar, Barun Sobti and Sairat star Rinki Rajguru in pivotal roles. Directed by Sarthak Dasgupta, the movie is backed by Yoodle Films, the production wing of Saregama. 

According to the makers, it is said that 200 will be talking about the oppression and injustice suffered by Dalit women. Actors Sahil Khattar, Saloni Batra, Indraneil Sengupta and Upendra Limaye are also part of the movie’s cast. 

Nimisha Pandey, Head, Hindi Originals at ZEE5, said that a powerful story like 200 deserved a platform like this, so as to reach a wider audience to make them aware of some of the harsh realities that exist. “We are happy to collaborate with Saregama and Yoodle Films. We hope that the film reaches as many people as possible, thus leading to interesting conversations,” she said in a statement.

Siddarth Anand Kumar, Vice President of Saregama, said that the movie touches upon a relevant issue which needs to be told. “We have always strived to make films which offer valuable messages to society. Inspired by true incidents, the film sheds light on the issues of casteism and delves into injustice and oppression meted out to the downtrodden,” he said. The film is expected to premiere on ZEE5 soon.
