A village caught between guns. Women pushed beyond silence. An officer trapped inside a corrupt system. A courtroom ruled by prejudice. An education system divided by money.
These Social and Political Dramas on Zee 5 confront the structures that decide who receives justice and who gets ignored. Chakravyuh, 200 Halla Ho, Republic, Nerkonda Paarvai and Jaihind 2 ask difficult questions without offering comfortable answers.
1. Chakravyuh Enters a Conflict Where Every Side Claims Justice
The mission has a clear target, but the truth refuses to stay on one side.
Chakravyuh follows police officer Adil Khan as he confronts a Maoist movement operating in a conflict-ridden region. His friend Kabir agrees to infiltrate the group, bringing him closer to the poverty, exploitation and anger fuelling the uprising.
Arjun Rampal and Abhay Deol lead the Hindi action thriller alongside Manoj Bajpayee and Esha Gupta. Director Prakash Jha examines how political neglect and armed resistance can trap individuals between loyalty and conscience.
Step into this 2012 political thriller on Zee 5 and see how one infiltration allows Chakravyuh to examine conflict from both sides of the divide.
2. 200 Halla Ho Gives Silenced Women a Collective Voice
What happens when years of fear finally turn into public resistance?
200 Halla Ho follows women from a Dalit community who become involved in a sensational courtroom case. As the investigation begins, more profound questions emerge about caste discrimination, gender violence and a system that repeatedly failed to protect them.
Rinku Rajguru, Amol Palekar, Barun Sobti, Sahil Khattar and Indraneil Sengupta lead this Hindi crime thriller. The film draws inspiration from a real incident and focuses on the anger created when power protects an accused man while his victims remain unheard.

3. Republic Places an Honest Officer Inside a Corrupt System
An IAS position brings authority. But can one officer use it when every institution has already been compromised?
Republic centres on Panja Abhiram, an IAS officer who is determined to confront political influence and administrative corruption. His work connects him to a polluted lake, vulnerable communities, and a powerful political network that protects its interests.
Sai Dharam Tej leads the film alongside Aishwarya Rajesh, Ramya Krishnan and Jagapathi Babu. Director Deva Katta presents corruption as a system sustained by politics, bureaucracy and public dependence rather than the actions of one individual.
Enter the machinery of power with Republic on Zee 5. Available in Telugu and Hindi, this 2021 drama uses a threatened freshwater lake to show how political decisions can reshape entire communities.
4. Nerkonda Paarvai Puts Society’s Biases on Trial
A woman says no. Why does society still demand an explanation?
Nerkonda Paarvai follows three women facing harassment and a false legal case after a night out. Retired lawyer Bharath Subramaniam agrees to defend them, turning the courtroom into a confrontation with assumptions about women, consent and personal freedom.
Ajith Kumar leads the Tamil crime drama alongside Shraddha Srinath, Abhirami Venkatachalam and Andrea Tariang. The film challenges the idea that a woman’s clothing, lifestyle or friendships can be used to question her right to refuse consent.
Take your seat in the courtroom on Zee 5 and see why this 2019 Tamil adaptation of Pink makes a simple “no” the most important argument in the case.
5. Jaihind 2 Questions an Education System Divided by Money
Education promises equal opportunity. Reality often attaches a price to it.
Jaihind 2 follows Abhimanyu, a computer engineer and martial artist, who is disturbed by how private institutions prioritise profit over access to education. His concern pushes him towards a larger fight for children denied opportunities because their families cannot afford them.
Arjun Sarja writes, directs and leads this Tamil action drama alongside Surveen Chawla, Shruti Reddy and Simran Kapoor. The film connects education with dignity, social mobility and the responsibility of institutions towards every child.
Join Abhimanyu’s campaign on Zee 5 and discover how this 2014 movie turns the right to free and compulsory education into the driving force behind its action.
