The biggest home video streaming service in India, ZEE5, announced the release of the immensely popular Bengali movie Prajapati, starring Mithun Chakraborty and Dev. The family drama, which is the third-highest grossing Indian Bengali movie ever, will get its global internet premiere on ZEE5 on April 14 following a spectacular box office run.
Together with Mamta Shankar, Sweta Bhattacharya, Kharaj Mukherjee, Ambareesh Bhattacharya, Biswanath Basu, Koninika Banerjee, and Kaushani Mukherjee, the film is produced by Bengal Talkies and Dev Entertainment Ventures and is directed by Avijit Sen. Prajapati has already generated a lot of buzz with an IMDB rating of 8.2 and rave reviews.
The story centres on retired man Gaur Chakraborty (Mithun Chakraborty), who lives with his son Joy, a wedding planner (Dev). The centre of Gaur’s universe is his son, who is unable to provide the same benefits because of his commitment to work. The father encourages his son to marry, but Joy is reluctant because she worries that the union might separate her from her father. Nevertheless, when Gaur’s college mate Kusum (Mamta Shankar) enters his life, the dynamics between father and son shift. Gaur’s dreams of finding a soul mate are rekindled after meeting Kusum, and the series of events that follow upend the Chakraborty home.
After a 4-year absence, Mithun Chakraborty is back in Bengali cinema with this movie. Also, it represents the iconic screen pairing of Mithun Chakraborty and Mamta Shankar for Mrinal Sen’s 1976 National Award-winning film Mrigaya. Prajapati is a lovely family film that explores a father and son’s complicated connection. In the guise of comedy, Aur Betaa challenges social norms and stirs the soul.

“At ZEE5, we believe in engaging with the best directors, performers, and storytellers who share our vision to deliver accessible and exciting stories,” stated Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer of ZEE5 India. One such touching tale about the bittersweet bond between a father and son, played by superstars Mithun Chakraborty and Dev, is Prajapati. The riveting family drama is the third highest-grossing Indian Bengali movie thanks to its outstanding box office performance. With its recent global digital premiere on ZEE5, we are confident that it will thrill our viewers, cause them to laugh and cry, and touch their hearts.
“I have always believed in crafting stories from my views and experiences,” stated director Avijit Sen. As a result, Prajapati won over the hearts of numerous viewers and did exceptionally well at the box office. We are happy that it has the greatest box office takings of any Bengali movie released up to this point in 2022–2023, coming in at 1 crore each day. Now ready to make its ZEE5 debut on the joyous occasion of Bengali New Year. Also, I’m hoping that viewers who haven’t watched it yet will be inspired to do so since this movie will astonish them with its extremely compelling and adoring tale that is applicable to human emotions and a societal criticism. Also, it is a must-see for Mithun Chakraborty and Mamta Shankar’s 46-year reunion as well as the endearing father-son relationship between Mithun Chakraborty and Dev.
None of us anticipated this kind of reaction to the movie, according to actor Dev. We are grateful to the audience for supporting Prajapati and helping it become a huge commercial success. It absolutely deserves a shot if you haven’t seen it yet, so I’m hopeful they’ll continue to support us with their digital run as well.
