When a strange thief, a headless corpse, and a brutal murder land on his desk in quick succession, Bidhan and his team are drawn into a dark maze of clues that refuse to line up. With each revelation more unsettling than the last, Bibhishon keeps you wondering: is the real danger outside… or much closer than anyone imagined?
Something sinister is stirring in the quiet lanes of Bolagarh in Birbhum District where an eerie theft, a missing person, and a chilling murder rattle the foundations of a sleepy police station. Soham Majumdar takes on the role of cop Bidhan Sen, supported by Debchandrima Singha Roy in other prominent roles. Produced by Raja Chanda Films, Bibhishon promises to be an intense ride. A ZEE5 Spokesperson stated, “At ZEE5, India’s largest home-grown streaming platform, we’re committed to championing rooted stories that speak every Indian language.

Our recent Bengali originals have found enthusiastic audiences across the country, and we’re thrilled to keep expanding that library with titles that marry local flavor and universal intrigue. We can’t wait for viewers everywhere to dive into this twist-laden mystery when it premieres on June 27th.”
Director Raja Chanda commented, “Directing Bibhishon has been an incredibly exciting journey—from the first draft to the final frame. It’s a story that starts off quiet but slowly pulls you into a world where every character has something to hide. Working with ZEE5 on this project has been a fantastic experience—their belief in regional stories and fresh storytelling really helped us bring this thriller to life in the way it deserved. The entire cast, especially Soham and Debchandrima, have delivered such depth and honesty in their performances, which is truly commendable. While the trailer gives a glimpse of the suspense, there’s so much more waiting for the audience—unexpected twists, emotional moments, and a storyline that keeps you thinking. We can’t wait for Bibhishon to premiere on ZEE5 and for viewers everywhere to be a part of this gripping ride.” Bibhishon premieres 27th June, only on ZEE5.
