Twists, Turns, and Truths: ‘Kaalidhar Laapata' Is the New Gem on ZEE5 2025 Movies
Twist 1: Abandonment Is Just the Beginning
Kaalidhar Laapata is one of the best 2025 movies on ZEE5 that brings up multi-layered characterisation, the road less travelled, and emotional unpredictability to the audience. The story initially appears to be emotional, and betrayal turns up the terrain of self-reclamation soon. Rather than just descending into the world of bitterness, Kaalidhar chooses to live life freely and that further initiates the different unexpected turns in the figure. Even the trailer of the movie perfectly hints at the story of an abandoned man and a smart and active child. Both of the characters look for hope while spending a beautiful time together.
Twist 2: Meet Ballu – The Catalyst of Chaos
Daivik Baghela, in the character of an 8-year-old orphan Ballu, appears to be quite curious, energetic and innocent. His chemistry with Kaalidhar shows the shades of buddy movies. It is a dynamic and refreshingly unpredictable movie where you can see the duo facing different challenges and heartfelt situations. The story brings up a dual transformation arc, and that appears as the most satisfying turn of the movie.
Twist 3: Memory, Identity & Redemption
Memory loss is the third and powerful twist that further takes the audience to beautiful and crowded Kumbh ghats and sun-baked villages. Kaalidhar Laapata is the beautiful story of Abhishek Bachchan, who appears to be drifting in and out of memories. The movie perfectly brings up flashbacks of the past life of Kaalidhar and also tells about the moments of disorientation that further build empathy and uncertainty in the movie. The movie perfectly shows the quiet internal battles of Kaalidhar, including identity crises.
Whether it is about a roadside dhaba or an empty field, every single object in the movie perfectly reflects the internal turmoil of Kaalidhar.

Vicky Kaushal celebrates 10 years of 'Masaan': 'So much to learn, so much to grow'
New Delhi, Vicky Kaushal on Thursday celebrated 10 years of "Masaan", the critically-acclaimed film by director Neeraj Ghaywan that marked the actor's debut in Hindi cinema. Vicky Kaushal celebrates 10 years of 'Masaan': 'So much to learn, so much to grow' The Varanasi-set drama, written by Varun Grover, became a critical success after it was released on July 24, 2015, with Kaushal receiving praise for his role as Deepak Kumar, a lower caste student who falls in love with his upper caste classmate. "It's been a decade! So much to learn, so much to grow... thank you for everything," the 37-year-old actor posted on Instagram alongside stills from the film. "Masaan', a colloquial word in Varanasi for cremation ground, had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival where it won two awards FIPRESCI award and the Promising Future prize in the Un Certain Regard section. The film weaved together two parallel stories that explore themes of love, loss, caste, guilt, and redemption. Since "Masaan", Kaushal has emerged as one of the top stars in Hindi cinema, receiving praise for his performances in films such as "Raman Raghav 2.0", "Raazi", "Sanju", "Uri: The Surgical Strike", "Sardar Udham" and most recently "Chhaava". In an interview with PTI ahead of the release of "Chhaava" in February, Kaushal said his journey in the industry so far has been nothing short of "surreal". 'Couldn't have imagined… It feels very surreal. It feels there is God who's blessing me and people's love has been so special. The kind of directors I got to work with in these ten years has been nothing short of a blessing. So, I truly feel supremely grateful,' Kaushal said. The actor, son of veteran stuntman Sham Kaushal, also revealed that during the shooting of "Masaan", they weren't even sure if the film would get a theatrical release. "We didn't know what's going to happen to the film. It was a small film made with very limited resources. It was a parallel cinema at that time. Now, the lines have blurred quite beautifully, but there was a clear demarcation between the two then. 'At that time, I was just trying to get opportunities to prove myself as an actor within the industry,' Kaushal said. Ghaywan, who recently returned to Cannes with his sophomore feature directorial "Homebound", shared behind-the-screen stills from the film. "10 years of 'Masaan'," he simply wrote. Grover wrote the story of "Masaan" as well as two songs, including "Tu Kisi Rail Si" and he posted a note on X to mark the film's 10th anniversary. "10 years to 'Masaan' today. A film that didn't succeed commercially and still permeated through the hearts of so many who interacted with it. Always grateful for the journey we took, the leap of faith we were allowed to make, and the love that keeps pouring in even after a decade. "Thanks to everyone on the crew - from every producer to actor to HOD to every lightman to the spotboys and camera attendants to the junior artistes - who gave it their all," he posted. Avinash Arun, the cinematographer of "Masaan" wrote on his Instagram Stories, "10 years of 'Masaan'. Thank you Neeraj and Varun for making us all part of this memorable experience." Also starring Richa Chadha, Shweta Tripathi, Sanjay Mishra and Pankaj Tripathi, the film was an Indo-French co-production, backed by Drishyam Films, Macassar Productions, Phantom Films, Sikhya Entertainment, Arte France Cinema and Pathe Productions.
