Blind Game

Blind Game, a Hindi suspense thriller starring Arjun Rampal and Priyamani, premieres on ZEE5 on 4 November 2026. It is streaming on the platform's free, ad-supported tier, Free 5, so viewers do not need a paid subscription to watch it.

The film was written and directed by the late Sangeeth Sivan, the filmmaker behind Malayalam hits such as Yoddha and Gandharvam and Hindi comedies including Kya Kool Hain Hum and Apna Sapna Money Money. Sivan died in May 2024, shortly after completing the film, and its release has been a long time coming.

Release date and where to watch

• Release date: 4 November 2026
• Platform: ZEE5 (Free 5, the free, ad-supported service)
• Language: Hindi
• Genre: Suspense / crime thriller

ZEE5 announced the film together with the supernatural series Hostel Hadsa: Bhoot Ya Bhram as part of an expanded Free 5 line-up. Hostel Hadsa premiered on 27 October, with Blind Game following on 4 November.

Storyline

Blind Game is a Hindi remake of the Malayalam thriller 7th Day. According to ZEE5's announcement, the story follows an IPS officer who is drawn into a series of suspicious events involving a group of friends and a missing sum of ₹5 crore. What first appears to be a straightforward case turns into a web of secrets, deception and unexpected revelations as his investigation goes deeper.

The premise keeps the core of the original: a police officer, a tight circle of friends and a trail of money that does not add up. Viewers who have seen 7th Day will recognise the set-up, though the Hindi version is built around its own cast.

Cast

ZEE5's announcement names the two leads:

• Arjun Rampal
• Priyamani

Television actor Rohit Chandel (Pandya Store) is also part of the cast, as reported by Mid-day and Times Now; the film is described as his Bollywood debut. Further supporting cast should be confirmed from the on-screen credits.

Director, writer and producers

• Writer and director: Sangeeth Sivan
• Producers: Deepak Mukut, Hunar Mukut, Kushagra Sharma and Shristi Sharma
• Banner: Soham Rockstar Entertainment

Producer Deepak Mukut told Mid-day in May 2024 that he and Sivan had watched the finished film together only days before the director's death. At the time the thriller, described as revolving around a cop on a mission, was being readied for release within months; it has reached audiences more than two years later.

Why it is worth a look

Blind Game puts Arjun Rampal at the centre of an investigative thriller and pairs him with Priyamani, who works across Hindi and South Indian cinema. It is also the final film of a director who moved comfortably between Malayalam and Hindi cinema across three decades. Because it sits on Free 5, it is one of the more accessible new Hindi releases this week.
