If you missed Assi in theatres, here’s some good news. The hard-hitting courtroom drama starring Taapsee Pannu is expected to stream on ZEE5 around mid-April 2026, with April 17 being the most talked-about tentative date. Directed by Anubhav Sinha, the film follows a brutal gang-rape case and the tough fight for justice in a flawed system. Taapsee plays a determined lawyer, while Kani Kusruti delivers a powerful performance as the survivor. The strong supporting cast includes Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Kumud Mishra, Revathi and others. The movie, which released in theatres on February 20, 2026, received positive reviews for its bold take on sexual violence and institutional failures, though it didn’t do well at the box office. It’s the kind of intense, thought-provoking film that sparks important conversations. Once it drops on ZEE5, it’ll be a must-watch for those who prefer meaningful cinema over regular masala entertainers. Keep an eye on official announcements from the makers or ZEE5 for the exact date.
