Meanwhile, owing to the rise of over-the-top, subscription-based media services, Zee Entertainment launched its video streaming service on February 14, 2018. ZEE5 would use this to stream all Zee Entertainment content, from films to shows.[27]

Zee Studios commenced the year 2018 by releasing the Marathi comedy-drama, Gulabjaam, which performed averagely in the cinemas and went on to stream on ZEE5. The company also produced Beyond the Clouds, which was the grown-up version of Majid Majidi's previously directed film, Children of Heaven (1997).[28]

The studio also produced Dhadak, Hindi-language remake of Sairat, which became a commercial hit, introducing two actors, Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor.[30] Then came Paltan, which received positive reviews from the families of the soldiers, but the audience and critics found the film's execution largely ineffective for a war film and an extremely long runtime.[31]

Two successes for Zee Studios came in the middle of the year: one from Veere Di Wedding, which emerged as the fifth-highest-grossing Hindi film of the year and the highest for a film featuring female leads.[32] The other was Raazi, which became the second commercially successful film with a female lead to join the ₹ 100 crore club in India.[33] At the 64th Filmfare Awards, Raazi received 15 nominations and won 5 awards, including Best Film, Best Director (Meghna Gulzar), and Best Actress (Alia Bhatt).

Zee Studios produced a wide range of films in 2019 performed well both nationally and internationally and became one of the highest-grossing women-centric films in India.[37] Kangana Ranaut's portrayal of Rani Lakshmi Bai in the film garnered critical acclaim, winning her the National Film Award for Best Actress at the 67th National Film Awards.[38] The film was selected for the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival and was screened at the Kashi Indian International Film Festival, Itanagar International Film Festival, and at the Indian Embassy in Lebanon under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav event.[39]

The company also produced the romantic comedy-drama, Kala Shah Kala in Punjabi.[40] It was well-received and rapidly rose to commercial success. It currently ranks as the 21st-highest-earning Punjabi movie. Kesari was another hit film produced and distributed internationally by the company.[41] The film has a National Award, won for the Best Male Playback Singer (B Praak) for the song "Teri Mitti".

Throughout the year, the studio produced films like Rampaat,[42] Pailwaan (Hindi dubbed), and Nerkonda Paarvai,[43] which performed commercially well. They also produced a film named, The Tashkent Files, a thriller about the death of former Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.[44] The film won two National awards, including Best Dialogues (Vivek Agnihotri) and Best Supporting Actress (Pallavi Joshi).

Another well-received film was Anubhav Sinha's directorial, Article 15, which was the opening film for the 10th edition of the London Indian Film Festival and has won 3 Filmfare Awards[45] - Best Film Critic (Anubhav Sinha), Best Actor Critic (Ayushmann Khurrana) and Best Story (Anubhav Sinha and Gaurav Solanki).[46] At the end of the year, the studio came out with the lighthearted comedy-drama Good Newwz which became the 5th highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2019.[47]

In 2020, Zee Studios released most of its films on OTT, due to the safety measures for the then-ongoing pandemic, COVID-19. It included movies like Hacked,[48] ,[49] Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari,[50] Khaali Peeli,[51] and Solo Brathuke So Better.[52]

2021–present

2021 was the year when Zee Studios decided to deliberately invest in more regional cinema. The company distributed one Telugu political drama, Republic,[53] and a Kannada-language crime thriller film Drishya 2,[54] which was a remake of the 2021 Malayalam film Drishyam 2 and was regarded as one of the important movies in its line-up that attracted family audiences. The company also produced three Punjabi-language films, namely Qismat 2,[55] Puaada,[56] and Fuffad Ji,[57] and all three were hit. Among the three films, Qismat 2 was a sleeper hit that became one of the 15 highest- grossing Punjabi films of all time. The year gave Zee Studios some good releases, including well-performing Thalaivii,[58] a film based on the life of Indian actress-politician J. Jayalalithaa and [59] and, Radhe,[60] starring Salman Khan. Later, it was released on ZEE5 and was one of the most-watched OTT films on the day of its release, with 4.2 million views. The company also produced Sanak, which was released digitally on 15 October 2021, on Disney+ Hotstar.

2022 was a very successful year for Zee Studios. The year began with The Kashmir Files, directed by Vivek Agnihotri, which became one of the most successful Hindi films of all time, and the 3rd highest-grossing Hindi film of 2022 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in India,[61] despite receiving mixed reviews. The film was also an official selection at the 53rd International Film Festival of India and was shortlisted for the prestigious Switzerland International Film Festival.[62] [63] Along with the recognitions at the film festivals, The Kashmir Files has also garnered many awards, including the Lions Gold Award for Extraordinary Performance of the Year (Darshan Kumaar) and the News18 REEL Movie Award[64] for Extraordinary Performance of the Year (Anupam Kher).[65] The Kashmir Files was re-released in 2023 in theatres on popular demand after a massive success in 2022.

In 2022, the company collaborated with Annapurna Studios to produce the Telugu-language supernatural action drama Bangarraju, directed by Kalyan Krishna.[66] It opened to mixed reviews, mostly positive, and was declared a success at the box office. The company also produced a Tamil language action thriller, Valimai, that crossed the 100-crore mark in the Indian market.[67] The studio also produced and distributed Rashtra Kavach Om, which was in theatres and then subsequently released on ZEE5.[68]

Raksha Bandhan, directed by Aanand L. Rai and starring Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar, received mixed reviews from critics but remained commercially unsuccessful.[69] On the other hand, Rocket Gang, produced by Zee Studios, was a poor performer, critically and commercially.[70] But Punjabi films like - Saunkan Saunkne,[71] Main Viyah Nahi Karona Tere Naal,[72] Ghund Kadh Le Ni Sohreyan Da Pind Aa Gaya, and Teri Meri Gal Ban Gayi[73] - distributed by the company performed quite well at the box office.

The first was the survival thriller Mili, a remake of the 2019 Malayalam-language film Helen, co-produced by Boney Kapoor. The film received mixed reviews from critics, although garnering praises for Janhvi Kapoor's performance.[79] And the other one was the horror thriller Blurr, starring Taapsee Pannu and Gulshan Devaiah, which was also Taapsee Pannu's first project as a producer.

Zee Studios also produced a Telugu movie, Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam[80] and a Kannada film titled Vedha[81] which was the last release of 2022 for us in the South.
