Zombivili is the first ever zombie film in the realm of Marathi cinema and stars Lalit Prabhakar, Vaidehi Parshurami, Amey Wagh and Trupti Khamkar in lead roles. Produced by Yoodlee Film and helmed by Faster Fene director Aditya Sarpotdar, Zombivili combines humour and social commentary and was highly appreciated by critics and fans at the box office. It is now headed to ZEE5 for its digital premiere on 20th May.

The movie tells the story of Sudhir (played by Amey Wagh), a middle-class engineer who moves into an airy high-rise apartment in Dombivli with his pregnant wife Seema (played by Vaidehi Parashurami) in the hopes of a better life. However, early on, they realise that there’s an acute water shortage and soon after, there is a zombie outbreak in the nearby Janata Nagar slum. As the zombies multiply, the veneer of the privileged folk cracks and we see that the worst villains here aren’t the bloodthirsty undead but the deeply selfish and mercenary living.
