The Bengali romantic thriller series Paashbalish, starring Ishaa Saha, Sourav Das, and Suhatro Mukherjee, and helmed by Korok Murmu, is set to stream on ZEE5 from May 10.

Produced by Mahabahu Motion Pictures, Paashbalish is a blend of love, passion and revenge. The story follows the journey of Babla and Mampi, childhood friends who were separated in Bangladesh. It’s a journey where intertwined destinies collide in unexpected and dramatic ways.

Director Korok Murmu said: “Paashbalish has been a labour of love, intricately weaving together the timeless essence of romance, suspense, and raw emotion to craft a story that remains untold in its depth and intrigue.

Ishaa Saha, who plays Anchal, reflected on her journey. “Bringing Anchal’s character to life has been amazing. I resonate deeply with her multifaceted persona, characterised by daring, sensitivity, and an independent spirit. Anchal’s unwavering support and love are with Mahadev, who has become her father figure. A journalism topper from Calcutta University, she has returned to her native town to work for her community. I am thrilled for viewers to witness Anchal’s inspiring journey unfold on ZEE5, where her story of courage and commitment to her beliefs will provoke thought and resonate deeply with the audience,” she said.

I am honoured to be a part of this narrative that transcends borders and delves deep into the intricacies of the human experience.”

Sourav Das embodies the character of Swadesh. “He is blinded by cause, revengeful, and multifaceted. As the leader of the Paharbongshi clan, he spearheads the revolution, believing that the end justifies the means. I enjoy playing such interesting and multilayered characters,” he said.
