A njan Dutt’s Seven is a suspense drama series. Produced and directed by Anjan Dutt, Seven stars Rahul Banerjee, Gaurav Chakrabarty, Ridhima Ghosh, Suprobhat Das, Ankita Chakraborty and Anjan Dutt in key roles. The unpredictable and intense thriller series is set to premiere on Zee5 on March 17.

Set against the backdrop of a mist-clad hill station, Seven is a suspense thriller which revolves around five friends — Subir (Rahul), Bibek (Gaurav Chakrabarty), Namita (Riddhima Ghosh), Ananta (Suprobhat Das) and Ria (Ankitaa Chakraborty) who discover a bag stacked with dollars and a gun within it, on a trip. With money becoming the talking point, the lines between right and wrong and good and bad become hazy, leading to an irreparable dent in their bond. As rifts surface amongst them, what seems like a jackpot turns out to be a curse. The series asks the question: Will their friendship survive the lure of money? Does money change or reveal one’s true colours?

Unfolding over seven episodes, this intense series unravels the dark web of life, mysterious secrets and complexities of human nature.

Manish Kalra, chief business officer, Zee5 India, said: “Our Bengali content is now making waves amongst the audience and Seven is yet another contemporary heist tale which will entertain the audience with its storyline and cinematic value. We are happy to bring Seven, a uniquely tailored narrative which navigates through different emotions. Exploring mystery and thrill at a grassroots level, the series addresses a significant message that there is no shortcut to earning wealth. As a consumer-first brand, we believe in collaborating with storytellers with unique and diverse narratives and with Seven, we are thrilled to collaborate with the makers who can deliver that for our viewers.”

Producer-director, Anjan Dutt said: “Seven is a story of a group of friends who discover a stash of dollars and a gun. It is a classic tale for today’s generation who can go to any lengths for money. This show even portrays the broader picture of friendship, betrayal, games, lies, human vices and more. It proves that grass is always greener on the other side. But as they say — who can get far in life without making their hands dirty? Thus, proving the catchphrase — Greed is the root of evil. Seven is a manifold lesson for youngsters. With a stellar star cast, we are sure that the audience will thoroughly enjoy the series. We are thankful to Zee5 for onboarding our project and taking it to 190-plus countries. We are eager for the audience to watch our series.”
