Time of India3 days ago
Ziam ending explained: Ziam, Netflix's latest Thai zombie thriller directed by Kulp Kaljareuk and starring Johnny Anfone, Nuttanicha Dungwattanawanich, and Mark Prin Suparat, delivers gripping action while exploring themes of love, loyalty, and the extremes people go to when survival is on the line. As the situation spirals out of control at Prachamit Hospital, the male lead must confront not just the undead, but also an impossible moral choice.
(Spoilers ahead, you know what to do)
What is Ziam about?
Ziam unfolds in a world devastated by global warming and a deadly bacterial outbreak. At its heart is Singh, a former Muay Thai fighter now working as a truck driver, who finds himself in a brutal battle for survival. When his girlfriend Rin, a doctor, becomes trapped inside a zombie-overrun hospital in Bangkok, Singh risks everything to save her.
Ziam ending explained
After being shot, Singh is rescued by Rin and quickly returns to battle as zombies - including infected soldiers - launch another attack. As the military's bomb countdown ticks down, Singh sets off the hospital's sprinkler system, unintentionally reviving dormant zombies. Amid the chaos and the deaths of Vasu and his wife, Singh urges Rin and Buddy to flee. He fights off the horde in the parking lot and survives, while they reach the rooftop and beg the rescue team to wait.
Singh arrives just as the helicopter doors close. In a final act of sacrifice, he holds the rooftop door shut to block the zombies, giving Rin and Buddy time to escape as the hospital explodes with Singh still inside.
However, a mid-credits scene reveals that Singh survived. Hidden inside a protective container, he crushes a zombie and emerges alive. His quick thinking and survival instincts, honed as a Muay Thai fighter, helped him endure the blast and the undead. Driven by love and sheer will, Singh proves himself an unstoppable force - even in the face of death.

Do Rin and Singh reunite?
A key subplot in Ziam is Rin's dream of starting a peaceful life with Singh in Chiang Dao -

Thailand. Singh often envisions her in a white dress, symbolizing their future together. During a quiet moment in the hospital, he apologizes for worrying her, gives her back her necklace, slips a ring on her finger, and promises they'll move to Chiang Dao once they escape.
After the explosion, Rin believes Singh is dead. In the final scenes, she's seen in Chiang Dao, wearing the white dress and clutching the ring - grieving yet seeking peace. When she turns at the sound of someone approaching, her expression subtly shifts to surprise.
Though it's not shown directly, the moment hints at Singh's return and the possibility that their shared dream has finally come true.
You can now stream Ziam on Netflix.

Charlize Theron calls out Hollywood for avoiding the ‘risk' of female-led action films

Charlize Theron , the Oscar-winning actress, has spoken against the gender gap that still exists in Hollywood, especially in the action genre. Despite her achievements in the genre, she criticized the industry for being reluctant to approve action movies with female leads. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Theron and fellow actress Uma Thurman openly discussed the challenges women face in action films while promoting their upcoming Netflix sequel, The Old Guard 2. During the conversation, Theron candidly talked about the difficulties women encounter when fighting for lead roles in action-packed blockbusters. Theron stated bluntly, "Yeah, it's harder. That's known. Action films with female leads don't get green-lit as much as the ones with male leads.' She underlined how, in spite of proof that female-led films can be both critically and commercially successful, the film industry continues to view male-driven action films as a safer investment. Additionally, Theron drew attention to the industry's double standards, which allow male actors to get away with box office failures more easily than female actors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo 'I think the thing that always frustrates me is the fact that guys will get a free ride,' she said further adding, 'If a guy does a movie that bombs, he'll get another chance. But a woman has to constantly prove herself.' Theron has previously addressed the issue of gender inequality in Hollywood. She has been a vocal supporter of equal representation throughout her career and has starred in popular action movies like The Old Guard, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Atomic Blonde. However, she did observe that systemic bias is still a major obstacle. Later this year, The Old Guard 2 will be available on Netflix. Theron hopes that the audience's continued support will encourage studios to take more risks with action movies starring women. 'We've proved it works,' she stated. 'Now it's time for the industry to catch up.'

Rian Johnson reveals future plans for more parts of the 'Knives Out' franchise, ahead of the third installment's release

Filmmaker Rian Johnson is talking about what the future holds for the Knives Out franchise, and it appears that Benoit Blanc fans will have more mysteries to ponder after the third installment. Johnson recently told Rolling Stone that he is excited to continue the murder mystery story and that the process continues to inspire him creatively. 'I feel great! Because I have genuinely taken a swing each time that I didn't think would work,' Johnson said. 'Ultimately, that's the thing you're trying to avoid. The second you feel like you know how to do this, that leads nowhere good.' Every Knives Out film is intended to be a novel and distinctive experience, Johnson underlined. 'With the movies, we can keep doing that,' he stated. 'I don't have something in my head right now. You kind of burn the ship into the sea each time and ask yourself, 'How will I make anything ever again?' But I would keep doing them as long as I can.' The franchise started with the critically and commercially successful films Knives Out in 2019 and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery in 2022. By the end of 2025, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, the third movie, will be available on Netflix. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal? How to get Internet without paying a subscription? Techno Mag Learn More Undo Regarding the new movie's tone, Johnson disclosed that Wake Up Dead Man will be very different from the previous one. 'It's incredibly different,' he remarked. 'It's much more a Gothic, much more grounded tone. It's more similar to the first one in that way. It kind of gets back to the real origins of the genre, which, predating [Agatha] Christie, go back to [Edgar Allan] Poe.' The future of Knives Out appears bright—and mysterious—with Daniel Craig returning to his role as detective Benoit Blanc and Johnson still full of new ideas.
