Detective Sherdil OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Diljit Dosanjh and Diana Penty's wholesome film
Detective Sherdil OTT Release Date: If there's one thing Diljit Dosanjh knows how to do, it's keeping audiences entertained. Be it with music, comedy, or drama, he has a knack for delivering performances that connect with viewers of all ages. And now, he's back in a brand-new avatar, playing a quirky detective in the upcoming film Detective Sherdil, which premieres on ZEE5 starting 20th June 2025. What's the buzz about? More than just a whodunit, Detective Sherdil blends mystery with humour and brings a fresh twist to the detective genre. Think less 'dark and gritty crime drama,' and more 'fun, witty, and full of unexpected turns' - all wrapped up in a family-friendly package. Detective Sherdil has been shot in the scenic lanes of Budapest, and while the setting may be international, the flavour is purely desi. The plot (without spoilers) At the heart of the film is Sherdil, played by Diljit, a detective like no other, not brooding or broody, but sharp, stylish, and always two steps ahead. He's handed a case that's anything but simple. As he dives into it, the story twists and turns, introducing a whole host of eccentric characters, clever red herrings, and LOL moments. What sets this film apart is how it doesn't take itself too seriously. Meet the team behind Detective Sherdil Detective Sherdil is directed by Ravi Chhabriya, marking his directorial debut. He's previously assisted Ali Abbas Zafar on big-ticket projects like Sultan, Bharat, and Tiger Zinda Hai. Ali not only returns as producer but also co-writes the film along with Sagar Bajaj and Ravi. This is Zafar's second project with Diljit after Jogi, and the chemistry between director and star seems stronger than ever. The movie is produced by AAZ Films, Offside Entertainment, and Maurya Entertainment, with production support from Himanshu Mehra, Rohini Singh, and Manmeet Singh. Besides Diljit, the cast includes a brilliant mix of seasoned and fresh talent, including Diana Penty, Boman Irani, Chunky Panday, Ratna Pathak Shah, Banita Sandhu and Sumeet Vyas, among others.
