‘Pooja Meri Jaan’ Trailer: Mrunal Thakur Faces Obsession, Rejection and Blame in Zee5’s Gripping Thriller

Zee5 has unveiled the official trailer for Pooja Meri Jaan, an intense psychological thriller starring Mrunal Thakur, Huma Qureshi, Vikram Singh Chauhan and Vijay Raaz. Promising a dark story of obsession, rejection, stalking and societal judgement, the film is set to premiere on October 2, 2026, exclusively on Zee5. The trailer raises a troubling question at its core: when love turns fatal, who really carries the blame?

Mrunal Thakur plays Pooja, a young woman whose life takes a disturbing turn when she becomes the target of an obsessive admirer. What begins with unwanted attention eventually spirals into a much darker situation, leaving Pooja caught in the middle of a tragedy. The trailer suggests that instead of simply being seen as a victim, Pooja finds herself under scrutiny, with people around her seemingly ready to question her choices and hold her responsible for what happened.

The story takes an intriguing courtroom-drama angle as the consequences of the tragedy unfold. Huma Qureshi plays Pooja’s lawyer friend, becoming an important part of her fight to confront the accusations surrounding her. The dynamic between the two characters adds another layer to the thriller, as Pooja attempts to navigate not only the fallout from an obsessive relationship but also the judgement of the society around her.

Directed by Navjot Gulati and co-directed by Vipasha Arvind, Pooja Meri Jaan explores themes that are increasingly relevant in conversations around stalking, toxic relationships and consent. The film appears to examine how rejection can be dangerously misinterpreted and how women can become the subject of public blame even when they are themselves caught in traumatic circumstances. The presence of mystery and courtroom proceedings gives the story an additional investigative edge.

The film is produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik under the banner of Maddock Films. Alongside Mrunal Thakur and Huma Qureshi, the cast features Vikram Singh Chauhan and Vijay Raaz in key roles. The project has had a long journey before reaching audiences, having been completed in 2022 and originally planned for a different digital release. After a prolonged wait, the film is now heading directly to streaming on Zee5.

The trailer's central question — “A rejection. A tragedy. A woman everyone's ready to convict. And when love turns fatal, who really carries the blame?” — sets the tone for what appears to be a tense and emotionally challenging watch. With Mrunal Thakur at the centre of a story involving obsession, social judgement and a fight for justice, Pooja Meri Jaan could offer a layered take on the darker side of relationships. The film premieres on October 2, 2026, only on Zee5.
