Following a successful theatrical run, where it earned over 20 crores globally and more than 8 crores in India, ‘Nunakkhuzhi’ is all set to entertain audiences worldwide with its hilarious and heartwarming storyline.
Directed by the famous Jeethu Joseph, ‘Nunakkhuzhi’ stars the dynamic duo Basil Joseph and Grace Antony, who deliver a rollercoaster of laughter through their comedic performances. The plot revolves around Eby (played by Basil Joseph), who is on a desperate mission to retrieve his seized laptop containing sensitive content from an unyielding income tax officer.

The response we got in theaters was incredible, and we can’t wait to spread this laughter to a global audience via ZEE5.”
