    Zee5’s ‘Tehran’ races to 100 million minutes in record-breaking debut

    MUMBAI: The John Abraham-starrer became the fastest Hindi film of 2025 to cross the 100 million streaming minutes mark on Zee5 and it did so in just 72 hours of its Independence Day weekend premiere. By the end of its launch week, the geo-political thriller had clocked up a staggering 200 million minutes, securing its place as the platform’s most-watched Hindi release of the year.

    The film didn’t just win over Indian audiences. Streaming across 190 plus countries, Tehran broke into Zee5’s global Top 5 for 2025, trending in the US, UK, MENA and APAC proof that its tense narrative struck a chord with the diaspora.

    A slick marketing blitz only added to the spectacle. From a visual projection on Mumbai’s Bandra-Worli Sea Link to hoardings across UP, MP and Mumbai, Tehran was unmissable. The promotions even included Zee5’s first-ever exclusive screening at the Sushma Swaraj Institute of Foreign Service in Delhi, capped with a candid Q&A session with John Abraham himself.

    Zee5 business head (Hindi), Kaveri Das, credited the success to the film’s “intelligent narrative” and said the response reflects the appetite for “stories that entertain while sparking conversations.”

    Meanwhile, Abraham called the audience’s love “truly overwhelming” and said the film reinforced his belief in pushing boundaries and said, “Geo-political thrillers are a genre I truly believe in, and this proves viewers want stories that go beyond entertainment, bold films that stay with you long after the credits roll.”

    Directed by Dinesh Vijan, the thriller stars John Abraham, Neeru Bajwa, Manushi Chhillar and Madhurima Tuli, and is set against the backdrop of the 2012 magnetic bomb blast near the Israeli Embassy in Delhi. With its blockbuster premiere, Tehran has firmly joined the ranks of Zee5’s most successful titles, reaffirming the streamer’s grip on premium homegrown content.

    Bassi, banter and a bronze: BBH India scores at Cannes Lions 2025

    CANNES: BBH India has scrubbed up a shiny Bronze Lion at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2025, bagging the metal in the Social & Creator Lions – Use of Humour category for its cheeky campaign: Bassi vs Garnier Men Facewash.

    Crafted for Garnier (L’Oréal India), the campaign took a tongue-in-cheek jab at scepticism itself—by turning comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi, once a mocker of facewash ads, into the star of one. The story escalated with over 100 Indian comedians rallying in support, including Harsh Gujral, before climaxing in a headline-stealing visual: John Abraham, Garnier’s brand ambassador, literally washing Bassi’s face on screen in a TVC.

    Rooted in Bassi’s own stand-up routines about men’s skincare, the film played up “cooling, freshness and comic timing” in equal measure—making it both a cultural moment and a marketing masterstroke. Social chatter soon snowballed into broadcast-level attention.

    “Bassi Vs Men’s Face Wash is an iconic campaign. One that started on social and ended up on broadcast,” BBH India chief creative officer Parikshit Bhattaccharya. “With all the attention the work has already garnered for the brand, a Cannes Lions metal is a great cherry on top. We couldn’t be happier for the teams at BBH and Garnier.”

    Witty, well-timed, and wildly shareable—BBH India’s latest proves that when humour meets hustle, global glory follows.
