Pooja Meri Jaan: A Film Shot in 2022 Finally Arrives, and It’s Not Holding Back. Some films take years to find their moment. Pooja Meri Jaan, starring Huma Qureshi and Mrunal Thakur, waited nearly four years — and it’s finally set to premiere, carrying an A-certificate and a story built entirely around uncomfortable truths.

When and Where to Watch

Pooja Meri Jaan premieres on ZEE5 on October 2, 2026, trade analyst Taran Adarsh announced, with the tagline “Before the verdict comes the truth… and before the truth comes a story no one saw coming.”

A Story Delayed, Not Diminished

Directed by Navjot Gulati and co-directed by Vipasha Arvind, the crime thriller was originally shot back in 2022 under Maddock Films, produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik. Filming wrapped that same year, but the film remained unreleased for nearly four years after its original streaming plans fell through. ZEE5 finally picked it up as part of its 2026 slate, giving the long-shelved project new life.

What’s It About?

The film follows Pooja (Mrunal Thakur), whose life spirals after she rejects a close friend’s romantic advances. Huma Qureshi plays Sana, a lawyer investigating the claims surrounding Pooja, as the narrative explores stalking, obsession, rejection, and the consequences of toxic relationships — all wrapped in a courtroom drama structure that resists easy resolution.

Why This Release Matters

Notably, this marks Mrunal Thakur’s second “adult” certified film after Love Sonia, signaling a deliberate shift toward darker, more mature storytelling. With Huma Qureshi’s reliable dramatic range, Pooja Meri Jaan looks poised to spark genuine conversation about consent and competing versions of truth.
