Uunchai tracks the journey of three aged friends, Amit (Amitabh Bachchan), Javed (Boman Irani) and Om (Anupam Kher) who decide to embark on a trek to the Everest Base Camp to fulfil the wish of their late friend Bhupen (Danny Dengzongpa), whose heart belonged in the Himalayas. They are joined on the trek by Shabina (Neena Gupta) who is Javed’s wife, Mala (Sarika) who happens to be the long-lost love of Bhupen and Shraddha (Parineeti Chopra) who is their tour guide. A simple trek to the Everest Base Camp turns out to be a personal, emotional, and spiritual experience as they battle their physical limitations and discover freedom.

With an IMDB rating of 7.7, Uunchai received good reviews at the box office and immediately connected with the audiences not just for the storyline but also for the performances of the actors. With an emotionally driven script and powerful performances by all actors, the movie won the hearts of audiences of all ages. And now, with its World Digital Premiere on ZEE5 on 6th January, the film will be available to ZEE5 viewers across 190+ countries.

Director-Producer, Sooraj R Barjatya said, “Uunchai is a labour of 7 years of passion, hard work and above all, love and after a successful run at the box office, it will now stream on ZEE5 from 6th January, so I appeal to all our fans to start the new year with this film which is a heartfelt ode to friendship.
