The global impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has been profound, leading to immense loss of lives and widespread disruption. It has been four years since the first lockdown, and many continue to grapple with the isolation it brought. Filmmaker Aarti S Bagdi has masterfully captured these memories and delved into the unexpected revelations and relationship tests that arose during that time in the upcoming ZEE5 movie, Chalti Rahe Zindagi.

The one-minute-forty-three-second trailer follows the life of Krishna Bhagata, a local bread supplier whose daily rounds connect three families in a bustling housing complex. As the pandemic tightens its grip, their intertwined lives unravel in three dramatic phases. The first phase reveals a clandestine affair between Arjun’s wife and Aru’s husband, laying bare long-held secrets. Next, we witness Krishna facing financial strain as Sushma, urged on by her ambitious TV journalist son Akash, demands repayment of a loan. The final phase takes us into the home of the Seths, where three generations of women – the elderly Leela, her daughter-in-law Naina, and teenage granddaughter Siya – grapple with simmering tensions and conflicting desires.
As the lockdown intensifies, each character faces a crucible that will test their resilience, relationships, and understanding of themselves. What to expect from the film?
