Chintu Ka Birthday

ZEE5 hosted India’s first-ever Twitter watch party which is #ChintuKaBirthdayWatchParty.

ZEE5 is the first-ever in India to have done such an engagement centric activity in association with Twitter for Chintu Ka Birthday. With uncertainty about the future and concern for public health, many of us are staying inside. But social distancing doesn’t have to mean total isolation. People are turning to platforms like Twitter to stay connected.

Chintu Ka Birthday was premiered last year across India and also had special screenings across several cities. The ZEE5 Original film 'Chintu Ka Birthday' starring Vinay Pathak, Tillotama Shome, Seema Pahwa and Vedant Chibber is now streaming online.

The film is set in war-torn Iraq in 2004. The Tiwari family is trying to celebrate the sixth birthday of Chintu (Vedant Raj Chibber), but obstacles keep coming in the way. Will Chintu get the celebration he so deserves?
