ZEE5 has built a reputation with several well-received shows and films in recent times, earning praise for its content range. Now the platform is stepping into controversial territory once again with its next docu-series, Kesariya@100.
After releases like The Kashmir Files and The Bengal Files, ZEE5 is backing another politically charged project. Kesariya@100 focuses on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s hundred-year journey, covering its formation, growth, and role in India’s political and social landscape.
Veteran actor Nitish Bharadwaj anchors the series and leads the audience through key moments from the organisation’s history. The trailer promises never-before-seen footage, expert voices, and a narrative that claims to explore lesser-known angles about the RSS.
Viewers now stand divided. Some see it as an effort to document history, while others view it as selective storytelling serving a larger agenda. Whether the series reveals facts or fuels debate, it has already achieved one thing — attention.
Kesariya@100 premieres on December 12 on ZEE5. The response will decide whether the show earns trust or only deepens the political divide surrounding its subject.
