MUMBAI: Prepare for goosebumps this Sunday evening as Zee Telugu will take you on a chilling journey with the world television premiere of the emotional thriller movie Penguin. Set in the sylvan surroundings of Kodaikanal, the film sketches the trauma of a mother and the lost son who is trying to fit in. The channel is all set to telecast the movie on 29 November at 5 pm only on Zee Telugu and Zee Telugu HD.
Rhythm (Keerthy Suresh), a pregnant woman, still carries the guilt of letting down her son, Ajay, who has been missing for six years. The incident has reshaped her life, destroying her marriage to Raghu (Linga), but also leading her to her present husband Gautham (Madhampatty Rangaraj). Everyone, including the cops, believes the boy to be dead, but Rhythm will not hear anything of it. On a whim, against the advice of the doctor, she goes to the lake where Ajay went missing, and by quirk of fate, she manages to find the boy (Advaith). The questions loom large: where was he and with whom? Rhythm sets out to find the masked man before he preys on another child.
Debutant director Eashvar Karthic sets up an interesting premise and traps the viewers into a journey of a character who is in deep sorrow, while Santhosh Narayan’s background score resonates with the mood of the film and adds that emotional quotient.
Watch the spine-tingling journey of Rhythm on 29 November at 5 pm only on Zee Telugu and Zee Telugu HD channels.
