Prince and Family: ZEE5 Brings Home the Chaos and Charm in Malayalam and Tamil

ZEE5 is set to deliver a heartwarming dose of laughter and nostalgia with ‘Prince and Family’, premiering exclusively on June 20 in Malayalam and Tamil. Marking superstar Dileep’s 150th film, this feel-good entertainer blends family drama, humour, and the quirks of modern-day relationships in a desi setting. Directed by debutant Binto Stephen and written by Sharis Mohammed, the film follows Prince Chakkalakkal (Dileep), a quiet bridal boutique owner whose life turns chaotic when he’s pushed into marrying the lively, social media-obsessed Chinju (Raniya Raanaa). What follows is a hilarious ride through clashing personalities, family chaos, and viral mishaps. With a stellar cast including Dhyan Sreenivasan, Siddique, Bindu Panicker, Johny Antony, Manju Pillai, and a special cameo by Urvashi, ‘Prince and Family’ is a delightful mix of comedy and emotion for all ages—and will premiere only on ZEE5 on June 20.

"‘Prince and Family’" tells the story of Prince Chakkalakkal, a middle-aged, single man who is the sole provider for his family. He feels hopeless and lonely, struggling to find a suitable life partner. An unexpected proposal from a matchmaking site disrupts his life and that of his loved ones, leading him to explore the possibility of finding love and happiness. 

ZEE5’s Business Head, Tamil & Malayalam and Sr. Vice President Marketing South Lloyd C Xavier said, “At ZEE5, we continue to champion stories that bring families together—emotionally and literally. ‘Prince and Family’ is a beautiful celebration of relationships in the digital age. With Dileep leading this heartfelt comedy, we’re proud to bring such a significant film to our viewers across the globe. We believe this movie will deeply resonate with audiences who crave stories that are rooted, warm, and fun.”

Director Binto Stephen shared, “Being my debut, ‘Prince and Family’ is extremely close to my heart. It’s a light-hearted take on a very real clash of values between old-school and digital-first mindsets. I’m grateful to Magic Frames, Dileep sir, and our cast for trusting me with this story. ZEE5 is the perfect platform to take our film to every home, and I hope audiences enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.”

Actor Dileep added, “‘Prince and Family’ is a special film for me—not just because it’s my 150th, but because it’s a story that reflects the changing dynamics of love and family in today's world. Working with such a vibrant team and playing a character like Prince was refreshing. I’m happy that it’s now streaming on ZEE5, so audiences everywhere can enjoy this celebration of relationships, laughter, and life.”
