After the success of Court, the lead pair Harsh Roshan and Sridevi Apalla reunite for the film Band Melam. Produced and written by Kona Venkat, the film was released on March 26. Directed by debutant Sathish Javvaji, the film is now set for its digital premiere. Telugu ZEE5 will stream the heartfelt romantic drama Band Melam from April 24.

Set against a picturesque rural backdrop, Band Melam follows the journey of Giri (Harsh Roshan) and Raaji (Sridevi Apalla), childhood friends whose bond gradually blossoms into love. The story unfolds within the vibrant world of a local musical band, blending themes of music, culture, tradition, and the challenges love faces in a changing social landscape.

With its rooted storytelling and emotional depth, Band Melam adds another meaningful title to ZEE5’s growing slate of Telugu content that celebrates authentic voices and regional narratives.

“Band Melam is a simple yet powerful love story that feels very real. Giri’s journey is deeply emotional and rooted in rural life. I’m glad the film is reaching audiences through ZEE5, where stories like this find a wider platform,” said Harsh Roshan.

Speaking about her role, Sridevi Apalla said, “Raaji is a character full of warmth, innocence, and strength. The story reflects emotions that many people will relate to.”

Band Melam streaming from April 24 on ZEE5.
