Pookie premieres on ZEE5 on March 13, 2026. The film will be available to stream in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada on the platform. ZEE5 confirmed the digital premiere date officially, making it one of the platform’s Tamil originals for March 2026.
What Is Pookie About?
Pookie is a romantic comedy built around the confusion and contradictions of modern relationships. The story follows a couple stuck in an emotionally messy in-between — they want to separate, but neither can fully let go. The film captures the push and pull of a relationship that has run its course on paper but refuses to end in practice, leaning into the humour and heartbreak that comes with that very specific kind of romantic limbo.
Director Ganesh Chandra, making his feature debut, has framed Pookie as a fresh take on breakup comedies — less about the dramatic fallout and more about the awkward, affectionate middle ground where most real relationships quietly unravel. The film earned an IMDb rating of 7.3, suggesting a warm reception from early audiences who caught it theatrically.
