ZEE5 Global’s Berlin, directed by Atul Sabharwal, is yet another proof to Aparshakti Khurana’s ever-growing range as an actor. His portrayal of a teacher for the deaf and mute, who unexpectedly finds himself embroiled in a high-stakes national security interrogation, is nothing short of gripping. Khurana’s eyes do much of the talking, embodying the quiet turmoil of a man caught in a web of doubt and heartbreak as the film unfolds. It’s a role that allows him to display both calm composure and internal chaos, a combination that makes him a standout.

Rahul Bose returns after a long break, playing a strict government officer.
