ZEE5 Global brings ‘Inspection Bungalow’, Kerala’s first horror-comedy series on OTT

November 11, 2025 by TVA Editor

ZEE5 Global is set to send chills down your spine with its upcoming Malayalam original web series, Inspection Bungalow, premiering on November 14. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Saiju S.S. and led by the versatile Sabarish Varma, this edge-of-the-seat paranormal comedy unfolds within a police station where a chain of eerie incidents blurs the line between reality and the supernatural.
Produced by Veena Nair under the banner of A Veena Nair Productions and written by Suneesh Varanaad, the series features standout performances by Aadhiya Prasad, Shaju Sreedhar, and Senthil Krishna. Blending mystery, horror, humor, and emotion, Inspection Bungalow promises a thrilling, unpredictable ride that will keep audiences hooked till the very end. Malayalam superstar Dileep has unveiled the trailer of Inspection Bungalow through his social media handles.
Inspection Bungalow unravels the story in village of Aravangad, where Sub-Inspector Vishnu (Sabarish Varma), a reluctant cop with a shadowed past, is assigned to shift his police station to an abandoned government property, one local’s call ‘Inspection Bungalow.’ What starts as a routine transfer spiral into a terrifying investigation involving unexplained deaths, ghostly apparitions, and a hidden truth buried for decades. As Vishnu is forced to confront his deepest fears, he partners with Mythili, a brilliant paranormal researcher, only to uncover secrets more sinister than the spirits themselves.
Director Saiju S.S said, “Inspection Bungalow isn’t just about fear, it’s about finding laughter and meaning in the middle of it. This series explores how the unseen often mirrors our own truths, and how humor sometimes becomes our only way to face darkness. Every frame is designed to make the viewer feel something deeper, whether it’s tension, amusement, or reflection. As Kerala’s first-ever horror-comedy web series, we wanted to break away from formulas and build an experience where fear and fun coexist naturally. ZEE5 Global gave us the freedom to shape that world exactly as we envisioned it.”
Sabeeresh Varma expressed, “Playing Vishnu was unlike any role I’ve done before. He’s a simple man caught between fear, absurdity, and the humor that life sometimes throws at us. That mix of emotion and dark comedy really challenged me as an actor. Inspection Bungalow isn’t a straight horror story, it’s layered with irony, emotion, and moments that make you laugh even when you least expect it. I’m thankful to Saiju sir and ZEE5 Global for giving me the space to explore that balance and be part of Kerala’s first horror-comedy web series.”
Malayalam and Tamil ZEE5 Business Head and South Sr VP Marketing, Lloyd C Xavier shared, “After the overwhelming response to Kammattam, we’re thrilled to continue delivering powerful Malayalam stories with Inspection Bungalow. This series blends mystery, fear, humor and emotion in a way that feels both grounded and gripping. It’s not just a paranormal thriller, it’s a story about courage, belief, and confronting one’s deepest fears. Saiju S.S. has created something truly atmospheric, and we believe Inspection Bungalow will be another strong addition to our Malayalam slate that connects with audiences across generations.”
