In the mystical landscapes of Kumaon and Garhwal Mandal, a tale of intrigue, courage, and ancient secrets unfolds in an upcoming film ‘Gadera’, which is set to drop on Zee5 on May 10.

Directed by Yogesh Vats, the film promises to take audiences on a gripping journey through the heart of British colonial India, a media statement from the makers of ‘Gadera’ said yesterday.

Set against the backdrop of the Himalayas in 1912, the film delves into the clash between imperial ambition and indigenous resilience. The narrative revolves around Major Edward, played by Edward Christle, a stoic figure dispatched by the British company to oversee deforestation efforts.

However, the tranquility of the forest is disrupted as tensions escalate between the British soldiers and the Kumaoni and Garhwali people.

The film intricately weaves together folklore, mystery and guerrilla warfare, as villagers fiercely defend their land against the encroaching forces. What follows is the uncovering of the truth behind the mysteries of Gadera.

With good performances by Shrish Dobhal, Rajesh Arya, Anil Ghildiyal, and Dev Singh Gariya, ‘Gadera’ promises to captivate audiences with its tale of courage, sacrifice, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Produced by Siddharth Rajkumar and Yogesh Vats, Shantanu and Shourya Kashyap serve as executive producers.
