New Delhi, Mar 2 (.) The much-anticipated trailer of ‘Jab Khuli Kitaab’, starring Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia has been released by ZEE5, offers audiences a heartfelt, humorous, and deeply honest look at the complexities of mature love.

Written and directed by Saurabh Shukla, the film explores the emotional journey of a five-decade-long marriage that is upended when a long-buried truth comes to light.

The trailer gives viewers a glimpse into the quiet, familiar world of Gopal (Kapur) and Anusuya (Kapadia), a couple bound by years of shared routines, memories, and silent understanding.

Their peaceful life is disrupted when Anusuya reveals a secret, forcing Gopal to confront heartbreak and ultimately pursue divorce. Their path leads them to a young lawyer, played by Aparshakti Khurana, sparking conversations that unravel decades of unspoken emotions and lingering affection.

Speaking about his character, Kapur said, “What makes Jab Khuli Kitaab truly special is Saurabh Shukla’s vision. It’s rare to find a filmmaker who chooses to shine a spotlight on older, mature love, and to do it with such honesty, humour, and tenderness. Saurabh has crafted a narrative that is not only refreshing but deeply real. He reminds us that love doesn’t fade with age; it evolves, it complicates, it bruises, and it heals.”

Dimple Kapadia added, “The film truly felt like a project where all my boxes were ticked, a beautiful story, the opportunity to work with Pankaj Kapur, and to be directed by Saurabh ji, all while basking in the beauty and divine energy of the mountains. Anusuya is written with such depth and honesty that it was a joy to explore her many shades. What drew me to her is the simplicity of intention, she isn’t trying to break her marriage; she’s trying to be honest within it.”

Blending humour and heartache, ‘Jab Khuli Kitaab’ promises a sensitive and moving portrayal of late-life love and the courage it takes to begin anew. The film will premiere on ZEE5 on March 6.
