Detective Sherdil OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Diljit Dosanjh and Diana Penty's wholesome film
Detective Sherdil OTT Release Date: If there's one thing Diljit Dosanjh knows how to do, it's keeping audiences entertained. Be it with music, comedy, or drama, he has a knack for delivering performances that connect with viewers of all ages. And now, he's back in a brand-new avatar, playing a quirky detective in the upcoming film Detective Sherdil, which premieres on ZEE5 starting 20th June 2025.
What's the buzz about?
More than just a whodunit, Detective Sherdil blends mystery with humour and brings a fresh twist to the detective genre. Think less 'dark and gritty crime drama,' and more 'fun, witty, and full of unexpected turns' - all wrapped up in a family-friendly package. Detective Sherdil has been shot in the scenic lanes of Budapest, and while the setting may be international, the flavour is purely desi.
The plot (without spoilers)
At the heart of the film is Sherdil, played by Diljit, a detective like no other, not brooding or broody, but sharp, stylish, and always two steps ahead. He's handed a case that's anything but simple. As he dives into it, the story twists and turns, introducing a whole host of eccentric characters, clever red herrings, and LOL moments. What sets this film apart is how it doesn't take itself too seriously.
Meet the team behind Detective Sherdil
Detective Sherdil is directed by Ravi Chhabriya, marking his directorial debut. He's previously assisted Ali Abbas Zafar on big-ticket projects like Sultan, Bharat, and Tiger Zinda Hai. Ali not only returns as producer but also co-writes the film along with Sagar Bajaj and Ravi. This is Zafar's second project with Diljit after Jogi, and the chemistry between director and star seems stronger than ever.
The movie is produced by AAZ Films, Offside Entertainment, and Maurya Entertainment, with production support from Himanshu Mehra, Rohini Singh, and Manmeet Singh. Besides Diljit, the cast includes a brilliant mix of seasoned and fresh talent, including Diana Penty, Boman Irani, Chunky Panday, Ratna Pathak Shah, Banita Sandhu and Sumeet Vyas, among others.

Detective Sherdil review: Who killed the billionaire in this wannabe Knives Out feat. Diljit Dosanjh? Not suspense, that
Detective Sherdil movie review Director: Ravi Chhabriya Cast: Diljit Dosanjh, Diana Penty, Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah, Chunky Panday, and Banita Sandhu Star Rating: ★★.5 The bigger mystery than the one explored in Detective Sherdil is why the lead star hasn't promoted the film. There isn't a post on Diljit Dosanjh's Instagram profile in recent times about it, but posts galore about his next theatrical release, Sardaarji 3. Detective Sherdil movie review: Diljit Dosanjh plays the titular investigator in the film. Anyway, coming back to Detective Sherdil, it's a story revolving around a detective who gets involved in a case involving a billionaire's (Boman Irani) murder in broad daylight. Suspects are his family, comprising a wife, brother-in-law, daughter and many more. Detective Sherdil appears to be more intelligent than it really is. A multitude of characters form the cast- Banita Sandhu as Pankaj Bhatti's daughter Shanti, Diana Penty as Natasha, Chunky Panday as Bodhi Mama, Sumeet Vyas and more give it a proper Knives Out setting, and that's also my pet peeve with a host of thriller films- they all inevitably end up looking and feeling the same. Housefull 5- a group of people are investigated for a billionaire's murder aboard a cruise, Vidya Balan's Neeyat in 2023, which was again about- you guessed it right- a billionaire's murder. So then, the only real innovation can happen in the big reveal. The performances Diljit's Detective Sherdil spouts one-liners, comes close to breaking the fourth wall, but there is nothing concrete, really, that he comes up with. If anything, he's an average detective. He comes up with an analysis of what could have happened at the crime scene and with the different suspects, but none of it is convincing enough. And the done-to-death storyline doesn't help either. Sagar Bajaj, Ravi Zafar and Ali Abbas Zafar have been credited for the writing. The runtime is under two hours, so thankfully, it doesn't get stretched. But the plot development is linear, with a lack of shocking twists. Diljit's cool dude energy comes off a bit pretentious at times. Diana, as a no-nonsense detective working with Sherdil, is passable. Boman Irani, as the patriarch, infuses some life into this film. Ratna Pathak Shah, as his cunning wife, is also good. The rest of the cast does their job. Chunky, as Boman's mysterious brother-in-law, makes his presence felt. Overall, Detective Sherdil is a glossy but underwhelming murder mystery that tries to wear a smart hat but forgets to fill it with real wit or suspense.
