In an industry often dominated by high-octane thrillers and big-budget spectacles, KSM Film Productions is bringing something refreshingly heartfelt to the big screen this monsoon. Titled “5th September”, the multiple award winning film is a tribute to teachers, childhood memories, and the spirit of never giving up — set to release in cinemas nationwide on July 18, 2025.
Headlined by veteran actors Sanjay Mishra, Victor Banerjee, and Brijendra Kala, the film dives into the world of a quaint English-medium school where the annual Teachers’ Day football match becomes a battleground of pride, legacy, and redemption.
Veteran actor Sanjay Mishra, known for his masterful portrayals of the common man, plays a central role in the film. Reflecting on what drew him to the project, he says: “We remember heroes in stadiums and on screens — but we forget the ones who taught us how to walk, speak, and dream. 5th September is my salaam to those silent warriors in every classroom. Playing Mishraji wasn’t just acting — it felt like repaying a lifelong debt.”
