Mumbai: “Rocket Gang”, directed by Bosco Leslie Martis, is set to start streaming globally on ZEE5 from December 30, the platform announced Wednesday.

The musical supernatural comedy, which marks popular choreographer Martis' directorial debut, opened to mixed reviews upon its November 11 release.
