Diya was one of the more anticipated Arabic releases while it was on our radar. It's a tight 97-minute watch — easy to fit into a busy night. It releases on 26 Nov 2026; mark your calendar if it's on your list.
Should you spend 97 minutes on it?
97 minutes of Arabic drama with a mystery streak. Short enough to finish on a weeknight without losing the next morning.

Story
Dane, a driver for an NGO in N’Djamena (capital of Chad), has the misfortune to run over a schoolboy. His pregnant wife runs to his aid to pay the hospital bills, but it’s too late: the child succumbs to his injuries, and his family summons Dane’s. He will be subjected to the diya, the blood debt, the payment of an exorbitant sum he doesn’t have.
