Marking Bhumi Satish Pednekkar’s return after her successful outing in The Royals, Daldal presents the actor in an avatar audiences haven’t seen before. Known for performance driven roles, Bhumi steps into far darker territory here, making this shift particularly intriguing.
What the show is about
Daldal centers on DCP Rita Ferreira, a cop driven by justice yet haunted by guilt and the demons of her past, as she is drawn into a chilling pursuit of a cold-blooded killer. The teaser plunges audiences into a world where violence and psychological dread doesn’t just shock, it lingers.
The atmospheric teaser reveals victims brutally murdered – wrists slashed; mouths grotesquely stuffed with raw pieces of meat, mobile phones, and other objects; each crime exposing a deeply twisted psyche. As the investigation deepens, Rita finds herself caught between the savagery of the case and her own inner turmoil, while also confronting biases within the force. Unflinching in its portrayal of brutality, the teaser makes it clear that this series is not for the faint-hearted.
What stands out is the complete absence of dialogue. The teaser lets visuals and atmosphere do the talking, creating a sense of unease that lingers long after it ends. Even in silence,
Intense, brooding, and unapologetically dark, Daldal promises to be a departure from the familiar. And with Bhumi Pednekar at the centre an actor consistently known for her performances expectations are high for what lies ahead.
