Prime Video has announced January 30 as the worldwide premiere date of its Hindi crime thriller series Daldal with a gripping, grisly teaser. Based on Vish Dhamija’s bestselling book Bhendi Bazaar, Daldal,
an Abundantia Entertainment production, is created for a series by Suresh Triveni and produced by Vikram Malhotra and Triveni.
Directed by Amrit Raj Gupta, the series is set against the backdrop of Mumbai. It follows Rita Ferreira, Mumbai Crime Branch’s newly appointed DCP, portrayed by Bhumi Pednekkar, as she finds herself facing a cold-blooded killer in a high-stakes game of survival. Alongside Pednekkar, the series also stars Samara Tijori and Aditya Rawal in lead roles.
The teaser plunges audiences into a world where violence and psychological dread don’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.

“Daldal isn’t your typical psychological crime thriller. It goes beyond the conventional whodunnit to ask ‘why’ – weaving together themes of trauma, vulnerability, and resilience into its very fabric,” said Nikhil Madhok, director & head of Originals, Prime Video India.
“Our attempt is to shatter the template of the crime thriller and we’ve chosen to go beyond the cop-killer story to explore the darker corners of the human psyche. It is always a delight to collaborate with the amazing team at Prime Video and take yet another bold step in our collective commitment to bringing impactful stories to life, this time partnering with the indomitable Suresh Triveni,” said Vikram Malhotra, founder & CEO of Abundantia Entertainment and producer of Daldal.
