Viewers who watched the teaser are already calling it ‘disturbing’.Daldal teaser out nowDaldal teaser opens with a warning: ‘Viewer discretion advised’, and rightly so, because what follows is a montage of blood, gore, and torture of the most sadistic kind. The 60-second teaser has no lines, but shows us Bhumi as a police officer, hunting a killer who not only murders his victims, but brutally disfigures their corpses by violently placing objects in their mouths. More montage of blood, gore, and a burning, dying person follows, before showing Bhumi reflecting on a past trauma, as she pictures herself in a school uniform. The teaser ends with a shot of her looking into the camera. What is Daldal aboutAccording to the show’s logline, it is ‘set against the backdrop of Mumbai, and follows Rita Ferreira, Mumbai Crime Branch’s newly appointed DCP (Bhumi), as she finds herself facing a cold-blooded killer in a high-stakes game of survival.’ Alongside Bhumi, the series also stars Samara Tijori and Aditya Rawal in lead roles. The teaser has received several comments from viewers, with many calling it ‘disturbing’. Others have compared it to Paatal Lok and even True Detective.“Crime thrillers make for a compelling watch as they allow us to combine edge-of-your-seat suspense with deep, character-driven storytelling. With Daldal, however, our aim is to push the envelope further with a genre-defying narrative," said Nikhil Madhok, director & head of Originals, Prime Video India. "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.”Daldal release dateBased 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, and written by Triveni alongside Sreekanth Agneeaswaran, Rohan D’Souza, Priya Saggi and Hussain Haidry. Daldal will release on Amazon Prime Video on January 30.
