Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran’s much-awaited investigative crime thriller ‘Dāyarā’ has finally unveiled its trailer, setting the stage for a gripping story of an alleged encounter, a murder and a missing girl. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the film promises a tense battle between police duty, justice and accountability. Kareena plays DGP Ajooni Kohli, while Prithviraj portrays DCP Raman Kumar. Their contrasting views on a controversial police encounter become the heart of the story, with Ajooni determined to dig deeper into what really happened.
The investigation soon connects the case to a missing girl and a mysterious incident on October 7, raising questions over whether the encounter was genuine self-defence or part of a larger conspiracy. The trailer also touches upon the complex legal questions surrounding juvenile accused in serious crimes. With Meghna Gulzar returning to the investigative genre after films like Raazi and Talvar, expectations around the film are high. ‘Dāyarā’ is scheduled to hit theatres on September 18, 2026, and the biggest mystery remains—who is telling the truth, and what really happened behind the encounter?
