Dahaad features Sonakshi in her OTT debut, playing a fierce lady cop, Sub-inspector Anjali Bhaati, who strives to solve a gruesome murder case. The video unit teases that there have been suspected murders of 27 women, with no complains or witnesses, but one woman rises against the crime– Sonakshi.

Calling Dahaad as a “truly rewarding experience”, Reema Kagti said in a statement, “The response that we received for the series at Berlinale 2023 was very promising and we are looking forward to bringing this series to our audiences across the globe.”

Ritesh Sidhwani, co-producer, Excel Entertainment said after the success of their shows Made in Heaven, Mirzapur and Inside Edge, the team is confident of creating a “thunderous roar” with their latest series.

“Dahaad’s thrilling storyline and incredible performances are the true standouts of the crime drama. The world that Reema and Zoya had envisioned for this story, truly required grit and coherence; and they have delivered that in spades,” he said.

Dahaad is an 8-part crime drama that follows Sub-inspector Anjali Bhaati and her colleagues in a small-town police station. “It all starts when a series of women are mysteriously found dead in public bathrooms, Sub-Inspector Anjali Bhaati is tasked with the investigation. At first, the deaths appear to be clear-cut suicides but as the cases unravel, Anjali begins to suspect that a serial killer is on the loose,” the official synopsis read.

Dahaad will premiere on May 12 on Prime Video.
