Prime Video unveiled a bone-chilling trailer of its upcoming Prime Original investigative crime thriller, Raakh. The trailer offers a glimpse of a brutal and unimaginable crime that not only shatters the victims' families but also uncovers the disturbing depths of violence and human depravity. The investigative drama doubles as a raw, emotionally charged character study of grief, morality, and human darkness.
The hard-hitting trailer of Raakh begins with a question that no parent ever wants to hear: "Bacche kab se gayab hain?" It then shows Sonali Bendre and Aamir Bashir as worried parents whose children are brutally murdered.
Set against the backdrop of late 1970s Delhi, at a time when parents believed their children were safe to step outside alone after sunset, a shocking crime shatters this belief for the entire nation. Through haunting, atmospheric montages, the trailer captures the parents' desperate hope of finding their children. To catch those behind the heinous crime, sub-inspector Jayprakash - played with fierce intensity by Ali Fazal - launches a relentless manhunt that drags him into the twisted psyche of the perpetrators, exposing a lack of morality so extreme it reveals the very darkest corners of human evil.
"When I was first approached for Raakh, I expected it to be a conventional investigative crime thriller, but the moment I read the script, I was drawn in. Anusha, Sandeep and Prosit have woven a story that is layered, emotionally intense, and packed with gritty realism," said Ali Fazal.
"Raakh came to me at a time when I've become very conscious of the stories I choose to be part of. What drew me to it was how layered and emotionally complex it is. While it unfolds as a thriller, at its heart it is a deeply human story," said actor Sonali Bendre, who plays Mona Arora.
The fictional series is directed and executive produced by Prosit Roy, and created, written and co-directed by Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket, with dialogues by Ayush Trivedi. The series also features Akash Makhija, Ramandeep Yadav, Divya Sharma, Vivaan Sharma, Anshul Chauhan, Rakesh Bedi, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya in pivotal roles. It is set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video on June 12.
