Dahaad, starring Sonakshi Sinha, is getting ready to premiere at Berlin International Film Festival. What makes it so special is that the Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby’s Dahaad, directed by Reema Kagti and Ruchika Oberoi, will be India’s first web series to premiere at the prestigious film festival.
Dahaad, also starring Vijay Varma, Gulshan Devaiah, and Sohum Shah in the lead roles, has been selected for the Berlinale Series Competition.
The show is set in a small, sleepy town in Rajasthan. The intiguing eight-part crime drama that follows Sub-inspector Anjali Bhaati and her colleagues at the local police station unravel a curious case.
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. What follows is a riveting game of cat and mouse between a seasoned criminal and an underdog cop as she pieces together evidence before another innocent woman loses her life.
Reema, Kagti has delivered many critically acclaimed and loved stories with films like Talaash, Zindgi Na Milegi Dobara, Gully Boy (also presented at The Berlinale) and web series like Made In Heaven, amongst many others.
Directed by Reema Kagti and Ruchika Oberoi, produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti, and Farhan Akhtar, Dahaad is slated to release in 2023.
