Ali Fazal, best known for his layered role in Mirzapur, seems to be diving deep once again into the world of crime and justice. But this time, he’s joined by Sonali Bendre, the iconic 90s star who made a dazzling return with The Broken News. Together, the duo adds both grit and glamour to the series, which is being helmed by Prosit Roy, the director behind the critically acclaimed Paatal Lok.
Raakh is described as an investigative crime thriller, but if the teaser poster and tagline are any hint, it may lean heavily into themes of redemption, vengeance, and moral grey zones. Given the show's title, meaning "ashes," the story might center around a character or community emerging from ruin to seek justice—echoing the dark, psychological edge of Roy’s previous work.
Industry experts are already calling Raakh a strategic move, as global demand for Indian original content continues to rise. With a team including Endemol Shine India, writers Anusha N. Kumar and Ayush Trivedi, and actors like Aamir Bashir, the series is built on a foundation of experienced talent and rich storytelling. If this first look is anything to go by, Raakh might just be the next big thing to rise from the world of Indian streaming.
