Bhumi Pednekkar goes on hot pursuit of meticulously orchestrated murders in 'Daldal' trailer
Mumbai, Jan 21
The trailer of the upcoming streaming series 'Daldal' was unveiled on Wednesday. It is set in the bustling city of Mumbai, and revolves around DCP Rita Ferreira, played by Bhumi Satish Pednekkar, as she embarks on a dangerous investigation to track down a cold-blooded serial killer.
The series is based on Vish Dhamija's bestselling book 'Bhendi Bazaar', and is directed by Amrit Raj Gupta. The trailer shows a series of brutal, meticulously orchestrated murders that expose the deeply twisted psyche of a cold-blooded killer. As the body count rises, Rita is pulled deeper into a dark and unsettling investigation that threatens to consume her. Pushed to her breaking point, she races against time while battling her own inner demons and the relentless pressure of a system that demands results at any cost.
Talking about the series, Bhumi Satish Pednekkar said, "Playing Rita Ferreira has been one of the most intense and creatively fulfilling experiences of my career. She is a woman forged by ambition, haunted by doubt, and burdened by the weight of her past, a character who demanded that I explore the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength in ways I had never done before. Stepping into her world was both challenging and deeply rewarding, as Rita's journey mirrors the complexities we all face when confronting our own demons".
"Reuniting with Vikram, after the hugely successful 'Toilet-Ek Prem Katha', was like a homecoming, and I am profoundly grateful to Suresh, Amrit, and the entire team behind this series for entrusting me with such a richly layered and emotionally demanding role. Daldal holds a special place in my heart. I hope Rita's story resonates with viewers as powerfully as it has with me".
Produced by Vikram Malhotra and Suresh Triveni, the series is an Abundantia Entertainment production, and is set to stream on Prime Video on January 30.

Finally, a good crime thriller set in Mumbai! The city's energy adds so much to these stories. Hope the series does justice to the book. Abundantia and Prime Video have a good track record, so expectations are high.
The premise sounds gripping, but I hope they focus on the investigation and psychology, not just the gore. Sometimes these series become too violent for the sake of it. Fingers crossed for a smart, layered narrative.
Bhumi and Vikram Malhotra teaming up again after 'Toilet' is the real news! That was a blockbuster with a social message. This is a complete genre shift. Shows her range. Best of luck to the whole team!
As a fan of Vish Dhamija's books, I'm cautiously optimistic. 'Bhendi Bazaar' is a brilliant novel. The pressure is on the director to translate that intricate plot to screen. The trailer looks promising, hope the series delivers.
Love seeing strong female leads in Indian OTT. Rita Ferreira sounds like a complex character – not just a hero but a real person with struggles. Bhumi's interview shows how deeply she connected with the role. Excited for this!
