Psychological crime thriller with Ali as cop? This sounds like a perfect match! Hope they don't make it too preachy about morality though. Just give us a solid investigative drama 🙏

Sonali Bendre returning to serious roles! ❤️ She was amazing in Sarfarosh and other films. Good to see her getting substantial work after her health battle. More power to her!

Another cop drama? Hope this brings something fresh to the table. Indian OTT is getting saturated with similar concepts. The "psychological complexities" part sounds promising though.
