Mumbai, May 2

The trailer for the upcoming murder-mystery thriller 'Pune Highway,' which stars actors Amit Sadh and Jim Sarbh, was unveiled by the makers on Friday.

The film, directed by Bugs Bhargava Krishna and Rahul daCunha, is a mystery drama based on a well-known play of the same name. It was shown at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) last year and received a great response from the audience.

The story follows the lives of three childhood friends whose quiet getaway takes a dark turn when they discover a dead body. What starts as a normal trip turns into a tense and emotional journey filled with fear, guilt, and questions about trust.

Sadh, as per a press note from the team, said, "This film has been an incredible experience, one that comes closest to Kai Po Che in my career trajectory. It's a story about how ordinary people unravel when they're thrust into extraordinary circumstances."

Director Bugs Bhargava Krishna added, "We wanted to capture how one unexpected moment can unravel everything you think you know. The film navigates fear, guilt, and survival--and we hope the audience enjoys piecing together the mystery just as much as we did crafting it."

Rahul daCunha, who co-directed the film, added, "The play still gets an amazing response from people when they watch it. Our goal was to make a mystery that has multiple layers and also delves into human behavior when loyalty and trust are put to the test."

The film also features Anuvab Pal, Manjari Fadnnis, Ketki Narayan, Sudeep Modak, Abhishek Krishnan, Swapnil Ajgaonkar, and Shishir Sharma.

The film is set to hit theaters on May 16.

The trailer looks intense! Amit Sadh and Jim Sarbh are such underrated actors in Bollywood. After watching Kai Po Che, I've always felt Sadh deserves more lead roles. The premise reminds me of those classic whodunit films but with a fresh Indian touch. Counting days till May 16! 🤩

Saw the play version last year in Delhi - it was mind-blowing! Hope the film does justice to the original material. The casting looks perfect though - Jim Sarbh especially has that mysterious vibe that suits such roles. Fingers crossed!

Not sure about the trailer - feels like we've seen similar 'friends-turned-suspects' plots before. But I'll give it a chance because of the director duo. Their previous work had depth. Hope this isn't just style over substance.

Yay! Finally a Bollywood thriller that doesn't rely on item songs or forced romance tracks. The tension in the trailer gave me goosebumps. Also refreshing to see a film based on a play - our theatre scene has so many gems waiting to be adapted.

The cinematography looks stunning! That highway shot with the three friends arguing in the car - brilliant framing. Hope the story keeps up with the visual appeal. Indian cinema needs more such content-driven films rather than just masala entertainers.

As someone from Pune, I'm excited but also nervous about how they've portrayed the city. Too often films stereotype locations. That said, the actors' performances seem top-notch. Manjari Fadnnis is such a natural performer - glad she's getting good roles again!
