Daayra Trailer Out!

Inspired by true events, Daayra unfolds in the aftermath of a crime that grips the nation, sparking widespread outrage, while setting a series of events and 2 investigations in motion. As the search for answers deepens, two senior police officers, played by Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran, find themselves navigating the same system through different approaches to duty and justice, on opposing sides of a case that challenges the very idea of right and wrong.

Rooted in realism, the trailer steadily builds tension as new revelations shift the way we see the case. Its sharp, thought-provoking dialogues raise difficult questions on truth and justice. At the same time, Daayra looks beyond the crime itself to explore public perception and the narratives that emerge. At its heart, Daayra asks questions that have no easy answers: How quickly can a narrative become a verdict? When everyone has an opinion, who gets to decide what justice looks like? And when we are only spectators, what do we choose to believe?

The trailer also offers glimpses of the wider ensemble, with powerful performances by Jitendra Joshi, Kshitee Jog, Kanwaljeet Singh, Sandeep Kulkarni and Trupti Khamkar. Alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran, they bring added emotional depth to a story shaped by conflicting perspectives, difficult choices and the consequences of decisions made.

Kareena Kapoor Khan On Daayra

Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan said, “What I loved about working with Meghna is that she makes you question everything you think you know about a character. There’s so much thought behind every detail, but she never takes away your instinct as an actor. Playing DCP Ajooni Kohli stayed with me… because she pushed me into a space I hadn’t really explored before, and at this stage in my career, that’s always exciting. And then to have Prithviraj opposite me was such a pleasure. He’s an incredibly intelligent actor… very present, very instinctive… and there was an ease to working together that I really enjoyed. This was one of those films where the people you’re surrounded by make the experience that much richer.”

Prithviraj Sukumaran On Daayra

Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran said, “What drew me to DCP Raman Kumar was the complexity beneath his composed exterior and the questions he finds himself grappling with during the investigation. What I admire is how the film maintains that objectivity right till the very end, allowing the audience to form their own perspective. Meghna Gulzar is a filmmaker whose craft I have closely followed and Daayra gave me the opportunity to work with her. It was a rewarding experience and working with Kareena made the journey even more special. I hope the audience connects with the world we have created, a story that is gripping and deeply human”

Meghna Gulzar On Daayra

Director Meghna Gulzar said, “Daayra doesn’t sit comfortably in black and white. It explores the grey and dismantles it. As a filmmaker, that grey space is always challenging, and yet compelling – where characters make choices, live with them, and the audience is left to engage with what unfolds. The main protagonists of Daayra are brought to life with towering performances by Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran. I’m grateful that I got this dynamic combination of actors, along with an exceptional ensemble cast, to explore the delicate lines of law and justice that traverse the story of Daayra. I am very excited to share this world of grey with the audience and welcome them into it!”
