Bandwaale To Release On February 13th

Set in Ratlam, Bandwaale follows Mariam, a young poetess who begins anonymously sharing her poetry online as she searches for independence and a sense of self. The deeply personal poems, penned by Kausar Munir, become a quiet yet powerful expression of her inner world, giving voice to emotions she finds difficult to articulate otherwise. Her journey unfolds alongside Robo and DJ Psycho, her bandmates and closest companions from the same town, who bring music, humour, and companionship into her world.

While Mariam expresses herself through poetry, Robo and DJ Psycho anchor the trio through their shared creative energy and belief in possibility. At its core, Bandwaale has a rich and diverse musical landscape that reflects the inner lives of its characters. The series features original compositions by Yashraj Mukhate, marking his first foray into long-form series music. The music shapes the story’s emotional journey, making it central to the narrative.

With creators Ankur Tewari and Swanand Kirkire being musicians themselves, Bandwaale carries a strong musical sensibility, lending the dramedy a layered and immersive experience. The series features a stellar ensemble cast including Shalini Pandey, Zahan Kapoor, Swanand Kirkire, Sanjana Dipu, Ashish Vidyarthi and Anupama Kumar in key roles. Bandwaale will premiere exclusively on Prime Video across India and in over 240 countries and territories worldwide on February 13.
