Raakh OTT Release: The terrifying trailer for Prime Video's upcoming Prime Original investigative crime thriller, Raakh, was unveiled. In addition to shattering the families of the victims, the trailer uncovered the horrifying depths of violence and human depravity.

Raakh OTT Release
Raakh is set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video in India and in over 240 countries and territories worldwide on June 12.
No parent wants to hear the question 'Bacche kab se gayab hain?', which was teased at the beginning of Raakh's brutal trailer. The story is set in Delhi in the late 1970s, when parents believed it was safe for their children to go outside after dark. But this idea is destroyed for the entire nation by a terrible crime. Through spooky, atmospheric montages, the video expresses the parents' intense hope of finding their children.
Sub-inspector Jayprakash (Ali Fazal), with ferocious intensity, initiates a persistent quest to apprehend the perpetrators of the horrible murder. This manhunt takes him into the criminals' twisted mentality, revealing a lack of morality so extreme that it exposes the deepest corners of human cruelty.

"When I was first approached for Raakh, I expected it to be a conventional investigative crime thriller, but the moment I read the script, I was drawn in. Anusha, Sandeep and Prosit have woven a story that is layered, emotionally intense, and packed with gritty realism. Jayprakash is an introvert, the unlikely cop, whose mind I found exciting to explore, along with the minds of the suspects. Flawed, conflicted, and constantly trying to prove himself within a rapidly changing political and social environment. What makes Raakh truly compelling is that it is a character study as much as it is a police procedural. I believe it will make for a riveting watch for audiences in India and globally," said Ali Fazal, who plays the role of SI Jayprakash in the series.
"Raakh came to me at a time when I’ve become very conscious of the stories I choose to be part of. What drew me to it was how layered and emotionally complex it is. While it unfolds as a thriller, at its heart it is a deeply human story. The series allowed me to explore emotional spaces I hadn’t tapped into before as an actor. Mona is a character who carries both vulnerability and quiet strength, and portraying her was incredibly rewarding. Working with Prosit, Anusha and Sandeep was a joy, and I’m grateful for the sensitivity and honesty they brought to the storytelling. I hope audiences are as moved by the story as we were while bringing it to life," said actor Sonali Bendre, who plays Mona Arora.
