First Look: A Sandstorm of Suspense
The debut teaser of Dhood (Sandstorm) has just gone live, offering a glimpse into a film that fuses the vivid culture of Rajasthan with a high‑octane psychological thriller. Crafted by writer‑director Anand Singh Chouhan, the clip drags viewers into a world where ambition, power plays, and age‑old customs collide against the stark, sun‑baked dunes of the early‑1990s.
Rooted in Rajasthan’s Soul
Rather than treating the setting as mere backdrop, Dhood makes the state's terrain, rituals, and daily rhythms central to its story. Set in 1990s Rajasthan, the narrative stitches together nail‑biting twists with the intricate social fabric of a deeply traditional community.
Yashpal Sharma Anchors the Cast
Veteran performer Yashpal Sharma leads an ensemble that includes Alka Amin, Bhawani Singh Chouhan, Vivek Pareek, Praveen Choudhary, and Vanikki Tyagi. Their interwoven relationships fuel the film’s tension, delivering a cocktail of drama, mystery, and raw emotion amid the iconic desert vistas.
Behind the Scenes & Musical Landscape
The picture is produced by a team featuring Samar Jain, Narendra Krishania, Mukesh Pareek, D.S. Chouhan, and Abhishek Chopra. Composer Mehul Surti provides an atmospheric score that heightens the suspense while echoing the haunting silence of the sands. The project is presented by Kalam Academy and Samar Jain under the Soul of Desert banner, in collaboration with Studio Ainak.
Release Plan
Miraj Cinemas will roll out Dhood across India on October 23, 2026, marking a bold step for Rajasthani‑language cinema onto the national stage. By marrying regional heritage with thriller conventions, the film aims to share Rajasthan’s storytelling spirit with audiences far beyond its borders.
