New Delhi, August 31, 2026 The much-awaited trailer of Daayra has been released by Junglee Pictures, immediately drawing attention from audiences and fans of the thriller-action genre. Inspired by true events, the film presents a serious and intense narrative led by Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran, with the trailer hinting at a gripping investigation where different interpretations of justice come into conflict.

Another admirer of Meghna Gulzar expressed excitement about the project, saying, "Excited for this one (fingers crossed emoji) We can trust on Meghna Gulzar (tick mark emoji)." The story follows DCP Ajooni Kohli, played by Kareena Kapoor, and DCP Raman Kumar, portrayed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. Both officers are assigned to the same case but have different views on how justice should be pursued. The seriousness surrounding the abduction of a girl leads to the creation of a Special Investigation Team, bringing the two officers together as they attempt to trace the truth through an increasingly challenging investigation. The trailer also offers glimpses into the contrasting personalities of the two protagonists. Ajooni appears to have an exceptional memory that allows her to reconstruct crime scenes, while Raman is shown displaying a strong sense of empathy towards the victim and those affected by the incident. While Ajooni appears determined to remain within the boundaries of the law, Raman’s emotional connection to the case could test his approach. This conflict between legal boundaries and human emotions forms the central tension of Daayra, setting the stage for an intense thriller driven by both investigation and character.
