The makers of "Dhood" have released the trailer of the Rajasthani psychological thriller, directed by Anand Singh Chauhan. Bollywood actor Yashpal Sharma plays a key role in the film. What sets the project apart is its reach: "Dhood" is described as the first Rajasthani film to be released in theatres across India.

The World of "Dhood"

The story is rooted in the culture of Rajasthan and unfolds against the backdrop of the 1990s. According to the makers, the film closely depicts the period, showing the culture of that era, the lives of ordinary people and many glimpses of the Rajasthani soil. Beyond this, the story details have not been disclosed, so the psychological-thriller premise remains largely a mystery.

Cast and Crew

Yashpal Sharma leads a cast that includes Alka Amin, Bhawani Singh Chauhan, Vivek Pareek, Praveen Chaudhary and Vanikki Tyagi. Anand Singh Chauhan has written and directed the film. It is produced by Samar Jain, Narendra Krishnaiya, Mukesh Pareek, DS Chauhan and Abhishek Chopra, with music composed by Mehul Surti. "Dhood" is a Kalam Academy and Samar Jain presentation and a Soul of Desert production in association with Studio Ainak.

Why This Release Matters

Regional-language cinema has been gaining wider attention, and a Rajasthani film getting a nationwide theatrical run is a notable step for a industry that rarely reaches audiences beyond its home state. Pairing a recognisable face like Yashpal Sharma with a genre as accessible as the psychological thriller gives the film a chance to travel. Its performance could influence whether more Rajasthani productions attempt wider releases.

Release Date

"Dhood" will release in theatres nationwide on October 23, 2026. Miraj Cinemas will handle the pan-India release.
