Daayra Trailer: Kareena, Prithviraj Face Off Over Justice
Aug 31, 2026
The trailer of Daayra is out, offering a gripping first look at Meghna Gulzar’s upcoming thriller, where truth is never absolute and justice can be interpreted in more ways than one.
Starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran, the film follows two senior police officers who find themselves on opposite sides of a high-profile case. Set against the aftermath of a crime that sparks widespread public outrage, Daayra explores the complex relationship between crime, justice, punishment and public perception.
Inspired by true events, the film sets two investigations in motion as the search for answers begins. Kareena and Prithviraj’s characters approach their duty and the idea of justice differently, placing them on opposing sides of a case that challenges conventional notions of right and wrong.
The trailer gradually builds tension as new revelations change the way the audience perceives the case. Rooted in realism, the thriller also uses sharp and thought-provoking dialogues to raise questions about truth, accountability and the influence of public opinion.
Beyond the crime itself, Daayra examines how quickly public perception can turn into a verdict and how narratives can shape the understanding of justice. The film asks a central question: when everyone has an opinion, who ultimately gets to decide what justice looks like?
Written by Yash Keswani, Sima Agarwal and Meghna Gulzar, Daayra promises a layered and emotionally charged narrative. The film is directed by Meghna Gulzar and is set to release in cinemas on September 18, 2026.
