First Look: A Sandstorm Rises
The debut teaser of Dhood (Sandstorm) has gone live, offering a glimpse into a narrative that fuses Rajasthan’s vivid heritage with a high‑octane psychological thriller. Crafted by writer‑director Anand Singh Chouhan, the clip drops viewers into a world where familial ambition, power games, and age‑old customs collide against the austere beauty of the early‑1990s desert.
Rooted Deeply in Rajasthan
Rather than treating the setting as mere backdrop, Dhood weaves the state’s terrain, rituals, and daily cadence into the core of its story. Set in 1990s Rajasthan, the film stitches suspenseful turns into the fabric of a society steeped in tradition.
Yashpal Sharma Fronts a Stellar Cast
Acclaimed actor Yashpal Sharma leads the ensemble, sharing the screen with Alka Amin, Bhawani Singh Chouhan, Vivek Pareek, Praveen Choudhary and Vanikki Tyagi. Their tangled connections drive the narrative tension, delivering a mix of drama, mystery and raw feeling amid the iconic dunes.
Behind the Scenes and Soundtrack
The film is backed by producers Samar Jain, Narendra Krishania, Mukesh Pareek, D.S. Chouhan and Abhishek Chopra. Composer Mehul Surti provides an atmospheric score that heightens suspense while echoing the desert’s eerie stillness. Presented by Kalam Academy and Samar Jain under the Soul of Desert banner, in collaboration with Studio Ainak.
Release Plan
Miraj Cinemas will launch Dhood nationwide on October 23, 2026, representing a bold step for Rajasthani‑language cinema on the national stage. By marrying regional culture with thriller tropes, the movie aspires to bring Rajasthan’s storytelling spirit to a wider audience.
