Overview
- Daayra is a Meghna Gulzar thriller starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran with a confirmed theatrical release date of September 18, 2026.
- The film is the first co-production between Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios and is presented as being inspired by true events.
- Prithviraj publicly praised Gulzar’s filmmaking and said on June 25 that he frequently argued with her during the shoot, describing those debates as part of a rewarding collaboration.
- Both Prithviraj and coverage of the film emphasize that Daayra raises unsettling questions about crime and the delivery of justice while deliberately avoiding definitive answers.
- Meghna Gulzar’s work on Raazi and Talvar frames expectations for Daayra’s measured, objective style and the reported absence of songs signals a deliberately serious tone in the film’s promotion.
