MUMBAI, India—June 11, 2026—Prime Video, India’s most-loved entertainment destination, today unveiled the second trailer of its upcoming Prime Original investigative crime thriller, Raakh. The series is a gripping fictional investigative thriller set in the late 1970s, that traces a shocking crime that not only shakes the nation, but also gives way to a nationwide manhunt that explores the collision between crime and justice.
The trailer opens with a striking close-up of a pair of eyes and a maniacal laugh that sets the tone for what follows. Packed with fast-paced and intense visuals, it pulls viewers into the world of Babu (Akash Makhija) and Rajjo (Ramandeep Yadav). Through sharp flashes of the crimes they’ve committed, the trailer gives us a glimpse into their troubled pasts, peeling back the layers of their twisted minds, revealing the forces that shaped them. At the same time, SI Jayprakash (portrayed by Ali Fazal) is racing against time to track them down as they continue to leave a trail of destruction in their wake. With the hunt intensifying and the stakes growing higher, the trailer promises a gripping battle between a determined cop and two of the most formidable adversaries he has ever faced.
Packed with relentless tension, gripping suspense, and emotional heft, the second trailer raises the stakes for Raakh, promising a compelling psychological journey into the minds of two notorious figures. Will SI Jayprakash be able to catch them or will they continue to be one step ahead? As the chase spirals into terror, discover who wins this deadly game of cat and mouse. Raakh, premiering June 12, exclusively on Prime Video.
Speaking of the series, Creators, Writers, and Co-Directors Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket said, “At the end of the day, what stays with you from great crime stories is rarely just the crime or the investigation. You remember the deeply human emotions. With Raakh, we wanted audiences to explore emotional spaces they wouldn’t expect from a crime thriller, because crime is not the only thing that happens in a crime story — it’s also about everything else it leaves in its wake. From the very beginning, we weren’t interested in building a world that revolved solely around the mystery. We wanted to create a holistic emotional landscape around it—one that explored grief, guilt, love, anger, and the ways in which a single act can ripple through the lives of everyone it touches. For us, the most compelling question wasn’t just ‘Who did it?’, but ‘What does this do to the people left behind?’”
