First Look: A Sandstorm Rises
The debut teaser of Dhood (Sandstorm) has gone live, offering a glimpse into a film that fuses Rajasthan’s vivid cultural mosaic with a heart‑racing psychological thriller. Crafted by writer‑director Anand Singh Chouhan, the clip plunges viewers into a world where familial ambition, power games, and age‑old customs collide against the stark, golden dunes of early‑1990s Rajasthan.
Rooted Deeply in Rajasthani Soil
Rather than treating the setting as mere backdrop, Dhood weaves the state’s terrain, rituals, and daily cadence into the very fabric of its story. Set against the 1990s Rajasthani landscape, the narrative stitches suspenseful turns into the social tapestry of a profoundly traditional community.
Yashpal Sharma Leads a Powerful Ensemble
Seasoned actor Yashpal Sharma anchors the cast, sharing the screen with Alka Amin, Bhawani Singh Chouhan, Vivek Pareek, Praveen Choudhary, and Vanikki Tyagi. Their intertwined destinies fuel the film’s tension, delivering a potent mix of drama, mystery, and raw emotion amid the iconic desert dunes.
Behind the Scenes & Musical Score
The production is backed by Samar Jain, Narendra Krishania, Mukesh Pareek, D.S. Chouhan, and Abhishek Chopra. Composer Mehul Surti’s atmospheric score heightens the suspense while echoing the desert’s eerie silence. The project is presented by Kalam Academy and Samar Jain under the Soul of Desert banner, in collaboration with Studio Ainak.
Release Plan
Miraj Cinemas will bring Dhood to theatres across India on 23 October 2026, marking a bold step for Rajasthani‑language cinema on the national stage. By marrying regional heritage with thriller dynamics, the film aspires to showcase Rajasthan’s storytelling spirit to viewers far beyond its borders.
