Meghna Gulzar's anticipated film, 'Daayra,' starring Kareena Kapoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran, is set for its OTT release on Netflix on November 13. This marks the first on-screen collaboration between Kapoor and Sukumaran, who plays DCP Raman Kumar. The film will be available in Hindi and Malayalam.
'Daayra' centers on Ajooni (Kareena Kapoor), an SIT chief investigating a police encounter linked to a brutal rape and murder. The accused claim they attempted to escape during custody, a narrative scrutinized by Ajooni. The film's plot follows her investigation into this controversial incident.
Critics have noted the film's deliberate pacing in the first half, allowing the investigation to unfold organically, though at times lacking urgency. The second half reportedly picks up pace, leading to a compelling climax that raises questions about institutions and accountability. Kapoor herself has highlighted the grounded, realistic portrayal in 'Daayra' compared to the larger-than-life settings of commercial cop universes.
