A dark, myth-laced thriller titled Gandhari is set to premiere on Netflix in 2026, featuring Taapsee Pannu in a leading role. The film centers on a mother whose life is irrevocably altered when her young daughter is abducted from a railway station.
Adding to her devastation, the protagonist endures a violent assault that causes temporary blindness. She then navigates a perilous path through grief and fear, confronting a hidden child-trafficking operation.
This network operates within a town steeped in local shape-shifter lore and ancient tales. The mother's quest for vengeance and the rescue of her child, and others, escalates her into a near-mythic figure.
Devashish Makhija directs this emotionally charged narrative, with Kanika Dhillon serving as writer and producer. The ensemble cast includes Ishwak Singh and Swastika Mukherjee, among others, contributing to the film's intense atmosphere.
