The gripping trailer of Arshad Warsi and Jitendra Kumar’s Bhagwat Chapter 1: Raakshas has been released officially, giving audiences a gritty view of a crime, mystery, and moral conflict-filled world. The crime-thriller is directed by Akshay Shere and also stars Ayesha Kaduskar in a major role, and will have its premiere on ZEE5 on October 17.
The trailer kicks off with Arshad Warsi’s character, Vishwas Bhagwat, a tough and troubled cop who is suspended after violently injuring a suspect during an interrogation. Soon after, he is transferred to the remote town of Robertsganj in Uttar Pradesh, where he’s assigned to a disturbing case involving the disappearance of several young girls.
Jitendra Kumar is a seemingly mild-mannered science teacher whose behavior soon arouses suspicion. In a spine-chilling sequence, he is observed luring a little girl under shady circumstances. Vishwas, believing him to be guilty, arrests and beats him up at the police station. But the story takes a dramatic turn as Jitendra’s character strikes back — but not with fists, with brains — defending himself in court with fierce resolve.
The trailer promises a tense courtroom drama steeped in dark undertones and layered moral questions. With haunting visuals and a haunting score, Bhagwat Chapter 1: Raakshas promises to launch into a high-stakes war of perception and truth, law and justice.
Supported by Jio Studios in association with Baweja Studios and Dog ‘n’ Bone Pictures, the movie is set to deliver a dramatic interpretation of institutional failure, societal phobia, and unseen monsters in open sight.
With powerhouse artists like Warsi and Kumar set to go head-to-head, Bhagwat Chapter 1: Raakshas is becoming a riveting and thought-provoking experience this October.
