On January 31, the makers unveiled the teaser across social media, offering a glimpse into its intense narrative.
The 1:09-minute teaser introduces viewers to five ordinary women from Thane, Maharashtra, who transform their tiffin (dabba) service into a drug cartel. It opens with Shabana Azmi’s powerful dialogue, “Dhande mein khaali do hi cheez hoti hai nafa aur nuksan,” setting the tone for the crime-infused storyline. The teaser showcases the women navigating the dangerous world of drug trafficking. The clip ends with Jyothika interrogating Azmi, “To ye hai tumhara Narcos Thane.”
The announcement sparked excitement among fans, with social media flooded with reactions. Some called it the Breaking Bad female version, while others compared it to Saas Bahu Flamingo. Fans praised the ensemble cast and lauded Shibani Akhtar for creating the show.
