First Look: A Sandstorm Rises on Screen
The debut teaser of Dhood (Sandstorm) has just gone live, offering a glimpse into a story that fuses Rajasthan’s vivid cultural mosaic with a high‑octane psychological thriller. Crafted by writer‑director Anand Singh Chouhan, the clip plunges viewers into a world where familial aspirations, power games, and age‑old customs collide against the stark, sun‑baked dunes of the early‑1990s.
Rooted in Rajasthan’s Soul
Rather than treating the setting as mere backdrop, Dhood weaves the state’s terrain, rituals, and daily cadence into the very fabric of its plot. Set in 1990s Rajasthan, the narrative stitches together nail‑biting twists with the intricate social tapestry of a deeply traditional community.
Yashpal Sharma Heads a Stellar Ensemble
Seasoned performer Yashpal Sharma anchors the cast, sharing the frame with Alka Amin, Bhawani Singh Chouhan, Vivek Pareek, Praveen Choudhary, and Vanikki Tyagi. Their interlaced relationships drive the film’s mounting tension, delivering a potent mix of drama, mystery, and raw emotion amid the iconic desert landscape.
Production and Musical Landscape
The movie is backed by producers Samar Jain, Narendra Krishania, Mukesh Pareek, D.S. Chouhan, and Abhishek Chopra. Composer Mehul Surti provides an atmospheric score that heightens suspense while echoing the haunting silence of the dunes. Presented by Kalam Academy and Samar Jain under the Soul of Desert banner, in collaboration with Studio Ainak, the film promises a rich auditory experience.
Release Plan
Miraj Cinemas will bring Dhood to theatres across India on October 23, 2026, marking a bold step for Rajasthani‑language cinema onto the national platform. By marrying regional heritage with thriller conventions, the film aspires to share Rajasthan’s storytelling spirit with audiences far beyond its borders.
