Prime Video India has unveiled the gripping first look poster of Raakh, sparking major buzz online. The tagline, JUSTICE will rise from the ashes, hints at a dark and fiery tale, with Ali Fazal stepping into what could be one of his most intense roles yet. Slated for a 2026 release, this original series already has crime thriller fans counting down the days.
Ali Fazal, widely admired for his complex performance in Mirzapur, once again immerses himself in the gritty world of crime and morality. Adding to the excitement is Sonali Bendre, the beloved 90s star who recently made a successful comeback with The Broken News. Their pairing promises a mix of raw intensity and magnetic screen presence. The series is directed by Prosit Roy, the filmmaker behind the acclaimed Paatal Lok, raising expectations even higher.
Described as an investigative crime thriller, Raakh appears set to explore deeper themes like vengeance, redemption, and the thin line between justice and revenge. The title itself—meaning ashes—suggests a story about rising from destruction, a symbolic narrative that could anchor its dark and psychological undertones.
With Indian originals in high demand globally, industry voices see Raakh as a strategic and timely project. Backed by Endemol Shine India and written by Anusha N. Kumar and Ayush Trivedi, the show boasts a strong creative team. Alongside Ali and Sonali, the cast also features seasoned actor Aamir Bashir, adding further weight to its storytelling.
If the electrifying poster is any indication, Raakh could well become one of Prime Video’s standout thrillers, offering audiences a gripping mix of crime, drama, and emotional depth.
