Vaani Kapoor’s ‘Mandala Murders’ releases July 25

After the huge success of The Railway Men, Netflix and Yash Raj Films are back with a gripping thriller titled Mandala Murders. The series is set in the mysterious town of Charandaspur, where a string of ritualistic murders leads to the discovery of a centuries-old secret society.

The plot follows detectives Rea Thomas (played by Vaani Kapoor) and Vikram Singh (Vaibhav Raj Gupta) as they investigate these strange killings. As they uncover hidden symbols and twisted motives, they find themselves entangled in a chilling mystery that blurs the line between faith and madness.

Created by Gopi Puthran, known for the Mardaani series, Mandala Murders is co-directed by Puthran and Manan Rawat. Produced under YRF Entertainment, the series features Vaani Kapoor in a bold new role alongside Vaibhav Raj Gupta, Surveen Chawla, and Shriya Pilgaonkar.

Executive producers Aditya Chopra, Uday Chopra, Yogendra Mogre, and Akshaye Widhani are also part of the project. The series will premiere on Netflix on July 25, 2025.

Earlier, Netflix and YRF’s The Railway Men received praise for its portrayal of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy. That historical drama told the story of brave railway workers who saved many lives during the disaster.

With Mandala Murders, the team shifts from historical heroism to mythological suspense, promising an intense, edge-of-your-seat viewing experience.
