Raakh will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in Hindi across India and in over 240 countries and territories worldwide on June 12 

MUMBAI, India—May 29, 2026— Prime Video, India’s most loved entertainment destination, today announced June 12 as the worldwide premiere date for its upcoming Prime Original series Raakh. Directed and executive produced by Prosit Roy, the series is created, written, and co-directed by Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket, with dialogues by Ayush Trivedi. Produced by Deepak Dhar, Rishi Negi, Mrinalini Jain, and Shyam Rathi under the banner of Endemol Shine India in association with BhaDiPa, Raakh stars Sonali Bendre, Ali Fazal, and Aamir Bashir in lead roles and will premiere on Prime Video in India and over 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Raakh is a investigative drama that unfolds as a visceral study of the criminal mind and the darkness that lingers beneath the surface of everyday life. When two teenagers vanish without a trace, a close-knit family is shattered and an entire city is left on edge. A relentless investigating officer launches a nationwide manhunt to uncover the truth — but the deeper he goes, the more the case pulls him into a world of violence and human depravity.

“With Raakh we had a brilliant script but the on-screen execution has been even better.” said Nikhil Madhok, director and head of Originals, Prime Video India. “Prosit Roy, Anusha Nandakumar, and Sandeep Saket have built a narrative that is as devastating as it is compelling. Ali Fazal delivers a performance of extraordinary depth as an officer consumed by a case that threatens to unravel everything he believes in, while Sonali Bendre and Aamir Bashir bring a layered intensity that elevates every frame. This is the kind of story that stays with you long after the screen goes dark.”

Rishi Negi, Group Chief Operating Officer, Banijay Asia & Endemol Shine India, said: “In a landscape filled with crime thrillers, Raakh stood out for its refusal to offer easy answers and its richly textured storytelling that treats characters with as much complexity as its plot. Prosit, Anusha and Sandeep have woven a story that sustains the tension of a relentless investigation while exploring the psychological toll of justice, morality, and duty. The exceptional talent of our cast in Ali, Sonali and Aamir have brought unprecedented depth to their characters. We are thrilled to collaborate with Prime Video to bring Raakh to audiences worldwide.”

Prosit Roy, Director and Executive Producer, Raakh, said: “Raakh has been one of the most creatively fulfilling and emotionally intense projects I have worked on, because at its heart, it goes far beyond being a crime thriller. What excited me most about Raakh was the opportunity to merge the thrill of a gripping manhunt with an unflinching exploration of trauma and the darker impulses of human nature. Anusha and Sandeep have created a world that is meticulously researched, intricately layered, and rich with moral ambiguity. Ali brings a quiet ferocity that anchors the entire narrative, while Sonali and Aamir inhabit their characters with an intensity that makes every moment feel real. It has also been wonderful to once again collaborate with Prime Video after Paatal Lok, and I cannot wait for audiences to experience this on June 12.”
