First Look: A Desert Tempest Takes Shape
The debut teaser of Dhood (Sandstorm) has gone live, offering a tantalising glimpse into a film that fuses Rajasthan’s vibrant heritage with a high‑octane psychological thriller. Crafted by writer‑director Anand Singh Chouhan, the clip plunges viewers into a world where familial ambition, power games, and age‑old customs clash against the austere beauty of the early‑1990s desert.
Rooted in the Heart of Rajasthan
Rather than treating the setting as mere backdrop, Dhood weaves the state’s terrain, rituals, and daily rhythms into the core of its story. Set in 1990s Rajasthan, the narrative stitches suspenseful turns into the social tapestry of a deeply traditional community.
Yashpal Sharma Commands the Ensemble
Veteran thespian Yashpal Sharma anchors the cast, sharing the screen with Alka Amin, Bhawani Singh Chouhan, Vivek Pareek, Praveen Choudhary and Vanikki Tyagi. Their tangled relationships fuel the film’s tension, delivering a potent mix of drama, mystery and raw emotion against the iconic dunes.
Behind‑the‑Scenes & Musical Landscape
The production is backed by Samar Jain, Narendra Krishania, Mukesh Pareek, D.S. Chouhan and Abhishek Chopra. Composer Mehul Surti supplies an atmospheric score that heightens suspense while echoing the desert’s eerie silence. The picture is presented by Kalam Academy and Samar Jain under the Soul of Desert banner, in collaboration with Studio Ainak.
Release Blueprint
Miraj Cinemas will roll out Dhood nationwide on 23 October 2026, marking a bold push for Rajasthani‑language cinema onto the national stage. By marrying regional folklore with thriller mechanics, the film aspires to showcase Rajasthan’s storytelling spirit to audiences far beyond its borders.
