First Look: A Sandstorm Rises
The debut teaser of Dhood (Sandstorm) has just gone live, offering a glimpse into a film that fuses Rajasthan’s vibrant heritage with a heart‑racing psychological mystery. Crafted by writer‑director Anand Singh Chouhan, the clip throws viewers into a world where familial ambition, 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 core of its story. Set in the 1990s, the narrative stitches suspenseful turns into the very fabric of a society steeped in tradition.
Yashpal Sharma Leads a Powerful Ensemble
Seasoned performer Yashpal Sharma anchors the cast, sharing the screen with Alka Amin, Bhawani Singh Chouhan, Vivek Pareek, Praveen Choudhary, and Vanikki Tyagi. Their tangled relationships drive the film’s tension, delivering a potent mix of drama, intrigue, and raw emotion amid the iconic Rajasthani 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 provides an atmospheric score that heightens suspense while echoing the desert’s haunting stillness. The picture is presented by Kalam Academy and Samar Jain under the Soul of Desert banner, in collaboration with Studio Ainak.
Release Plan
Miraj Cinemas will roll out Dhood nationwide on October 23, 2026, marking a bold step for Rajasthani‑language cinema onto the pan‑Indian stage. By marrying regional culture with thriller mechanics, the film aspires to showcase Rajasthan’s storytelling spirit to audiences far beyond its borders.
