Daldal OTT Release Date
The Daldal OTT release date is January 30, 2026, and the series is streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
Prime has positioned it as one of its big Hindi originals of the week, dropping it alongside other buzzy titles in that late-January content pile-up.
If you already have a Prime subscription, there’s nothing extra to do; search for “Daldal” on or after the 30th, and you’re in.
What’s interesting is how quietly but confidently the show has been rolled out. The first look premiered at IFFI 2025, which is not where you send a casual, throwaway thriller.
Then came the teaser, poster,s and finally Prime Video and media outlets confirming the January 30, 2026, global premiere, with the series launching in India and over 240 other countries and territories at once.
It’s clearly being treated as a flagship psychological crime title, not just another “drop and forget” web series.
As a viewer, I love this kind of timing, right at the end of January, when resolutions are fading, and all you really want is a dark, twisty binge to sink into over the weekend.
Daldal feels perfectly placed for that: eight-ish episodes of moody Mumbai crime, clicked on “just to sample one,” and suddenly it’s 2 a.m., and you’re three clues deep into a serial-killer investigation.
Daldal Cast
The Daldal cast is led by Bhumi Pednekar as DCP Rita Ferreira, supported by a strong ensemble that includes Aditya Rawal, Samara Tijori, Rahul Bhat, Ananth Mahadevan, Sandeep Kulkarni, and others.
Bhumi plays a newly appointed officer in the Mumbai Crime Branch, and everything about the promos and early coverage suggests she’s carrying a complex, layered role, tough on the job, messy in private, constantly walking the line between control and collapse.
Around her, the show builds a textured world of suspects, colleagues, and collateral damage. Reports and listings highlight:
- Aditya Rawal plays a key, sinister-leaning role tied closely to the murder investigation.
- Samara Tijori, part of the younger generation in the cast, adds emotional stakes as the case widens.
- Rahul Bhat, Ananth Mahadevan, Sandeep Kulkarni, Geeta Agrawal, Chinmay Mandlekar, and more fill out the cops, suspects, and authority figures that make or break Rita’s investigation.
Behind the camera, Daldal has a serious pedigree: it’s created by Suresh Triveni, produced by Abundantia Entertainment, directed by Amrit Raj Gupta, with Vikram Malhotra as producer, and a writing team that includes Sreekanth Agneeaswaran, Rohan D’Souza, Priya Saggi, and Hussain Haidry.
The series is also inspired by Vish Dhamija’s bestselling crime novel “Bhendi Bazaar,” which already has a built-in fanbase in the crime-fiction crowd.
Daldal Plot
The Daldal plot follows DCP Rita Ferreira, a Mumbai cop tasked with tracking down a brutal serial killer while wrestling with her own unresolved trauma and impostor syndrome.
Set against the dense, claustrophobic backdrop of Mumbai’s underbelly, the story leans heavily into psychological crime thriller territory, less about jump scares, more about tension, patterns, and the slow unravelling of both the hunter and the hunted.
Here’s the rough emotional terrain the show promises to explore:
- A string of grisly murders has shaken the city and turned the case into a media and political minefield.
- A corrupt and compromised system, where Rita has to fight institutional pressure, egos, and red tape while trying to read the killer’s mind.
- Rita’s inner battle, past events that haunt her, self-doubt about whether she’s really the right person for this job, and that sinking feeling of being in over her head even as everyone looks to her for answers.
Because it’s adapted from Bhendi Bazaar, you can expect layered plotting rather than a simple whodunnit. Multiple suspects, red herrings, and a killer whose psychology is as important as their identity seem baked into the DNA of the show.
Early coverage and the official synopsis promise an “edge-of-the-seat” feel, with the narrative mixing procedural beats (forensics, interrogations, crime scenes) with more introspective moments that dig into Rita’s headspace.
Honestly, Daldal sounds like the kind of series you don’t half-watch while scrolling your phone; it’s more “put the phone face down, notice the small clues, then message friends your theories at midnight” territory.
And if you’re someone who enjoys shows like Delhi Crime or international psychological thrillers that balance character and case with equal weight, this one is probably already on your weekend list.
