Dayrathe crime thriller with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran, is heading to OTT.
It premieres on Netflix on November 13, giving people another chance to watch Meghna Gulzar’s film after its theatrical run. Netflix has listed the date on its official website.
The film came out in theatres in Hindi and Malayalam. Reports have hinted at other regional languages, but the confirmed Netflix listing calls it a Hindi thriller.
Dayra is inspired by real events. It begins with a brutal rape and murder that sparks public outrage. The case takes a sharp turn when four suspects are killed in a police encounter, and questions come up about whether the officers followed due process.
Prithviraj plays DCP Raman Kumar, the officer at the centre of the controversy. Kareena plays DCP Ajooni Kohli, who believes justice has to be delivered within the limits of the law.
Their clash over policing and justice drives the story, set against what the public wants, instant punishment, and what the law actually requires from the police.
Jitendra Joshi, Kanwaljit Singh, Achint Kaur, Anuja Sathe, Seema Azmi and Biswapati Sarkar are also in the cast.
Meghna Gulzar directed and co-wrote the film, which reunites her with Junglee Pictures, the banner behind her earlier films Talvar and Raazi.
