Murder isn’t new. But silence, the kind that weighs heavily in the room, cloaked in dread, that’s what this trailer thrives on. Search: The Naina Murder Case, directed by Rohan Sippy, isn’t here to entertain you. It’s here to haunt you.
What begins as another brutal killing — a teenage girl, lifeless, surrounded by questions — quickly spirals into a slow, sinking descent into people’s private ruins. Secrets, stitched neatly into society’s fabric, start to come undone.
Konkona Sen Sharma, as ACP Sanyukta Das, doesn’t play the hero. She carries exhaustion like a badge. A woman about to move departments, hoping to resuscitate her marriage, until one last case pins her down. Her presence is still, but unmissable. No theatrics. Just piercing honesty.
Opposite her is Surya Sharma, ACP Jai Kanwal. Young, jittery, and not yet trained in the art of holding back. There’s something raw about him. Like he’s still figuring out what the uniform allows him to become. Their equation? Cold. Controlled. Tense in all the right ways.
The trailer doesn’t yell to get attention. It breathes slowly. Each frame laced with discomfort. You don’t get answers, just enough clues to know that truth won’t come easy here. Not in this town. Not with these people.
Produced by Applause Entertainment and Highgate Entertainment, in association with Applause Production, the series doesn’t flash its scale. It leans into shadow. Morally and visually. Everyone looks guilty. And maybe they are.
But this isn’t just about solving a case. It’s about everything we hide to stay afloat. The lies we tell ourselves, and the ones we feed others to keep the machine running. It’s about how truth becomes a negotiation. And how justice, whatever that word means anymore, often arrives too late.
Search: The Naina Murder Case starts streaming October 10 on JioHotstar. It looks like a slow bleed, and that’s precisely what makes it worth watching.
