Meghna Gulzar’s Daayra Set for September 18 Release

The confirmed date kicks off a social‑media behind‑the‑scenes rollout and raises the prospect of a box‑office clash with another September release.

Overview

  • The makers announced the theatrical release date on Thursday, June 18, and lead actress Kareena Kapoor Khan shared raw behind‑the‑scenes clips on Instagram to begin promotion.
  • Daayra is directed by Meghna Gulzar, written by Yash Keswani, Sima Agarwal and Gulzar, and produced by Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios.
  • Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran appear together on screen for the first time and portray police officers at the center of a high‑stakes investigation.
  • The film is billed as an investigative thriller inspired by true events that explores crime, justice and punishment without offering easy answers.
  • Industry outlets note a reported same‑day booking for Kunal Kemmu’s Vibe on September 18, which could prompt one production to change its release date if distributors seek to avoid a theatrical clash.
