#Raakh on @PrimeVideo :
It didn’t just break my heart — it held up a mirror to every parent’s worst nightmare. As someone who sits with grief every single day, I went into Raakh expecting a well-made crime thriller. What I got was something far more devastating — and strangely, more hopeful.
Set in 1978 Delhi and inspired by the real-life Ranga-Billa horror that shook the nation, this 8-episode Prime Video series doesn’t just recreate a crime. It dissects what happens to a family, a city, and a young police officer when two teenagers vanish on an ordinary evening and the world turns to ash.
What hit me hardest (as a grief counselor): @iamsonalibendre performance as the mother is nothing short of extraordinary. She doesn’t “act” grief — she inhabits it. The quiet unraveling, the sudden rage, the way love and fury coexist in the same breath…
I saw pieces of real people I’ve counseled in her eyes. It’s the most honest portrayal of maternal loss I’ve seen on Indian screens in a long time.
@alifazal9 as SI Jayprakash Jatav is equally magnetic. He plays a man who refuses to let the system swallow the truth, even when it threatens to swallow him. His quiet determination feels both heroic and heartbreakingly human.
The writing (by Sandeep Saket & Anusha Nandakumar) and direction (Prosit Roy) are razor-sharp.
The real power of Raakh:It forces us to look at violence not as spectacle, but as something that destroys futures, families, and faith in one stroke. Yet, amid all the darkness, it also shows us glimmers of courage, compassion, and the stubborn refusal to let monsters win.
Trigger warning: This is heavy. Extremely heavy. If you’ve experienced loss or trauma, approach with caution.
Rating: 4.5/5 (but emotionally? 10/10. It will stay with you.)

If you got a choice to choose a girl of your life, who would it be?
An Actress(hollywood or bollywood), a cricketer, a youtuber, your school, college or office crush or a girl you see on pedestrian, 🚶, train, bus or anything.
Men using Instagram’s AI restyle feature with golden-hour-soft-boy-core filter and emerging looking like an indie-pop album cover is where I draw the line.
Brother, why are you being a diva?
Go hunt. Gather. Build a shed. Fix a fence. Chase a mammoth. Do literally anything else.
Rashmika Mandanna did an interview with Pinkvilla.
She said: I have turned vegetarian. I work out every day and care more about my health.
But the same Rashmika also did an advertisement for McDonald’s non-veg meal. Even McDonald’s had to turn off the comments on YouTube video because of this.
WOWOWOW.
