A chilling hush settles over Charandaspur, a town about to become the stage for a gripping, genre-defying crime saga. Mandala Murders, the upcoming mythological-crime thriller from YRF Entertainment, is set to premiere on Netflix on July 25, pulling viewers into a labyrinth where ancient secrets and modern crimes collide.
Created by Gopi Puthran, known for his work on the Mardaani franchise, and co-directed with Manan Rawat, Mandala Murders blends myth, mystery, and crime with a haunting narrative that keeps you guessing at every turn.
The series follows detectives Rea Thomas (Vaani Kapoor) and Vikram Singh (Vaibhav Raj Gupta) as they investigate a disturbing chain of ritualistic killings. What appears to be a series of unrelated crimes soon reveals a sinister pattern, leading them to a clandestine society where faith and fanaticism intertwine dangerously. Each symbol they decode unravels another thread in a conspiracy that has its roots buried deep within the town’s history.

Marking her digital series debut, Vaani Kapoor takes on a layered, intense role unlike any she has portrayed before, diving into the thriller and action genres with a performance that promises to be both gripping and transformative. She is joined by a stellar cast, including Vaibhav Raj Gupta, Surveen Chawla, and Shriya Pilgaonkar, each bringing depth to the mystery at the heart of the narrative.
Speaking about her role when the teaser was unveiled earlier this year, Vaani shared, “This project allowed me to explore a space I hadn’t ventured into before. It’s been exhilarating to navigate a world filled with suspense and unpredictability, always wondering what lies around the corner.”
Following the international acclaim for The Railway Men, this series continues the creative partnership between Netflix and Yash Raj Films, with Aditya Chopra, Uday Chopra, Yogendra Mogre, and Akshaye Widhani serving as executive producers. With its release lined up for late July, Mandala Murders is positioned to captivate audiences craving an intelligent thriller rooted in Indian myths while delivering edge-of-the-seat entertainment. Prepare to enter the shadowy alleys of Charandaspur, where every clue could unlock a prophecy waiting to change everything.
