About the First Season
Released in 2023, Dhootha follows the story of Sagar, a successful yet morally complex journalist whose life spirals into chaos after he begins receiving newspaper clippings that accurately predict tragic, often supernatural deaths.
As a series of mysterious crimes unfolds, Sagar becomes a suspect and is forced to uncover the chilling truth behind the predictions while confronting secrets from his past.
The first season featured a strong ensemble cast including Srikanth Murali, Prachi Desai, Anish Kuruvilla, Tharun Bhascker, Rohini, Tanikella Bharani and others in pivotal roles.
Created and directed by Vikram K. Kumar, the eight-episode thriller stood out for its atmospheric storytelling, haunting visuals by cinematographer Mikolaj Sygula, a gripping background score composed by Ishaan Chhabra and sharp editing by Naveen Nooli.
With production now underway and the core creative team returning, expectations are high for Dhootha Season 2 as it prepares to dive deeper into its eerie world of fate, mystery and the supernatural.
