Dharpakad Trailer

The trailer sheds light on a chilling aspect of modern-day cybercrime that is bound to strike fear into the hearts of the common man. It depicts how a normal family's world is turned upside down when they receive a phone call stating, 'Your son Arjun has been arrested.' The trailer begins by explaining that the internet is a vast web where we willingly share our personal data, which scammers exploit to identify their targets.

The sequences showing fake calls made in the name of the police, the helplessness of being trapped within one's own home, and the daylight robbery of lakhs of rupees under the guise of a 'Digital Arrest' are truly bone-chilling. Mallhar Thakar plays the role of a man who steps up to hunt down these invisible scammers, declaring, 'This isn't just a small theft; this is a very big game.'
