Dhamaka: Trailer of Kartik Aaryan's film is intriguing

Ram Madhvani’s Dhamaka starring Kartik Aaryan, Mrunal Thakur, and Amruta Subhash is all set to premiere on Netflix on 19th November 2021, and on Tuesday (19), the trailer of the film was released.

Netflix India tweeted the trailer and wrote, “Keep calm and put your Bharosa in Arjun Pathak. #Dhamaka is loading Arriving on Netflix - 19th November. #DhamakaOnNetflix @TheAaryanKartik @RamKMadhvani @amita_madhvani @ronniescrewvala @mrunal0801 @AmrutaSubhash @StrictlyVikas @vishfulfilled @PuneetVuneet #ManuAnand.”


The trailer of Dhamaka is amazing. It will keep you hooked from the first scene to the last one. Aaryan is simply excellent in the trailer, and even Thakur and Subhash leave a strong mark. Also, the background score in the trailer is damn good.

Dhamaka is an adaptation of the Korean movie The Terror Live (2013). The movie starred Ha Jung-woo in the lead role and he had won a couple of awards for his performance in the film.

Well, Aaryan has proved his mettle in comedy movies, but this will be for the first time when we will get to see him in a proper dramatic film.

Madhvani has earlier helmed Neerja (movie) and Aarya (web series). He got the best out of Sonam Kapoor (Neerja) and Sushmita Sen (Aarya), and it looks like in Dhamaka he has got the best out of Aaryan.

  • 2025 marks the start of long-form mythological world-building on OTT.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
