If you only know Madhuri Dixit for her romantic roles and graceful dance numbers, the Mrs. Deshpande trailer will blow your mind! The ‘Dhak Dhak Girl’ has officially transformed into the ‘Dark Dark Girl’.
Released on December 1st, this trailer has taken social media by storm. In this new psychological thriller series directed by Nagesh Kukunoor, Madhuri Dixit steps into the shoes of a Serial Killer, a role unlike anything she has done before.
Trailer Breakdown: What Makes ‘Mrs. Deshpande’ Special?
The trailer opens with Madhuri Dixit humming her iconic song “Bholi Si Surat” (Innocent Face), but the visuals are bone-chilling. Madhuri is seen chopping vegetables while a news bulletin about a serial killer plays on the radio.
Here is the premise: Mrs. Deshpande (Madhuri) has been serving a prison sentence for the last 25 years. Suddenly, a new killer emerges in the city, replicating Mrs. Deshpande’s exact murder style—a Copycat Killer.
Desperate for leads, the police are forced to seek help from the original killer (Madhuri). Madhuri agrees to assist, but on one condition:
“I will help, but only with my son.”
The twist? Her son (played by Siddharth Chandekar) is now a Police Detective who despises his mother.
Why You Should Watch This Series: Top 3 Reasons
- Madhuri’s Never-Seen-Before Avatar: For the first time in her illustrious 40-year career, Madhuri plays an out-and-out negative role. The coldness in her eyes is enough to send shivers down your spine.
- French Series Adaptation: This show is the official Indian adaptation of the famous French series ‘La Mante’, which was critically acclaimed worldwide for its gripping narrative.
- Nagesh Kukunoor’s Direction: Known for crafting masterpieces like Hyderabad Blues and Iqbal, Nagesh Kukunoor has a unique flair for handling thrillers, making this a promising watch.
A Battle of Minds and Morals
Beyond the suspense of the hunt, the series promises to explore a deeply fractured relationship that anchors the narrative. The dynamic between Mrs. Deshpande and her estranged son adds a layer of intense emotional conflict rarely seen in standard crime thrillers. As they are forced to collaborate, the son must confront the trauma of his past and the terrifying reality of his mother’s true nature. This psychological tug-of-war—where a son must rely on the very monster he hates to save innocent lives—is set to be the beating heart of the show, elevating it from a simple whodunit to a complex character study.
