The trailer depicts how a normal family’s world is turned upside down when they receive a phone call stating, “Your son Arjun has been arrested.” It 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.” Director Anish Shah has woven more than just mystery into this crime thriller; he effectively portrays the helplessness and raw emotions of a middle-class family. The fresh pairing of Mallhar Thakar and Shruhad Goswami serves as a major highlight, backed by powerful performances from veteran actors like Prashant Barot, Pratik Rathod, and Jay Bhatt, who add significant depth to the narrative.

After watching the trailer, audiences are left with a burning question: Will the family be able to escape this intricate web of deceit? Beyond entertainment, the core objective of the film is to spread social awareness.

‘Dharpakad’ is not just a cinematic experience; it is a vital warning for every smartphone user.

Expected to be a turning point for Gujarati cinema, the film arrives in theatres on May 15.
