The first part of Nishaanchi — a two-part saga by Anurag Kashyap which had theatrical release in September, began streaming on November 14 on Prime Video. However, the streamer also threw a major surprise for all Kashyap fans by also releasing the 2nd part of Nishaanchi series, directly on their platform.
Starring Monika Panwar, Vedika Pinto, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Aaishvary Thackeray in leading roles, Nishaanchi tells the story of two brothers embroiled in a generational tale of oppression, violence, and never-ending search for redemption. Aishvary played the double role of twin brothers. Nishaanchi follows the twin brothers who share identical features but starkly different values — a story of brotherhood, betrayal, love, and redemption set against the backdrop of crime and punishment.
Part 1 introduces Manjari (Monika Panwar), a former trap sharpshooter, and her twin sons — Babloo and Dabloo (Aaishvary Thackeray). Drawn into Ambika Prasad’s (played by Kumud Mishra) gang, Babloo’s world spirals out of control when he falls in love with Rinku (Vedika Pinto), the daughter of a man he once killed, turning his life of crime into a battlefield of guilt and revenge. Part 2 continues the saga as Babloo seeks redemption but is pulled back into Ambika’s world, leading to an explosive finale where buried truths surface and justice takes its course.
Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals, Prime Video India, said, “With both parts premiering together on the service, viewers can experience the story in its entirety — an intense, emotional, and deeply layered narrative that reflects Anurag Kashyap’s bold and unfiltered filmmaking style.” Director Anurag Kashyap shared, “Nishaanchi is a story that has everything I’ve ever loved about Hindi cinema — emotion, intensity, chaos, action and lots of dramaIt’s a family saga. While Part 1 dives deep into the world of crime and the choices that define us, Part 2 is about punishment, redemption, and the price we pay for those choices.”
Anurag Kashyap co-wrote the film with Prasoon Mishra and Ranjan Chandel. Nishaanchi is produced by Ajay Rai and Ranjan Singj under the banner of Jar Pictures in association with Flip Films. Others in ensemble cast include Kumud Mishra, Viineet Kumar Singh.
