Bandwaale OTT release set for February.
The upcoming Bandwaale Prime Video series has unveiled its trailer, offering a glimpse into a small-town story powered by music, poetry and friendship. Created and written by Ankur Tewari and Swanand Kirkire, and directed by Akshat Verma and Tewari, Bandwaale places creativity at the heart of its narrative.
A story of art and identity
Set in Ratlam, Bandwaale follows Mariam, played by Shalini Pandey, a young poet who quietly shares her work online while grappling with questions of freedom and belonging. Her world expands when she teams up with Robo and DJ Psycho, portrayed by Zahan Kapoor. Together, they chase the possibility of a life shaped by art rather than limitation.
Music is not just background here. With original compositions by Yashraj Mukhate, marking his first long-form series as composer, and poetry by Kausar Munir, the show treats sound and verse as emotional anchors. The ensemble also includes Swanand Kirkire, Ashish Vidyarthi, Anupama Kumar and Sanjana Dipu in key roles.

Zahan Kapoor and Shalini Pandey on Bandwaale
Speaking about Bandwaale, Zahan Kapoor, the actor, described DJ Psycho as a guarded yet deeply emotional character who expresses himself through beats rather than words. He hinted at a layered arc where past shadows resurface just as new connections begin to take root.
Shalini Pandey's character centres on Mariam’s quiet defiance. The actor shared that poetry becomes her character’s most honest refuge, allowing her to navigate the tension between personal truth and social expectation.
Produced by OML Entertainment, the musical series will premiere on Prime Video on February 13.
