Surveen Chawla leads with grit and grace in the trailer of Mandala Murders

Surveen Chawla returns to the screen with a fierce new avatar in Mandala Murders, a gripping female-led thriller that promises to be a landmark in India’s OTT landscape. Known for her commanding performances in Rana Naidu and Criminal Justice, Surveen raises the bar yet again, leading this dark, layered series with poise and raw intensity.

The newly released trailer reveals a story steeped in mystery, belief, and violence, where Surveen's character emerges as a determined investigator navigating a world riddled with secrets. From the very first frame, she exudes a magnetic presence — calm yet intense, vulnerable yet unyielding. It’s a performance that feels both deliberate and instinctive, rooted in emotional depth and unshakable strength.

Speaking about the project, Surveen said, “There was an immediate, energetic connection — the kind that tells you this is something special. It wasn’t just about the uniqueness of the story or how different it was from anything I’ve done before, but the sheer sense of surrender it asked for. Gopi sir is the embodiment of faith in his vision, and surrendering to the world he and Manan created was both instinctive and very special.”

Directed by Gopi Puthran, Mandala Murders promises more than just a crime thriller — it explores the psychological and spiritual aftermath of violence, making it both timely and timeless. The series features a powerful ensemble cast, but Surveen clearly stands at the center, driving the narrative with her nuanced portrayal.

What sets Mandala Murders apart is its refusal to follow formula. Instead, it dives deep into complex characters, slow-burning tension, and storytelling that prioritizes emotional truth over spectacle. With its moody visuals and sharp writing, the show is poised to be a genre-defining piece.

Surveen Chawla’s fearless choice of roles continues to reshape the landscape for female-led stories in India. With Mandala Murders, she doesn’t just lead the show — she redefines what leadership looks like on screen.
