You remember the deeply human emotions. With Raakh, we wanted audiences to explore emotional spaces they wouldn’t expect from a crime thriller, because crime is not the only thing that happens in a crime story — it’s also about everything else it leaves in its wake. From the very beginning, we weren't interested in building a world that revolved solely around the mystery. We wanted to create a holistic emotional landscape around it—one that explored grief, guilt, love, anger, and the ways in which a single act can ripple through the lives of everyone it touches. For us, the most compelling question wasn't just 'Who did it?', but 'What does this do to the people left behind?'"</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/bharat-bhhagya-viddhaata-kangana-ranaut-s-film-wins-delhi-cm-rekha-gupta-s-praise-announces-tax-free-release-1781079500491"><strong>Kangana Ranaut's Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata wins Delhi CM Rekha Gupta's praise</strong></a></p><h2>About the series</h2><p><i>Raakh </i>is a fictional series directed and executive produced by Prosit Roy, and created, written and co-directed by Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket, along with dialogues by Ayush Trivedi.
