Mumbai: The trailer of Daldal doesn’t waste time pulling you into its murky world—and at the center of it stands Samara Tijori, poised and quietly unsettling. Co-starring Bhumi Satish Pednekkar, the psychological thriller promises a slow-burn descent into moral ambiguity, secrets, and uncomfortable truths.
Based on Vish Dhamija’s novel Bhendi Bazaar, Daldal introduces Samara as a journalist navigating a terrain where facts are slippery and every revelation comes at a cost. The trailer hints at layered storytelling, sharp reversals, and an atmosphere thick with tension. Samara’s presence anchors the narrative—controlled, observant, and increasingly intense as the stakes rise.
While her lineage traces back to actor-director Deepak Tijori and designer Shivani Tijori, Daldal makes it clear that Samara is carving a space defined more by craft than by legacy. Trained at the Jeff Goldberg Acting Studio and disciplined in multiple dance forms, she brings a grounded physicality and restraint that suits the psychological genre.
From Bob Biswas, where she left a strong impression as Abhishek Bachchan’s daughter, to headlining the thriller Masoom opposite Boman Irani, Samara has steadily chosen roles that demand substance over spectacle. Daldal feels like a natural progression—darker, sharper, and more complex.
The buzz following the trailer release only amplifies the anticipation. Industry peers including Bhumi Satish Pednekkar, Zahaan Kapoor, Muskkaan Jaferi and Avantika Dassani have publicly praised Samara, signalling growing confidence in her choices and screen presence.
If the trailer is any indication, Daldal is less about easy answers and more about sinking deeper into uncomfortable questions—and Samara Tijori looks ready to lead audiences straight into the quicksand.
