“Kooki” Trailer Highlights: A Bold Take on Unresolved Issues of Rape and Justice

Starring Dipannita Sharma and Devoleena Bhattacharjee, this gripping film delves into the harrowing experiences of rape survivors

The haunting reality of rape is that while a victim may only physically die once, surviving the ordeal can mean dying a thousand deaths every day. “Kooki,” set to release on June 28, 2024, tackles this painful and often ignored reality with unflinching honesty. The trailer for “Kooki” offers a glimpse into a story that promises to be both heart-wrenching and thought-provoking, packed with unexpected twists and emotional punches.

The trailer opens with the harrowing interrogation of a rape victim, setting a somber tone that is soon contrasted by the light-hearted banter of a group of friends and hints of an innocent adolescent love story. The narrative takes a dark turn when a brutal rape sends a young girl to the hospital, sparking public outrage and a fervent demand for justice. The trailer ends with lingering questions, leaving viewers eager for more.

“Kooki” features an impressive ensemble cast, including renowned Indian television star Devoleena Bhattacharjee, along with Ritisha Kound, Reena Rani, Asha Chotani, Rajesh Tailang, Ritu Shivpuri, Dipannita Sharma, Bodhisattva Sharma, Bibhuti Bhushan Hazarika, Mrigendra Narayan, Manuj Borkotoki, Bandip Sharma, and Ujjwal Barua. These performances add depth to an already complex story.

The film’s soundtrack is equally compelling, with contributions from talented singers like Divya Kumar, Kritika Sharma, Mohammad Faiz, and Sunidhi Chauhan. Directed by Jai Viratra, “Kooki” is set to make a powerful impact when it hits theaters on June 28.
