A Cinematic Rollercoaster Arrives

Bollywood is bracing itself for an old-school entertainer as the trailer of Anurag Kashyap’s Nishaanchi finally drops. The film, set for a theatrical release on September 19, combines everything audiences love about Hindi cinema—action, emotions, romance, brotherhood, betrayal, and nostalgia of early 2000s masala films.

At its heart, Nishaanchi follows the story of two twin brothers, Babloo and Dabloo, played by debutant Aaishvary Thackeray, grandson of political icon Bal Thackeray. With his very first film, Aaishvary steps into a demanding double role that tests his range, as the trailer teases a tale of rebellion, transformation, and conflict in the gritty alleys of Uttar Pradesh.

What the Trailer Reveals

The trailer opens with gripping action sequences, high-speed chases, and moments drenched in intensity before shifting to tender snapshots of love, longing, and family bonds. It paints two sharply contrasting portraits of Babloo and Dabloo—one who follows the rules, and the other who constantly rebels against them.

The energy is heightened by retro-style dialogues, emotional beats around maa ka pyaar, and a soundtrack that echoes the mood of early 2000s Bollywood. Kashyap, known more for dark, experimental storytelling, steps into a new territory here by embracing larger-than-life drama. He himself has said that this is his “most cinematic film with a classic story at its centre.”

Aaishvary Thackeray on Playing Twins

For debutant Aaishvary, the project is more than just an acting assignment—it’s a test of adaptability. Reflecting on his experience, he admitted how playing twins who are emotionally and physically opposite challenged him profoundly.

“Acting and music are like Babloo and Dabloo for me—two different yet complementary parts of my personality,” he shared. Apart from embodying the brothers, Aaishvary has also lent his touch to the film’s soundtrack, making his debut even more multidimensional. He credited Anurag Kashyap for guiding him through every scene, helping him unlock nuances of performance.

The Team Behind Nishaanchi

Presented by Amazon MGM Studios India, the film is produced by Ajay Rai and Ranjan Singh under Jar Pictures and Flip Films. The supporting cast features Vedika Pinto, Monika Panwar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and Kumud Mishra, each adding layers to the intriguing small-town narrative.

The story of Nishaanchi has been co-written by Anurag Kashyap, Prasoon Mishra, and Ranjan Chandel, further grounding it in authentic cultural backdrops. The collaboration promises to offer equal measures of grit and grandeur, the two ingredients that often define enduring Bollywood blockbusters.

Why Nishaanchi Stands Out

More than being a debut vehicle for Aaishvary, Nishaanchi signals Kashyap’s ability to return to classic Hindi film grammar while still keeping the storytelling contemporary. Its double-role premise, the cocktail of action and emotion, and its nostalgic cinematic language could resonate with both older fans of Bollywood masala and younger audiences seeking fresh energy.

A Promise of Full-Blooded Entertainment

With its September 19 release, Nishaanchi is poised to deliver all that mainstream Bollywood promises—thrills, love, brotherhood, and raw drama—while also spotlighting a new face in Aaishvary Thackeray. For the young actor, this film represents courage and reinvention; for Anurag Kashyap, it marks a bold creative experiment.

If the trailer is anything to go by, audiences should gear up for a masala entertainer with heart, grit, and soul.
