Amazon Prime Video has recently released the highly anticipated series "Andhera," a supernatural horror-investigation drama that promises to push the boundaries of genre storytelling in India. The series, produced in collaboration with Excel Entertainment, is directed by Raaghav Dar and features an ensemble cast including Priya Bapat, Karanvir Malhotra, and Prajakta Koli. "Andhera" follows Inspector Kalpana Kadam and Jay Sheth as they delve into the disappearance of a young woman, ultimately uncovering a sinister force lurking beneath Mumbai's glamorous exterior.

The series, which premiered exclusively on Amazon Prime Video on August 14, 2025, blends investigative drama with supernatural horror. The executive producer, Kassim Jagmagia, of Excel Entertainment, expressed excitement about the collaboration with Prime Video, stating, "With Andhera, we wanted to push the boundaries of genre storytelling in India. This isn’t just a supernatural thriller—it’s a layered narrative about fear, power, and the human psyche" [1].

"Andhera" received mixed reviews, with some critics praising its atmospheric start and strong performances, particularly Priya Bapat's portrayal of Inspector Kadam. However, the series faced criticism for its cluttered subplots and forced romantic angles, which diluted the core horror and mystery threads. The show's ambitious narrative and overreliance on visual effects in the later episodes were cited as reasons for its uneven pacing and loss of tension [2].

Despite the mixed reception, "Andhera" showcases the growing potential of Indian streaming content to attract global audiences. The series' focus on urban horror and its exploration of psychological themes are likely to resonate with viewers seeking unique and thought-provoking entertainment.
