Nishaanchi out on OTT: Here's where you can stream Anurag Kashyap's two-part crime drama

Today, November 14, crime drama fans may see Nishaanchi Part 1 and Part 2 exclusively on Prime Video (subscribers of OTTplay Premium will also be able to watch the show with a top-up), allowing them to witness filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's whole and unfiltered vision. After Part 1's limited theatrical run in September 2025, this dual release will allow fans to immerse themselves in the entire two-part story of crime, consequences, and redemption.

Creative team and Aaishvary Thackeray's debut

Prasoon Mishra, Ranjan Chandel, and Anurag Kashyap worked together on the screenplay for the film, which features Kashyap's characteristic brutal and powerful storytelling. Aaishvary Thackeray had a strong acting debut in the project, playing a tough dual part.

Nishaanchi is divided into two parts and follows the lives of twin brothers Babloo and Dabloo, played by Thackeray, in his debut feature. A powerful story of brotherhood, treachery, and justice unfolds as identical twins with radically divergent moral compasses emerge.

Entanglement in criminal underworld

Mother Manjari (Monika Panwar), a former sharpshooter, and her twin sons provide an introduction to the criminal underworld in the first part of the series. The local crime gang headed by Ambika Prasad (Kumud Mishra) entangles the ambitious and fiery twin Babloo. Rinku, played by Vedika Pinto, is the daughter of a man he helped murder, and their romantic involvement further complicates his already convoluted life. This twist propels his criminal existence into an internal struggle between remorse and vengeance.

The sequel to the high-stakes story continues. The story follows Babloo as he tries to make amends while being dragged back into Ambika Prasad's clutches. An explosive conclusion reveals long-hidden truths and clears the way to justice, climaxing the film. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Viineet Kumar Siingh are also important members of the ensemble cast.

Anurag Kashyap's personal vision and themes

To emphasise the project's personal importance, Anurag Kashyap said that Nishaanchi is a story that has everything he's ever loved about Hindi cinema—emotion, intensity, chaos, action, and lots of drama. He highlighted the contrasting themes of the two halves, saying that Part 1 dives deep into the world of crime and the choices that define them, while Part 2 is about punishment, redemption, and the price they pay for those choices.

In keeping with Kashyap's reputation for unvarnished, character-driven storytelling, the entire film offers an intense cinematic experience supported by powerful dialogues and an evocative soundtrack.
