While Amazon MGM Studios India ignited excitement with the trailer of Nishaanchi, the film has hit the right cords with critics. Blending action, drama, and comedy in equal measure, the film offers a gripping, high-octane ride packed with adrenaline-fueled sequences and sharp humor, true to Anurag Kashyap’s signature style. The film also introduces Aaishvary Thackeray in a striking debut performance. While the film is a power-packed entertainment bomb, let’s look at some hidden details that add to the reasons for watching it.
Young Kumud Mishra’s voice dubbed by Kumud Mishra himself
Kumud Mishra is indeed an exceptional talent who has always left a strong mark on screen. In Nishaanchi, while he plays the titular role of Ambika Prasad, he has also dubbed the voice for his younger version, portrayed by Girish Sharma. This speaks volumes about the perfection he brings to his character, right from its formative years, and makes the audience feel connected throughout the journey in the film.
Yet another sports-related character by Vineet Kumar Singh
Vineet Kumar Singh is an incredible talent who has once again played a sports-related character. Having previously aced similar roles in films like Mukkabaaz and Gold, he steps into a familiar space in Nishaanchi. As Zabardast Pehelwaan, Vineet delivers an absolutely exceptional performance.
An amazing performance by Monika Panwar
Monika Panwar takes on the role of Manjari, Aaishvary Thackeray’s mother. Known for her stellar performances in Khauf, Jamtara, Dukaan, Mast Mein Rehne Ka, and many more, she continues her streak of excellence in this film as well.
The detailing of the weapons
The design of the Nishaanchi shooter’s weapons is inspired by real historical insignias, giving the film’s title and central object a symbolic edge. This speaks volumes about the attention to detail Anurag Kashyap has maintained in every aspect. It brings authenticity to the storytelling and makes the film even more visually captivating.
Music and folklore-inspired elements echoed in the dialogues
Remaining authentic across various aspects—from music to dialogues, the film beautifully weaves folklore into its narrative. The theme is not only reflected in the soundtrack but also echoed in the dialogues, making the audience even more engrossed in its fervor.
Moreover, Nishaanchi marks the powerful acting debut of Aaishvary Thackeray, who will be seen in a high-octane double role, starring alongside Vedika Pinto, Monika Panwar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and Kumud Mishra in pivotal roles.
Produced by Ajay Rai and Ranjan Singh under the banner of Jar Pictures, in association with Flip Films, Nishaanchi is directed by Anurag Kashyap and written by Prasoon Mishra, Ranjan Chandel, and Anurag Kashyap.
Get ready for bullets, betrayal, and brotherhood as Nishaanchi was released theatrically on 19 September 2025.
