About Gandhari
Gandhari revolves around a story of a mother who takes on a fierce and brutal fight to save her child who is abducted.
Netflix recently shared an introduction teaser of Gandhari in which Taapsee's voiceover says, “Kehte hain maa ki dua humesha saath chalti hai, lekin jab uski bachche par aati hai to kaali bhi wahi banti hai (It is said that a mother's blessings are always there with her children but if anyone tries to harm her child, she becomes Goddess Kaali).”
While sharing the teaser on its Instagram handle, the streaming platform captioned its post as, “The Hasseen writer-actor duo is back (fire emoji) Kanika Dhillon and Taapsee Pannu return with an action thriller. Gandhari arrives soon, only on Netflix.”
