Now… the hunt begins.” The video sets a dark and suspenseful tone, hinting at an emotionally charged courtroom drama packed with mystery and intense confrontations.

One of the biggest highlights of the teaser is the character of Parimita Chowdhury, played by Elina Samantaray. The teaser showcases Parimita as a fearless woman fighting for justice for the character portrayed by Amlan Das.

The teaser further strengthens speculation that Shikar will blend suspense, emotional family drama, and legal battles into a layered narrative. The story revolves around a shocking family murder and the mystery surrounding the real culprit, with several characters trapped in a dangerous web of secrets and betrayal.
