Haiwaan Story
Haiwaan follows Shyam Rane, a visually impaired maintenance manager in a luxury Mumbai building whose heightened senses help him navigate daily life. He is close to retired Judge Pradhan, who once sent Parshuram Gokhale to prison. After Parshuram is released and seeks revenge, a murder in the building leaves Shyam wrongfully suspected, and he must use his senses to find the real killer and clear his name.
Like Blind Game (2026), another recent Hindi thriller built around a protagonist who must outthink a dangerous enemy, Haiwaan leans on tension, close observation and the secrets hidden inside one building.
