The first look of Sundar Poonam, starring Sanya Malhotra and Aditya Rawal, has been unveiled, offering a glimpse into a crime thriller inspired by a real-life incident.
The film draws from the 2025 honeymoon murder case, involving the killing of an Indore-based businessman during a trip to Meghalaya shortly after marriage.
Sanya Malhotra plays Poonam, a bride in a blood-red lehenga, adorned with traditional jewellery, as seen in the first visuals.
The imagery then shifts, showing her applying lipstick and smiling at herself in the mirror, with a mobile phone flashing multiple names, hinting at hidden identities and a layered narrative.
The teaser is backed by a fictional news report that sets up the story, with a voiceover in Hindi detailing the disappearance of Sundar and Poonam, a newly married couple, during their honeymoon in Kashmir.
According to the film’s synopsis, what begins as an idyllic honeymoon soon turns into a mystery, as the couple’s disappearance uncovers disturbing truths about Poonam.
The first look also carries the line, “Inspired by true events that actually happened,” along with the hook, “Guilt is such a useless emotion,” pointing to the film’s psychological undertones.
