Send Push

New Delhi If you’re brave enough to face spine-chilling horror after dark, ‘Adhoora’ might just be the perfect nightmare for your binge-watch list. Released in 2023 and streaming on Jio Cinema, this Indian horror web series blends psychological terror with supernatural mystery, earning critical praise and a solid 6.6/10 IMDb rating.

Featuring Ishwak Singh and Rasika Dugal in lead roles, Adhoora is a 7-episode supernatural thriller that dives deep into demonic possession, trauma, and haunting secrets that unfold inside a haunted school hostel.

What’s the Story of ‘Adhoora’?

Set inside a quiet school campus, the story begins when strange, violent incidents start occurring around a young boy who seems… off. The mystery intensifies as it becomes clear that the boy may be possessed by something far more sinister than anyone could imagine.

  • Children go missing.

  • Teachers begin to lose control.

  • A bloody shadow of evil looms over the hostel corridors.

The series unravels slowly but masterfully, mixing slow-burn suspense, jumpscares, and psychological horror, making it difficult to look away.

Why ‘Adhoora’ Stands Out in Indian Horror
  • Atmospheric horror: Instead of relying only on cheap thrills, Adhoora uses sound, light, and silence to build dread.

  • Strong performances: Rasika Dugal and Ishwak Singh deliver convincing performances that elevate the story beyond typical horror tropes.

  • Cultural depth: The show touches on trauma, guilt, and supernatural folklore in a uniquely Indian setting.

Fans have compared its eerie style to classic Western psychological thrillers while appreciating its desi horror undertones.

Where to Watch ‘Adhoora’?
  • Streaming Platform: Jio Cinema

  • Episodes: 7

  • IMDb Rating: 6.6/10

  • Language: Hindi (with subtitles available)

Grab your blanket, keep a Hanuman Chalisa nearby, and dim the lights if you dare to dive into Adhoora.
