India has long been a land steeped in both faith and fear. It’s a place where belief in gods, miracles, and mantras intertwines with tales of curses, spirits, and black magic. This complex interplay between devotion and darkness is what Prerna Arora’s and Umesh KR Bansal’s upcoming film, Jatadhara, bravely sets out to explore. With the trailer now out, viewers are already captivated by its eerie yet thought-provoking vibe.
The trailer doesn’t merely hint at a supernatural thriller; it reflects a very real aspect of India’s spiritual landscape. The narrative of Jatadhara revolves around the legendary Lankebindelu, a treasure protected by sinister forces, and a group of seekers who dare to summon forbidden energies to claim it. What starts as a quest for wealth spirals into a chilling journey into the occult, highlighting how black magic continues to cast its shadow over lives even in today’s world.
In India, the belief in black magic isn’t just an old wives’ tale it’s a palpable fear. From quaint villages to bustling cities, stories of “jadoo-tona,” “tantrik vidya,” and spiritual manipulation still circulate in hushed tones. Jatadhara brings this hidden reality to light, not as mere fiction, but as a reflection of our world. Its visuals, chants, and overall energy feel disturbingly real as if they’re drawn straight from the rituals that have been practiced for centuries.
Speaking about the trailer launch, Prerna Arora shared- “Jatadhara isn’t just a film, it’s a reminder. The more people chase control through dark means, the more they lose their peace. Only divine faith can protect what black magic tries to destroy.”

Her vision goes beyond just what we see on screen with her initiative, Black Magic Mukt Bharat. This movement encourages people to shake off the chains of superstition and reconnect with their spiritual strength through Lord Shiva. The trailer’s final moments, highlighted by the powerful chant ‘Har Har Mahadev,’ drive this message home: even the darkest shadows can’t withstand the brilliance of divine light.
At the core of the story is a devoted follower of Shiva, an everyday man whose unwavering faith becomes his greatest weapon against the curse brought on by greed. His transformation from fear to surrender embodies the essence of Jatadhara: it’s not a tale of horror, but one of awakening. It reveals that black magic, despite its tempting allure, is simply a twisted version of the energy that the divine intended for healing.
It challenges us to consider why, in a country so devoted to its gods, faith can so easily tip into fear.
It questions how black magic continues to flourish, masquerading as tradition.
And most importantly, it reminds us that the only real power, the force that shatters illusion belongs to Lord Shiva, our eternal guardian against darkness.
The Jatadhara trailer may only offer a sneak peek, but it’s enough to spark a long-overdue conversation about belief, energy, and the unseen battle between light and shadow that continues to shape our reality.
