Amazon MX Player has rolled out the trailer for its upcoming revenge drama Ab Hoga Hisaab, setting the stage for a free streaming premiere on 18 June 2026. Fronted by Sanjay Kapoor, Shaheer Sheikh and Mouni Roy and set against the backdrop of Punjab, the series leans into a dark tale of brotherhood, betrayal and retribution, and marks the streaming debut of actor Avinash Mishra.

A story of two brothers

The narrative follows brothers Bobby and Bunty Manocha, played by Shaheer Sheikh and Avinash Mishra. Their lives unravel after Bunty vanishes following a confrontation with a powerful figure named Goldy, portrayed by Sanjay Kapoor. As disappearances pile up and accusations spread, Bobby is pulled into an increasingly dangerous hunt for his brother and the truth behind the cases.

Cast and production

Produced by Arré Studio, the series rounds out its ensemble with Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, Harman Singha and Aasheema Vardaan. The trailer positions Kapoor in a menacing antagonist turn, a casting note that has drawn early attention as the show pitches itself into the crowded space of regionally rooted crime dramas on streaming.

  • Streaming launch: 18 June 2026 on Amazon MX Player, free to watch.
  • Lead cast: Sanjay Kapoor, Shaheer Sheikh and Mouni Roy.
  • Marks the OTT debut of actor Avinash Mishra.
  • Set in Punjab and produced by Arré Studio.
  • Plot follows brothers caught in a spiral of disappearances and revenge.

Riding the free-streaming model

By launching on a free, ad-supported platform, Ab Hoga Hisaab targets a mass audience beyond the subscription tier, a strategy that has helped regional-flavoured thrillers find scale. The Punjab setting and a brotherhood-driven revenge hook fit a template that has performed well with viewers who gravitate to grounded, high-stakes crime stories.

With its trailer now in circulation, the series enters a busy mid-June streaming window where it will compete for eyeballs against several high-profile releases. Its reception will test whether the free-to-watch model can turn a regional revenge drama into a breakout title.

The NE Times View

A free, ad-supported launch underlines how the streaming battle has shifted from subscriptions to reach, with Punjab-set revenge dramas a reliable draw for that audience. The NE Times View: giving an established TV face like Avinash Mishra an OTT debut on a no-paywall platform is a smart audience-building play, though the genre's familiarity means the writing, not the bloodletting, will determine whether it stands out.
