REVIEW: 6 Chills & Thrills from Aami Dakini That’ll Make You Question Every Haunted Haveli Ever. Sony’s supernatural thriller Aami Dakini is back with a fresh twist, and let’s just say — the ghost is not here to play nice. The episode opens with the classic horror playbook: haunted haveli, clueless men, and an ancient spirit who’s definitely not a fan of uninvited guests.
Cue Torch. Enter Haveli. Meet Your Doom.
Two men walk into the haveli holding a fire torch — because apparently, that’s the only weapon against a centuries-old ghost. One of them has the brilliant idea to splash water on the wall, for reasons best known to him. His friend warns him, “Bro, this place is haunted!” But logic? What’s that?
The torch goes out — like every horror film ever — and surprise, surprise, our braveheart is greeted by none other than Dakini. She doesn’t wait for pleasantries and goes straight for the kill. First lesson: When someone says don’t go into the haunted mansion, don’t go into the haunted mansion.
🇮🇳 From London to Rajbari — Ayaan’s Homecoming Turns into a Horror Reel
Meanwhile, in Kolkata, Ayaan’s family is all excited to welcome their NRI babu back home. Thakuma is seen praying for his safe return while sprinkling a hint of guilt for past sins — because no Bengali horror tale is complete without some unresolved karma.
But plot twist: Ayaan decides to skip the warm hugs and laddoos, and heads straight to Rajbari, aka, haunted mansion headquarters. Thakuma freaks out like any good grandma would, sensing trouble the moment her third eye twitches.
Arnab, Ayaan’s father, plays the designated ghost-skeptic of the episode. He scoffs at Thakuma’s fears, claiming all ghost stories are nonsense and that his wife died because she believed in these very tales. Sir, have you seen your own show? Dakini just showed up and body-snatched a man in the first 2 minutes.
Rajbari: Where Childhood Memories and Demons Reside Together
Ayaan reaches Rajbari and gets nostalgic about his childhood with his late mother. Cue soft background music and slow-motion shots. But nostalgia doesn’t last long, as he spots a mysterious shadow — because obviously, ghosts love dramatic entrances.
The haveli’s watchman tries to be the voice of reason and stop Ayaan. But Ayaan fires him on the spot like he’s running a London startup, not realizing that you don’t fire the guy who knows where the ghost hides.
Dead Birds & Divine Warnings: Thakuma’s Spidey Senses Tingle
Just when things couldn’t get weirder, a dead bird falls on Thakuma’s car windshield — because birds dropping dead mid-air is always a great omen. She instantly knows Ayaan has entered the haveli and begins panicking again.
Back at the haunted haveli, Ayaan is busy having an emotional monologue in front of his mother’s portrait. Sweet, but sir… maybe check your surroundings?
Meena: Ghostbuster Meets Call Center Queen
We’re then introduced to Meena, a fiery customer care executive who moonlights as a protective elder sister. After handling a tech issue like a pro, she saves her sister Ishani from local goons with a sass level high enough to give Chudails an inferiority complex.
Meanwhile, their toxic neighbor tries to scare them off from attending the upcoming puja. Meena, however, has plans — she’s already plotting to move to Kolkata with her father. Smart girl. You know what’s scarier than ghosts? Small-town gossip aunties.
Kaput Portraits & Flying Shawls: Supernatural Chaos Begins
Back at Rajbari, Meena confronts Ayaan for firing her father. Ayaan defends himself, but right then, a portrait conveniently falls — clearly, the ghost believes in adding jump scares to awkward conversations.
Meena, like the savior she is, saves Ayaan from injury. And in a cinematic moment, a drop of blood falls from his wound, activating a mysterious voiceover: “Raja has arrived.”
Excuse us, but what Raja? Are we talking spirit king? Undead lover? Evil ex? The suspense is killing us.
Precap Hype: Flying Shawls & Haunted Wells
Just when you think this show can’t crank the horror dial any further, the precap shows Ayaan following a flying shawl into a dense forest. Yes, a flying shawl. Why? Because logic went out the window the moment the ghost showed up with a fire torch.
He ends up standing on a creepy old well, while Meena sees this and gasps in horror. If you’re getting The Ring flashbacks, you’re not alone.
Final Thoughts:
Aami Dakini is a wild ride of drama, horror, and unintentional comedy. It doesn’t hold back on the clichés — haunted mansions, ominous shadows, ancestral curses — but that’s exactly what makes it fun. The family drama is spicy, the horror is deliciously predictable, and the characters? Chaotic in the best way.
If you’re into ghost stories with a dash of sass and a sprinkle of chaos, this show’s your haunted cup of tea.
Catch the madness every night on Sony TV – and remember, if someone warns you about a Dakini, maybe, just maybe, listen to them.
