Amazon MX Player will premiere *Ab Hoga Hisaab*, a revenge drama set in Punjab, on June 18, 2026 — free for all viewers in India. The series, produced by Arré Studio, follows two NRI brothers whose lives collapse when the younger one vanishes after crossing paths with a dangerous man named Goldy Sekhon, according to Variety.
The cast features Shaheer Sheikh, Sanjay Kapoor, and Mouni Roy, with Avinash Mishra making his streaming debut as the missing brother Bunty. Amazon MX Player shared the trailer on June 12 with the caption: "apno ka, sapno ka, aur kuch sawaalon ka hisaab hone jaa raha hai," per ANI News via Yahoo.
Brothers, a Kidnapping, and a Trafficking Conspiracy
The story begins with Bobby Manocha working hard to send his younger brother Bunty to Canada. That dream dies fast. Bunty disappears after an encounter with Goldy Sekhon, a powerful and dangerous figure played by Sanjay Kapoor. Bobby then launches a dangerous hunt to find him, according to Variety.
As Bobby digs deeper, the trail leads to a human-trafficking syndicate hiding behind fake Canada immigration promises — a fictional echo of real "kabootarbaazi" smuggling rings that prey on Punjab families desperate for a better life abroad. Inspector Dosanjh, played by Harman Singha, helps Bobby as the danger grows, per Indian Broadcasting World.
A Star-Driven Cast With One Notable First
Shaheer Sheikh plays Bobby as a quietly deported NRI driven by loyalty. Sheikh said he was drawn to Bobby's "unwavering sense of loyalty towards the people he loves." Sanjay Kapoor described the show's world as "layered, unpredictable, and full of twists," according to Adgully.
Avinash Mishra, who plays the missing Bunty, calls this project "especially meaningful" — it is his first streaming role. Mouni Roy plays Kamna, a character tied to both the investigation and the emotional heart of the series. Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia and Aasheema Vardaan round out the ensemble, per Newsy Today.
Free-to-Watch Strategy Targets India's Mass OTT Market
Amazon MX Player runs on an AVOD model — meaning viewers watch for free and ads pay the bill. Amazon merged its miniTV service with MX Player assets in late 2024, reaching a combined 250 million unique users. The platform now competes directly with JioCinema for India's massive free-streaming audience, according to Indian Broadcasting World.
Director and head of content Amogh Dusad said the show is "a gripping story of brotherhood, revenge, and complex emotions," adding, "We aim to connect with audiences nationwide through free, culturally resonant content." Arré Studio CEO Namit Sharma called it "an emotionally driven drama that explores relationships, loyalty, and the choices that shape lives," per Adgully.
Punjab as Backdrop Signals a Push Into Tier-2 Cities
By rooting the story in Punjab's culture and the "Canada Dream," Amazon is aiming at Tier-2 and Tier-3 Indian cities. These markets are expected to drive 60% of OTT growth by 2030. Early trailer reactions praised the "gritty, non-glamorized" depiction of Punjab, a contrast to more polished Bollywood portrayals, per Variety.
The Indian OTT market is projected to reach $5.8 billion by 2034, growing at roughly 14.56% per year. With subscriptions still making up 64% of current revenue, platforms like Amazon MX Player are betting that premium free content can unlock the next wave of ad dollars — and loyal users, according to Adgully.
