Mrs. Deshpande premieres on December 19, 2025, exclusively on JioHotstar, offering audiences a dark and refreshing new avatar of Madhuri Dixit in a story where every clue, every emotion, and every revelation matters.
Madhuri Dixit made her OTT debut with The Fame Game (2022) on Netflix, where she played Anamika Anand, a glamorous yet troubled superstar whose mysterious disappearance unravels hidden secrets about her life and family. The same year, she appeared in Maja Ma on Amazon Prime Video, a warm yet bold film in which she portrayed Pallavi Patel, a devoted mother whose personal truth shakes up everything around her.
Both roles showcased a more layered, mature, and emotionally complex side of Madhuri, setting the stage for her transition into darker, more intense roles like Mrs. Deshpande.
