Brace yourselves for a dark descent into the psyche of violence — Human Cocaine, an intense Hindi thriller starring Pushkar Jog, Ishita Raj, Siddhanth Kapoor, and Zakir Hussain, has officially been cleared by the CBFC with an ‘A’ certificate on 29 September 2025. The film will hit theatres on 16 January 2026, and if its tagline — “No one is born violent, the world makes them that way” — is anything to go by, audiences should expect a raw, unsettling experience.
Directed by debutant Sarim Momin and produced by Chee Teng Joo and Harit Desai, Human Cocaine dives into the moral and emotional breakdown of modern society. Despite its provocative title, the makers have issued a clear disclaimer: the film does not promote substance use. Instead, it uses “cocaine” as a metaphor for the intoxicating nature of rage, greed, and survival in a world that corrupts innocence.
The character posters offer a glimpse into the madness: Pushkar Jog appears bloodied yet defiant, Ishita Raj exudes a dangerous mystique, Siddhanth Kapoor channels a cold urban menace, and Zakir Hussain’s weathered expression hints at pain buried deep beneath violence. Together, they paint a portrait of fractured humanity struggling to stay sane in an unforgiving cityscape.
Backed by Scarlet Slate Studios, Vinelight Ltd, Textstep Services Pvt. Ltd, and Goosebumps Entertainment, Human Cocaine aims to stand out as a thinking person’s thriller — one that asks not who the monster is, but what created it.
January 16, 2026 — mark the date. This isn’t just another crime drama; it’s a mirror held up to the world that made us.
