Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders teaser out
The teaser of Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders is set in Kanpur, where the well-known Bansal family, from the heart of Uttar Pradesh, is mercilessly murdered in their mansion. Then comes Jatil Yadav, who promises to uncover the dark truth. Without giving up hope, he becomes entangled in a web of power, deceit, blind faith, and long-buried secrets.
Sharing the teaser on Instagram, the makers captioned it, "Inspector Jatil ka raat ke andhere se purana rishta hai, lekin Bansal Murders ka case aur bhi gehra hai."
Nawazuddin Siddiqui on returning as Jatil Yadav
Speaking about his character, who is making a return to Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, Siddiqui said, “Returning as Jatil Yadav feels like revisiting a part of myself that never left. This film takes him to places he’s never been, emotionally and morally. To see it premiere at IFFI before it reaches audiences worldwide on Netflix is truly special.”
Meanwhile, Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders is going to have its world premiere at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa.
Director Honey Trehan opened up about the sequel and said that with Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, they have gone deeper into the world they built with Raat Akeli Hai.
"This film explores the price of truth and the corruption of conscience, with the stakes higher than ever as Jatil now has to unravel a mass murder. Working with Netflix again allowed us to tell this story with complete honesty and scale, delivering a thriller that grips you emotionally as much as it shocks you," he said.
Speaking about the IFFI premiere, he added, “IFFI has always been a space that celebrates authentic storytelling, and it’s an honour for our film to have its first screening here."
He also said that this story is darker, more introspective, and far more personal; it’s an edge-of-the-seat whodunit, about battling mysticism and influence to uncover the truth. "With Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, we wanted to take the world we built earlier and push it into a deeper emotional terrain, where deceit, silence, and power collide in unexpected ways," Trehan added.
