Directed by Honey Trehan and written by Smita Singh, Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders returns to the universe first introduced in Raat Akeli Hai, bringing back Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Inspector Jatil Yadav, the sharp, uncompromising investigator now facing one of his darkest and most complex cases yet. And we have the brand new trailer for the film that releases on Netflix on December 19th!
Produced by RSVP and MacGuffin Pictures, the film boasts a powerful ensemble featuring Radhika Apte, Chitrangda Singh, Deepti Naval, Rajat Kapoor, Revathy, Ila Arun, Sanjay Kapoor, and Akhilendra Mishra, each adding layers of intrigue and emotional depth to the narrative.
Set in Kanpur, the story begins when the affluent and well-known Bansal family from the heart of Uttar Pradesh is found brutally murdered in their mansion. Jatil Yadav is drawn into a web of power, deception, blind faith, and long-buried secrets, where every suspect hides a motive and every revelation peels back another layer of darkness.
Director Honey Trehan, reflecting on the sequel, said, “With Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, we’ve gone deeper into the world we 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.”
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, marking a powerful return in one of his most celebrated roles shared, “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.”
The director added, “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.”
