The trailer of Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders dropped on December 9, 2025, pulling audiences straight back into a world of shadows, secrets, and unsettling silence. Directed by Honey Trehan and written by Smita Singh, the crime-thriller revisits the chilling universe of the original film while introducing an even darker mystery hidden within the towering walls of the Bansal mansion. This time, the stakes are higher, the lies are thicker, and every surviving member of the wealthy Bansal family appears to be guarding a secret soaked in fear.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui returns as Inspector Jatil Yadav—older, war-torn, and sharper than ever. The trailer positions Jatil as a man who has aged with experience but refuses to let go of his relentless pursuit of the truth. Called in to investigate a mass murder behind locked doors, Jatil enters the mansion only to find himself in a labyrinth where every clue feels like bait and every truth comes at a cost. As Nawazuddin notes, “Jatil may have evolved in every way, but his resolve is exactly the same. His objectivity, his razor-sharp eye for detail, and his ability to cut through noise remain his greatest weapons.”
The ensemble cast—Chitrangada Singh, Radhika Apte, Deepti Naval, Ila Arun Bajpai, Revathy Asha Kelluni, Rajat Kapoor, Sanjay Kapoor, Priyanka Setia, Shridhar Dubey, and Akhilendra Mishra—makes the mystery even more gripping. Each character appears as though they are balancing on the edge of guilt and grief, with expressions that hide far more than they reveal.
Chitrangada Singh stands out in the trailer with her haunting portrayal of Meera—a woman seemingly composed yet cracking beneath the weight of secrets. She describes the role as one of her most demanding: “There is a sense of fragility and toughness all at once. This character lives in shadows—emotional, moral, and psychological.”
Every frame hints at a narrative overflowing with twists, betrayals, and concealed truths. Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders promises a mystery where every answer births a new question, and nothing is what it appears to be. The thriller begins streaming on Netflix on December 19, 2025.
