Nawazuddin Siddiqui Shines in 'Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders' - A Gripping Whodunit

  • Honey Trehan's 'Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders' streams on Netflix, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Inspector Jatil Yadav.
  • Set in Kanpur, the film is praised for its gripping story, sustained tension, and logical climax, keeping viewers engaged.
  • The plot begins with an eerie warning to the powerful Bansal family, leading to mass murders and shifting suspicion, particularly towards Meera (Chitrangada Singh).
  • It creates an immersive atmosphere with cold spaces and shifting suspects, reminiscent of 'Knives Out' style, though the godwoman subplot feels underdeveloped.
  • Strong performances by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Chitrangada Singh, Rajat Kapoor, Sanjay Kapoor, and Revathy elevate the intelligent whodunit.

Why It Matters: A slow-burning, intelligent whodunit with strong performances and logical storytelling, making it a compelling watch.
