Neeyat Trailer: Setting And Characters Of Vidya Balan’s Intriguing Murder Mystery Reminds Us Of Knives Out!
Fingers crossed!
Suspense murder mysteries with a gripping storyline and impressive characters are a deadly combination that never goes wrong. In India, there are few films that deal with this kind of plot. And therefore, I was really looking forward to Anu Menon’s Neeyat trailer especially after the posters were dropped. A murder mystery starring Vidya Balan in the lead role as a detective with 10 other characters who are the prime suspects looked kaafi intriguing from the posters. The trailer of this not-so-classic detective story is finally here and it kinda reminds me of some other movies too!

The first impression of Anu Menon’s Neeyat instantly reminded me of the popular Hollywood film Knives Out. The trailer gives you many hints of what to expect from this murder mystery. The plot is based on a Billioniare’s (Ram Kapoor) birthday party, the attendees of which are just a few close friends and families. Vidya Balan plays the role of a detective who will investigate an unexpected murder scene that happens at this party. Apart from these actors, we also see other characters in the trailer played by Rahul Bose, Prajakta Koli, Neeraj Kabi, Amrita Puri, Shahana Goswami, Niki Walia, Dipanita Sharma, Shashank Arora, Danesh Razvi and Ishika Mehra. All 10 actors are playing the suspects in this murder mystery. The trailer looks intense and some elements of suspense are also shown at a glimpse. The costumes and setting of this film look very much inspired by Daniel Craig’s Knives Out.

All the actors in the film look promising in their roles, however, the only fear here is that it might raise comparisons with the OG murder mystery thriller Knives Out. The makers have done a great job in making the trailer believable and intriguing with the characters and dark setting. We hope this Anu Menon film stands up to our expectations. It will release in theatres on July 7 and will then release on Prime Video too, so fingers crossed!
