Actors at the Trailer Launch Event

Netflix unveiled the gripping trailer of its crime-thriller franchise Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders in a star-studded launch event attended by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Chitrangada Singh, Deepti Naval and Sanjay Kapoor, whose presence added to the excitement surrounding the sequel.

About the Sequel

The second installment marks director Honey Trehan’s return, with writer Smita Singh once again shaping the screenplay. Produced by RSVP and MacGuffin Pictures, the film brings back Nawazuddin Siddiqui as the sharp, no-nonsense Inspector Jatil Yadav, supported by a stellar ensemble cast including Chitrangada Singh, Rajat Kapoor, Deepti Naval, Ila Arun, Revathy, Akhilendra Mishra, Priyanka Setia, Sanjay Kapoor and Radhika Apte.

Story and Timeline

Set a few years after the events of the 2020 original, the sequel follows Jatil Yadav as he tackles a chilling cold-blooded murder that unravels long-buried secrets of a powerful family. As the investigation deepens, he is forced to confront the ever-delicate line between truth and consequence.

World Premiere Announcement

The film is set to have its World Premiere at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Goa, this November, ahead of its streaming release on Netflix.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui on Returning as Jatil Yadav

Nawazuddin shared, “Jatil Yadav is a character very close to me… coming back feels like returning to unfinished business.”

Why the Sequel Stands Out

With atmospheric tension, layered storytelling and commanding performances, Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders expands the legacy of the original while raising the bar for Indian crime thrillers.
