Raat Akeli Hai The Bansal Murders review: This Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Revathi thriller is eerie and engrossing

Published by Parlour News

It’s taken only five years for the makers of the acclaimed thriller Raat Akeli Hai to come up with a sequel, now with the added tagline ‘The Bansal Murders’. This establishes two things immediately: one, the team was in no hurry for the sake of eyeballs. Two, it gave them ample time to work on a genuinely interesting thriller. Nawazuddin Siddiqui gives a fine performance in the Netflix release. The premise Honey Trehan dons the director’s hat again to tell the story of the affluent Bansal family. Much like a murder of crows (that’s what you call a group of these intelligent birds) found dead by the family, they themselves meet the same fate. All were killed overnight, with their throats slit. And fingers are pointed at multiple people- a drug addict son, a mysterious godwoman (Deepti Naval) and an opportunistic relative (Sanjay Kapoor). Investigating the case is Inspector Jatil Yadav (Nawazuddin Siddiqui). How he solves it is the rest of the story. Movie Review Raat Akeli Hai-The Bansal Murders 3/5 It’s an OTT film, …
