Netflix's much-awaited crime thriller Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders will have its world premiere at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, which the film will gear up for its global release on Netflix on 19th December, inviting audiences worldwide to step into a gripping noir world as a shocking case unravels, and Jatil is pushed into a maze where every step is uncertain and the truth is anything but simple
Directed by Honey Trehan and written by Smita Singh, the film returns to the universe first introduced in Raat Akeli Hai, bringing back Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Inspector Jatil Yadav, the sharp, uncompromising investigator now facing one of his darkest and most complex cases yet.
Produced by RSVP and MacGuffin Pictures, the film boasts a powerful ensemble featuring Radhika Apte, Chitrangda Singh, Deepti Naval, Rajat Kapoor, Revathy, Ila Arun, Sanjay Kapoor, and Akhilendra Mishra, each adding layers of intrigue and emotional depth to the narrative.
Set in Kanpur, the story begins when the affluent and well-known Bansal family from the heart of Uttar Pradesh is found brutally murdered in their mansion. Jatil Yadav is drawn into a web of power, deception, blind faith, and long-buried secrets, where every suspect hides a motive and every revelation peels back another layer of darkness.
Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director, Original Films, Netflix India, said, Raat Akeli Hai, The Bansal Murders is a distinct blend of suspense and emotion that stirs something primal. Honey Trehan, who made a striking directorial debut with the first in this franchise, returns to raise the stakes with a mystery that is more ambitious in scale, layered in character and grounded in emotional truth. Developed in collaboration with our long-standing partners RSVP and MacGuffin Pictures, the film brings back Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Inspector Jatil Yadav, whose quiet strength and complexity continue to resonate. Backed by a stellar ensemble, this new whodunit delivers the intrigue audiences loved, while building on the mood and world that first drew them in, with an entirely new case.
Director Honey Trehan, reflecting on the sequel, said, With Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, we've gone deeper into the world we built with Raat Akeli Hai. This film explores the price of truth and the corruption of conscience, with the stakes higher than ever as Jatil now has to unravel a mass murder. Working with Netflix again allowed us to tell this story with complete honesty and scale, delivering a thriller that grips you emotionally as much as it shocks you.
Speaking about the IFFI premiere, he added, IFFI has always been a space that celebrates authentic storytelling, and it's an honour for our film to have its first screening here. This story is darker, more introspective, and far more personal. It's an edge-of-the-seat whodunit, about battling mysticism and influence to uncover the truth. With Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, we wanted to take the world we built earlier and push it into a deeper emotional terrain, where deceit, silence, and power collide in unexpected ways.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, marking a powerful return in one of his most celebrated roles shared, Returning as Jatil Yadav feels like revisiting a part of myself that never left. This film takes him to places he's never been, emotionally and morally. To see it premiere at IFFI before it reaches audiences worldwide on Netflix is truly special.
Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders will move from its celebrated IFFI world premiere to a global release on Netflix on 19th December 2025, bringing audiences worldwide a tense, layered, and emotionally charged whodunnit.
Streaming from 19th December, Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders only on Netflix
