New trailer teases a gripping crime thriller where every truth is a trap
Mumbai, 9 December 2025: Netflix has unveiled the intense trailer for Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, the highly awaited sequel to the hit crime thriller. Directed by Honey Trehan and written by Smita Singh, the film takes viewers back to the eerie Bansal mansion, where a wealthy family is found murdered and the survivors hide behind locked doors and deeper secrets.
A Darker, More Dangerous Case for Inspector Jatil Yadav
Nawazuddin Siddiqui returns as Inspector Jatil Yadav, now facing a case even more twisted than before. This time, Jatil is older, tougher, and sharper. As he steps into a maze of lies, suspects smile like friends yet deceive like experts.
Furthermore, every clue contradicts the last.
Every confession shifts suspicion.
And every truth feels like a trap waiting to snap.
Reflecting on the character, Nawazuddin says, “Jatil may have changed, but his resolve remains the same.” His eye for detail and objectivity continue to guide him, even as power and intimidation close in.
A Powerful Ensemble Heightens the Suspense
The film brings together a stellar cast including Chitrangda Singh, Radhika Apte, Deepti Naval, Ila Arun Bajpai, Revathy Asha Kelluni, Rajat Kapoor, Sanjay Kapoor, Priyanka Setia, Shridhar Dubey, and Akhilendra Mishra. Their brief but impactful moments in the trailer deepen the mystery surrounding the Bansal family.
Chitrangda Singh Delivers Her Most Layered Performance
Chitrangda’s portrayal of Meera blends fragility with quiet strength.
Speaking about the role, she explains, “There’s both fragility and toughness in Meera.” Living in emotional and moral shadows, Meera stands on the edge of revealing the truth—but fear keeps her from stepping forward.
Radhika Apte Returns With Renewed Strength
As Radha, Radhika Apte brings emotional stability and warmth to the story. Now more grounded and self-assured, her character adds depth to Jatil’s journey.
“Radha’s growth shows new sides of Jatil,” she shares. “It’s always wonderful to return to Netflix.”
The Bansal Mansion: A Silent, Watching Presence
Meanwhile, the trailer turns the Bansal mansion into a character of its own. Cold corridors, locked rooms, and blood-splattered walls create an atmosphere where every shadow feels alive—and every hallway seems to be watching.
A Bigger, Bolder Chapter for the Franchise
After its world premiere at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), the sequel promises higher stakes and a gripping dive into betrayal, greed, power, and blind faith.
A mass murder.
A mansion full of secrets.
And a cop swallowed by the truth he seeks.
