2025 Indian crime thriller film
Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders (transl. The Night Is Lonely: The Bansal Murders) is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language crime thriller film directed by Honey Trehan.[2] Produced by Ronnie Screwvala‘s RSVP Movies and Honey Trehan and Abhishek Chaubey‘s MacGuffin Pictures,[3][4] the film stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Chitrangada Singh,[5] with Radhika Apte making a special appearance. It is a sequel to Raat Akeli Hai (2020).[6][7]
Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders had its world premiere at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa on 21 November 2025, where it was screened as a gala premiere.[8]
Following its screening at the festival, the film was released on Netflix on 19 December 2025.[9]
Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India stated that “It is a whodunit worth the wait and A Cleverly Calibrated Crime Thriller.”[10]
Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times gave 3 stars out of 5 and said that “Overall, even when it stumbles, Raat Akeli Hai 2 remains compelling. There was scope to make it an even darker investigation drama. But a solid cast and a neatly resolved climax make it a worthy follow-up in spirit, if not in structure.”[11]
Anuj Kumar of The Hindu stated that ” director Honey Trehan crafts a mystery that intertwines crime and social commentary. Though uneven in pacing, the film deftly examines the intersection of entitlement and morality in society.”[12]
Rashmi Vasudeva of Deccan Herald rated it 3/5 stars and said that “The film plays out largely as a procedural, but the nervous unpredictability that made the first edition so compelling is sorely missed.”[13]
Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 2.5/5 stars and writes that “The best written character remains Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Jatil, still moving his mouth in the way he did in the first film, as the moral centre of the film.”[14]
Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in feels that “The new movie doesn’t have the potency of its predecessor, or the atmospheric visuals that suggested perverse deeds unfolding in dark corners.”[15]
Bollywood Hungama rated it 2.5/5 stars and said that “On the whole, RAAT AKELI HAI: THE BANSAL MURDERS works in parts, mainly because the climax is unpredictable, while the performances of Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Revathy stand out. However, the film suffers due to uneven writing and execution. An average fare, at best.”[16]
Devesh Sharma of Filmfare gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and said that ” It is a sobering, intelligent thriller that confirms this franchise is less about murder mysteries and more about the moral loneliness of those who choose to see clearly.”[17]
Archika Khurana of The Times of India rayed it 3/5 stars and said that “A sincere, slow-burn sequel elevated by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, but short on the tension that made the original memorable.”[18]
Lachmi Deb Roy of Firstpost gave 4 stars out of 5 and said that “Netflix’s ‘Raat Akeli Hai’ 2 doesn’t divert from keeping the writing immersive and the best part of this film is that it never thins down.[19]
