**Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders** (2025) is the highly anticipated sequel to the 2020 Hindi crime thriller *Raat Akeli Hai*.
Inspector Jatil Yadav (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) returns to investigate the brutal massacre of the wealthy Bansal family in their Kanpur mansion. As he unravels a tangled web of greed, betrayal, corporate secrets, cover-ups, and long-buried injustices, every family member and associate becomes a suspect in this eerie, layered whodunit.
Directed by Honey Trehan with a strong ensemble including Chitrangada Singh, Radhika Apte (special appearance), Revathi, Deepti Naval, Rajat Kapoor, and Sanjay Kapoor, it delivers tense suspense, moral complexity, and sharp social commentary β often compared to a desi *Knives Out*.
A solid follow-up with strong performances and a neatly resolved climax, it's been praised as an engrossing murder mystery.
