Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 27 : The makers of actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui's starrer crime thriller 'Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders' have announced the release date for the film.
The upcoming film also marks director Honey Trehan's latest project and brings Nawazuddin Siddiqui back to his role as Inspector Jatil Yadav, a determined investigator, first introduced to fans in the 2020 hit 'Raat Akeli Hai.'
The makers, on Thursday, took to their Instagram account to share a teaser for the film along with the release date. The crime thriller is set to premiere globally on Netflix on December 19, just days after its world premiere at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa.

Written by Smita Singh and directed by Trehan, the film expands the universe created by the original movie, but with a fresh set of characters and conflicts. Unlike the first film, which centered around a single murder, this instalment focuses on the aftershocks of a mass killing and the darkness beneath wealth and reputation.
The film also stars Chitrangada Singh, Rajat Kapoor, Deepti Naval, Ila Arun, Revathy, Akhilendra Mishra, Priyanka Setia, Sanjay Kapoor, and Radhika Apte in key roles alongside Siddiqui.
The first film, released in 2020, received praise for its strong performances and gripping narrative. Now, the sequel promises to bring back the same tense atmosphere, with new twists and emotional depth.
'Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders' will begin streaming exclusively on Netflix from December 19.
