The trailer of the upcoming film ‘Neeyat’ which stars Vidya Balan in the lead, was unveiled on Thursday. With a length of over 2 minutes and 24 seconds, the trailer paints a riveting picture of a whodunit mystery.
It begins with Ram Kapoor’s character of billionaire, Ashish Kapoor, organising a gathering at his castle in Scotland. As the celebrations go on in full swing, Ashish jumps off from the cliff leaving everyone flabbergasted. Enters Vidya Balan, a detective, Mira Rao who breaks the news to Kapoor’s guests that this one is not a suicide but a murder.
The movie also stars Rahul Bose, Neeraj Kabi, Amrita Puri, Shahana Goswami, Niki Walia, Dipannita Sharma, Shashank Arora, Prajakta Koli, Danesh Razvi, Ishika Mehra and Madhav Deval in pivotal roles.
The trailer reminds of the Daniel Craig-starrer ‘Knives Out’ with a dysfunctional family and their web of secrets acting as the central themes.

Mumbai, Feb 20: Miss India 2017 Jhataleka Malhotra makes her Bollywood debut opposite Poonam Dhillon's son Anmol Thakeria Dhillon in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali-backed romantic drama, Tuesdays And Fridays. She recalls how Bhansali put her at ease during an outdoor shoot in London.
"We were shooting in the UK and he came on set one day. Since I was aware that he would be coming, I had been conscious about how I would be performing on camera and what he would say. I remember while shooting a dance sequence I missed the step. I think my nervousness was visible and he understood. He came up to me and said, 'you are doing just fine, do not feel nervous, it is ok'. Sanjay sir spoke to me for two minutes and that whole cloud went away!" Jhatalekha revealed.
She is thrilled to make her debut in a film produced by Bhansali.

When Vikas Bahl announced Shaandaar, the expectations understandably soared. After all, he had given us one of the most endearing and fun movies of 2014 – Queen. With the Alia – Shahid chemistry visible in the promos, it looked like the movie had everything going for it. What you get instead is a bad potpourri which tries to be everything and ends up going nowhere.
The movie starts with a (rather long) animated prologue which establishes the characters of the Arora family, who are a Bollywood version of a Disney family. There is the strict conniving Mummyji (Sushma Seth), a silent loving father (Pankaj Kapur), a shrewd step-mother (Niki Walia), a chubby sister with a heart of gold (Sanaah) and a poor pretty orphan kid (Alia).
