Netflix movie review (Raat Akeli Hai)
Nowadays Netflix is one of my biggest spare time activity. I am watching Netflix movie and shows for my boredom.
This movie is actually a good movie I will recommend to if watch if you like thriller suspense.
Raat Akeli Hai is one of those films that slowly pulls you in without making a lot of noise. At first, it looks like a simple murder mystery, but the more you watch, the more you realize it’s about people, secrets, and the silence that hides the truth.
The story begins on a shocking note when a wealthy landlord is found brutally murdered on his wedding night, inside his own house. What makes it even more unsettling is that the crime happens in a house full of family members, all of whom seem calm, distant, and strangely unwilling to speak openly.
The investigation is led by Inspector Jatil Yadav, played brilliantly by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. He’s not your typical loud or heroic cop. He’s quiet, awkward, and deeply observant, someone who notices what others ignore. As he questions the family, it becomes clear that everyone is hiding something.
Conversations feel tense, looks feel suspicious, and the house itself feels heavy with unspoken history. The film doesn’t rush to give answers; instead, it lets discomfort build, making the audience feel just as uneasy as the inspector.
Radhika character adds an emotional layer to the story. Her interactions with Jatil are subtle but meaningful, showing how two lonely people connect in the middle of chaos and suspicion. The film cleverly uses these moments to humanize the investigation, reminding us that behind every case are real people with complicated emotions.
What really sets Raat Akeli Hai apart is how it talks about power, and family control without being preachy. The men hold authority, the women carry scars, and silence becomes a weapon. Every reveal feels earned, and when the truth finally comes out, it hits hard not because it’s shocking, but because it makes sense.
By the end, you’re left thinking about more than just who committed the crime. You think about how secrets are protected, how justice struggles against social status, and how lonely it can be to stand for the truth.
The Bansal Murders
If Raat Akeli Hai was intense, The Bansal Murders takes that same unsettling mood and pushes it even deeper. This time, the story moves away from the wedding-night shock and drops us into another powerful household where respectability hides rot.
The Bansal family looks perfect from the outside money, influence, and spotless public image but once death enters their home, everything begins to crack.
Inspector Jatil Yadav returns, and he’s older, more worn, but sharper than ever. You can feel the weight of his past cases in the way he observes people now.
He doesn’t rush, doesn’t raise his voice he lets people expose themselves. The murder itself is brutal, but what’s more disturbing is how calmly the family reacts, as if death is just another inconvenience to be managed.
Everyone has an alibi, everyone has a reason to lie, and everyone believes their power will protect them.
What makes the Bansal murders gripping is how the film slowly peels back layers of privilege, corruption, and emotional cruelty.
The women in the house carry quiet rage, the men hide behind authority, and truth keeps getting buried under money and fear. Each interrogation feels like a psychological duel rather than a police procedure.
There’s also a darker emotional undertone this time. Jatil isn’t just solving a case he’s questioning whether justice is even possible when the system favors the rich.
The mystery unfolds patiently, letting tension grow instead of relying on twists alone. And when the truth finally surfaces, it’s uncomfortable, bitter, and painfully realistic.
The Bansal Murders doesn’t just ask who killed whom it asks how many crimes society allows to happen simply because the wrong people commit them. That’s what makes it chilling, and that’s what stays with you.
