But the new teaser for Ritesh Shah’s debut, Gajab Raat, drops a gritty snapshot of a midnight chase.
The trailer snaps us straight into the chaos: a young woman is shoved out of a humming car in the heart of New Delhi, and police sirens wail as Bajpayee’s Ajay Dixit scrambles to untangle a web of lies.
When Netflix first released the film as Ghooskhor Pandat, social media erupted—users slammed the title as caste‑insensitive, an FIR was filed at Hazratganj police station, and the NHRC sent a notice to the Ministry.
The ensemble line‑up—Saqib Saleem, Divya Dutta, Akshay Oberoi, Kiku Sharda, Shraddha Das—carries the narrative with solid gravitas, but the star power of Bajpayee and Bharuccha keeps the audience glued.
Netflix will unveil the full film on Oct 23, giving viewers a chance to see Bajpayee’s razor‑sharp performance and Bharuccha’s earnest presence.
Verdict: a tight, no‑filler thriller that proves titles matter as much as the story.
